How will you know what yoga is?

"When creation began, it was marked as the Satyug. In Satyug, Yoga primarily was gyan (not knowledge). We differentiate knowledge from gyan – while knowledge is limited to the physical brain and the 5 senses, gyan is embedded in the deepest core of the physical and etheric self. To prove this fact, I would like to quote an interesting case study. Mr. William Sheridan from New York went for a heart  transplant. Before the surgery he was an ordinary office-goer, but post the surgery he suddenly started to sketch and paint. He himself was taken by surprise and when research was done, it was found that the heart that was given to him belonged to an artist  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ health/article-381589/ The-art-transplant.html  This proves that consciousness is present in each and every cell of the body and in all layers of cell. [Cell is not a modern-day concept. Rishi Atreya gave the concept of anu and paramanu many millennia ago in the Sankhya philosophy. He described ...

Ageing and Concept of Agni

"In Ayurveda a concept of agni (fire) has been given. Agni here refers not just to the digestive fire, but various kinds of agnis corresponding to myriad life processes. In fact, it is the agni which is the sub-stratum of a cell, not the nucleus. It is the play of agni that leads to symptoms of ageing in the body, that is, dulling of the senses - vision deteriorates, hearing ability decreases, sense of touch becomes weak, etc. What do these agnis do? When you inhale there is an exchange of gases in the lungs, energy is produced at the cellular level and in turn, toxins are also produced. These toxins are called as  ama  in  Ayurveda . Because of their production, cell exhibits symptoms of weakening. Cells die and are reborn, each subsequent cell being weaker than the previous one. There is a limit to how many times a cell can multiply; this has been recognized as the Hayflick Limit in western science. In 1912, an experiment was conducted by Alexis Carrel where chicken...

YOG'A'?

"Yoga"- this four letter word has become a very popular term in recent times and everyone seems to think that they know what it is. This is because of the extensive commercialization of the subject. infact, so much so that it has become a multi-crore business- with all kinds of "products" available in the market and all 'forms' of yoga and some of the recent "innovations" like Hot yoga, Power yoga are amusing,to say the least. (a simple google search will be enlightening here!) But do you really know what yoga is ? Even those who know its literal meaning that is "union" seem to not give it any further consideration. Majority think of yoga as -"doing some asans and breathing exercises to keep your body fit and mind relaxed" Yog (or Yog'a') is in reality the ultimate science- science of the self. It is by Yog that you discover who you really are. Mind you this is no philosophy, it is THE most practical subject. It...

Breathe the right way

Breathing is the essence of life.No human can survive without it yet it is not given much significance. Even one second of breath lost creates a huge disturbance in the body.In today's world when there are so many people teaching so many breathing techniques,its very important to know the right way to breath.When you breath in the right way not only does your body gets into balance but also adds an extra glow on your face.In sanatan  kriya we do abdominal breathing in ujjai. Gently be aware of your navel and slowly start breathing in  ujjai, ie,   when you inhale, the stomach is pushed out and when you exhale the stomach is pulled in. Slowly and steadily keep increasing the volume and time of every cycle of the breath. Reach a point where you feel that this is your capacity of inhalation and also of exhalation i.e. you cannot take in more and neither can you take out more (full capacity). Do not try to stretch yourself beyond your limit. Try to take breath to its fu...

Law of karma

Law of karma- the real meaning... Karma can be simply translated as action.Action doesnt necessarily stand for an act in the physical.it can be a thought also.Infact every action in physical terms is a thought before manifestation. the law of karma to put simply is - "what u sow,so shall u reap" We all are aware of this law but how many of us take it seriously and how many of us truly follow it? Every action of ours be it positive or negative releases opposite force in universe i.e. whatever we do has to come back to us but the reaction may not necessarily equal,it could be greater too. What you give to others comes back to you manifold . Its very important not to have any ill feeling against any person in thought, word or deed. Its very difficult to escape the result of your karma in the form of pleasure or pain unless you are holding the hand of a GURU.With the GURU'S grace the events of your life will not be able to affect you in any possible way. It is time we app...

Yog- Definitely not a business!

Yog or Yoga as its been called today has lost its real meaning. Most associate it with breathing exercises or doing asans (just like some fitness regime). With so many "GURUS" all over and each one having their own styles of yoga, makes a person wonder what is actually Yog'a' ? Yog is GURU and nothing beyond it. It begins and culminates with your GURU.Yog is a complete science of a person's evolution and such a pious science cannot be bought or sold in the market. As Yog has been there in our culture since the very beginnings, thus nobody can lay claim on it and sell it as a "product" to meet personal needs.Saffron clad, in today's world, does not necessarily indicate one is on the right path. Therefore, it is imperative to understand what Yog really is and who can be called a Guru!

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

Time travel has remained one of the most intriguing subjects for physicists of all times. Scientists have spent their lives racking their brains on how to make it possible, yet as per modern sciences it remains a dream. On the other hand, the Vedic rishis had already decoded the mystery of time. Time, as per the Vedic rishis, is nothing but the distance between two thoughts. That is why in the state of dhyan, time does not exist as at that point thoughts cease to exist. The higher the state of evolution or stillness, slower is the passage of time for that being. It is said that in a blink of Lord Brahma’s eye a yuga passes by, and a blink of Lord Vishnu’s eye sees a mahayug pass by. Through yogic practices like Sanatan Kriya , one is able to still ones thoughts and hence become independent of time. The yogi can then travel in time — go forward or backward. Travelling in time, in fact, is widely used in yog for the purpose of evolution and for aiding the creation. Yogis visit past liv...
