eyes again, look here and there, turn to the right and left, then pull the sheet up over her
head and doze. After some time she will again stretch her body and open her eyes, then
doze for a while. Each time she stretches and looks around she says, 'Hmmm'. This is
what happens in kriya yoga awakening.
Sometimes you feel very grand and sometimes you don't feel quite right. Sometimes
you pay too much attention to the things of life and sometimes you think everything is
useless. Sometimes you eat extravagantly and sometimes you don't eat for days together.
Sometimes you have sleepless nights and at other times you do nothing but sleep and
sleep. All these signs of awakening and reversion, awakening and reversion keep coming
every now and then. Kriya yoga does not create an explosive awakening. However, it can
bring visions and other very mild and controllable experiences.
Tantric initiation
This eighth method of awakening kundalini through tantric initiation is a very secret
topic. Only those people who have transcended passions, and who understand the two
principles of nature, Shiva and Shakti, are entitled to this initiation. It is not meant for
those who have urges lurking within them or for those who have a need for physical
contact. With the guidance of a guru, this is the quickest possible way to awaken
kundalini.
There are no extraordinary experiences or feelings and there's no neurosis; everything
seems quite normal, but at the same time, without your knowledge, awakening is taking
place. Transformation takes place and your awareness expands, but you don't know it. In
this particular system, awakening and arriving at sahasrara are the same event. It takes
just three seconds. However, who is qualified for this path? Few people in this world
have completely transcended the sexual urge and overcome their passions.
Shaktipat
The ninth method of awakening is performed by the guru. It is called shaktipat. The
awakening is instant, but it is only a glimpse, not a permanent event. When the guru
creates this awakening you experience samadhi. You can practise all forms of pranayama
and all asanas, mudras and bandhas without having learned them or prepared for them.
All the mantras are revealed to you and you know the scriptures from within. Changes
take place in the physical body in an instant. The skin becomes very soft, the eyes glow
and the body emits a particular aroma which is neither agreeable nor disagreeable.
This shaktipat is conducted in the physical presence or from a distance. It can be
transmitted by touch, by a handkerchief, a mala, a flower, a fruit or anything edible,
depending on the system the guru has mastered. It can even be transmitted by letter,
telegram or telephone.
It is very difficult to say who is qualified for this awakening. You may have lived the
life of a renunciate for fifty years, but still you may not get it. You may be just an
