I was in search of a soul who can help me on the path of kundalini mahayoga. In today’s day and age it is very difficult to find a true and sincere help. In my further search I happen to find Madan Yogi. I found him to be very honest, sincere and devoted spiritual mentor. He gave me shaktipat initiation. My experience was subtle but still powerful in its own right. It is not always what happens outside but also what happens inside overtime that counts. I am very grateful to him for his help and continual spiritual guidance. I look forward to learn and grow with him.

I was in keen search of a real path to self realization when i met my Guru/Mentor Shri Deepak Yogi Ji at Hapur. Before that i have tried several kind of meditation and yoga techniques but nothing very fruitful. He initiated me in Kundalini Yoga with Shaktipat Deeksha in May 2004. At that time Kriya Shakti starts working in my body and I felt some current running through my spine and felt tremendous energy in my head, that experience was so nice. After that whenever i sit for meditation Kriyas started them self even just by thinking about Kriya Shakti/Guruji/Spiritual beings. I have got many sittings of Shaktipat which boosted my Kriyas and depth of meditation. I was having chronic backache which was not allowing me to sit longer in straight posture, once my Guruji touched my back during yoga practice and that backache was cured forever. Kriya shakti is always helping and guiding me. We belong to Siddha Lineage of Swami Vishnu Teerthji Maharaj. My Guruji is now brahmaleen, one with the omnipresent consciousness and always guiding all of us through our inner self. He had authorized his elder most disciple Yogi Madan Gautam ji as his successor Guru. Madan Gautam ji is a sincere devotee and practicing Siddha kundalini yoga from last ten years. Yogi Madan Gautam ji is my brother disciple. He has deep affection towards me and all the brother disciples. He is carrying the great work of my Guruji and spreading his message, he is also giving Shaktipat Deeksha to sincere truth seekers. We are sure and it's our wish to god that he will take this torch of Shaktipat kundalini yoga to far above expectations. Guruji and all Siddhas bless all of us. OM

When I received an email from Yogi Gautaum I knew exactly what the reason was. I had been waiting for so long to meet the person who could teach me the things that I need to know about how to raise my kundalini responsibly and properly. I have always been very deeply intone with my own reservoir of kundalini, I have been a force since I was a little girl, but up until I meditated with Yogi Madan it was not being properly used and now I understand that it could not possibly be used correctly without the shaktipat.
I believe that for the first time in my life I am feeling the true and constructive energies that have always been there, in my character and my life path, but could not be actualized. I was a piece of machinery that worked, just like most of us, but it seemed like I was tapping my own power in incredibly inefficient ways. I would deplete my energies very quickly and then also get bursts of too much with no idea how to use it. That seemed to be the mode of operation for most of my life. Incredible insights, energies, understanding, but I think that the best way to describe how I was before as ‘ill’, energetically, which I am now realizing is only just now changing for the first time.
Six years ago, age 21 my whole life changed in a way I never could have anticipated. I fractured my spine and suddenly went from being a classical dancer, gymnast and avid soccer/basketball player…to doing nothing. It felt like my whole connection to the world was cut off, what I didn’t realize at the time was that my connection to the world the way it was before WAS gone, but my connection to the greater world, the universe at large, was being allowed to wake up. Before my injuries I was a body in motion, free and- I believe- very attached to my personal kundalini force, but with no control, no fine tuning. Like a battery that drains its charge but has as remarkable charge when it works=), I really had no idea at that point how to balance myself or control my reservoir. My level of conscious awareness was usually the thing inside me that was half asleep… and I was raised by very conscientious, poor and humble people compared to most in this country, but even at my best it was impossible for me to be using my energy in the proper way. It was like a propeller rocketing me around my life with no understanding or cultivation. Being rocketed around by powerful forces you don’t understand gets you nowhere pretty quickly.
After I broke my spine the whole world changed to one bed, starring at one ceiling, for 6 months. After lying in that bed for 6 months you lose all your precious muscle mass, which is very important for holding the spine in place…and then there is really nothing you can do to get it back once whatever muscles are left grow back in whatever way they can manage. The next summer I was required to have surgery again, with only 2 months of recovery.
The experience of fracturing my spine and watching my world close down to a tiny pinhole seemed like a curse on my life for a lot of years. Intense and disciplined classical ballet was the center of my life, if I had ever felt really passionately in love with something in this world it was that. And now, here I was, in pain all the time and I don’t take any prescription medication. Shut away from the world. FORCED to just be. I felt like I had left the world. I was angry...in deep deep ways. I was sad. I thought my life was over. But of course what I thought was a curse on my life has led me to this point, but its led me soooo far from that place and now its led me way out here to this amazing house in the middle of nowhere, complete with the recent traumatic break up between my partner and I…after trusting him and moving out here…its forced me to face the few things that have been left unattended inside of me
It stared me right in the face and put me into a position where I had no choice but to make a few huge jumps in my own personal growth. And here I am, fully working on it and really working it out. I can say that with complete confidence. Its joyful.
Two months ago when I got an email from Yogi Madan I was skeptical about dealing with anyone who calls themselves a guru, especially online, but after reading only a few of his writings and responses to people in his tribes I new that I trusted him and that this was not a front, this was not about HIM, he was not misusing these important tools. I felt, this might sound silly, but he was not coming from the third eye haha- he was coming from the fifth.
Even still I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go through the process of kundalini raising in my current living situation, going through the painful process of parting ways with my partner, but it was just so natural and I knew it was the right thing to do. I knew that raising kundalini could be potentially destructive, but I believe that it was the absolute time and place for this to happen, Yogi Madan in obviously very intuitive =)
All his message said was “would you like me to show you who you are in reality? OM”
=)
and I knew exactly what he meant by that. I was almost in disbelief that I was finally getting my chance! And it just happened without me seeking him out, he found me.
I was ready to get rid of one more layer of self…and this time it was going to be a big one, require some help. I felt like Kali Ma was waving that Vagra brush at me…asking me if I wanted to do things the hard way or the harder way. I picked the hard way- possibly for the first time in my life I picked the hard way over the harder one!- and Im so glad.
I am so grateful for the experience and at the time I had no idea what to expect. I have a lot of experience with meditation and yoga and out of body work, but this was a completely unique experience. I felt physiological reactions to the meditation that I normally would not have felt so consistently…for the first three days I felt intense heat and pressure all over my body but concentrated around the main chakra meridians, very intensely around my solar plexus, main heart chakra and the two sides of the heart chakra inside the shoulder and below the colar bone. I felt my root chakra doing… things haha, from about the first five minutes of the first hour session and throughout all four sessions. The third day was very intense with the strongest heat and pressure of all four days concentrated (mostly) just around the heart chakra and my head…
and led into the fourth days experience perfectly. The fourth day I felt something completely different. I could only describe it as being perfectly still and sitting up but feeling like I am between awake and asleep…falling, but sitting up perfectly straight. This state came to me within the first few moments of the fourth days meditation and lasted the whole hour, like I was taking one long in and out breath that last for one whole hour.
This was the most beautiful experiences of my life and definitely one of the greatest things that I have done for my own well being, for my life. I needed his help, I asked and asked…or just sort of set my intention…to connect with someone like I him… but I had no idea how or when I would meet him. Throughout our meditation sessions I felt as if I were sitting right there with him… If my mind wandered or if I tried too hard to ‘observe’ the physical sensations I would just feel him pull my attention, very gently and caring, back to the direct connection between us while we were sitting there. I felt like he was just making small but important adjustments in my body…maybe the places where I am losing energy or am too closed off to energy in other places. Ive felt for some time like my chakras are fractured where my spine is fractured (around the 2nd and 3rd.. chakras, I have a metal cage around the L4 and L5 vertebrae…metal and the chakra meridians?) Sitting with him was a very particular feeling, which I don’t believe I have even ever felt with someone who I was sitting right next to, let alone someone on the other side of the world. It was a perfectly loving peaceful place, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
I am very grateful for that experience. I am grateful to myself for having the sense to engage in the shaktipat when it came to me!
Most of all I am in awe of the work that Yogi Madan in doing, helping one person at a time, which is the only true way to affect the world.
Thank you.

Blessings Yogi Madan,
I love what you said in a recent posting, "It is sure that without inner awakening you cannot liberate"... the simple Truth. Thank you for this timely reminder to me.
Sat Nam,
