Q9. Dear Swamiji, I already follow another master, can I still practise these meditation techniques?
One thing, the practice does not involve the change of Guru. Please be very clear, attending this two-day course does not involve change of Guru. All the masters are the embodiment of same energy. So I never tell the people to change their Gurus. It is the same energy through different channels. People come and ask me Swamiji, can I attend other discourses, can I follow another master as well? Certainly. Its not like I am trying to get you away from someone else's shop and into my own shop. Spirituality cannot be reduced to a business. Whomsoever is your Guru, to whomsoever you are attracted, with whomsoever you fall in tune, he is your Guru. He is your master. Perfectly alright. This will just help you, this will just inspire you. This will awaken you to follow your own master. What I am giving you is only the energy and inspiration, energy and inspiration to flower in your own path, that's all. It does not involve change of Guru or change of faith or change of religion or change of your spiritual system. What you are getting is only the energy and the inspiration.
Of course, 'Kundalini', can be awakened only by the Grace of Guru energy. I don't mean the grace of the Guru, it is the grace of the Guru's energy, Guru Shakti! All the Guru shakti is one and the same. It may differ only in the forms it takes.
Rama and Krishna never had any conflict. But Rama's monkeys and Krishna's cows will be fighting with each other till the very end! So it's only our ignorance that makes us think of the change of Guru and all these words. No, nothing needs to be changed. Only the inspiration and the energy needs to be awakened So attending this two-day course does not involve your change of faith, your change of belief system, change of Guru or change of religion. It involves only the change of personality. Nothing else.
Now I think its time to end. Last question. I will answer this one question, then we will finish.
