BEATING ANXIETY AND STRESS......THE VEDIC WAY

Have you wondered why we like being with some people and why we want to stay away from some? 

The reason is simple, anyone who is calm and at peace, or shant creates a serenity around and people feel good in such a person’s company and those who are disturbed, stressed , anxious or ashant create the same disturbance around them thereby giving signals to people to stay away.The difference is the difference in positive and negative vibrations.  

The frequency of the waves that a person radiates directly affect his immediate environment, and the Creation at large and as an equal and opposite reaction the state of the person also gets affected by his/her immediate environment. Thus, a person who is troubled, stressed, anxious would spread disturbances into his surroundings, and as its effect he would in turn get more and more disturbed; a vicious circle… and all this would have a chaotic and cumulative effect on the whole environment.  

The above clearly tells us as to why the present state of the world is what it is today. We, the selfish beings of today cannot think beyond ourselves and just want peace for the self, failing to understand that if there is disturbance around us how can we ever be peaceful!  


But our Vedic rishis had realised that being at peace is possible only if there is peace all around us. They showed us the way to have complete peace, complete shanti, which is not just being at peace with ourselves but to have peace all round ­they gave us the beautiful Shanti path. When you are chanting this mantra you are praying that — first there should be peace in the universe, then our mother earth, then the plant kingdom should be at peace, the herbs and medicines should be at peace, the gods around, and Lord Brahma should be at peace. We should be at peace like all of them. There should be shanti all around.  

You can also experience the power of shanti or peace even in this day and age through the Sanatan Kriya and Vedic Havans.
  Here I am giving a simple technique from Sanatan Kriya.
  •          Sit in a comfortable position preferably cross legged on the floor.
  •          Closing your eyes pay reverence to your Guru.
  •       Gently inhale and exhale such that your breathing takes on a soft rhythmic   movement.
  •         Then take your awareness to your Anahad chakra (the chest region).       Become aware of the entire Creation in front of you. Feel one with the whole Creation and then chant the Shanti path. (for correct uccharan of this mantra visit www.dhyanfoundation.com) 
  •           You can repeat this mantra seven times.
  •        When you get up (make sure you get up very slowly after paying reverence  to your Guru) you will carry the peaceful vibrations not only inside you but also around you.
  
         VEDIC HAVAN
         
            Vedic havans, which are routinely conducted by sadhaks at Dhyan Ashram are     also very powerful means to experience what peace actually is.
          To perform a Vedic Havan:
  •     Take a copper bowl/kund, put some cow dung cake in it along with sesame and guggul. 
  •     Light fire using camphor and give oblations of ghee from a desi cow while   chanting the mantras.     
  •      You may also acquire a ready ­to­ do ­havan kit from Dhyan Ashram.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

By
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...
