KUNDALINI YOGA - MASTERING YOUR FIVE TATTVAS



The tattvas are associated with the chakras, but only the first Five. The Sixth, Seventh and Eighth chakras are beyond the elements. These upper chakras are associated with the quality of light.
The Tattvas are the densest form of Maya. They produce the illusion of separation, or, in Western terms, duality.
Each tattva projects Maya in a specific way which leads to suffering. Since tattvas are the elements you are comprised of, you cannot get rid of their projections. However, you can re-direct those projections in an uplifting way. This may not be as easy to do as it it is to say, but it can be done.

MEDITATION TO COMMAND YOUR FIVE TATTVAS
Mantra:  "Aap Sahaaee Hoaa"

This mantra from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh scriptures) is a gift to you that will let you penetrate into the unknown without fear.  It will give you protection and mental balance.


Begin by tuning inSit very straight in easy pose with gyan mudra and listen to a recording of these mantras.


(Mantras:  Om Namo Guru Dev Namo; Aad Guray Nameh )




Here, Guru Ganesha Singh teaches the standard practice versions of both mantra Ong Namo and Aad Guray Nameh. This makes it easy to incorporate Guru Singh's lesson as the beginning to any Kundalini Yoga kriyas (sets of yoga/mantra performed for specific purposes). 


(There are longer applications for these two mantras, which are Yoga exercises each in and of themselves.  But, that's for another blog.)


Next, chant the mantra Aap Sahaae Hoaa:


Aap sahaaee hoaa
Sachay daa sachaa doaa
Har, har, har

The Lord Himself has become our protector,
The Truest of the True has taken care of us.
God, God, God

When you hear the word Har, pull the navel point in.  For the three words of Har, your breath will become a 3-stroke breath of fire.  Then suspend the breath out as you keep the navel point pulled in and listen to the rest of the mantra.  Just before the Har sounds come again, inhale quickly and repeat the breath stroke cycle again.


To use the Naad (sound current) and imprint your mind, do this meditation each day for 62 minutes.  Do it for 90 days.  Then you will know the practical experience and power and miracle of the spoken word.


It is very simple and rhythmic.  If you do it very nobly it will be extremely helpful.  Whenever you are effective and create a success in your life, you also must generate some opposition and animosity.  That is called the Law of Polarity.  It is called facing a square in your life.  This meditation will totally eliminate enemies and block the impact of animosity forever.  It can give you mental self-control and let you command your five tattva for effective living.


Sat Nam!
