Swami Muktananda was astrally present this morning during the breath infusion session. He made some remarks. One thing about this Swami is that there were accusations against him about sexual misconduct with some of his female disciples. There is the situation of where people feel that such a guru should no longer teach and has lost his authority due to the moral mishaps.
A serious student should know however that whatever a person knows for sure in yoga practice is known to that person regardless of moral deviations. This does not in any way correct the faults. It is worth the while for the student to study the Bhagavad Gita in terms of learning what karma yoga is, as karmic activities being regulated vigilantly by a student yogi.
If a yogi has meditation skill but has not mastered karma yoga, then he or she will make mistakes. Sometimes there were major screw-ups. If we study that in Arjuna’s case he was a versatile samadhi-accomplished yogi, and then he fell apart and could not determine the right course of action in the social world, then we can understand what happens to these advanced teachers.
Many devotees of Krishna, even lineage teachers do not know that Arjuna was a samadhi yoga-master. This is because that history of Arjuna is not described in the Srimad Bhagavatam. It is in the Mahabharata but many devotees do not take the time to read that. Some of the lineage teachers have never even picked up the Mahabharata and have a low estimation of it.
The point is that one may be a great yogi and still one may not understand one single thing about karma yoga as Krishna taught it to the ancient kings like Manu and which Krishna again reinstated the teaching in Arjuna.
The truth is that mastering yoga does not automatically give one the expertise of applying oneself safely to cultural activities. That is a whole other type of training which Krishna claimed must come from him. Yogis who claim that mastery of meditation automatically implies mastery of social circumstances are contradicting the Bhagavad Gita. Who should one believe, such yogis or Krishna?
Even if one studies the laws of social interactions, and got a keen insight into the operations of fate and as to fate’s probabilities, still one cannot master karma yoga without having some contact with Krishna for approval.
The reason for this is simple: Laws are one thing. The application or interpretation of laws is a separate issue which depends on personal contact. In this case personal means Krishna, who is the superintendent of the Universal Form.
Every country has laws but when one is put against these rules, it is left to a person-judge to interpret these. Hence knowing the law is only part of the equation. One must also correctly guess the interpretation of the specific judge.
Bhishma and Drona were both mahayogins and still they could not correctly deal with the social challenges; at least not in a way that was approved by Krishna. Thus it is hard to swallow that lesser yogis will.
==========================
This morning Swami Muktananda who is a master of kundalini yoga said this:
********************
The subtle body has to change so that the bliss shed no longer heads to the genitals. The natural pull to the genitals of the bliss which is shed by each cell during a sexual climax experience, should be fully absent in the body of a siddha.
There is no siddha status for those whose subtle body still operates in this way. And it has nothing to do with the yogi’s process or religion or whatever. It is a psychic orientation which is required. Who cares how the yogi achieves it? Or through which path he takes to attain it?
Question is:
Does he have the natural sexual orientation? Are the cells in the body still having that tendency to yield up their fragments of bliss energy to the sexual orifices? Well then, if that is the case, regardless of who he is, if he is Advaita or Dvaita, he will have to take rebirth. He will not be a siddha.
Once you get the subtle body to be a siddha body before death, then if you have time, shoot for a Satyaloka-compatible body. Satyaloka is also called Brahmaloka when we want to stress that the Brahma deity supervises that realm. The importance of it is that if one can get the subtle body to be compatible with that, then one has reached the spiritual world (chit akash)
If the yogi only reaches the siddha loka world, then that is a great achievement, especially for those in Kali Yuga but still if you can make that before leaving the body, then do not waste a second, try to go higher.
********************
Now the difference between a yogi who leaves with siddha loka qualification and one who leave with the higher Satyaloka qualification is this:
The siddhaloka qualified yogi will have to pass the Swarga angelic world, and unfortunately he or she might fall into that situation which means that the siddha status will be deactivated immediately. It will then be postponed for the next attainment after getting the next human body. And who knows when that will be?
Once a siddha qualified yogi falls to Swarga, who knows how many millions of human years may go by before he can again get a human material body. And without that he cannot be elevated in fact.
And what will hold him up in the Swarga angelic world of Indira? Well that is easy to answer. It is pleasure, particularly sexual pleasure, romantic stuffs of heavenly delight, and way beyond a human’s wildest dreams.
Those yogis, who gain the Satyaloka status before death, will not be exposed to the Swarga heavenly place, and so they will jump to siddhaloka without seeing any of the delights of the celestial region of India. God Bless Them!
It is in situations like this where someone, even an atheist yogi, thinks of God’s blessings. That is relevant when we consider the probability of success.
==========================
Kundalini shakti is a nuisance. If possible get rid of it. If not, then try to elevate it so that its base interest is suspended for the time being. It is dangerous because it is quite capable of dragging the yogi back into another material body. The very fact that one has a body in the first place, is evidence of the power of this kundalini.
A question may arise as to what to do with the bliss energy which is yielded up by the individual cells of the body. If that bliss energy is no longer used for sexual enjoyments and fulfillment, then what should it be used for. What should the yogi do with the bliss energy which bleeds out in the subtle body during breath infusion kundalini yoga practice?
The answer is simple:
Let the bliss energy express itself into the very same cell which secreted it. There is no need to focus bliss on the sexual orifices. The entire subtle body can be a bliss body.
Break the genital habit. Go to the divine world, where genitals are not stressed, where the entire body is a bliss form of immense potency.
