Worldwide Kundalini

Join countless yogis this Sunday morning for a "trial" exploration in awakening Prana Shakti (the energy that drives the universe).

India, from time immemorial, has considered our world
as one nation, with Prana Shakti/Universal Life Energy
as the common basis for all human beings. P. P.
Narayankaka Maharaj intends to demonstrate our
Universal Brotherhood through this Global Trial of
Mahayoga Shaktipat.

P. P. Shri Narayankaka Dhekane Maharaj (Kaka Maharaj)
is a leading teacher and proponent of Mahayoga
(Siddhayoga) , a centuries-old tradition of
spiritualism and Yoga that guides its followers to
spiritual self-realization, while continuing to live
productive lives in society. He is the only living
disciple of P. P. Shri Loknath Tirth Swami Maharaj,
who initiated other leading 20th century luminaries of
Siddha Yoga, including P. P. Shri Gulvani Maharaj.

Param Pujya Shri Narayankaka Dhekane Maharaj would
like to invite everyone on this earth to participate
in a Global Introductory Trial of Mahayoga Shaktipat
(Siddhayoga) for the uplift of all humankind. This
introductory trial will be held on February 10th,
2008, from 6:11 am to 6:32 am local time. Those
interested can participate during that time at no cost
from the privacy of their own homes. All are eligible
to participate in this trial regardless of religion,
race, sex, age, caste or creed. This world-wide trial
can be considered to be a "trailer" or a precursor for
the awakening of one's Kundalini Shakti (Universal
Life Energy) through Shaktipat (transfer of Energy)
from a Siddha Yoga Master. It is a rare opportunity
to experience first-hand such a transmission of Energy
from a Siddha Guru.

Here's how to participate:

At the designated time (February 10th, 2008 from 6:11
am to 6:32 am local time) sit comfortably with your
eyes closed in a quiet location in your home.
Instantly observe a wave of energy along your spinal
column.
Relax your body completely in order to minimize the
awareness of your body.
Let your mind observe your involuntary breathing. Observe your experiences during the designated time interval and please report them by e-mail to P. P. Narayankaka Maharaj at (mahayoga_kaka@yahoo.com).

Happy New Year

And although I feel time is this flowing entity that we can not contain, nor even try to divide up into these things we call days, weeks, months, years...but our minds need these symbolic events, such as the turn of a new year. And the sense of hope and the belief of a clean slate.

However since finding yoga, I am impressed with an awareness that each passing second is the same opportunity. And not getting hung up on just one chance, every January 1, to make things "better" or "right" in my life. That chance is there always. So at the very least, I find solice in that and keep on breathing. Yet I make those resolutions every year anyway!

Reprieve

There have been so many changes going on in my life lately. Namely I have returned to my science career in the realm of academia, a major goal on its way to fulfillment. I am loving this new environment as opposed to the corporate world of which I am much too familiar. Then as things would have it, in the very same week I began my new job, I was appointed yoga therapist for a local private hospital! So my plate is full, my cup is running over....and it's a wonderful thing.

So it is in light of these new developments that I have decided to place teaching group classes on hold. I will continue to write Om Page, teach my private students, and keep up with my own yoga practice! With these holidays rushing towards us, it seems like the perfect time to transition back to student mode and rebalance the equation of my day-to-day existence. I hope everyone keeps their center and maintains peace in this hectic time of year. See you!
