I will put it simply, the theory of yoga is that you can transform your brain chemistry and you subtle electro-magnetic physiology and this will accomplish this profound transformation of consciousness in stages which will ultimately lead to liberation. It produces the kind of profound alterations of consciousness poorly and destructively mimicked by pharmacologies like LSD or Ketamine or Ayahuasca. What I mean to describe is this experience is far beyond the average person, has nothing of the nature of hallucination, and does involve experiencing the reality of other worlds imperceptible to ordinary human consciousness. And once this change takes place, it's permanent. Your mind and brain would never be the same again. It is clear this kind of profound samadhi experience belonged to Kabir Ji. Thus, I have to conclude he was also brahmgyani and jeevan mukt.
You can't learn advanced practices like kechari mudra or certain kriyas without an experienced Guru. We can distill from Gurbani that Guruji has given us a practice. All these practices are related. |
Kundalini Yoga and Pranayam are related.
Yes, some sikhs in US do practice this as well [courtesy: Bhajan yogi] .
But awakening of kundalini,through breath control, is not professed by
Sikhism.We are ordinary people; we are advised to do Naam abhiyaas rest is all academics.
What I liked in the post is that you have stated that Naam and practice of the same is of importance. The practices may or may not be related, we do not know. Sikhs even do not know the 'sushmana'. They even need not know.It is all academics.
Sikhs should follow the edicts in words and spirit without bothering about Kundalini awakening. It is all academics.
