In this conversation with a realised master, Master Sirio Ji, we are trying to find the place of Surat Shabd Yoga on the big map of Yoga. To better understand the method and approach, we begin this attempt by comparing Surat Shabd Yoga and another yoga direction, well-known and spread in the West, Kundalini Yoga. That's why the title is 'Surat' (in sanskrit 'Attention') vs. 'Kundalini' (in sanskrit 'coiled snake').
During the conversation it unfolds through the wise words of Master Sirio, why Surat Shabd Yoga in India is also called Sahaj Yoga, or in English 'Easy Yoga'. It can be easily practised by anyone, physical condition and age don't matter. This is a method for all. On the other hand, real kundalini yogis need a fit and fine physical body, special concentration and complete detachment from the world to tame the awakening dormant energy or 'coiled snake' in their body. So this method is for a few, as not everyone can perform it.
In Surat Shabd Yoga the spiritual enlightenment of Divine Perception comes from high, directly from the region of Sach Kand in its pure form as Inner Light and Sound, also called Sounding Light. In Kundalini Yoga this state of spiritual enlightenment must be provoked through several exercises, to 'wake up' the 'dormant snake', the embodied innate Consciousness and bring it up from the ground level to the top, so from the root chakra ('Muladhara') to the third-eye ('Ajna chakra') and the crown chakra ('Sahasrara') in the energetic body.
As the most basic and simplified result of this comparison, we might conclude by saying, that in Surat Shabd Yoga we need to keep the focus naturally at the third eye centre, and the energy comes from up spontaneously. In Kundalini Yoga it comes from down and one has to wake and work the energy up in the body from chakra to chakra by several means and handle it properly to raise.
