Satguru's Recent Upadesha
Last Sun One (March 28th) Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanwami gave this wonderful upadesha following the weekly homa.
Activating Kundalini; Patanjali's Kriya Yoga
Unless kundalini is active, the deepest meditative states are not available to us. But to activate kundalini, Gurudeva tells us we must invoke the grace of Lord Ganesha and Lord Murugan. "Yoga is internalized worship which leads to union with God." Experience the inside of you in a profound way. This requires dispassion. The popular term "kriya yoga" usually refers to a form of pranayama, but the original kriya yoga is defined by Sage Patanajli as the practice of three of the niyamas: tapas, svadhyaya and Isvarapranidhana. To achieve samadhi we practice yoga, steady restraint of mental activities, austerity, meditation, detachment, self study and worship of God. Communion with the Ishta Devata, one's chosen Deity is a key.

Jai Jai Shree Maha Ganesh!
Aum Namasivaya!
Thank you Satguru. Ten days ago I was trying to explain to my sister in Toronto about activating Kundalini but my explanation lacked clarity. Your timely Upadesha is useful for both of us .
