Destiny

"Destiny which is called as prarabdh in vedic terminology is indeed a fact. Everyone has to go through the effect of what is prarabdh. It is only Shiv or your Guru who have the capacity to alter what is prarabdh , but then that is done only for a higher cause. By doing yog under the sanidhya of your Guru, whatever has to happen will still happen, but you will not feel its effect. Therefore that karma becomes redundant for you. Thus role of a Yog Guru is to gradually open all these karma bandhans. The purpose of life is simply to experience what you have desired. This desire could be anything- desire to have a particular sweet or the sexual desire or desire to paint depending on the individual. So there is nothing wrong in experiencing whatever you desire, after all that’s what you are here for. But the problem comes when you get stuck in one desire and that becomes a pitfall.Don’t forget that apart from the 5 senses there are subtler senses and higher worlds that can be accesse...

karmic balance

The entire creation may be described as having just two aspects- Prakriti (anything that can be perceived by the five senses) and Purush (soul). Today man is lost so much in the worldly pleasures that he has completely lost touch with purush(soul).When we face problems we blame it on God asking him why we deserve it but we forget whatever we receive pleasures or pains is as per our karmic balance.We always forget the basic law of karma that every action has equal an opposite reaction.When we enjoy pleasures,we have to balance it with pain an when we get pain be happy,out negative karmas are been taken care of because every pain and pleasure has a limited period.A Yogi knows this and is unaffected by problems, s/he sees it as cancelling out of negative karmas.And such gyan is only possible when you are under the sanidhya of a GURU.A GURU makes even your pain look like a pleasure for you an when you have his grace,your entire journey is blessed.

you can never satisfy anybody

Life-full of surprises,ups and downs,expectations and rejections but when you understand the correct meaning of life and the purpose of your birth,life becomes very clear.Every relation we make in our lives has some give and take from our previous lives.Be it any relation even when you try to give your hundred percent most of them are not happy, rather have complaints about the way things are been done.Even if you die for them,they would say you could have died in a better way.There is no end to human needs and wants and satisfaction is never there in any relation.To indulge endlessly in satisfying others is a futile exercise. You must do your duties to the best of your ability, each one knows his/her ability and then never look back. Your “worldly duties” will never end. Hold the hand of a GURU and find a purpose and meaning to life and walk on the right path in the right way.

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...

In yog you dont need to leave anything.

Yog or yoga is more than asanas and jumping around like monkeys.Yog is a very powerful science which can only be achieved under the guidance of a GURU.Yog means merger,merger of you with your GURU. Atmasakshatkar or self realisation is the meaning of yog.Only a GURU knows our capabilities and takes us forward as he  knows our strengths and weaknesses.Its a wrong conception that when we are in yog,we need to leave things or follow a specific diet.Yoga does not follow any diet or ritual.You can eat anything,drink anything,go out,have fun....coz as you progress on the path of yog anything which is heavy for you will automatically leave you.You are never forced to leave anything infact on the contrary on the path of yog you enjoy everything and rise above it after experiencing it under Guru sanidhya. But for that it is important to follow the agya of GURU and follow on the path of yog with niyam as every word of GURU is a mantra for a shishya . "Mantra Moolam Guru Vaky...

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.

Beauty lies within you

Most of us spend our time either making ourselves look beautiful or getting things that make us look good. But does it really help?  Even a person who has been pampering herself/himself from his/her early age, will too eventually look old after a period of time. So then what is beauty? Beauty is not just the outer appearance but the inner self. Beautiful is the one whose thoughts are divine and the one who helps others selflessly. Infact, outside is only a reflection of the inside. When a person glows from inside, the outer glow and attraction comes automatically.Thoughts play a major role in making the person what s/he is- as what you think you eventually become as the energy follows thoughts   The secret of beauty and glow does not lie in beauty parlours, but within you. To preserve the life force in you and to look beautiful start with 'sanatan kriya.'

Watch your thought.

Close your eyes.Sit in silence and see what happens.When you sit in silence with yourself for sometime,you would see a number of thoughts coming in your mind and if you observe youl find that these thoughts do not come from within you.They are already there in the surroundings, every thought that we get has already been created so the thoughts are merely "caught" by us. We do not create any new thoughts. Thoughts are very powerful. Thoughts are so powerful that if not taken care of can damage the environment too and in a big way. Nuclear bomb was just a thought in the beginning and see its impact today.Its very important to ensure the purity of  thought and see that most of our thoughts are for the benefit of the people..A GURU ensures that most of the thoughts have a positive effect and are helpful for the creation when you hold his hand. Lets all understand the importance of thoughts and make the best use of this tool to aid the positive forces of the creation...

Service and Charity

How many of us know the real meaning of service and charity? A human being of today, is a selfish being who is more interested in himself than others.We forget that most of our problems arise because of this nature of ours.The day we start thinking about others before ourselves,we would all be free of most of our problems. Its always a great feeling to help others and be of some help when they need you. Its always been said whatever you give always comes back to you.If you do charity in terms of money,there would never be any money problems for that person.If its been done with food,that person shall never be devoid of food and when the charity is done in the form of gyan,gyan always flows to that person.And this gyan is never understood unless you are under the sanidhya of a GURU.A GURU would always guide you on the right path and by the way of service and charity would help you improve your karmas which help you in your journey of life. The concept of service and charity is the most ...

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...

Shanti-- we need it the most today

Ever wondered why do we like to be in company of few and why do we stay away from others? Its simple.we always want to be in company of people who are positive,who always talk good with lots of positive energy and definetly stay away from people who would make the entire enviornment negative...These are the people who are ashant by nature and thus they make the surroundings also very negative.Its very important to think positive and do good to all the people we can..sometimes by just thinking good for others gives us so much of shanti that we feel happy from inside.The problem with most of us today is we all have become selfish and self centred. Everyone of us is interested only in ones own problems, own interests and in our personal needs. But we do not realise that unless the surroundings we are in and the people around us are not happy and shant,we cannot be in peace.We need to help people around us selflessly and thus inturn we are blessed with lots of peace and happiness and ...

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 ...

lets know chakras

A human being is a combination of various physical an etheric layers.In the etheric layers are a set of energy centers called chakras,the whirling pool of concentrated energy.each and every cell has a chakra associated to it.They throw out used prana when they move outwards an pull in fresh prana when they move inwards.There are 7 major chakras. Mooladhar,the first chakra from bottom controls the basic instincts like food,shelter,desire an survival.The colour has been observed from dark brown to golden brown.Swadhishtan is the next chakra which controls the sexual desires at lower level.Its colour is observed as dark orange to whitish orange.The next chakra at the navel is Manipoorak whose quality is power.The colour associated is mustardish brown to saffron.The next chakra called Anahat chakra is the seat of human love.It represents kindness and selfless love and is observed as violet and whitish pink.The next chakra Vishuddhi around the throat pit is the seat of higher creativity, ...

Lets learn from the sun

SUN-ever wondered what gives it that magnificent glow, magnetism and attraction? What would it possibly have, that everything revolves around it?and every single day we see the same ageless sun shining in all its glory.Sun is the highest form of energy in our solar system. This is the energy which is used by plants and stored as food.We humans often take the sun's energy for granted, yet it rises every single morning, lighting up so many lives.It  does its responsibility effectively and tirelessly, yet does not ask anything in return. We humans,on the on the other hand, have become so selfish that even before we do a small action, we first look at the "returns" we would get and see to it that we make the most of it. A true Yogi too is like a Sun, whose only motive in life is to benefit the people and work for evolution and creation and thus he exudes the same magnificent radiance.We all must learn from the sun- how to lead a selfless life- where you live to give and expec...

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 sooner ... the better

What is the right age to begin yog? One of the common thought processes is- Yog is pursued when all "worldly duties" are over and when you have achieved whatever you thought needs to be, but this is a misconception. This is because each one of us is born with a limited reserve of energy, once you expend this energy there is no way to replenish it. But here we see Maya( lord vishnu's most potent tool, used to run the creation) at play. Maya has maximum grip during the early years of life and slowly towards the fag end of ones life it loosens its grip, but by then it is too late. The body no longer has the strength, the senses become dull and slowly one loses control over his/her own body. At this stage the body(vehicle) becomes unfit to undertake the ultimate journey of the spirit- Yog. Thus, the right age or inclination never arrives for most. Yog is a spiritual journey. It has nothing to do with the age of an individual. It is a misconception that Yog is for the old...

Exploring the real happiness...

For everything we do we always expect something in return. Some could argue that it is quite natural to have these expectations. But if you look closely you will find these expectations are a major cause of unhappiness in life and all it leads to is emotional congestion.The minute we expect something, we make ourselves so weak that if it is not fulfilled we are shattered. Does our happiness really depend on someone or something else? To experience true happiness all you need to do is start doing service and charity without any expectation. Any work done without expecting something in return or anything given without asking for a favour always improves ones karmas. This opens the doors to many internal joys for a person. Let us all start thinking beyond our own self and explore the joy within. 

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...
