I practiced the kirtan kriya (SA TA NA MA), it felt wrong. It felt really creepy. And in my silent meditation, I saw a demon who has been watching me for some time. I later learned SA TA NA is the name is Satan. I don’t want to go back to Christianity because people in that community did me wrong and I was suffocating from the idea of a narcissistic and egoic god. Nothing about my church felt like love and they constantly shamed me and my experience with Christianity was hell. I wanted my mind to be free and be safe to be curious. But after that kriya, I have to find Christ again because Jesus is the only one I know who can deal with Satan.

Sorry to hear bout your experience. I just checked out that thing you mentioned. It's just disturbing to see and hear... I'm actually a returning Christian after 20 years of backsliding. Series of events and coincidences happened. God sent 3 signs. Long story. But just like that, I'm back to Christianity. Lately I've been going to different churches, both Catholic and Protestant ones. Yes I do see certain differences here and there. You seem like you've been Christian way longer than me. But why not check out different churches. Things happen for a reason. It'll get better

For anyone on here wondering what the difference between being saved by the Holy Spirit and experiencing kundalini is... For one, when you ask for you Holy Spirit, it takes zero self effort. There is nothing you can do to make you more likely to receive it. It is a gift, not something you achieve. Also, people who receive kundalini are often seen experiencing body shaking, uncontrollable laughter, quick muscle spams... Receiving the Holy Spirit brings only ultimate peace, love, and joy.

Please don't intellectualize away the oppportunity of a lifetime: meeting your LORD. He didn't teach eastern methods. He even told His disciples "Use not vain repetitions like the heathen" (mantras).

Actually, Jesus did say that, and was quoted by Luke. Jesus was once asked when the kingdom of God would come. The kingdom of God, Jesus replied, is not something people will be able to see and point to. Then came these striking words: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) What people fail to understand is that Jesus meditated, and rose the kundalini force. In those times prayer and meditation went hand in hand.

The guru I studied under taught us that Jesus was an avatar and because He was an avatar (an incarnation of God) He could only speak the truth. That compelled me to start searching out what He had to say. Yogi Bhajan taught that Jesus death on the cross was just a tragic death of a good man who gave us an example of obedience unto death to fulfill a calling. Yet JESUS Himself said, as He passed the cup, "This is the blood of the New Covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

I'm sorry, but if someone has had an authentic full blown Kundalini awakening, there is no "switching" of preferences. I'm neither a teacher, and always glad to find out I'm wrong in my assumptions. I'm non-religious per se , but have developed an interest in, and studied most all of them since this process began, it does help dramatically. They can be validated somewhat, through the experiences. Kundalini seems to be getting a bad rap, or being misunderstood completely. There's no crazy throwing your body around and fainting like is being portrayed, and it goes away after the initial growth process. Best Wishes to all, with love😊

I did not say that God was "reincarnated" into Jesus---because it only happened one time. Jesus was the only "incarnation" of God into this world. Incarnation simply means that God was manifested in the flesh (in carna means in the flesh). The Godhead is comprised of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each has a distinct mind, will and emotions---yet all three are ONE GOD, so much so that Jesus said, "He who has seen Me has seen My Father." This is the great mystery of the Christian faith.

At the time we set up the ashram in Tampa (1970) there was no set pattern for the way we started the day (asanas, pranayama, etc). In the beginning we were fairly autonomous in the way we conducted classes etc. In this lecture, I didn't go into detail about the exact schedule we followed, I just talked in general terms. That is not the main issue. The primary thing is that JESUS is and was the ONLY INCARNATION OF GOD ever to visit this world, giving His life on the cross for our sins. It's true.

In the Bible, our teacher, Yeshua tells us to take no thought. The number seven in the Bible represents divine intervention, as well as our seven chakras. This is why the walls fail down. This is a symbol for enlightenment. If you go and look, the walls are still there, so they did not really fall. The entire Bible is allegory, according to the apostle Paul and Jesus himself spoken parables.when you awaken your kundalini, energy and gain control of the serpent, you achieve wisdom. So really, everyone who meditates is following the way of Jesus.

Yes you are absolutely right--especially in the name of "contemplative prayer" certain Hindu meditation techniques are being introduced in Christian circles, dressed up in biblical terminology---but it is an incorrect method of seeking God. If God was an impersonal force (as is taught in Hinduism, New Age and New Thought groups) then repeating some kind of monotone "mantra" or "prayer word" would make sense. But He is a PERSONAL God----so approaching God this way is both an insult and an error.

In John 3:14-16 Jesus said, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

I am not so sure about that. I was only following and surrendering to Jesus when I experienced the sleeping "serpent energy" awakening. I am not saying that it is wise to awaken this dormant energy for the sake of itself. Even wanting this is a function of the false ego self. Your life as you knew it will cease. The people you thought loved you will call your crazy because you will all of a sudden develops gifts that can't be explained, want to live a life of altruism and the desires of the flesh die. I was forced into a 2-week fast and lost 20 lbs. I only wanted union with God not even my spouse. An amazing smell came out of my sinuses. The element of water would bubble when I would witness to others about Jesus. People were drawn to me and told me their problems while I witnessed to them. My family was very worried. Yet I was not. For the first time in my life, I finally felt connected to God. My body was vibrating and the supernatural became a reality. My intellect had to make sense of it, so I partially halted the process and went seeking answers. When I queried God on it, Bible verses were downloaded into my mind like "out of the belly will flow rivers of living water", many verses on the "oil of gladness" and the "just as Moses lifted up the serpent so that all who looked to it would be healed so too the Son of Man" shall be lifted up." I had read the Bible 7 times in full by then. The refiners fire mentioned all throughout the Bible comes after the energy ascends to the solar plexus (sun). I began eating denser foods again to come back to planet Earth. I had no idea what it even was. I had my awakening the evening I finished the Book of Jude before Revelation which explains this internal process. Only Jesus is worthy of opening the 7 seals. I merely lived my life in humble service to others for 30 years. I never pursued advanced degrees or titles. There were other things the Spirit led me to do but I am not sure if they are entirely a precursor or not, but I believe so. I was led to do a deep dive into the Bible for the 7th time after a mystical experience with Jesus, do creative things, play the piano, create gardens, inner child healing work, remove all fluoride, get my body alkaline (figs are a 30 on the PH chart), addictions and all processed foods. Also, literally grounding, praying in my garden. All Prophets dropped down to their sack cloths, covered themselves in dirt in travailing prayer. I also had to sacrifice myself and forgive someone who hurt me more terribly than my greatest abusers for the sake of the greater whole, a long story. It all made sense as I went back and realized I was being led to purify and prepare for the internal "anointing." I only learned about the balancing of both sides of the brain, the Sacred Secretion, getting alkaline, fasting and the moon being in your sun sign years later. Jesus always sits at the right hand of the Father. Why not left? Because most of us operate in our left brain (logic and intellect). The right brain is our intuitive, creative side. Bill Donohue hidden meanings has a lot of good info on this. After many years asking Priests and leaders in the church one leaving the priesthood finally gave me what I needed to hear when he whispered, "inner alchemy" and recommended a book about knowing your true self. "Knowing thyself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Aristotle. I believe it is knowing yourself in Christ or divine love. Peace to you and yours.

DEAR BROTHERS & SISTERS: Do not let ANYONE make you think that YOU are the crazy one in this world. You either know God and his spirit or you don't. You dont have to have ever set foot in a church and paid your weekly 10% tax. You don't have to follow a bunch of stupid rules to find God. You are either born of the spirit or you are not. Different languages or "tongues" call it different things. Bottom line is if you fully surrender to God (verse 24) and are sincere, he will set you apart. He will choose you and give you his spirit. What is God's name? Right, and we don't know his spirits name either. If you are still jerking off like a monkey, if you are still losing control of your emotions, raging out, if you are still treating others with judgement and contempt. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BUT YOUR IMAGINATION. Now, if the spirit you received produces this, call it whatever you want, it is FROM GOD. PERIOD. Galatians 5:22-24 22 But the Holy Spirit PRODUCES this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.

Then I branched off and opened an ashram in Tampa, Florida, while teaching at four universities in that area. Most of those in the ashram did go to work, but I followed a more lengthy routine and sometimes some of the others joined in. Whether Yogi Bhajan referred to himself as a "guru" or not is irrelevant.

Kundalini awakening & ego death is not necessarily demonic. it's just scary because you are experiencing something new in your state of consciousness and you get beyond the familiar, plus the energy all over the place it's pretty scary also. Attaching a belief to it such as a Christian belief makes it worse. you need to remember that all of that energy was stuck energy by the muscles and there is an intense release when the chacras ( energy centers ) are being released. It's a matter of letting go of any dogma and let the energy flow through your body while letting time do the healing for you. It's your mind that makes the healing process not soothing because of the negative beliefs attached to the experience but you need to trust me let go just relax into it until you get back into synchronization with your new self. Also intense exercise helps to. Because when you tire your body you can't think almost so calming the mind helps to ease in to the relaxation. The mind Is very powerful and it can be either heal you or deceive you. The intense "Demonic Energy" that you feel is all of your stuck fears & traumas from the past. And the lost of interest is your sense of self not being there. Eventually the sense of self comes back a long with your routines. Just do not attach false beliefs to the experience.

Asking for Jesus's deliverance from awakening when it's really about your early childhood development you have avoided looking at all your life. Jesus isn't going to tell you your own Mother was abusive. Kundalini will tell you, and make you do something about it. Christianity is for those you which to read about experiencing the divine. Stay in the shallow end, cause you'll hate us just the same once you are rescued from yourself.

Only Love remained. As Paul says in Corinthians, "I Die to the Self daily." Well this happened when I got the Spirit and Kundalini at the same time. Perhaps without the Spirit its wrong

No, Jesus is the Son of God, He didnt go into the wilderness to improve Himself, He was their to fulfill the prophecies that would quench the hold of law of spiritual death over the world, so we could have the opportunity to choose spiritual life through the free gift of Salvation after He endured all the sins (punishment) of the world (from Adam to us & future sins) & died on the cross, taking our physicsl & spirital punishment for sin, instead of us having to die spiritually (and not having to do works to achieve salation). That is why the true JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth came so we can choose, His eternal spiritual life or the erternal spiritual death of sin. Jesus was first baptised & filled with the HOLY SPIRIT (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) in the Jordan river. Then Jesus, full of and controlled by the HOLY SPIRIT, returned from Jordan and was led in the HOLY SPIRIT. For forty days in the wilderness where He was tempted (tried, tested exceedingly) by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed. He was hungry. Then the devil said to Him, If you are the Son of God, order this stone to turn into a loaf of bread. And Jesus replied to him, It is written, Man shall not live and be sustained by bread alone but by every word of God. (Deuteronomy 8:3l Then the devil (Satan) took Him up to a high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment. And he said to Him, To You I will give all this power and authority and their glory (magnificence, fir it has been turned over to me (by Adam's sin) and I give it to whomever I will. Therefore, if You will do homage to and worship me (just once), it shall be all Yours. And Jesus replied to him, Get behind Me, Satan! It is written, You shall do homage to and worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve. (Deuteronomy 6:13, 10:20) Then he took Him to Jerusalem and set Him on a gable of the temple, and said to Him, If you are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here; For it is written, He will give His angels charge over you to guard and watch over you closely; And on their hands, they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. (Psalm 91:11-12) And Jesus replied to him, The Scriptures says, You shall not tempt (try, test exceedingly) the Lord your God. Then Jesus went back full of and under the power of the HOLY SPIRIT into Galilee..."

But it involves a flow of thought, not cessation of thought.

out of his body for 3 days due to extreme discipline and then being able to reintegrate back into his physical body and heal it. Yes some Easterners would say he was a master of the chi! Then there is the Upanishad of Saint Thomas that I came across where Isawaran is supposed to mean Jesus is Lord via some arcane translations. There is more in common with the consciousness of Christ and the early Christian beliefs with some of your beliefs than you think. But sadly many Christians don't know it.

Thanks for the comment Zeno. What is interesting is that I didn't know about these dieties at all prior to that experience! I didn't know about the underlying spiritual and religious aspects of yoga UNTIL I had that visitation. So in what way did my cultural filter contribute to that since I was ignorant of them prior? I think you're right about Westerners not being able to understand Eastern philosophies because the ethos underlying their thought processes are so different to an extent...

Yoga and Christianity has been a natural mixture for me. I understand that my body has a physiological chemistry that can cause an inability to relax and pray with the heart. As someone who is very sensitive to my environment, I struggled with the chatter in my mind that would ensue to distract me from discomfort. I would try to talk myself out of it. A friend telling me the same thing helped more...but I realized at last that I had to go to the source of the problem. It was my body and I needed to approach my body in a different way. To keep doing it with talking would be insane. So I started to comfort my body. I started to learn different things that made my body feel good. The stretch of yoga- a calculated stretch along the neurological pathways- soothed my body like a massage but it was non-invasive and always at my disposal because I could do it all myself. Then I learned what it felt like to relax as yoga got me to that point from time to time (I was a tough case.). When I relaxed, things changed in my body and.... AND...my mind. I thought differently. I even thought less at times and just let go. So, I found something called Yoga Nidra. This yoga helped me to start working with my mind in a relaxed state to discover how my thoughts and my feelings were separate from my body and that these thoughts and feelings could be allowed to flow around me, on me, but with the experience of my body being on its own. I could leave my body out of all that and make it my center of influence. So now I was sitting in stillness allowing those feelings to go back and forth from happy to sad, up to down, angry to happy. My thoughts from no to yes, why to who cares, sure to no way...all as my body rested. I was the body, strong and solid and then I HAD feelings that come and go and thoughts that I did and then did not know. I would forget them as I continued to sit in stillness. Then I started to do yoga stretches with my body separate and feeling the muscles and the flow of my own circulation as the solid part of me. And I would listen to the prayers that I love, the bible that I love. All those things that St. Paul told us to focus on. The Rosary, as I moved my body and connected. The thoughts and the feelings would feel like dreams. And that is when I reached the goal I had in mind. I was awake and yet I was asleep at the same time. The rest was as good as sleep in many ways and all of this was a practice for me to get control of the chemical imbalance that occurred in my body since I was a young child. Medication became something that I no longer felt that I would have to live on for the rest of my life. And my prayer life became deep and easy instead of nerve wracking. I love the rosary and yet to say it seemed like a sinful struggle as I apologized for not being able to stay with it. Not after I engaged in this process. So, as controversial as this may sound- I am putting this out on the internet in a place where it will always stay. This is my testimony of how Christianity and Yoga went together for me. Take out the word yoga and replace the word with relaxation and stretching and breathing. Then it is Christianity in a deepened, more holy and wholly present way. Can we be upset about a word? Yoga? Yoga does not teach against Jesus. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is used by other religions and so is the practice of praying using beads and relaxing the mind with holy thoughts. I have heard now that there is something called Holy Yoga. Yoga? Call it Holy and it is Christian? It is more simple than all of this for me. Perhaps it is because I am a natural born writer and wordsmiths don't typically have an ax to grind with any particular word. We ponder meanings and we make beautiful designs with them. Amen to the man who understands that we were given our body as the temple of God. It is our temple and it is the part of us that we can rest in and let go as long as we keep it tone and whole and recognize it as a place that is safe to focus on and enjoy.

@Citabria007 Actually Jesus did not say that "God is within you", He told his listeners they should not expect to be able to "observe" the establishing of "the kingdom of God" for , "The kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17) When carefully read and compared to all other scriptures on that subject it becomes apparent that Jesus was speaking hypothetically. He was NOT declaring that the kingdom was ACTUALLY WITHIN His opponents, but that if they ever did experience it, it would be internal.

In response to the comment by forgottenmememories, Hindus well understand the spiritual nature of yoga. In fact, the managing editor of Hinduism Today is not so naive to believe it is just "physical exercises". In his article “Hinduism is the Soul of Yoga,” he says, “A Christian trying to adapt these practices will likely disrupt their own Christian beliefs .”

Given his message of ecumenacalism and how he was open and kind and had a transformational experience I don't think he's lying. The message of love and being kind is often preached by yogis and yoginis and I truly believe they are sincere. I just don't like the goddesses and gods that imbue them with power because of my personal experience. I would have never known that they were real had it not been for a personal interchange with shakti and it was scary because she tempted me!

I understand that viewpoint, because it was once mine, but now I realize that every human being does not have an inner potential for "Christ-consciousness" that must be "awakened." Rather God is external prior to the experience of salvation and when Jesus enters the heart of a person, then we receive the "mind of Christ" (the attitudes and understanding of the Son of God).

For sins to be washed away, there must be repentance. I agree that America is in great need of repentance. One thing I LOVE about the India culture is that compared to the U.S. they are much thirstier for spiritual realities and easy to turn to God. The western culture is far too materialistic. All cultures have good and bad points. The main thing is that JESUS is the only incarnation of God and through Him YOU can receive the gift of eternal life. Just ask Him to manifest Himself to you.

Then like I said above the teachings of ORIGEN an original church father...you will find convergence in many of these ideas.

Jesus was a student of brahmins at Jagganath Puri and Tibetan monks there are scrolls in Tibet that document this, in other words Jesus practised meditation and undoubtedly raised his kundalini which is why he was considered a self realized god. Why Christians would disuade a spiritual practice that creates health and raises your consiousness is beyond all logic, especially when you do the research and learn it was practised by Jesus and early Christians

There is no salvation without meditation. It is just relaxation, merely learning to drop all burdens and give them to god. The more we relax into whatever we are the more room there is for the (holy) spirit to come in. You cannot be close to Christ unless you are meditating. The techniques people use are just helps--but not necessary. Meditation is just accepting yourself, god, wherever you are right now in this moment, being completely. It is the same thing as prayer. "Praying without ceasing."

All I know is that there have not been many avatars; there has only been one incarnation of God. I don't say this to be "opinionated" and "harsh", but because I have encountered the AMAZING love of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the true Messiah. No one else died on the cross for the sins of humanity; no one else rose from the dead. No one else can restore us back to what we lost. God is not an internal cosmic energy that must be awakened; He is personal. He wants to come in your heart. Seek Jesus.

In yoga you either focuses on yourself or god no other things are invited or involved. There are a lot of misconceptions about kundalini yoga. You guys need to study it research and then come to conclusion. Kundalini yoga is for those people who renounced the materialistic world. Not for those people who are still living materialistic life and interested in materialistic life. And you need to become free from your ego,desires and fear. You need follow the certain kind of lifestyle level of moral code. Then only it will work out. Then only it will work out.

That "Spark" of God within us, is the Spirit of God; it 'is' God; it is Life itself; that which animates all things; that which is Mind/Consciousness; & that is truly 'us'; each individual at their core is that "Spark"/Piece of God/the All. & it is in everything and everyone. God is simply working thru every single instance, situation & person; trying to teach us about ourselves; the only imperfection within anybody, is that of ones inability to recognize such.

At that time when he was teaching Beattitudes the Holy Spirit hadn't been given out yet and there was no such thing as a "Christian" then.

The Bible is largely silent about Jesus’ hidden years. It does imply what probably happened. When Jesus was 12, he purposefully stayed in Jerusalem after attending Passover. Joseph and Mary found him in the temple discussing doctrines with the theologians. "He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them." Years later, when Jesus announced his ministry in Nazareth at the age of 30, "as his custom was, he went into the synagogue, and stood up to read."

Edgar Cayce missed it. He taught Jesus was in India during his hidden years learning at the feet of the gurus and he claimed to get his information from the Akashic Records. But the writer of the Aquarian Gospel claimed to get info from the same source and his was completely different. Jesus did not have to learn how to awaken some supposed kundalini serpent power. He was God manifested in the flesh. Go to my website (the true light) and the article "Where was Jesus during His hidden years?"

The wheel in the middle of the wheel is not a symbol of the chakras but a symbol of the endlessness of eternity---something Ezekiel experienced in the throne room of God. I would urge you my friend to ask Jesus to supernaturally manifest himself to you. If you ever have an encounter with Him that very experience will provide all the answers. Just spend 1 DAY reading the Gospel of John and praying ONLY to Jesus, in a flow of conversation, not a mantra-like chant. He WILL COME TO YOU!!!
