Cosmic Curve

At The curve, some nice people from Sahaja Yoga were operating a booth where they offered to do a five minute meditation exercise for free. The purpose seems to be to free up our chakras and enable ourselves to be the conduit of cosmic energy and thus maintaining health and achieving peace. Some people were having laying of hands, aura cleansing kind of gestures. They were being 'tuned' to feel the energy emanating from themselves. We thought, "What the heck. We'll give it a try". They were really having a hard time explaining the concept to us, but we said we'll just go for the practical anyways. It started like this:

Practitioner: Put your right hand over your chest.
(We follow)
Practitioner: Look at Mother Mataji's photo. We affectionately refer to her as Mother. She's the founder.
Me: What?
Practitioner: Beseech Mother to grant you inner peace.
My mother and I: What?
(We bolted off)

I guess we weren't expecting that.

So, does your Kundalini require awakening?

PS: Sahaja Yoga was founded by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. She's a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
