Sri Harold Klemp, the Living Eck Master, has a lecture on something called the Shariyat Technique. It seems to be a more advanced technique to what I’ve been doing already (chanting HU, then opening the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad to a random position and read something). The full lecture is linked below and can be found on Spotify.

Notes

1. Phase 1: Think of a problem or situation needing guidance or help.
   • Open the Shariyat to a random position and read 1 paragraph
2. Phase 2: Contemplation
   • 1st: With eyes closed, chant HU 8 times. When done, contemplate for 5 minutes
   • 2nd: With eyes closed, chant HU 8 times. when done, contemplate for 5 minutes
   • 3rd: With eyes closed, chant HU 8 times. When done, contemplate for 5 minutes
3. Phase 3: Open the Shariyat at random again
   • Read a paragraph from the Shariyat
   • Compare this reading to the first
   • See if there is a new direction, solution or angle to the problem

Note: The Mahanta said that there are other gains from this practice that will be understood on an individual level.
