“Question: Are you from Naga Sampradaya?”

Question: Are you from Naga Sampradaya?

Swamiji: I am also from, I’m from Naga Sampradaya.

Naga Sampradaya means, he says he’s asking the question: “Can you explain Naga Sampradaya?”

Naga Sampradaya means the Sanyasis who are from Shankara Parampara, Shankara's Parampara who accept the sky as the cloth and whatever comes in their way as their food. And it's a initiated into Paramahamsa order. I think day before yesterday I was explaining; they will wear the cloth only when they come inside the city to teach. If I am not inside the city, if I am not teaching and the sky is the dress, means living with nature. It’s a traditional way of living and we are supposed to eat whatever comes in our way.

That rules belongs to all the Sanyas Parampara like carrying the stick and all does not apply to us. As I said that avadhoota and Paramahamsas, it does not apply. It’s a tradition created to keep the enlightenment science alive. We are supposed to dedicate our time to practice and preach the Enlightenment science. There are like this few restrictions and few understandings. That's all.

This time all the thirteen will be taking bath. That is the traditional right. Last time they allowed Me. In that thirteen, nobody else has created an organisation, created a Sangha. It's like a understanding between the thirteen. Totally there are 30,000 Mahamandaleshwars and 300 Akhadas. Akhada means group, the organisation. So the first leading organisation is the Nirvani Akhada, which is our organisation, which we belong to. It is the leading organisation. It has only one-three Mahamandaleshwars.

In this organisation they have lot of restrictions. If to ordain somebody as Mahamandaleshwar. Somebody asked the question, how the Mahamandaleshwar is being ordained and all that. Who put the question? How the titles are given.

[03:04] They have their own screening method. They should have had this kind of experiences. They should have initiated this many number of Sadhus and they should have written this many number of books and they go through their, some of their, they have their own calculations. Then they ordain.

Again a few questions on what is meant by Mahamandaleshwar. It is nothing. It is a traditional title given, honour given to somebody to recognise their contribution.

Question: “Awakening Kundalini is not good for married couple.”

Swamiji: Don't worry it is good. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong.

Question: “Tea, alcohol, sex should stop, to practice Kundalini.”

Swamiji: Nothing like that. See awakening of kundalini, you may drop alcohol. But other than that, nothing like a tea, coffee, the regular married life, or nothing. It's no way involved in that. So don't worry. Kundalini can be awakened for all the people.

Question: “Is the causal layer linked anyway predominantly to the throat chakra?”

Swamiji: No. It is not linked to the throat chakra. It is beyond the seven chakras.

Question: “What about kirtans?”

Swamiji: Evening Kirtan and all that. All that should be kept alive. All these beautiful things, juicy things should be kept alive. Because you don't give chance to, chance for kids to jump in the temple, they go to the bar and jump. That's all. They drink and jump there. That's the problem. If you give them the space here itself they won't do there.
