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...

'Vairagya'

By
We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us. Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependen...

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

By
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...
