A few months back, I watched a video on youtube of this master/guru giving a skaktipat initiation with a mantra phrase that was to be repeated after the initiation. I did not think much of it, and thought it was not going to do anything. After watching the video and receiving the mantra, to my utter amazement, I felt like some kind of energy was coursing through my spine. It completely took me by surprise.   On the website of this guru it was stated that after the initiation, the initiate should visualize the guru's picture and chant the mantra silently. On the website it also stated that after you receive initiation, when the kundalini starts to get activated, the body of the initiate may start performing all kinds of yogic postures and breathing exercises in an involuntary fashion. So after I received the initiation, I sat down to meditate and started repeating the mantra, and immediately I felt like my body wanted to move on its own. To my utter amazement and disbelief, my body started to move and perform yogic postures one after the other.   The postures my body was performing were very unique and "clever," - I had never seen them in any book on yoga, and I have read a few. This lasted for about 1 hour straight without stopping. It felt like I was in a meditative state and my body was like a doll being moved into different postures with incredible precision. After this phenomena subsided, I felt very peaceful and centered. It was like a natural high, it was one of the most incredible and amazing things that has happened in my entire life.   It seems that the kundalini/prana shakti knows each person's body and what needs to be done to achieve optimal results.   I have been doing this form of yoga for the past several months now, and over time the exercises have shifted from physical postures, to very heavy breathing exercises. Other movements/routines involve breath retention (pranayama as far as I can tell) with all kinds of abdominal and chin locks, in addition to many mudras (hand gestures) that I have seen in various yogic texts/books. The sheer variety and combinations of these involuntary yogic movements has left me absolutely speechless and in absolute awe. I was a big skeptic of these spiritual masters/gurus, thinking that most of them were despicable charlatans who were mostly exploiting gullible spiritual seekers, but this Guru's initiation has forced me to reconsider my stance.   The guru's name is Guru Siyag. I have pasted the facebook and mantra videos bellow if anyone is interested.   Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/GuruSiyagsYoga   After watching the video, please read the meditation instructions here: http://www.the-comforter.org/How_to_Meditate.html   Mantra Video 1: Mantra Video 2:
