AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is the role of Kundalini awakening in the traditional yoga method and Sri Aurobindo’s yoga? I have read in Savitri that when the Kundalini chakra opens, then psycho-spiritual transformation happens. πŸͺ»πŸŒ€[…]

Here I have a little doubt, those who have experienced Kundalini awakening, are their beings transformed?

Awakening of the Kundalini does not transform human nature. It only augments certain powers and capacities by opening the inner being to the cosmic consciousness. 

What is described in Savitri is the opening of the centres under the pressure of the psychic being and the descent of the Divine Mother’s Force. Hence, the powers and energies of the centres undergo the psycho-spiritual transformation. The opening of the centres are incidental or a natural consequence of the emergent soul and the pressure of the higher consciousness.Β 

In traditional Kundalini yoga, there is neither the awakening and discovery of the psychic being nor the descent of the Divine Force into the centres. It is done forcibly by the pressure of human will and certain psycho-physical practices.

So the psychospiritual transformation described in Savitri is not due to the awakening and opening of the Kundalini chakras but due to the soul stepping out and the Divine Force descending into the fields of nature. It is this which leads to the change, as well as and including the awakening of the Kundalini.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Dada, there is a professor at IISC who is a sadhaka in the sampradaya of Madhvacharya, and he says that, according to him, the way to find your Swadharma is to do what you can persistently despite failure. I want to ask, is this a good way of practically knowing, or is it too reductionist? And according to you, what can be the best practical way for a young child?πŸ§’πŸ“šβœ¨πŸŒ±

That is one way of looking at it. But a slightly negative and outer way of looking at it. There are plenty of things we do which do not involve success or failure. We do it because we find a natural joy in it. This spontaneous joy …

Is drinking small quantities of alcohol really that bad? Most people I know consume alcohol in some measure. I noticed that the ones who quit it completely face backlash from Society. For example, I heard business people say that you can’t trust a person who doesn’t drink. πŸ₯‚πŸ’¬πŸΈπŸŽΆ[…]

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. πŸͺ·βœ¨πŸ’–πŸ•―️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural.Β 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
