Weighty matters...

By
In todays times, when appearances run supreme; the worst thing to happen to a youngster is perhaps a rightward shift of the needle on the weighing scale. Instantly, one gets tensed, enters depression, develops a low self esteem. Side effects??? Food deprivation followed by binges, resultant guilt and fasting...and hence a vicious circle. Escape route? Hit the gym. 
Implications...further DePression due to not being able to eat what one likes freely, having to finish those laps on the treadmill, and still no tracable results. sLuGGishness and LeThargy due no stamina in body because of improper nutrition, loss of muscle n tissue on machines and offcourse untimely secret indulgences in sweets and junk.
What is a person suppose to do??? You cannot just sit on it and iGnore, Can you??

    Weight issue is certainly a touchy topic..I have seen close friends geting into depression due to heavy weight problems. People are unable to find right match for themselves. The inferiority complex completely kills the self development and can lead to illness and ailments of several kinds. Such serious this subject is. I think the reason to this problem is that these days there are too many temptations for indulgence and are difficult to resist..we are lured to a lifestyle which is easy and unfortunately is unhealthy so I think the remedy that works like a charm is a way through wich the temtations can be curbed automatically without effort...and now,this is very much possible with regular practice of Snatan Kriya at dhyan foundation and the guidance from one's guru.I have experienced this for real and know number of people who have been able to pass the these temptations without putting on great efforts..

    You know what, i too were overweight...while i wanted to lose weight real bad, i wudnt do much about it because whenever i wud approach help they wud say cut down on cals...which meant doing away wid sweets n chocolates and i have the sweetest tooth on this planet...so i wud drop the idea..whts d point of being thin, if even then you cant eat what you want..

    Some time back, i joined dhyan foundation and strtd with prctise of sanatan kriya. its so amazing, within months i was back in shape!! and al i did was sit with my eyes shut...there has been no change in my eating habits, i eat all that i wnt to..as yogiji says maybe its just the power of thought and ofcourse the grace of GURU..

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

By
"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st

Gyan Vs Knowledge

By
"There is a huge difference between knowledge and gyan . Let me give an example. When I was appearing for my class 10 exams, I found that as it is I am bad in maths apart from that I was weak in Geography as well and in our school whoever used to fail in two subjects used to fail in that class. So I still remember that I memorised the whole book, chapter-wise and in the exam for each question I wrote the entire chapter. So ultimately the examiner must have thought that I have written so much (even though irrelevant) that he gave me passing marks- exactly 33 %. So, you may know entire chapters on Yoga but the  gyan  will still not be there. When you do yog or  dhyan ,  gyan  comes to you constantly. As you progress  Gyan  comes to you step by step. When you receive  gyan  you take one step, then you receive more gyan and move to the next step and so on and so forth. This progress is not dependent on time. Gyan will come to you only when you are connected to your Guru; without thi
