“Srividhya sadhana – a gateway to the soul”

by Kalyani (India) With the blessings of my Parents, Guru, Lord Shiva and Shakthi, I would like to share my experiences with Srividhya Sadhana.

I came into this path when I happened to know about Siva Yoga‟s website through my friends.

Then, under the continuous guidance and blessings of Sri Premananda, I was able to learn Siva Yoga and continue the practice from then on.

Suddenly, one day I felt strong emotions at the solar plexus area (due to stress). It is just like on the surface…I want to cry out I couldn‟t control my tears…. It is just flowing when I think something… this happened when I was reaching home from office, that is, while travelling…I could not tolerate people who do injustice..I am almost tired of living this life. Then, I sought the help of Sri Premananda to get out of this situation. He then gave me Navakkari Mantra initiation to help me on my journey in this earth. It is a very special gift from Thirumoolarji.

After I got initiated, I was practicing this Navakkari mantra (balancing the nine planets). My entire life has changed since then and more importantly I was able to get out of the situation I mentioned above. People and things seemed to favour me, which helped me to sustain and continue with my life on this earth, without which I am nothing now. It helped me a lot for which I do not have words to explain.

The nature of this world is like a wave. Always ups and downs will be there. We need to learn to lift ourselves during these tough times. We need to learn to focus on the positive side of us, people and world. Remember, your karma, beliefs and feeling attracts the people around you.

Be compassionate to the normal people as they are doing it ignorantly.

Later, I faced a different kind of experience during night. While sleeping, air suddenly rushed into me forcefully. Then the following morning, I was not able to get from the bed. I felt someone sleeping over me holding me tightly. So I tried to overcome that force to relieve myself. That time I saw a white face sleeping over me. Then I chanted “Om Namasivaya” to get out of the trap. I was able to chant only once. Then that face with no hairs on its head left me. Then I was able to get up and do things normally. But I felt the heaviness and burning sensation in my chest for some time. Sri Premananda advised me to use the protection shield and infuse with Divine mother‟s mantra – Om Hreem Om, Navakkari Mantra and the 51 letter mantra of Sivayoga. I thank Divine mother for giving me such a protection from all forms of dangers and attacks. With this protection shield, I don‟t face any of these problems now and my life is going peacefully.

I would like to share some points that I learnt and experienced, which would help in our spiritual evolution.

1. All negative incidents were pre-decided to learn. Learn that even in that negative incident „I can give love‟. Incidents can be changed but it will change when you say „I have learnt a lesson.‟

2.

3.

4.

5.

Never pass judgment nor hold resentment on anyone you come across.

Do not curse anyone for anything. Giving more blessings will create more blessings for the self.

To live in harmony, do not command, do not comment and do not demand.

Let your daily agenda for everyday be to give as love to as many beings as possible; not only family members but other people, animals, plants, etc.

6. Purify the mind (anger, revenge, resentment, ego, etc) first and all unresolved issues. Until this is not purified the soul is not clean.

7. Srividhya is the highest sadhana for eliminating sanchit karmas.

8. You were not born to suffer but you were born to work out (release) your karmas.

9. Take a deep breath, light a lamp and invoke the guru and you will notice it burning differently.

10. When shaktipath is done, it is upon the individual how he takes it. Do not suppress your emotions, let go, but at the same time donâ€&#x;t lose control over the emotions. Donâ€&#x;t encourage those emotions to overtake.

11. If you are persistent in your sadhana and in burning your negative karmas then a day will come when everything suddenly opens up and your path will be clear and quicker. Sometimes people quit when there are just very close to the goal.

Overall, we need to do more and more sadhana to know the answers for all our questions, including who we are and why we are here.
