Cannabis or Indian hemp does not help kundalini

Cannabis or Indian hemp does not help Kundalini.
In fact, cannabis or drugs cannot awaken the Kundalini, but they can do us a lot of harm.

Most of us know the common, so-called domestic hemp – the plant once cultivated in Europe for its fibers, but also for the seeds –
Cannabis sativa
. It has special properties and we can talk about it as
the astounding divine gift of abundance and health
.

A completely different approach

it is necessary when evaluating the properties of another plant, called
Cannabis indicum (the so-called marihuana)
, related to the common hemp. Indian hemp it grows spontaneously and everywhere in India, as nettle grows in Romania.
We are very firm against using Indian hemp for psychedelic effects in yoga. We emphasize that all authentic masters have warned practitioners against the prohibition of using the indicum variety for effects on the human psyche in yoga.
More and more people are asking me if it’s okay to use soft drugs, such as Cannabis indicum or marijuana for deep meditations and Kundalini awakening.

Why is it not good?

Because:

– it is not necessary – deep meditative states can be obtained perfectly through methods that do not resort to such a thing and kundalini awakening is already proved that it occurs efficiently, spiritually and without dangers through Abheda Yoga

– there are also undesirable and even dangerous side effects

– it is possible to have a pleasant state but also an unpleasant state depending on our auric predominance at that moment

– it is possible to “catch foreign postures“, that is, to enter into communion with entities or lower astral worlds, to develop a demoniac or satanic inner state

– proximity to this circuit of drugs is illegal and punishable by imprisonment

– some can generate addiction or depression, decreasing the achieving power, reducing us to the level of human “vegetable”.

An excerpt translated by us (sorry for some clumsiness) from the work

“Teachings of Swami Satyananda” :

“In the tantre many methods are recommended for the awakening of kundalini.
One of them is based on plants. However, this does not mean the use of drugs.
The word used in the texts is “
aushadi
“, which is translated as “plant” (medicinal).
In the vedas and in the history of India and the Aryans you can find some connections related to something called soma.
People used to extract the juice of a certain hanging plant called soma and ingest it in order to induce certain spiritual experiences.
The plant was picked only on certain days during the dark chenzin of the month; then it was put in a clay pitcher and buried in the ground until the full moon period.
By the full moon, the dish was unearthed and the juice drank. This provided visions and certain enlightened consciousness-awakening experiences.
Similar to soma there are still some known plants in India.
Over time, they were inappropriately used by people, who were not prepared to use them properly.
To eradicate this danger, the knowledge of aushadhi was withdrawn. Today we still know about certain herbs that certainly have effects in expanding the mind.
However, we do not spread this knowledge because doing so is forbidden [by authentic masters].
Many people are fascinated to achieve kundalini awakening. But man is not (usually) sufficiently prepared and controlled mentally, emotionally, physically and nervously to achieve this.
If he uses drugs, his kundalini may be “shaken” and he may suddenly rise. But if his mind and emotions do not cooperate with him, he may have a painful experience.
Traditionally, the knowledge of “aushadi” has been achieved from guru to disciple. Today, however, I do not hand over this information even to the closest Sannyasini disciples.
Sometime, when humanity changes and we observe better behavior on an emotional, intellectual, physical, and mental level, then this science may be revealed again.
Because of my concern about drugs, I heard and read a lot about them. The only contact I ever had with drugs was marijuana.
I didn’t take it to awaken my kundalini energy, because I firmly believed and believe that neither marijuana nor anything like that can awaken kundalini.
However, I had a reason when I took marijuana or ganja.
At that time I was not in Rishikesh in my master’s ashram.
I lived in the Gangotri, 10,000 feet above sea level, where the Ganges springs. Here it snows almost nine months a year and the water is frozen.
I lived in that place for nine months and every day I smoked ganja and practiced pranayama for 7 to 9 hours a day because it was very cold.
After this, I caught a very cold and had to come down from the mountain because I only had money and the room where I lived was cold and wet.
When I finally got downstairs, it was established that I had tuberculosis. Over time I have treated myself with natural means. Due to the use of marijuana, however, I lost one of the most special gifts that nature had endowed me with.
Natively, I had the most faithful photographic memory and I was very proud of it. With my eyes closed, I could see passages from books in the same way I would have read them with my eyes open.
If someone had read me a text in English or Hindi for 55 minutes, I could remember every word, accent, semicolon.
I could even reproduce the text on the typewriter.
This memory was superior and it is fantastic to be able to reproduce an entire conversation, even mentioning the laughter or accents in parentheses.
Thanks to this memory I was able to learn a lot from ancient texts.

After my experience with marijuana I completely lost this photographic memory. That’s why, personally, I don’t have a good opinion about drug use.
The Sannias, Sadhus, and Fakhir of India take ganja from time to time. They put it in a pipe and smoke it.
They observed that by using ganja, sexual desire is eradicated, sublimated, or disintegrated.
Even householders use ganja for this. I am also convinced that ganja has many medicinal properties and can improve certain aspects of health.
However, I assure you that it is pointless to use this drug to awaken your kundalini.

Kundalini is an unconscious force and only those methods that reach deep into the unconscious can be used.

Soma can develop experiences related to the subconscious and can release a number of archetypes from man, but I don’t think soma can awaken kundalini.
Let’s say you have a bomb. You can’t make it explode until you detonate it.
There was a particular method to detonate a bomb; It is a science. It is also used in cartridges and bullets.
If you throw a bullet in the air, nothing happens. Something happens only when a particular process is engaged and the bullet is detonated and ignited.
Similarly, the awakening of kundalini cannot be achieved with drugs, because they cannot “detonate” it (initiation).
Kundalini lies dormant in the unconscious states of the mind and drugs can only penetrate the layers of the subconscious.
Whatever is in the subconscious mind, it can come to the surface whether it is archetypes, visions, knowledge, telepathy or anything else.
Therefore, one needs the ability to be able to immerse oneself in the unconscious layers of the mind in order to awaken one’s kundalini.”
However, we will learn precious things about common hemp and its age on Earth, but also about the miraculous properties of hemp in the articles dedicated to the Cannabis sativa subspecies.
