Debu Chaudhuri, Ajit kadkade and many others say that they have achieved their proficiency by Her blessings. Many painters and architects have also been guided by Her." http://www.sahajayoga.org/questionsandanswers/ Sarod, the instrument of the Agnya chakra, is an Indian classical musical instrument. It is similar to the Western lute in structure. In terms of prominence and popularity amongst connoisseurs of Hindustani classical music, it occupies a position second only to that of the sitar. Ustad Amjad Ali Khan is a highly acclaimed Indian sarod player and composer. He developed a unique style of playing the sarod. The key innovations in his style are compositions based on vocal music, the technical ability to play highly complex phrases on the sarod spanning three octaves with equal emphasis on the composition. http://www.sahajayogaportal.org/en/music-arts/indian-classical-music/instruments.html Agyna Chakra (Sahaja Yoga) http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL624962544CC96A1D "Firstly what happens to you is that when the Kundalini passes through your Agyna chakra then you become thoughtlessly aware. If you see all the sciences they have created about religion, talks and the whole thing, it's just mental. It's not inside, it's not innate, built within. So one thought rises, another thought falls. Another thought rises and falls down, some come from the future, some come from the past, and we are jumping on the cusp of these thoughts. But if you say now, this is the present, stop your mind at the stop, the point which is the present, you can't, you just can't do it. Between these thoughts there is a gap. This gap is the present, but it's so small, it's so small that you cannot find it. But when the Kundalini passes through, then this center, then these two institutions as you see them, the conditioning and the ego are just sucked in. As a result you become thoughtlessly aware. Means there is no thought. But you are absolutely aware, very much more aware. For example if you look at this beautiful hall with the thoughtless awareness, then the whole picture becomes clear like a photo in your mind, whole thing is stored up into every detail so clearly because present is the truth, past is finished and future doesn't exist." (Shri Mataji Sydney Feb 28 1992) Void Bhavasagara (Ocean of Illusion) http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL252870B3BDC19DD4 (playlist) Surrounding the second and the third chakra is the Void which stands for the principle of mastery (guru principle) within us. In many spiritual traditions, this area is the "ocean of illusions" that needs to be crossed with the help of a spiritual guide. When the Kundalini is awakened and passes through the Void, this principle of mastery is established within us. Thus in Sahaja Yoga you become your own guru, your own spiritual guide since you can feel on your fingertips all your subtle problems and have the power to cure them using your own Kundalini.
