spiritual Vs material

By
Often we see life as a dichotomy - either "material" or "spiritual" and consider these as mutually exclusive... thinking these two to be isolated paths where a being has to choose only one. This is one of the fundamental errors that we make, because the fact is that we are here to experience- experience what we had desired. The so called "spiritual path" or the path of Yog in reality is an all inclusive journey... but this journey begins only and only when one finds ones Guru and finding a true Guru is possible even in the commercial times that we are in today. On the path of yog desires are not suppressed, rather one experiences whatever one desired and goes beyond,  holding the hand of  ones Guru. 

“It’s a wrong perception to think that the spiritual is divorced from the material.  It is only your level of spiritual evolution that decides what you ask from Divine.”-Yogi Ashwini

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...
