How Sahaja Yogis have to become themselves Ekadesh Rudra!

If you cannot enjoy Sahaja Yoga, then you should know that something is wrong with you. If you cannot feel happy in Sahaja Yoga then you must know there is something definitely wrong with you. If you cannot enjoy the company of Sahaja Yogis, then it is sure that something is wrong with you. If you cannot laugh and appreciate the greatness of God, then something is wrong with you. If you are still worried about negative people and their problems then know that there is something wrong with you. If you have sympathies with negative people, then also there something wrong with you. But if you have anger for negative and all that is negative that is against Sahaja Yoga, then you are there. When this thing gets matured then you become the power of "Ekadesh Rudra" your self.

Any body, who will try to insult you or to do any harm, will collapse. It has happened with many people who tried to be insulting to me or try to harm me or any way. Sometimes I am quite worried about them. So one has to be in such a way that they become the Ekadesh. Nobody can touch such people. But such a person is full of compassion and forgiveness. As a result Ekadesh acts much faster. The more compassionate you are the more powerful Ekadesh becomes. The more collective you become the more Ekadesh acts. Many people have a habit of receding back into their exclusion and saying that we better be at home and it is alright; but they don't know what they are missing. Whatever may be your experience with others you should stick on together, always attend programmes, take leadership go ahead with it, work it out and you will be blessed thousand folds.

Ekadesh Rudra have all the powers, I would say, of destruction, together. It is destructive power of Shri Ganesha. It is destructive power of Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesha. It is the destructive power of the Mother, It is the destructive power of Ganesha and four of these are Bhairava and Hanumana, Karttikeya and Ganesha. Also, the powers of Sadashiva and of the Adishakti. All the destructive powers of all the incarnations are Ekadesh. Now the last but not the least is the destructive power of Hiranyagarbha, which is collective Brahmadeva. And this power when it acts, every atom explodes the whole atomic energy goes into a destructive power. So thus the complete total destructive power is Ekadesh Rudra.

So, after the Ekadesh Rudra, ultimately the complete destruction comes through the anger of Sadashiva; when the final total destruction takes place. So thus we have seen how Ekadesh Rudra acts and how Sahaja Yogies have to become themselves Ekadesh Rudra

Swadisthana Chakra

INTRODUCTION

The Swadisthan Chakra is suspended like a satellite on a cord from the Nabhi Chakra, and moves around the Void area giving sustenance to the ten petals of the Void (which represent Ten Commandments). When the Kundalini rises, it passes into the Nabhi Chakra first and then along the cord to enlighten the Swadisthan and then returns to the Nabhi Chakra to continue the journey to the crown of the head. In the course of evolution, man translated his need for shelter into the building of homes. As his sense of aesthetics developed he continued to improve on these forms of shelter (until eventually architecture came about). This creativity evolved into abstract form, where he could imagine, project and create an image, which had no previous material counterpart. From this burgeoning aestheticism came the creative arts.

QUALITY

The fundamental quality of the Swadisthan Chakra is that of creativity. It is here that the energy for our creativity is generated. After our realization we discover that the true key to creativity is in achieving the state of thoughtless awareness (nirvichara samadhi) through our meditations.

From this we discover that all the beauty of the creation is reflected within us like a still and silent lake. Once we locate this pool and beauty we can become the channel for it. We become the creative instrument of the collective unconscious, without ego to distort the purity of the art. We become, as Wordsworth says “a heart that watches and receives.”

The process of creativity in whatever form draws on the qualities of the Swadisthan Chakra. If this process is accomplished in a balanced state (i.e. using the energies of the central or Sushumna channel in the subtle system) then the result is spiritually enhanced, we can say that it had “heart”. After realization this is emphasized, and the resulting creation can become an inspired work. We can see this by looking at the classic works from artists of the past such as Mozart and Michelangelo who were born as evolved realized souls. Works of this quality are immortal, and provide joy and beauty that define the whole epoch.

However in the modern process, we can see that even where the artistic endeavor starts out “with heart”, there is a tendency for the artist to produce later works which are flat, lifeless
or even exploitative. The primary cause of this tendency is the ego of the artist. As the artist becomes more successful, he or she works harder to maintain or grow this success. This requires more exhaustive use of the right channel (the Pingala Nadhi or Channel of Action). A by-product of this channel becoming exhausted is that the ego of the artist becomes inflated. Note that in subtle terms the ego is actually situated at the end of the action channel (in the balloon-like shape on the left hand side of the head). As the artist starts to believe that he is the creator of all his works (thus eliminating divine inspiration) the process is accelerated and the ego expands
to such an extent that the spiritual content of these works is removed completely.

The Spirit which resides in our heart is the real reservoir of creativity, and artists and people who think excessively or are obsessed with fame or success will usually suffer a weak
Swadisthan Chakra and tend to be off balance personalities. Their ambition to be superior to others or to be acclaimed by them for their talents comes from their ego, which is connected
to the right side of the Swadisthan Chakra through the right channel. Their spontaneity is lost in this ambitious and competitive effort to create, and this explains why most modern creation in any aspect lacks Vitality, lacks Spirit, lack Heart.


TRADITION

The presiding deity (or role model) for the Swadisthan Chakra is Shri Brahmadeva. He represents the ultimate Creator, and has as his power Shri Saraswati, who is the Goddess of music and arts.


GROSS PHYSICAL ASPECT

The most important function of this center is that it breaks down fat particles in the abdomen to replace the grey and white cells in the brain, and so generates the energy which fuels our thinking. Excessive thinking and planning overworks this process and exhausts this center. The Swadisthan also looks after the liver (along with the Nabhi Center). If the Chakra is having to cope with excessive thinking, then the other organs it is supposed to look after are neglected. The liver is particularly susceptible to this neglect. Problems here are indicated by tingling in the thumb and middle finger of the right hand, or by prickling sensations in the hands. The liver has a particular importance in that it is the seat of our Attention (chitta). Attention should not be confused with thought, which comes from ego (our I-ness) and superego (our past conditionings and upbringing). Attention is pure concentration minus thought/mental activity. For example when we look at the flower we put our attention on it (i.e. observe it). However we will also think about it (“that’s pretty I wonder what it is called” etc.) Attention has no associated thoughts –
it is pure concentration/observation/witnessing. A balanced liver sustains and nourishes our Attention and filters it by scanning out any impurities and external clutter. From this purified Attention comes the peace and stillness that we obtain in our meditation. The liver is susceptible to overheating (via alcohol or other stimulants) which has a detrimental effect on our Attention,
which ultimately weakens our meditations and so on.


CONDITION OF THE SWADISTHAN

A weakened Swadisthan may show up in a number of ways: diabetes, heart disease and associated problems, difficulty meditating, irritability. Interest in spiritualism and occult practices will also have a detrimental effect on this center. If we delve into these realms we lead the Attention into the collective subconscious areas, and we leave ourselves open to increased
lethargy, and maybe even hallucinations and increased overall negativity.
