Karma- A Law?

"Whatever happens with you is in accordance with the Law of Karma." So says Yogi Ashwini ji all the time. I used to listen to this, read about this, but the "gyan" of this didn't come to me, until a personal experience occurred last year in December.

We reap what we sow. In fact Yogi Ashwini ji has stressed that in return of our actions, we get many times over. This I learnt when one day, while parking my bike in the shed, I accidentally happened to touch a long heavy iron bar that was dangerously resting on a stone. It rolled over a bit, but still stayed on the stone's edge. It could easily fall off it. But, it didn't.

A couple of days later, when I was taking out my bike, a small feather-touch was all it took to move that heavy iron bar. It rolled, and it fell off the stone, and on to my foot! I cried out in pain; it was early morning; no one was there to hear me, help me.

I moved with pain, till the time they told me at the hospital (a couple of hours later), post the X-ray, that there was a crack in the bone of the big toe on my right foot. It took 4 weeks to heal!

Yes, the law of Karma exists. It was me who had pushed the iron bar to its dangerous edge. And it was me who got hurt, not any one else.

I had bored my Karma. From that instance onwards, I have been ever so careful with my actions (including my thoughts), because now I have realised; I have got the gyan of the Law of Karma.

Have you...?

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...

falam fale falani

Sanskrit is the oldest language known to man. It is considered to be the very origin of language itself; that from which all languages have arisen or evolved. Unlike popular belief, Sanskrit is not a language only of scriptures or hymns and chants chanted in rituals and ceremonies; it was used in earlier times by everyone - philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, poets and playwrights, grammarians etc. In grammar, Panini and Patanjali (authors of Ashtadhyayi and the Mahabhashya) have no equals in the world; in astronomy and mathematics the works of Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta and Bhaskaracharya opened up new frontiers for mankind, as did the works of Charak and Sushrut in medicine. In literature, the works of Kalidas (Shakuntala, Meghdoot, Malavikagnimitra, etc.), Bhavabhuti (Malti Madhav, Uttar Ramcharit, etc.) are known all over the world. Thus, Sanskrit literature is easily the richest literature in the history of mankind. Infact in 1786, when Sir William Jones, in a paper pres...

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...
