Yogi Ashwini from Delhi believes that yoga means integration of the mind and body with the universe and one can be in the moment without actually meditating.
In conversation with NT BUZZ he shared his thoughts on yoga, positive thinking and his new book on anti-ageing
Ageing may be a natural process, but it is in our hands to control it. This is possible with the help of yoga and ayurveda. But, if you thought yoga is only about asanas then think again for according to Delhi-based yoga guru, Yogi Ashwini you are mistaken.
He is of the opinion that, “There are no asanas in yoga. It is all about connection or integration of all aspects of the mind with the body.”
He is now ready with his latest book, ‘Sanatan Kriya - The Ageless Dimension’ that will speak about issues of ageing and remedies to arrest it. He says, “We are the reflection of one cell. The day the baby is born and takes its first breath, the process of ageing sets in. Every breath results in the production of energy and the equal and opposite effect is the ageing of the cell due to the production of toxins, called ‘ama’ in ayurveda.”
His book will list kriyas, tonics and ayurvedic remedies which he has compiled after 20 years of research. “These are the remedies our rishis discovered. Due to this they could maintain their glow till their last breath,” he adds.
He also suggests that ageing is directly related to our thought process. “Ageing is connected to our thought process and is basically reduction of our five senses. Today people who are in their 30s have lost sense of smell and those in their 20s, the sense of touch. These senses are directly related to the emotion of love,” he observes.
He states that a lot of it depends on our breath. The faster we breathe the faster we age. Thus, he is against any physical form of exercise. “The law of physics is that every action has equal and opposite reaction. Thus, when we exert our body through jogging or running, along with the positive effects we are also creating an equal amount of toxins, which are bad for our body,” he explains.
Regarding positive thinking he says that thought is one of the aspects of the body. “There is a way to have a thought process. If the way is not right then thought will not work,” he adds.
On the point of meditation he maintains that the right word is ‘dhyaan.’ “Dhyaan is being in the moment, but mediation is focusing on one point,” he opines.
Elaborating further about yoga he stresses, “Yoga is about increasing the body’s efficiency and it is a comprehensive technique. You don’t have to force your body for that.”
He adds, “Yoga is the ultimate science. There is only one asana mentioned that is Sukham Stiram Asan. It means stability and peace. It is upgradation of energy, which could be done with the help of a guru, and you have to choose your guru.”
He says that one can connect to the natural resources around us, but for that one needs to have a guru. So how can one get the right guru? “Improve your karma to get the right guru,” he concludes.
