Q&A#
How can chakras be activated through sadhana and mantras?#
Chakras can be activated through sadhana and mantras by practicing specific techniques and chanting specific mantras that are associated with each chakra. The sadhana involves the unfoldment of petals and the awakening of the chakras, leading to the activation of the nadis, which are energy channels within the astral and causal bodies. Through chanting mantras, the chakras can be activated and the individual can experience spiritual experiences and knowledge. It is important to note that each individual's journey from the root chakra to the third eye is unique, and the activation of chakras involves the straightening of the spine and accessing different dimensions. The process of activating chakras through sadhana and mantras should be done under the guidance of a guru to ensure proper initiation and guidance.
For example, the mantra "Om" is known to have powerful effects on the chakras. Chanting "Om" can remove the fear of death, strengthen the physical body, and have healing effects. The speaker also mentions the mantra "Soham" as a powerful meditation practice followed by Lord Shiva himself, which emphasizes self-identification and being in the present moment. By chanting these mantras and practicing sadhana, one can activate and awaken the chakras, leading to spiritual growth and experiences.
In summary, chakras can be activated through sadhana and mantras by practicing specific techniques, unfolding petals, and awakening the chakras. Chanting specific mantras associated with each chakra can facilitate the activation process. It is important to have proper guidance and initiation from a guru when engaging in these practices.What is the unique journey from the root chakra to the third eye for each individual?#
The unique journey from the root chakra to the third eye is different for each individual and involves the activation of nadis (energy channels) and the straightening of the spine to access different dimensions and experience magic. This journey includes the unfolding of petals and the awakening of spiritual experiences and knowledge through the activation of the chakras. It is through this internal journey that Aghori Sadhus have gained knowledge from different planets.How do Aghori Sadhus gain knowledge of different planets through their internal journey?#

They practice a unique form of spirituality that involves using yantras, which are mystical diagrams, to connect with the divine. Through their intense and secretive practices, they attain a higher level of consciousness and access different dimensions. It is believed that Aghori Sadhus have gained knowledge from different planets through their internal journey. The speaker mentions that Aghori Sadhus have gained knowledge of different planets through their internal journey and their encounters with demons and spiritual experiences. However, further details on the specifics of how they gain this knowledge are not provided in the given document snippets.What is the difference between functioning and non-functioning chakras?#
The difference between functioning and non-functioning chakras lies in their activation and the experiences they enable. Functioning chakras are those that have been activated through sadhana (spiritual practice) and chanting mantras. These activated chakras unfold their petals and awaken spiritual experiences and knowledge. The activation of chakras allows individuals to access different dimensions and magic.
On the other hand, non-functioning chakras have not been properly activated. They may remain dormant or closed, limiting the individual's spiritual growth and experiences. It is through sadhana and proper spiritual practices that chakras can be activated and functioning.What are the potential negative consequences of practicing tantric techniques without knowledge and understanding?#
