[@samwell707]

My god this channel is a treasure trove of knowledge

[@marimillones]

I know it's been a ong time of this lecture, but at this time I'm receiving the information need it for my own journey. When you turned the camera I could see my brain connections through the tree branches expanding. Namaste 🙏

[@williamhodge3931]

Dear Raja finding your teachings today. Perhaps KZbin is the best place to help people awaken to the divinity I would like to thank you very much for opening this discussion I believe we need old ways to enlighten the people of the world once more to help humanity.

[@joefox9765]

Wow, the PSN also has a connection with the chakras and nadis. As I listened to this amazing recording I hear the chaos in the background while the doctor is talking about yoga and unity there is the destruction and Chaos so prevalent on Earth going on in the background. The two opposites!

[@archanakulkarni6707]

Extremely thankful to you for connecting . Thank you Ma 👑👑🙏🙏🙏

[@cybercheese3]

Your original kundalini video really helped me understand what had happened when i took lsd, the left side right side breathing, opening popping of something in my ribcage and head, the snake grabbing its tail, the energy and visions. Really without this knowledge and some other occult knowledge I may have gone mad, it makes me angry that psychadelics and this knowledge have been for whatever reason mostly hidden from society in todays age. Thank you again.

[@grrmtthgrrmtth3000]

You present your teachings in a way that is easy to follow. Thank you.

[@quietspace5408]

I didn’t know what was happening bc I am as looking for any of these but I started meditation something up to 3 hours at day and that change my life! Something in my head clip and I saw oh my God amazing things. I keep do it , it feels great, in the beginning when I started seem all these colors around I thought I was going crazy but after watching your videos I understand more what is happening to me I am not afraid anymore, bc for me the body vibrating on medication was kind of scary but once’s it hits my head I saw amazing things involved on lights! It changed my life.

Thank you so much brod i am interested to watch more of your videos i am hungry for more information or knowledge about consciousness ..

[@amadeus5403]

This very knowledge is why Jesus was considered a heretic. I personally see Jesus as one of the greatest teachers of all time.

[@anitha6249]

Avner Chaim Nice editing. Wudn't have explored even 1% of teachers India has had but have to say Jesus is the greatest of all, especially when practices from non Christian backgrounds are talked about. And conveniently say 'Just putting forth my opinion'. Well, then better stick to Jesus videos if you are already dead sure if he is THE ONLY greatest teacher the world has had or have the courtesy to not compare and spill your venom in the guise of being open. We never say which teacher was greater than which, because they are all great in their own way and had to do what they had to do in the situations they were placed in with the maturity and openness of people of that place. This comparison is a product of exclusivity beliefs inherent in abrahamic religions itself, and there is nothing spiritual or natural about it. I am venting here because how long should we stand the Abrahamics always claiming upper hand in everything and that too in a very cunningly devious way of 'appearing' rational and open minded?

[@anitha6249]

Avner Chaim self realized meditator? Self realisation when one is still in the discriminatory phase? Enlightenment and self realisation are the two most abused words today. Hindu India itself has scores of Jesus's and you have picked a book from each non hindu religion and come to a conclusion already. To learn about different Hindu gurus itself is a task of lifetime, leaving apart the schools of thought. While Jesus spoke only of one facet of yoga and that too with commandments because of the level of maturity of people of that time at that place, Shiva gave 112 ways with no commandments because people here at that time were already highly cultured. Anyways, you judge however you want. But what is annoying is why oh why you have to comment in this forum while this man is talking about spiritual practices from a Hindu perspective that Jesus is greater, thereby you make everyone else less. We acknowledge Jesus, just like we acknowledge any other realised master. But we don't have this ugly habit of saying Shiva is greater than Jesus 'in my opinion'. Comparing such great masters and raising one above the other is something inherent in abrahamic faiths itself. This is not a religious forum, the man is talking about spiritual practices. Even here one has to say 'in my opinion', this person is greater than that person' which is exactly what abrahamic religions have done since 2000 years and wiped out native cultures. Now that you can't take swords publicly, at the least you have to publicly say 'mine is greater than yours' as if the work is not carried on by your missioneries in an uglier way already. All this is so very innocent and open minded, with no ulterior motives.

[@anitha6249]

Avner Chaim If you were true to your words, if you truly realised there is no division, then there wouldn't have arisen a thought that Jesus is greater than other masters. We have so many masters in India with different levels of social work at different time periods, and we don't say which one is greater than which. We go by who we are comfortable with without discrediting others. Even theoretically speaking, Jesus showed only one way and not all. No need to apologise to others. Let's atleast be honest to ourselves. Native people have been silent for too long and have been reduced to what they are now. There will come a time for us too, but we'll conquer through love and not exclusiveness. Good luck!

[@AntilawZ1]

Anitha Narayanan oh come on, We don't really know what happened back then... Why should we get heated and exchange poisonous astral darts over these things of the past? We are going on mostly what murderous victors of those days deemed fit for the masses to know according to their agenda. Do we really think they handed us the correct story? I'm sure they handed the masses info to entrap their souls. We must get through this obstacle course we've encarnated in. The highest truth is right there! Just maybe with a bit if a hardened shell of samskaras and Maya obscuring it, haha! Peace

[@anitha6249]

neurotek huh? I didn't say anything exclusive or racist myself. The original commenter has edited and deleted his/ her comment. So your reply is apt for the original commenter who claimed exclusiveness. No need to lecture an easterner on belief vs seeking.

[@rushzan503]

Hello sir. I've been practicing kundalini meditation with kriya for nearly 3 years now. Started Srividya panchadashi 6 months back.. so through the years I've been able to grow from vaguely feeling the different centers vibrating to being able to vibrate them at will.. I have at times hit chitta (thuriya) but that is still not completely under my will. M also a Surgeon and I have pondered over the exact topic uve covered in the last 4 minutes of the video.. 1. In addition to what uve said id like u to look into the topic of referred pain. Eg in appendicitis the Visceral pain (carried by the parasympathetic nerves) is felt around the umbilicus although the pathology is in the right lower abdomen. Similarly gall bladder pathologies may present with right shoulder pain. Y this is relevant is we don't have any anatomical equivalents to the different energy centers.. we do have the celiac, mesentric nervous plexus but they aren't anatomically at the same location (although close to their sites of innervations). The referred symptoms from these nerves could explain the elusive Anatomy of the different centers. 2. The parasympathetic ganglions (all autonomic nerves have extra spinal ganglions ) are possibly in the locations of the different chakras which is something I myself will have to look into (as the anatomy of these is not extensively studied). 3. The fact that chemicals were able to induce artificial states of exhaltation and psychedelic experiences makes me want to hypothesize that perhaps the magic is within the brain. The cerebral cortex is an organ of perception. Bringing into play the old "psycho-somatic, somato psychic" concept. Maybe by sitting a certain way, by chanting certain sounds, by focussing on different parts we are bringing about cognitive changes/ unlocking hidden cognitive potential. Ur videos are food for thought. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

[@rajadasworld]

Your path is similar to mine. Please contact me through my site www.rajachoudhury.com

[@akshayagarwal6]

Thanks for your video sir. I have been practicing vipassana before and now I have moved to kundalini after watching your videos. I feel that dark night of soul around during the practise. What do you think how to get rid of this demons present in us ?

[@rajadasworld]

There is no real dark night of the soul - that is a misunderstanding of how the energy affects us. Blocks are physical and when the light starts to come and the energy starts to rise in us our bodies react to counter these new feelings and we have to just calm our bodies and our three brains. Part of the body's reaction and arsenal in the upper brain is to dredge up stuff and try and stop you. So we learn to conquer our lower Sun first - the Muladhara, Svadhithana and the Manipura. Contact me for further guidance [e-mail] and watch the next video in this series if you can

[@standinginson1]

chetan dhumane it All depends on the physical and mental conditioning of the person. I thought my system was cleaned up mentally, physically and spiritually.... I saw demons walking around for a month and felt every energy from everyone, everything living and even felt pulses from every cell tower within a 1/4 mile of me everywhere I went. I don’t see demons Much anymore but still feel energy from everything and everyone.

[@MENTALVisionGames137]

I don’t know if you’re still active on this channel or not. Maybe you can explain this to me. How is it possible for someone to have a kundalini awakening cycles for 11 years if they don’t know what kundalini is or even been introduced to Hinduism? I never even heard of chakras before. My neurologists and cardiologists, don’t know about it either? I spent 10 years thinking I was dying and something was wrong with me. Nobody told me what was going on. Now imagine going through something like that not being aware of what’s going on as a completely, blind person. Then maybe you would understand how important it is for people to be informed of this. Even if they never get a chance to awaken it, they still have the universal right by the creator to know about it. Just like we learn about biology and grade school. And people wonder how conspiracy theories are started. Lol Or am I foolish to think spiritual freedom shouldn’t be locked in a box and hidden from us.? so my question is, if you don’t know about kundalini, how can you awaken it accidentally? Or do you want to charge people by the hour Just to answer confused peoples questions talso? 2:47

I remember the nazi military using the kundalini emblem as a symbol of power and strength of power.

[@guillermodozal7166]

Raja, I can see your enthusiasm talking kundalini. I’ve figured that the only source of KY is on all those symbols on the seven chakras, the three nadis and coiled serpent. I’ve found no other source. Your lecture does not include any of those symbols. Have you found another source? If not, please stop calling your ideas kundalini. Hint: have you figured out the meaning of the five pairs of petals in manipura? It’s the five vertices of the skeletal body: ankles, knees, hips, and the S-1 and T-7 vertebral bodies. This is how KY talks are to be conducted, otherwise it’s just nonsensical gibberish.

[@lizh1970]

Your Indian the staff of hermes represents the nadis , the Greek christos wasn't the kundalini shakti .
