Yogi Bhajan says, regarding So Darhan Chakra Kriya: “Of all the 20 types of yoga, including Kundalini Yoga, this is the highest Kriya. This meditation cuts through all darkness. It will give you a new start. It cuts through all barriers of accumulated neuroses. This kriya invokes the Kundalini to give you the necessary vitality and intuition to combat the negative pressure of the subsconscious mind.”

“If you do this meditation for 62 minutes and ultimately 2 1/2 hours it will give you Nao Niddhi Athara Siddhi, nine precious virtues and 18 types of intutive gifts. The entire Universe is contained in these 27 facets. This purifies and pefects and will make you Saintly, successful, and second to none.

Overall this meditation will stabilize your mind, bring out the inner talents you were born to use, and help you move beyond the patterns that create obstacles to your fulfillment and success.

Here is a poem written by the 15th century poet/saint Jaidev, describing his life and Destiny changing experience with the meditation called So Darshan Chakra Kriya. This poem is included in the Siri Guru Granth which is the holy book of the Sikh tradition. It's very rare to see a technique described so explicitly in a sacred text. It was done in this instance as a homage to this meditation.

Inhale through the lunar nostril
Suspend it in the central channel of the spine
Repeat Wahe Guru sixteen times. Exhale through the solar nostril.

My incentive is Your Will. My gifts flow from Your Power.
My unstable mind has been stabliized.
My unadorned soul has been adorned.
I drink the Ambrosial Nectar.

The Name of the Infinite One, the source of all virtue, resounds in my mind.

The blindfold darkening my inner vision has been ripped away.
Now nothing can come between us. We are the same.

I worship the One who is worthy of worship.
I trust in the One who is worthy of being trusted.
As water merges in water, I merge in the Infinite.
