Shakti - Inner Divine Power

There are five great shaktis of Ganesha. Their positive vibratory ranges can be felt throughout your astral and physical body and should always be with you.

What is this shakti?

It is to be in the presence of the Divine. All men and women emanate all these shaktis, and so can you, some stronger than others.

Shakti is defined as the divine radiation that flows from the Third World, through the Second World and into the First. The astral body, present in the Second World, coexists with the physical body and it is through it that we can experience shakti. This energy comes from the Third World and permeates the astral body in the Second World, which explains why the physical body sometimes seems to feel "full" of shakti, from deep within our skin.

Deeply awakened souls experience an intense fullness of divine shakti, which penetrates like cosmic rays to the perimeter of the aura, that colorful film of light that surrounds the body. This powerful energy is perceived by others and is considered a personal darshana, a unique and meaningful spiritual experience.

Feeling the presence of the benevolent and beneficent Ganesha Deity everywhere is the example of what every soul desires to achieve. To experience this personally will require daily meditation, our Ganesha Orgone Energy necklace can help you connect with this deity.

Ganesha Shaktis can be yours

1.  The first shakti emanates the feeling of love and compassion that the good person naturally feels for his or her immediate family. For Hindus, love and harmony within the nuclear or joint family are of utmost importance. This beautiful feeling is considered to be the first manifestation of the Lord's shakti. When love prevails in the home and virtue is fostered, the home becomes perfect and fulfills its purpose.
2. The second shakti is the same feeling but extended to relatives, neighbors and friends, all those who are part of the extended family. Maintaining love and harmony in the family can be a challenge, as inharmonious conditions, known as asuric forces, often arise and cause misunderstandings and dislike between people. However, through prayer and worship, the first shakti can extend beyond the immediate family, including acquaintances, relatives and friends. When this vibration of harmony is experienced, a powerful state is accessed in which the first and second shakti merge, giving way to the abundant irruption of the third shakti.
3. The third shakti of Ganesha is this same love extended to everyone one has dealings with in the outside world: business associates, an occasional merchant and the general public. It is the honest and harmonious relationships in the conduct of the business of trade and commerce and transactions of goods, finance and the distribution of the wealth of the world. This is a very important vibration to feel, and feel constantly. It is difficult to hold on to this shakti of the Lord, because worldly and materialistic forces, as you well know, militate against this kind of harmony. But once these lower powers are conquered, worries cease, worries are relieved, and sincere joy comes. Such is the grace of loving Ganesha. "Those businessmen will prosper whose business protects as their own the interests of others."
4. The fourth shakti is an effulgence of having clung to the first three. It is a combination of the first two shaktis, stabilized by the third. The fourth shakti of Ganesha brings through the creative-intuitive mind - the love of culture and all that it brings with it, religious formalities and respect and appreciation of discipline. Here we find the vibration of religion, which brings as a blessing creativity in music, art, drama and dance. It is through these refining rays that religious life adheres and congested forces are braided into a harmonious pattern for a glorious future. Thanks to the fourth shakti, religious practices are carried out coherently and the refinements of the past are carried forward into the future. It also extends to devotion to ancestors and all forms of positive participation in the community.
5. The fifth shakti of Ganesha is the combination of the first and third in vibration, and extends into the wonderful feelings obtained by the outpouring of love for this God. Loving Lord Ganesha with all your heart and soul is the combined fusion of these five shaktis. This gives the added blessing of being able to be charitable; for those who love God perform charity, build shrines and temples and engage in overflowing generosity of their resources, earning abundant punya, fine merit, accumulated for this life and passed on to the next. We can see that harmony within the immediate family and harmony extended to all business associates creates the spiritual dynamic within the individual and group to burst forth in love for this benign God and receive His material, emotional, intellectual and spiritual abundance.

The rest of Shaktis

You may wonder what lies beyond these first five vibratory indices. Three more shaktis remain to be unveiled, which we will do here if only briefly.

1. The sixth shakti, entrusted to Lord Murugan, is that of raja yoga, the awakening of kundalini, which should never be attempted until the first five vibratory rates have been maintained and become a natural part of one's life. The sixth shakti is only felt in yogic meditation, when the crown of the head becomes the temple-the high-pitched tone "eee" resounding within like a temple bell, and the kundalini awakens, the light of camphor glowing. The yogi thus enclosed in his own yoke is seated in the fifth shakti, supported by the lotus petals of the other four. In his yoga state, he then merges into jnana; and the answers to his deepest philosophical questions become crystal clear as the seventh shakti penetrates the akashic ether of his mind.
2. The seventh shakti is the great ray of the delivery of spiritual teachings from the edge of the Absolute, at which point Lord Shiva and His son Lord Murugan merge. This great shakti is sustained by the rishis and saints of our religion. Lord Murugan Himself is the preceptor of our entire religion.
3. The seventh and eighth shaktis are the Siva-Shakti, the great dance of creation, the eighth being that effulgent power which is felt when the mind is recollected as it leaves the Self, the Absolute, and then forms itself into manifest knowledge: the seventh shakti.
