Namaste Dylan. Thank you so much for shedding light on the complex matters and distilling them enough that I can start inching towards deeper understanding. It always takes me some days and multiple readings to begin taking in stuff when it begins getting abstruse, but it’s very satisfying whenever one gets an inkling of new understanding in this realm. If I may, some follow up questions: 1. When you say that Kuṇḍalinī becomes “enfolded in the womb of desire” in the Sahasrāra, could that be understood as the return of the initial impulse of creation back into its own source? Like the arrow of desire completing a full arc and dissolving into stillness? 2. I’m curious about the phrase “Her essence is inseparable from its utterance.” Is this pointing to the idea that the sound of the bīja doesn’t just represent Her but is Her in some way? How literal should I be taking that? 3. You mentioned the Liṅga of Touch as “consciousness laying hold of its essential nature.” That seems incredibly precise. Is that moment of contact between attention and the Yoni what actually awakens Kuṇḍalinī, or is the desire itself already Her stirring? 4. “throwing the universe into turmoil” is very vivid indeed. This or very similar phrasing appears with a bit of frequency in the Śakta corpus of scriptures, no? Can that be understood as a poetic way of describing the shockwave of realization once this union happens? Or is it something more structural, like a reorganization of the energies that make up perception itself? At very vast scales, could it ever imply editing the source code of the universe, ie altering fundamental constants or changing seemingly “past” events? Please let me know if I’ve totally misread anything. If it’s alright, I’d like to bring more questions once further layers of my confusion clear up. very, very tangentially, some years back I was looking into some yantra + mantra construction, iirc derived from Soundarya Lahari, which was indicated at face level to treat certain pathogenic diseases. I can’t recall the verse or the interesting shapes of this simple yantra. Anyway, I was curious if one can safely assume there be some deeper meanings and uses for such a device, and if those may retain qualities from the gross level of meaning.

Thank you for thoughtfully and eloquently sharing so much Agni Ji. It has been a lot to process, and surely those who have read have a lot of contemplation and meditation to do, to properly consider and digest what you have revealed. Please forgive the small- or close-minded levels of some of us, myself included. you are elevating us greatly, even if we do not yet realize it. I would ask you more questions but there are some replies to you which are very silly and infantile, and it makes me sad to see such a low level of consciousness on a discussion forum that has been lately so vaunted by the words you and Shri Tivra have posted. Thank you so much for your services to this world. Wishing you all the best!

Namaste Omid. This felt brilliant to read! What might the impact on a soul be when it has had the experience of being temporally restricted, then returned to a state beyond such confines? Is it plausible that one may retain a sense of the restriction in such a manner that they are still effected by the experience after the bounds of linear time no longer persist?

I may be very late for asking but I want to know more about this nabhi vidya

Very interesting explanation! I guess, it is a kind of burden (on the enlightened souls).

My understanding is that once you enter the temporal stream as a physical body, whether a saint or avatar or anything at all, then you gain a viewpoint of that temporal experience, even if you also can hold the subjective expression or feeling or experience of the eternal. As a result, if you plant a seed that you know exactly, without fail, will one day in say for example 10,000 years will grow into a perfect tree, still you feel the temporal restriction and have a feeling that you'd like to see the tree standing there now, not just know it will be there in 10,000 years time. This comes from the residue of the very experience of temporality. If you knew also, for example, that if 100,000 people would come and water the seed now, that it would then grow in 1,000 years instead, but you see that the people won't come, that they aren't ready, the same effect of quality of feeling due to temporal restriction. To my understanding it is something like this. Inherent in the experience of time is a certain qualitative feeling of restriction from within that embodied viewpoint, such that even a perfect being cannot escape feeling the restriction from within time.

All in all, Jesus and Vallalar both not managed to build kingdom of God in the planet and were bitterly disenchanted with people in the end... WHY? , ask you, the reverent Gurus, please answer!

Please study this article. https://srath.com/spirituality/spirituality-in-jyotish/ Each Devata has an energy and Ishta Devata is the energy that resonates with your soul which can lead to Mukti. But people simply find it difficult to feel these energies and they were offered dhyana on the image of a certain deity. Benefic planets (grahas) represent good gods and malefic planets like Rahu, Saturn (Shani), Mars (Mangal), Sun (Surya) and Ketu. There are tantric goddesses of 10 Mahavidyas which are related to a particular graha. But this is elementary school.
