Surf! Surf!! Surf!!!
As soon as I got time, I found myself
searching internet with one single topic in my mind ‘Experiences in
meditation’. I typed different related words in various search engines to
explore a wider circle. After hours and hours of searching, what I got was
irrelevant and junk information only.
After reading a book by Swami Sivananda,
I made a firm decision that I wanted to awaken my Kundalini Energy. I tried a
specific pranayama mentioned there to wake up the sleeping coiled serpent. Less
than 10 times, I performed and I could feel the sensations in my Muladhara
Chakra. Unbelievable but true!
The energy was moving, which I could
feel while doing meditation or just before sleeping. It was behaving as a wild
energy travelling across various body parts with different intensities. It was
driving me crazy! To search out the reason for this bewilderment, I was
searching net as the books I had didn’t contain much information about it.
It was 2013, my search continued until
one day I landed on a site, which explained it so well. According to that,
Kriyas are involuntary body movements, which happen after Kundalini Awakening.
The spontaneous movements are the result of the Prana, the intense energy
moving through 72,000 Nadis cleaning our spiritual and physiological blocks.
They are integral part of Kundalini Yoga and they are different during
different phases of spiritual growth. There are 125,000 types of spiritual
experiences. The sole purpose of these experiences is the cleaning of our
physical and subtle body. In short, we can call them ‘Broom’. (On the same topic, I watched Om Swamiji videos many years later here and here)
On subscribing, I received a newsletter from that site on 25th May, 2013. I wrote back though not sure for a human reply, “Thanks for creating such an informative website for beginners!”
Hurray! I received ‘Thanks’.
Now, I wrote a detailed letter. I
thanked him sincerely for clarifying
my doubts, removing fear of future and showing me the right path. After exchange of few emails, he shared
some useful resources for a seeker who were in search of God Realization.

In
Oct, 2020 there was a Black Lotus Task to express gratitude verbally or through
email. I emailed him.
Thankyou
for introducing Om Swamiji's teachings to me in 2013. I had a personal meeting
with him in Nov, 2018 and June, 2019. He changed my life and helped me in
becoming calmer and kinder. I have subscribed his teaching on os.me and
Black Lotus App. Hope you are good.
He replied, “GREAT! I am happy
about it. Thanks.”
