GURU RAKSHATI PARVATI

GURU RAKSHATI PARVATI ….. ||105 || Sri Gurugita :-

Ms. Pallavi Priya from US has written about her journey to Kailash Manasarovara as follows ---

 I hope Param Pujya Gurudev’s health is better. I wanted to convey this message to HIM:

In June, Nilesh and I went to Kailash Manasarovar yatra. This yatra would have been impossible without the grace of Sri Gurudev. It was a very difficult journey. After some time it was very hard to proceed. With every step I remembered Param Pujya Gurudev ji and that’s how I reached the charan of Mount Kailash. I felt that Swamiji guided me all the way through. My namaskar to HIM.

I feel that something has changed inside me after the yatra. It has been almost 2 months now but life hasn’t returned back to normal. I am going to the office, meeting friends etc. but that does not feel very exciting. It seems that there is some other purpose in life but I am not able to figure out what is it.

Then I got an urge to share my feelings with Param Pujya Gurudev. So writing this email to HIM.

After the Shaktipat

* Ashirwad of Guru feeling, mind spontaneously variations, mixed feelings.

* I felt very peaceful and calm. In the end, when I put my hands on my eyes, I saw something dark blue.

* I felt everything got erased from my head, feeling more positive.

* I felt very good and all the negative energy and negative thoughts went away.

* Feeling light. I saw blue-violet light in my third eye.

* Vibrations started in the vishuddhi & I still have a pulling effect in the agya and sahasrar chakra & feeling peace & did not want to open my eyes.

* Nothing much felt little warm.

* I felt calmer than before and enjoyed the chanting.

* Thank you Swamiji. My heartfelt gratitude for this divine experience & your divine blessing. I have no thoughts of the past arising after Deeksha. During the Shaktipat, I could feel the energy rise & heal a blockage between my anahat & manipura. Now I feel more present & aware with more energy.

* I have experienced that something has gone up from my body outside. Some ticking has happened in the whole body.

* Flash of white light and emotional outburst. Very strong desire to liberate.
