The Cause Of Problems


The final phase of kaliyug will witness only pain, and the process has already begun. If you look around, you will see that everyone is unhappy and in pain. The source of pain may be a physical ailment, emotional problem, financial loss or relationship problem, but we are all looking for solutions.
At Dhyan Ashram, we come across so many cases of people being fooled into buying weird products and practices to solve their life problems, only to land in bigger troubles. Recently someone wrote to me reporting that she had taken diksha of some strange vidya from a gentleman to gain success in her business but after receiving the vidya, the opposite happened — she suffered a major financial setback and is now looking for someone to teach her some other vidya to get her out of her present problems.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and, in such times, we tend to lock our common sense in the cupboard. Think about it; how can someone who is himself dependent on the fee you pay him to buy his next meal possibly rid you of your financial problems? The doctors from whom you take assurance for your health does not know himself if he will live the next moment.
The truth is that there is nothing such as a solution. All your life problems are a result of your own actions. The cause for your present suffering is the pain you inflicted upon some animal, plant or human at an earlier time. You are tied to your present state because of your past karmas, and your present actions tie you to your next birth. Your guru tells you how to untie these bonds and go beyond.
Every religion talks about karmas, yet we all ignore them when it comes to our selfish gains. Resorting to black magic and other such things will only drag us deeper into the mess, as we will end up paying for it in some other way. The law of karma cannot be escaped, so let us learn how to accept it and lead a happy life.

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...
