The solar secret of our cells

YOGI ASHWINI. Isn’t it amazing to see that even teenagers today are suffering from premature graying and resorting to lacing their bodies with chemical-based cosmetics in a bid to make their face glow and hair shine? On the other hand, our rishis of yore not only had a great physique but also had glowing complexions, shiny mane and a healthy body till the very end; they did not age. What was it that they did, that was so different? Had they found the fountain of youth? In truth they simply understood the principles that govern the creation. The good news is that they have left this reservoir of gyan on anti-ageing in the form of yogic techniques like the Sanatan Kriya, the practice of which brings a being in harmony with nature. To understand the process of ageing, we must start from the cell. The body (during its inception) for the first half-an-hour is just one cell; so actually all of us in those 30 minutes are just one cell and then that one cell multiplies forming the whole body. ...

The power of agni

Agni, fire, is the first word of the Rig Veda. According to ayurveda, the various agnis in the body are at constant work, burning body fuel and along with it the body’s resources. For example, in the process of converting food into energy, the internal chemical processes affect the body’s internal organs. The heavier the food, the more the resources required to burn it and convert it into energy, and the more the body ages. In a similar way, fast breathing, sexual acts, anger, attachment, greed, violence, sorrow and various kinds of indulgences lead to intense processing of thoughts, which utilise the body’s resources and engage the various agnis resulting in ageing. So, is there a way to make these agnis shaant, to calm these “fires”, slowing down ageing, regaining balance and  tuning oneself to the subtler frequencies? The answer lies in performing Vedic havans, which are done on a large scale at Dhyan Ashram. Fire is an element that can never be polluted. In fact, ...

Vedic treasure of beauty and health

Yogi Ashwini’s latest book, Sanatan Kriya, The Ageless Dimension, explains the process of ageing in the human body and critically examines this process. The book provides remedies for arresting the ageing process and maintaining that youthful look till your last breath. It gives techniques to prolong life, and gives recipes for a diet to combat the process of ageing. Certain rare rasayans (chemicals) for rejuvenating the body and maintaining its youth are also discussed. Techniques and kriyas for promoting longevity and youthful looks from Shiv Samhita, Gherand Samhita, Charak Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and other ancient, near-extinct texts, are also there. The book explains in detail the complex process of ageing in all the layers of the body, and provides remedies and solutions to combat this. Yogi Ashwini firmly believes that if the rishis of yesteryears could go on for so long, and maintain their youth and glow till the end to leave the body in full consciousness and awa...

Journey of the Soul

YOGI ASHWINI Soul is a unique pranic frequency. In unmanifested form it exists as part of Para Brahma just as salt exists in ocean. Only when it desires a certain experience or a set of experiences does it choose to go through the cycle of karmas, birth and death. The basic reason or the root cause of the soul separating from the source is ego that recognises one’s existence as an individual. The ancients called it “asmita”, or “I”. This was the first step we took when we separated ourselves from the Divine Consciousness, which is Sukshma-iti-Sukshma, subtlest of the subtle, the unmanifested. Ego led the soul to realise that it is an individual and so came into existence the jeevatma. The individual consciousness combined with chitta forms jeevatma. Chitta or chetna is all pervading and resides in each one of us as buddhi. Buddhi is unlimited mind. It has the potential to become once again unlimited from the limited but it remains shadowed by manas the sheath, which blurs its vi...

The full moon night of Holi

YOGI ASHWINI The entire creation is nothing but a manifestation of energy. Every object of creation, all lokas (dimensions of existence) and yugas (dimensions of time) exist in energy forms. Interestingly, life exists only on planet earth, and various dimensions, which exist as a part of the etheric world, can be experienced and accessed only from here. Our culture talks about the existence of thousands of gods and goddesses, so if the supreme god is one and formless, one does tend to ask what these forms called gods actually are. All the objects in the universe — sun, moon, planets, stars — are divine energies going through a process of transformation. All these bodies may seem like objects to us, but they are doing their karmas. Though Param Brahma is the actual source of energy, every aspect of the physical creation is looked after by an energy specifically programmed to control it. This explains the existence of demigods or different forms of god. The movements of the earth change ...

The secret of a long youth

YOGI ASHWINI Agelessness and longevity have captured the interest of Masters across civilisations for eons. Anjana Rajguru spoke to Yogi Ashwini, a Living Master and the Guiding Light of Dhyan Foundation, to understand the secrets of anti-ageing of the Vedic seers as revealed in his new book Sanatan Kriya—The Ageless Dimension. In an age where people are sceptical about the credentials of a true guru, how does one differentiate between a fake and a true guru? Guru should exude what he talks and reflect the glow and attraction that is associated with yog. If you yourself look like a stick or are obese, if you do not have control over your own body, how can you talk about powers of the creation? The first limb of Patanjali Ashtang Yog is the five yamas—satya, asteya, aparigraha, brahmacharya, and ahimsa. A person who is selling yog to amass wealth and power for himself falls short of the first three yamas; he cannot be a yogi. Likewise a person who calls himself a brahmachar...

Young and wise

Yogi Ashwini, in his book Sanatan Kriya, The Ageless Dimension, talks about how to stay young the natural way. ndian 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...
