what is moksha

What is moksha?
"Moksha is simply a state above your present state. For a dog becoming a cow is moksha and for a cow graduating to a human is moksha. Similarly, for a labourer becoming a supervisor is moksha, for a supervisor becoming a manager is moksha, for a manager attaining the position of a general-manager is moksha, for a general- manager the chair of a CEO is moksha and for a CEO becoming a Yogi is moksha. All these are attainable in one lifetime only, if you are sthir inside. Whatever your current state is, rising above that is moksha for you. Moksha does not refer just to the state of leaving everything and uniting with self - as at this level of evolution it is impractical for you to think about that. Here I am talking about people in general and not about exceptions. For a common man, rising above his/her current state is Moksha. In short, vairagya is Moksha and Moksha is vairagya. This implies you keep climbing up the steps one-by-one but this upward progression depends on the shakti of your vairagya. It depends on what you are ready to ‘leave’ but this ‘leaving’ is not by forcing yourself, it happens naturally.

Yog is not meant for those who have nothing else to do. You must understand whatever will be your priority, that will give you the same priority. If you give a 2nd place to the subject of yog; if you think that yog I will do later first let me do X or Y or Z then be certain you will never be able to understand the subject of yog. Yog is the final frontier and commands first priority."-Yogi Ashwini

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

"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

Animal Welfare Initiatives

Protecting the weak and helpless, be it a plant, an animal or a human being, is a #dharma of every single human being and #dharma is the lifeline that keeps the creation going... says Yogi Ashwiniji. thats why.. Animal Welfare forms an integral part of the many service initiatives that #DhyanFoundation  has undertaken to help aid creation. The volunteers rescue, rehabilitate and take care of any animal in need, and have started dedicated programs for cows, dogs, monkeys and birds.  Know more: http://www.dhyanfoundation.com/causes/animal-welfare.php Feed A Dog Help a Monkey Save A Cow Befriend A Bird

Gyan Vs Knowledge

"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
