Sabrina Dutta and Yogi Ashwini: Yoga is necessary for evolution


Soft-skills consultant and a modern day Yogi discuss about spirituality, yoga and more...

Sabrina Dutta: I’ve heard a lot about your IMA (Indian Medical Association) event in Mumbai. Could you tell us about it?

Yogi Ashwini: I was invited by IMA, Mumbai, where over 1,000 people came for the event. We made the students perform different asanas and found that after an hour, the heart rate fell by 15 to 20 counts. Doctors and the public at large, needed to be told what true yoga is all about. What is your belief?

SD: I am a strong believer of Shirdi Sai Baba and I feel my health complications seem to have miraculously vanished too. I consider it to be a miracle and am still awed by the thought of it.

Yogi Ashwini: That’s amazing to hear! There are a lot of people who ask me if health complications can be cured through yoga. However, yoga can complement medical science but does not heal nor cure diseases. Yoga is necessary for our evolution.

SD: That’s true. There are always such misconceptions about yoga and meditation. So, tell us a little about your family life?

Yogi Ashwini: I am married and have two children. A lot of people ask me if it’s difficult to manage spiritual life and family side. There have been times when I’ve hardly got any time to spend with them. However, I seemed to have managed it and definitely, my family is a priority. So, tell me a little about what you do...

SD: I am into event management and soft skills consultant by profession. I’ve been training a lot of corporate companies and hotel firms on communication skills and basic etiquette. So, you’ve spoken a lot about your spiritual side and gave a glimpse of your family life as well. In a nutshell, tell us who Yogi Ashwini is?
Yogi Ashwini: That’s a good question, but tough one to answer (laughs). Well, Yogi is the reflection of Guru. Merging the guru and I as a person is what Yogi Ashwini is all about.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...

Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun. The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras. Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through...
