Kundalini Initiation

Kundalini Initiation

Kundalini Initiation

Kundalini is a potential horrifying energy that is lied down in each body of humankind since they were born. "Kundalini'' literally means coiling,  like a snake came from the Sanskrit language. Whereas in terminology West, Kundalini was acknowledged as "Fire Serpent” And in yoga Tradition, Kundalini assumed to be very important focus point because the awakening of Kundalini is regarded as one of the roads to join with the Universe and as part of the process of "Spiritual Enlightenment"

The shape of coiling, like a spring (The Kundalini roll) is located in and around the tail bones and generally this horrifying potential energy is still in the condition of "fell asleep" and it’s shape is like a three semicircular. Opened or awakened Kundalini means the commencement of cleaning completely against the Chakra, human body parts and the energy channel/the etheric route of humankind.
Only by the refined Touch of the hands of the True Kundalini Master teacher Mr I Putu Ngurah Ardika (Spiritual Dharma Sastra Foundation) in the forehead of the pupils, They will be given the seed of Kundalini-God. This seed will stimulate the rise of Kundalini from forever sleeping lately. Kundalini Pupils could use and feel of Kundalini Energy in a very short time, immediately after the initiation. The initiation tradition by giving the seed of Kundalini Tuhan is one of the best and safe methods as the beginning technique to understand Kundalini. It also really is suggested to be followed up for those who experienced Kundalini Syndrome resulting from the Kundalini rising spontaneously, and resulting from the wrong-way training of Kundalini.

The aim of Kundalini awakening brought in the expansion that was said as the Universal Awareness, The peaceful light, and the True Love is not a promise in the future but will be the possibility that their characteristics could be gained by us straightaway.

Meditation

Meditation

For hundreds of years ago, wise men and yogis have practiced meditation and extolled the benefits. In today’s hectic world there is no better time to take up meditation.

What is Meditation?
In simple terms, meditation is quietening your mind. If you stop for a moment and watch your thoughts you will notice that you are always thinking. You may be worrying about this and that, planning something, replaying earlier events or conversations. All the time your mind is an incessant chatterbox. With meditation you can clear your mind, quieten and even stop, the chatter - and reap enormous benefits.

Meditation in Bali

Why Meditate?
The benefits of meditation are immense. Practicing meditation regularly has been shown to reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Living a calmer life allows you to live longer and more happily, you look younger than your years, and you are much more able to cope with life’s inevitable setbacks and difficulties.

Meditation has also been shown to increase alpha brainwaves. Alpha brainwaves are the type of brainwaves used in creativity and problem solving. The more you meditate the more creative you will become which could lead to both personal and professional breakthroughs.

How Do You Meditate?
There are tapes and CDs available to help guide you into a meditative state but they are not necessary. All that you need is to find a time and place where you can relax and not be disturbed. The environment should be quiet and comfortable. You can play soothing, quiet music if you wish.

The intention is to relax your mind. One way to do this is to focus on an object or a sound to occupy the mind and stop it chattering on about anything else. Some people who meditate focus on a candle flame or a flower. Or you could close your eyes and focus on a sound in your mind, such as Ah-umm or Ohmm. The most important thing to remember about meditation is not to force anything. Meditation is not concentrating, it’s not forcing, it’s not even trying. Meditation is relaxing and allowing. It is Being.

When Do You Meditate?
You can meditate at any time you choose - morning, noon and night. You can even fit in a session of meditation during your lunch break from work. There are no rules about meditation. See what works for you. And equally, there are no rules about how long you should meditate. If you can only manage five minutes a day you will still feel the benefits after a very short period. Some of the Eastern holy men meditate for hours, or even days, at a time. While their experiences might be more heightened than yours, it really isn’t necessary to meditate for great long periods. Meditation is easy. Meditation is relaxing. And meditation is very good for you - try it and see for yourself.

One of the most famous meditation in Bali is in Spiritual Dharma Sastra Foundation especially in spiritual kundalini with Spiritual Kundalini Guru Mr I Putu Ngurah Ardika & Mrs Ida Ayu Inten Ganetri.

Vegetarians in Spiritual Depth

Vegetarians in Spiritual Depth

Vegetarian diet is good for man to achieve and maintain optimal health. Today has been a lot of ordinary people who made the concept of vegetarianism as a reference of everyday life for health reasons, but not many who understand how the concept of vegetarianism is applied in a spiritual level. Vegetarians in the spiritual concept are defined as not killing (Ahimsa). Man as a creature of reason and reason are not allowed to interrupt, destroy something even more violence against animals with any purpose. Because animals have a spirit in the soul with the image could natural tears and bleeding. In contrast to plants those are categorized as living beings who have spirits but do not have souls.

Basically people do not have canine teeth and short intestines as well as carnivorous animals, and then humans actually created God only to consume vegetables. In the vegetable contains a variety of nutrients. By consuming vegetarian foods we will get peace of mind. If we take the example of meat-eating animal like a tiger or a crocodile, animal what people were eating and how his character, attack, capture and kill the enemy. In contrast to horses, elephants, cows, etc. what they eat? can be concluded that the pattern of food to create a pattern of characters and patterns of thought. If we can be a vegetarian, we will experience peace, we always get a blessing from God, more respectful of ourselves and most importantly we do not threaten the survival of animals.

How does the food we eat so we thought, "You are what you eat" A food pattern is a pattern of characters. Humans who do not like killing animal’s character softer, more peaceful, more embracing, more radiate love and the characteristics of other peace

Vegetarians in the spiritual level are not meant to kill and destroy an animal's survival. The concept of a vegetarian in a spiritual context divided in two levels of mental level and the level of thinking. Mental defined as the nature and an attitude held by a man while thought is interpreted as an underlying character of a man. Between mental and thought must be complementary to each other. The better we are undergoing the concept of vegetarianism (Ahimsa) is the good karma we get.

According to Mr. Putu Ngurah Ardika True Teacher of Kundalini in his book Way of Generating Ahimsa Love and Wisdom says that a vegetarian is a choice based on the ability of conscience. Mr. Ngurah did not force students to choose a vegetarian. Only for those who want a better vegetarian be done in stages. In kundalini spiritual teaching that you will provide guidance automatically. For mature kundalini will provide guidance to not eat meat, just need to be trained little by little.

Vegetarian spiritually very profitable, but clean living a vegetarian without violence. God provides not only the doctrine should not kill people but not kill all living things. God created animals to accompany humans, God gave the holy guidance, take care of him, do not hurt him.

A vegetarian is not only required to not kill but more than that is not to say rude, do not do evil, no evil thought. All of this is mean of ahimsa. There are important things why we agreed to live a vegetarian life choice. Do not we want freedom from the inner burden of our sins. Clearly one of the requirements for achieving the perfect life of achieving freedom or immortality is brought compassion, love and wisdom.

Many people want to have the inner ability, such as knowing something will happen, see things hidden, seen or unseen beings see a picture of the future. They want to learn how do to these capabilities can be controlled.

The children have mental abilities better than adults in general. This is because the kids have not negatively affected by a growing view in the community about people with psychic or paranormal abilities. The level of trust the children to the feelings and intuition is very large, so they often know people who intend to be mean or feel the occurrence of something unexpected.

Some people are given the excess capacity is maintained until the inner adult. If you are experiencing signs mentioned below, means you have a positive mental ability, and should continue to develop so useful for your life.

Kundalini Sakti Deepening Meditation

Kundalini Sakti Deepening Meditation

On 18 October 2009 at the Matahari Ballroom Hotel Nikki Denpasar, Spiritual Dharma Sastra Foundation under the tutelage of Kundalini Spiritual Teacher I Putu Ngurah Ardika, S.sn, and Ida Ayu Inten Ganetri, S.H., hold a meditation with the deepening of the kundalini sakti or superior. Before the meditation together, in the morning 06.00 - 08.00 wita event purification held together in Merta Sari Beach, Sanur. This meditation training began in the hours 12:00 to 17:00 wita and followed by around 200 of the kundalini students both new and old because it could be followed by all students either beginners or kundalini senior


On that occasion, Mr. Ngurah Ardika said that the kundalini sakti / superior energy extraordinary and in view of this powerful spiritual kundalini is based on the tail bone with the sun and moon decorated. Kundalini sakti / Superior has several stages of the generation stage I called kundalini sakti, kundalini Phase II is a super powerful and Phase III is the stage of super-cosmic. If all of this will be raised to glory and fame effects in people. Because once stood will radiate an aura of luck with the corresponding perfect that would be full of charisma and authority. In addition, kundalini sakti also serves to clean the layers of the body and for physical and spiritual healing.

With the rise of kundalini sakti / superior is someone will be able to treat themselves, family and others and most importantly can be used for cleaning the layers of the body which is actually a sin and our karma, both from the past, present and future.

Besides deepening exercise kundalini sakti, also provided training and Agni Sakti and Dragon Wisesa. According to Pak Ngurah Wisesa Dragon is located in the mind that serves to inhibit the divine energy into us, so if this Wisesa Dragon issued the holy divine energy will flow freely and perfectly. Having issued this Wisesa Dragon can stay in the neck or the waist and will serve as a weapon by the name of the Dragon Nenggala that can be used to protect themselves and families.

Meditasi Perdana di GOR Lila Buana

Pada tanggal 28 April 2009 meditasi rutin yang biasa dilaksanakan pada hari Selasa yang biasanya bertempat di Yayasan Spiritual Dharma Sastra dipindah ke Gedung Olah Raga Lila Buana di Jalan Melati Denpasar. Suasana GOR memang lebih nyaman rasanya namun sayang suara speakernya masih agak pecah dan bergema sehingga terdengar agak mengganggu tapi itu semua tidak mengurangi antusias para murid Spiritual Kundalini untuk melaksanakan meditasi di bawah bimbingan langsung Bapak Ngurah Ardika dan Ibu Dayu Inten Ganetri. Meditasi dimulai dari jam 20.00 wita dan berakhir sekitar jam 22.00 wita

Pesraman Semanik

Menyadari kompleknya kebutuhan kehidupan duniawi, materi dan rohani Yayasan Spiritual Dharma Sastra, sebuah yayasan yang mengenalkan tentang ajaran Spiritual Kundalini mendirikan sebuah Pesraman Hindu yang bertempat di bawah kaki gunung Pucak Mangu di Banjar Semanik, Desa Plaga, Petang Badung dengan rencana kawasan kurang lebih 30 hektar yang mulai didirikan sekitar bulan Pebruari 2008.

Pesraman ini sebagai ide dari Guru Sejati Kundalini, Bapak Putu Ngurah Ardika yang juga sebagai pendiri dan pembina Yayasan Spiritual Dharma Sastra. Maksud didirikan pesraman ini adalah untuk mencerdaskan kualitas umat Hindu sesuai dengan tuntunan zaman dan globalisasi.

Pesraman ini nantinya akan menjadi media pembelajaran bagi umat Hindu untuk meningkatkan Sumber Daya Manusia Hindu yang tangguh, bermoral, berbakti, cerdas dan bijaksana dalam menyikapi perkembangan zaman dan juga mampu memngemban misi di bidang kemanusiaan, sosial, pendidikan, agama, budaya, adat, ekonomi, pariwisata dan pertanian dalam arti luas untuk mewujudkan kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan umat.

Keadaan sekarang di Pesraman Semanik tengah merampungkan pembangunan tahap pertama berupa Pura Semanik, walaupun belum rampung berbagai aktivitas spiritual sudah dilaksanakan seperti persembahyangan bersama dan penyucian diri (melukat) yang dilaksanakan minimal sebulan sekali.

Spiritual Journey Process of Kundalini

Spiritual Journey process of Kundalini

In real life, someone who pursue the spiritual especially Spiritual Kundalini Bali under the auspices of the Spiritual Dharma Sastra Foundation should always be kept out of desperation.
According to Mrs. Ida Ayu Inten Genitri (Bu Dayu) one of the teachers in the Spiritual Dharma Sastra Foundation should we as students must always be patient and steadfast face various trials of life. The purpose of spiritual teaching kundalini it self is to find inner balance and wisdom that is not swayed against the duality of life, or tidal life.

In general, whatever happens in this life is actually the result of our own karma, whether originating from the birth of present and past, we recall off or not. Therefore, we should rejoice because it is paying off karmic debts and through this spiritual journey, in fact the purification process that occurs will be accelerated and facilitated.
Now depending on the thickness of the inheritance of sin, which brought the karma will determine the degree of quantity and quality of experienced trial. Until one day we will begin to feel true happiness as the scales began to win good karma.

So in the process of spiritual living, in the beginning will happen with the purification process due to all the trials and suffering (grief) will appear alternately. In the end we will enjoy lasting happiness, when we become pure self.
Be patient, because anyone who wants to "level up" the level of spirit should continue to undergo any faced with great balance and a smile

TirtaYatra

Dalam Agama Hindu ada empat jalan untuk mencapai atau menuju Tuhan yaitu yang disebut dengan Catur Marga atau disebut juga Catur Marga Yoga yang terdiri dari :
1.Jnana Yoga yakni cara mencapai atau menyatukan diri dengan Tuhan dengan mengabdikan ilmu pengetahuan untuk kebaikan orang banyak
2.Raja Yoga yakni cara mencapai atau menyatukan diri dengan Tuhan dengan melakukan brata ,tapa, yoga dan semadhi
3.Karma Yoga yakni cara mencapai atau menyatukan diri dengan Tuhan dengan melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan mulia dan bermanfaat tanpa pamrih
4.Bhakti Yoga yakni cara mencapai atau menyatukan diri dengan Tuhan dengan melakukan kebaikan dan sujud bhakti yang tulus dan terus-menerus

Walaupun ada empat cara tetapi tidak ada yang lebih tinggi maupun yang lebih rendah semuanya baik dan utama tergantung pada bakat atau kemampuan masing-masing. Jalan yang satu berhubungan erat dengan yang lainnya, semuanya akan mencapai tujuannya asal dilakukan dengan tulus ikhlas, ketekunan, kesujudan, keteguhan iman dan tanpa pamrih. Tanpa pamrih adalah melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan atas dasar kesucian dengan penuh keikhlasan demi kesejahteraan umum dengan tidak mengharapkan hasilnya untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.
Jika seseorang mempunyai perasaan yang halus dan mempunyai ketekunan dalam memuja Tuhan maka Bhakti Yoga yang patut ditempuh. Perwujudan Bhakti Yoga adalah melakukan yadnya dan pemujaan atau persembahyangana secara tekun dan terus-menerus. Salah satunya adalah melakukan tirtayatra.
Tirtayatra berasal dari bahasa Sansekerta, Tirta dan Yatra. Tirta artinya pemandian, sungai, kesucian, air, toya atau air suci, sungai yang suci. Secara kenyataan pengertian tirta mengarah ke wujud air. Sedangkan Yatra berarti perjalanan suci. Jadi Tirtayatra adalah perjalanan suci untuk mendapatkan atau memperoleh air suci.
Tirtayatra dalam bahasa sehari-hari di Bali dipahami dengan tangkil atau sembahyang ke pura-pura. Tirtayatra tertulis dalam Kitab Sarasamuscaya 279 yaitu keutamaan tirtayatra itu amat suci, lebih utama dari pensucian dengan yadnya, tirtayatra dapat dilakukan oleh orang miskin. Artinya tirtayatra tidak memandang orang dalam status apapun baik kaya atau miskin asal didasarkan melalui pelaksanaan bhakti yang tulus ikhlas, tekun, sungguh-sungguh dan nilai kesucian atau kualitas kesucian tirtayatra lebih utama daripada membuat upacara banten, walaupun upacara itu tingkatannya utama. Hal ini juga sangat sesuai dengan pesan kebenaran yang pernah disampaikan oleh Guru Sejati Kundalini yaitu Bapak I Putu Ngurah Ardika, S.Sn bahwa melakukan perjalanan suci atau matirtayatra lebih utama nilainya daripada melakukan upacara yadnya. Maka dari itu rajin-rajinlah melaksanakan tirtayatra atau menyucikan diri dengan melaksanakan sembahyang, karena sembahyang adalah tuntunan wajib bagi umat manusia, apapun agamanya, keyakinan dan kepercayaannya.

Tirtayatra sebenarnya sudah banyak dilakukan oleh umat sejak dulu, sejalan dengan kemajuan dan meningkatnya kesejahteraan maka tempat suci yang dikunjungi semakin luas. Umat semakin menyadari bahwa tirtayatra adalah sebuah yadnya yang paling mudah dilakukan karena dapat dilakukan oleh siapa saja.
Perjalanan suci atau tirtayatra bukanlah perjalanan biasa untuk bersembahyang, namun didalamnya termuat pengendalian diri dan pengekangan diri. Dalam kegiatan tirtayatra terjadi suatu interaksi yang positif diantara para pelaku tirtayatra. Tirtayatra akan mendekatkan antara umat satu dengan yang umat lainnya karena dalam perjalanan akan terjadi suatu komunikasi sosial, suka duka, canda ria dan interaksi lainnya. Tirtayatra juga mendekatkan antara umat dengan tempat suci atau pura dalam pengertian si pelaku tirtayatra akan mengetahui lebih dekat dan lebih dalam mengenai situasi, lokasi, sejarah serta nilai kesucian dan kebenaran yang terkandung pada tempat suci yang dikunjungi. Tirtayatra juga mendekatkan antara manusia dengan Sang Pencipta melalui pemujaan yang dilakukan di tempat suci yang dikunjungi. Dengan adanya kedekatan-kedekatan tersebut akan semakin menambah kekaguman akan kemahakuasaan Tuhan dan meningkatkan rasa bahkti kehadapan-Nya.
Tirtayatra adalah sebuah kegiatan suci dalam rangka penyucian diri secara lahir bathin, dimana di dalamnya terkandung unsur-unsur seperti :
1.Yatra atau perjalanan suci dalam suasana pengendalian diri, upawasa(puasa), japa (melantunkan mantra tertentu), dalam hal ini adalah proses tapa sebagai sebuah proses Raja Yoga.
2.Pemujaan dengan sujud bhakti dan pemusatan pikiran (Bhakti Yoga) yang apabila dilakukan secara rutin dan tekun akan menghapus kebodohan serta akan memberikan pencerahan yang merupkan proses Jnana Yoga.
3.Parahyangan atau pura atau tempat suci sebagai tempat untuk memuja Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa atau manifestasiNya.
4.Tirta atau air suci sebagai simbul waranugraha dan pancaran sinar suci Tuhan.
5.Dana punia atau pemberian sedekah sebagai ujian atau tapa dalam melepaskan keterikatan jiwa ini dengan benda-benda duniawi.

Sehingga dengan demikian tirtayatra yang dilakukan dengan tekun dan teratur serta sungguh-sungguh dengan penuh kesetiaan, konsentrasi dan kecintaan adalah merupakan pengejawantahan dari Catur Marga. Tirtayatra adalah jalan yang sederhana namun utama. Tirtayatra adalah investasi yang sudah pasti mendapatkan kebaikan.
Tirtayatra akan meningkatkan keyakinan atau srada dari umat terhadap kebenaran dan kemahakuasaan Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Dengan bertirtayatra sebenarnya manusia telah menjaga ketiga aspek keharmonisan hidup di dunia yakni Tri Hita Karana yakni aspek pawongan, palemahan dan parahyangan.
Dengan bertirtayatra mengarahkan badan dan jiwa kepada kesehatan, ketentraman, kedisplinan, kebijaksanaan, keharmonisan, kehormatan, kesucian, kebenaran dan terakhir kemanunggalan dengan Hyang Pencipta. Melalui tirtayatra manusia menuju pada penebusan dosa, pembebasan keterikatan, mencapai hidup yakni Mokshartam Jagadhita ya ca iti Dharma.
Bertirtayatra akan mendapatkan pancaran kesucian pikiran, perkataan dan perbuatan (Tri Kaya Parisudha). Dalam hal ini akan terlatih dalam pengendalian diri dalam kesucian, aura kesucian ini akan terpancar pada orang-orang yang ada di dekatnya, ataupun pada lingkungan tempat mereka tinggal.
Tirtayatra menumbuhkan kepekaan sosial, meningkatkan gairah seni dan keselarasan jiwa. Dengan cara sederhana ini kita memuja mohon restu dan anugrah kesucian. Semakin sering dan tekun dilakukan maka semakin terbuka jalan menuju penyatuan dengan Sang Hyang Sangkan Paraning Dumadi.
Ketika kelak nanti Sang Jiwa telah meninggalkan badan kasar ini maka teman sejati yang akan mengantar adalah subha dan asubha karma atau catatan tentang perbuatan baik dan perbuatan buruk yang dilakukan selama diberi kesempatan di dunia ini. Kebajikan-kebajikan spiritual yang telah diperbuat di dunia ini yang mengantar sang jiwa menuju alam yang lebih mulia dan sebaliknya kegiatan buruk akan mengantar sang jiwa menuju alam yang lebih rendah.
