Shiv Jhawar describes his spiritual journey as beginning on September 16, 1974 with a dramatic Kundalini awakening experience in the physical presence of the holy man Swami Muktananda at Lake Point Tower in Chicago. He describes the awakening in his book ''Building a Noble World'': :''"Suddenly, I felt a great impact of a rising force within me. The intensity of this rising kundalini force was so tremendous that my body lifted up a little and fell flat into the aisle; my eyeglasses flew off. As I lay there with my eyes closed, I could see a continuous fountain of dazzling white lights erupting within me. In brilliance, these lights were brighter than the sun but possessed no heat at all.I was experiencing the thought-free state of 'I am,' realizing that 'I' have always been, and will continue to be, eternal. I was fully conscious and completely aware while I was experiencing the pure 'I am,' a state of supreme bliss.” “Baba (Muktananda ) noticed that the dramatic awakening of kundalini in me frightened some people in the audience. Therefore, he said, ‘Do not be frightened. Sometimes kundalini gets awakened in this way, depending upon a person’s type.'"'' His experience was also covered extensively in the book Rendezvous with God. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shiv R. Jhawar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
