Q8. Dear Swamiji, can the hyperactivation of the chakras have any side-effects?
If the chakras are activated by proper methods and proper techniques, it only gives health, never gives side-effects. The techniques which I have designed are fool-proof techniques, with no side-effects. Even if you do it a little wrong, you will not have the full positive effect, that's all. There will be no side-effect, no after-effect. The technique should be proper. If it is proper then these problems don't happen.
Secondly, there is no such thing as 'hyperactive' in the chakras. If a chakra is hyperactive you will only feel the expansion of your consciousness. It will only do more and more good. You will never die falling in Amritasagara (the ocean of nectar). By falling in Amritsagara you will never die. You will become more and more joyful. Just like that the hyperactivity never creates any ill-effect in your system. If the chakra is activated more and more, it creates only the well being, the joyful state, the spiritual experience, and ultimately enlightenment. It never disturbs you. It's only the laziness or non-activeness, the inertness, the 'tamas' of the chakras, which creates the trouble.
