Press Club - Blanket Drive

By

What does a cricketer, a supermodel and a doctor, have in common? Dhyan Foundation! This Thursday, 20th January, saw a unique initiative, the flagging of blankets for the downtrodden and the needy. Organised by Dhyan Foundation at the Press Club, the event saw the support of many members of the press. The guests of honour included, former cricketer Nikhil Chopra, well known model Amanpreet Wahi and nutritionist Dr Shikha Sharma. Service and charity are the first steps in yoga and Wahi took this opportunity to highlight the great work Dhyan Foundation, under the guidance of Yogi Ashwini has been doing and emphasised on her four-year long association with the Foundation. Chopra too applauded the good work the Foundation does and encouraged others to tread the path. Dr Sharma gave the audience interesting notes and anecdotes about yoga and ayurveda and explained how these ancient sciences hold the key to good health. At the end of the session the vans loaded with warm blankets were flagged off with a lot of cheer from the crowd.

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
