What is the ultimate goal of life?

"The ultimate goal is very individualistic. For someone it may be not wanting anything, somebody just wants to make money, for someone else goal of life may be to have fun, party and enjoy life. So all of us depending on our state of evolution have a goal, every individual's needs and requirements are different depending on the level of evolution that's why each one looks different. So the goal of life is individualistic. That's why I say it is pointless to come to me if your goal is any of the 5 senses, don't come to me, nothing will happen. Come to me only if the goal of your life is over and above this, then I can take you somewhere."- Yogi Ashwini http://dhyanfoundation-quotes.blogspot.in/

Purpose Of Life

  "The purpose of life is simply to experience what you have desired. This desire could be anything- desire to have a particular sweet 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. In Yog, we do not suppress any desire, we go beyond it. Your Guru makes you experience your desires but at the same time allows you to go over them. So while you are experiencing them simultaneously you are going beyond. A yogi can have any physical desire manifested by simply a thought but he does not do so because he has found a still higher pleasure. It is something like when you are given a better quality sweet then why would you go for something of lesser quality. Don’t forget that apart from the 5 senses there are subtler senses and higher worlds that can be accessed, but for that you need to begin Yog. Let me tell you with certainty, tha...

"Me first"

"When you were born, for the first half an hour, you were just one cell. Of the millions of sperms that are released by the male organ, all die save one. It is this sperm which fertilizes the egg. Ask the doctors how you get this body, they will tell you that the sperm merges with the egg and fertilization occurs. Then after a series of stages a cyst is formed that gets embedded in the uterus and further development takes place - placenta is formed, it gives way to an embryo and then after 9 months the baby is born. Ask them trace the life events of this baby, they'll tell you about development of reflexes, of growth, of education, marriage… Ask them what next? Weakening of cells, old age and finally death. So, out of the millions of sperms that were born, just one survived only to die a few decades later. The sperm that came first, the one that beat them all, even that perished eventually. This is the truth of life.  Our basic nature is like that sperm only, that ...

Yoga and Sex

Yogi Ashwini Yoga as given by Sage Patanjali is ‘Chitt vritti nirodh’ — stilling thoughts of desires so that the vision becomes clear. This doesn’t imply suppression of desires. Suppression amounts to violence, antagonistic to the very basic of the five niyams, ahimsa. Brahmrishi Vishwamitra at the final stages of his sadhna had to resume a life of a householder because his soul had evaded the experience of sexual gratification. This was hampering his final exit. It is NOT taboo to give in to sexual desire. If you look back in history, most of the rishis used to have multiple wives. While we deem ourselves to be ‘forward’, we cave in when it comes to addressing such issues. However, our ancestors were well ahead of even our times. Not only did they acknowledge this urge in man, but they also provided for it in the organisation of the society. As per the Vedic philosophy, for a man to complete his journey; it was imperative to go through the four parts of life — dharma, a...

SUGGESTIONS...ANYONE?

The vedic seers were one with nature. They had realized the sloka, aham brahmasmi, that is, I am brahma. It might appear to be an egoistic statement to some, but herein lay the gyan of creation. To realize this statement is what is evolution. To be brahma is to be one with everything in the creation. It is a state where everything in creation is a part of you – the cow who ha s been converted into a milk machine, the farmer who was duped into growing bt cotton and committed suicide, the dog who was run down by a lorry driver, the girl child who was denied the right to live, the vulture who fed on cattle infested with diclofenac, the inhabitants of Fukushima, the marine life at Gulf of Mexico that was choked by the oil spill, your next door neighbor who cannot sleep because you have a party at home and the future generations who will only see green earth in their history textbooks if we do not wake up soon. Evolution is not the morphing of a monkey into a man or talking big. As Yogi As...

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...

Young And Wise

Yogi Ashwini, in his book Sanatan Kriya, The Ageless Dimension, talks about how to stay young the natural way. Indian culture is nearly a million year old and it has much following in the western world, but sadly, our own youth is increasingly becoming disconnected with it. To turn the wheel around, Yogi Ashwini stresses that it’s time we reached out to our roots. “Try doing that and see the phenomenal effects,” he says. In Chandigarh for the book launch of Sanatan Kriya, The Ageless Dimension, Yogi Ashwini says, “When one looks around, it’s the mechanical, superficial life that hits one in the face. For youthful looks, people are undergoing laser as well as silicon implants that do the body more harm than good.” Yogi’s book brings the wisdom of the Vedas and the latest from the medical world together. Divided in 16 chapters, this book deals with the harmful effects of the present lifestyle and on how to tackle that. “The book has kriyas, one of them called Kaya Kalp Kriya, t...
