''This article concerns the Tirtha lineage of Siddha Yoga. For other uses see Siddha Yoga (disambiguation)'' The Tirtha lineage of Siddhayoga is a mystical sect of Shaivite Hinduism that relies on direct experience of life-force or Kundalini Shakti and understanding of Tantric scriptures (shastras). It holds the guru-disciple relationship to be of primary importance. Shakti is said to be automatically infused into the disciple (shisya) by the Guru〔''"The easy way of attaining it (salvation) is said to be Siddhayoga...Siddhayoga or Siddhimarga is that means by which yoga (union) can be attained without difficulty...Siddhayoga is attained by the infusion of spiritual force through the good grace of a saintly preceptor...Siddhayoga or Siddhimarga is nothing but the knowledge of the unity of Self and Brahma..."''〕 in a process called Shaktipat. (''see also'' Satguru) There are many Siddhayoga lineages and many other groups not using the name that speak in terms of the infusion of kundalini shakti. Some lineages originated from the same source, others are completely unrelated.〔(Siddha Mahayoga FAQ )〕 Siddhayoga is similar to sahajayoga, mahayoga or siddhamahayoga. Similar teachings may be traced back at least to the Tantric masters such as the scholar Abhinavagupta.〔(Siddha Mahayoga FAQ )〕 Shakti is held to be the energy of a universal soul, of which direct experience is available regardless of religion; thus siddhayoga is sometimes considered a universal rather than a strictly Hindu practice. ==Scriptural sources== Siddhayoga aims to uncover an eternal source of abundance for all to share – peace, creativity, spiritual energy and eternal soul. The guru makes this happen for the disciple.〔Swami Sadashiva Tirtha. Founder, Swami Narayan Tirtha Math; Author, ''Bhagavad Gita for Modern Time& ''Ayurveda Encyclopedia''. Personal conversation, 2007〕 Its most important text is the ''Yoga Vani''. The siddhayoga guru prepares the kundalini shakti which automatically gets infused in the disciple at the muladhara chakra, awakening and raising spiritual energy up the Sushumna〔Yoga Vani, 2〕 Swami Muktananda, founder of the modern Siddha Yoga group, recommended the ''Mahayoga Vijnana'', ''Yoga Vani'' and ''Shaktipat'', as well as the ''Shivasutras'', ''Pratyabhijnahridayam'', ''Tantraloka'' and ''Shivadrishti'', saying ''"Mahayoga has a very important place in Shaivite philosophy....one can read what the saints say, in the light of their own experiences, about Shaktipat, the grace of a Siddha, and the dynamic play of Mother Kundalini."'' Various ancient texts discuss this effect of nearness to the guru. The ''Kularnava Tantra''〔quoted in ''Yoga Vani,'' 28〕 has; ''"An intelligent person should regard this teacher as their preceptor by whose contact inexpressible bliss is produced in the disciple."'' and the ''Yoga Vasistha''〔 quoted in ''Yoga Vani'' 27〕 confirms; ''"A real preceptor is one who can produce blissful sensation in the body of the disciple by their sight, touch, or instructions."'' Siddhayoga is said to be an internal transformation, allowing a person to grow more into their nature regardless of their outer path, rites and rituals; what they do and how they do it in the outer world is unique to their own individual path (dharma). One who yearns to connect with their soul or God, who strives for mental peace and harmony with all people, animals, and nature, who tries to live in balance with nature's rhythms and who aims to live purposefully will find these higher desires fulfilled in experiencing of soul and developing of inner divine love. 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「Siddhayoga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
