Bhagavan Kalki and his wife Amma are current teachers from southern India who have trained people to offer Diksha. Diksha is most simply put, a teacher putting his hands on the head of someone for a minute or so, and the student receives grace. My first experience of it was that it was pleasant, and since then each experience becomes more and more profound. Pure awareness becomes predominant and while the mind is there (or not), it is not running the show and the identity is not with the mind. Chakras become very enlivened, can be quite ecstatic, and pure consciousness is felt very concretely in the body. Very powerful experiences of the Divine are enlivened. They are the kind of experiences that I have had with the TM program on long courses; they are all experiences consistant with expansion of Self. The Diksha giver is simply a channel for enlivening wholeness.
Bhagavan and Amma have taught many Indians, and in the past decade have started teaching westerners as well. They have a 21 day course where people can go after which they can offer Diksha. Check out www.livinginjoy.com if you want to read people's experiences. It seems clear that many people are getting enlightened and the time it takes is not very long. The first westerner who met Bhagavan about 10 years ago says he was in the witness state for quite awhile (as a result of Bhagavan), and when he received his first Diksha about 2 years ago (Diksha just started being offered 2 years ago), he reached the oneness state (our unity) after 4 Dikshas. There have been a few who were enlightened after one Diksha they say. Bhagavan is not looking to be people's guru and does not have alot of teachings. Mainly he wants to offer Diksha, & bring people to enlightenment. He says for people to continue with their own religion and teachings. The TM folks I know who are receiving Diksha are having fabulous experiences. I originally went to a Diksha meeting because I heard they could help heal physical aches and pains, and it definately does have a good effect on the body. It really accelerates experience of pure consciousness/the Divine, for me. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > on 9/2/05 6:14 PM, shempmcgurk at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > 1) What or who is Kalki? > > http://www.experiencefestival.com/kalki > > > > 2) Where and what is "Maharishi's Ashram"? > > Vlodrop > > > > 3) What is "PK"?
