Mantras for Change

YOGI ASHWINI. In all the thousands of years of human existence, had pollution ever reached such a high level so as to make the environment unfit for living beings? In none of the previous Yugs have so many diseases manifested and plagued mankind. The mind is perhaps the most powerful tool, in all this. In fact, contamination first manifests in the mind as a selfish thought which, in turn, permeates into the whole society creating distrust and greed, making natural resources scarce and hazardous. Increasing greed and self-centeredness have caused deforestation and strain on our non-renewable resources. And when you add to this the gross misuse of ancient mantras and practices, it only increases environmental pollution. The entire creation emerged from just one sound - ‘OM’. Every sound in the creation effects a change in the physical body which might be positive (sur) or negative (asur). A mantra is a combination of sounds which is chanted by the siddh of the mantra to manifest a...

selfless love

Love is a beautiful feeling and its nice to know there is always someone who wants to be there for you and give you selfless love without any expectations.When the love is selfless it always brings a lot of happiness, joy and peace which is much more than anything that money can buy.One such example of selfless love is that of a GURU.GURU does not expect anything in return but is always working for the benefit of others and creation.Sometimes out of ignorance sadhaks make huge mistakes but still GURU forgets everything and always cares for the sadhaks and helps them rise to a better level in life.YOGI ASHWINIJI is a GURU whom i have always seen working only towards the progress of mankind and for the creation without any expectations in return.He is always guiding sadhaks towards the right path and working round the clock to see there is happiness and bliss all round and getting people to know the correct vedic culture.Blessed are we sadhaks who are under your sanidhya. "OM SHRI G...

learning from mistakes

We are all bound to make mistakes and a sensible person is one who has the courage to admit his/her mistake,take complete responsibility and see that the mistake is never repeated again.When we are on the path of yog,every word that GURU says becomes a mantra for us.But most of us according to our capacity of thinking and capability,judge the words in our own terms ,try to interpret a new meaning ,go wrong and then learn a very valuable lesson in life.It becomes very important when we hold the hand of a GURU,either we trust him completely or we dont and when we do then we should never let him down.Under the guidance of a GURU also we make mistakes by not listening to him because of our ego and our limited thinking capacity forgetting that a GURU would never do anything for his selfish needs but only for our benefit.A sensible person would be the one who would learn from the mistakes an follow the words of the GURU with complete faith and confidence.

How important is niyam?

Niyam or discipline makes a person always progress in life.Any person who does his work in a disciplined manner always makes the best use of time and moves forward in life.Niyam as it is called in yog is very important for a sadhak to progress.Yog is a subject of topmost priority and it comes second to none.Any person who wants to progress on the path of yog should always follow the niyams set by his/her GURU and not judge them by their limited buddhi.We should never break any niyam given by the GURU as only the GURU knows our capacity.Our vedic culture has given a lot of importance to niyam and a person who follows it always progresses on the path of his evolution by the grace of the GURU . Always remember there is nothing as important as yog an never break your niyam for anything or else you are not fit for yog but you are meant for that state only for which you break your niyam.Find a GURU an under his sanidhya make your life worth living.

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...

The REAL you

Everyone says i am perfect,everybody says i am unique and strong and there is nothing that I cannot do or achieve.Then why are we unhappy?Why do we fall when we encounter a crisis and  why are we not able to solve it?Is this world the reality or are we living in illusion?Even if a girl is good looking, she wants to look better. A person who has lots of money is always unhappy comparing himself to other people.Lets get practical and real and learn that this world that we live is only reel as the real world lies inside us..The entire creation and the gods and the goddess which represent the various energies of this creation also lie within us.The day we understand what we are,we would be free from all sorrows and lead a peaceful and detached life.The life within is the only reality but this real you cannot be found by reading books or listening to discourses...You can find and know yourself when you hold the hand of a GURU.Under the guidance of a GURU,the entire creation is revealed ...

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...

Havan

Havan-Its the direct way of interaction with the divine energies.Fire or Agni is the only element that cannot be polluted an this is the reason it is chosen as a medium to interact with the devlok.While we feed fruits an vegetables,the devas feed on fragrances.So its very important to ensure the purity of the samagri,the correct prounciation(uccharan) of the mantras an the purity of the thought.When a havan is done under the sanidhya of a GURU,it has a very powerful effect on those participating in it.You imbibe the purity of agni warding off all the negativity an diseases.The proper uccharan of mantras in a havan is very important.It needs to have the right words,right prounciation and the right modulation.Incorrect uccharan can do more harm than good which is the reason for the present state of chaos in the world.Under the sanidhya of a GURU,lets preserve our vedic culture an help towards the creation. "Of the five elements agni or fire is the only element which cannot ...

Dont vegetate...Live your life!

Yog or Yoga has been given to us by our forefathers- the Vedic Rishis. they were highly advanced beings who had studied every single thing in the creation, including the being.  In todays world this sacred science of yog is more relevant than ever before. Life in the "modern" world is full of stress, competition, anger, impatience, betrayal and dishonesty, but there is a golden chance to live a life like a lotus in this dirty contaminated water.When you begin on the path of yog nothing changes outside, its still all the same but there is a change within (and that too without you even realizing it) and life takes a complete turn around (but this needs to be experienced individually!) Life becomes full of energy and enthusiasm and above everything else there is a real purpose to life. Life looks beautiful, meaningful and it now gives the strength to walk straight and allows you to focus on the 'goal' without any worryies or tensions..What more can a person ask for? Star...
