Letter from Mahavatar Babaji: Sahasrara Chakra

At the crown sits the thousand-petaled lotus. These thousand energy points, when connected to the heart wherein Divinity sits in the throne of the Self, man reaches the ability to directly communicate with The Divine, God. It is possible, I assure you. You must trust in your ability to reach this level of consciousness in order for the connection to radiate the frequency wherein you may reach and merge with it? How is this done? When you are ready to follow your heart to the length, breadth, and depth of yourself in time and space, you may then connect that frequency with the Divine Creative Source of the Self. This connection will occur at the point of the thousand-petaled lotus at the crown. You will not think you are imagining these things; this energy is powerfully omnipotent.

Once, a child we know in the west sat in a little red rocking chair on Earth at six years old. He made the connection with the Divine at this point of the thousand-petaled lotus when he heard a song on the radio, “How Great Thou Art.” So greatly the bhakti within his heart was awakened, that from that moment onward he searched for this God of “How Great Thou Art.” It is such moments of great awareness that each and every one has in life, wherein it can be known that The Divine does not leave anyone to flounder alone on his path back to the Divine. All of you have these moments in life, wherein you connect with the greater awareness though the crown chakra, the thousand-petaled lotus. Remember these times in your own life and trust that the Divine communicates with Itself, You, throughout your incarnations and you never are left alone! We adore that which we aspire to be, isn’t it? That is all right!

Let It Be. It is so! I am Babaji, a red-violet lotus flower I hand you in the etheric energy of that which I AM, only Love Divine, and so are you, my beloved chelas of the Internet. -Babaji

Sahasrara

The Sahasrara chakra is located at the crown and it has 1000 petals. In Hindu literature, it is known as "the supreme center of contact with God". Sahasrara is positioned at the crown, and it has 1000 petals which are arranged in 20 layers, each with 50 petals.

The Sahasrara chakra symbolizes detachment from illusion, an essential element in obtaining sacred higher consciousness of the truth that one is all and all is one. Often referenced as a thousand-petaled lotus, it is from this chakra that all the other chakras emanate.

When a yogi is able to raise his energy of consciousness up to the Sahasrara point, the state of Samadhi, or union with God, is experienced. The Sahasrara chakra is often related to the pineal gland and the violet color.
