वैदिक संस्कृति की परिकल्पना आज से हज़ारो वर्षो पूर्व वैदिक ऋषियों द्वारा की गई थी , जिनका सृष्टिकर्ता के साथ सीधा संपर्क था। महर्षि वेद व्यास जी ने समाज में होने वाले अपकर्ष और संस्कृति पर आने वाले संकट का पूर्वानुमान लगाते हुए वेदों के ज्ञान को पुराणों के माध्यम से हमें 5000 वर्षो पूर्व लिखित रूप में दिया। इन सब पुराणों में ,श्रीमद देवी भागवत में विभिन्न युगों सतयुग ,त्रेतायुग , द्वापरयुग ,कलियुग की विस्तार से व्याख्या की गई है। इस लेख के अनुसार जो मनुष्य धर्म का पालन करते हैं वे सतयुग में जन्म लेते हैं। जिनकी प्रीति धर्म और अर्थ (भौतिक सम्पन्नता ) दोनों में है वे त्रेतायुग में जन्म लेते हैं। जो धर्म, अर्थ और काम (इच्छाएं) तीनो में प्रीती रखते हैं वे द्वापर में जन्म लेते हैं तथा जो सिर्फ अर्थ और काम में लिप्त होते हैं वे कलयुग में जन्म लेते हैं। अत: सतयुग में योग-ज्ञान था, त्रेता में ध्यान के माध्यम से ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ। द्वापर युग में कर्म प्रधान हुआ और श्री कृष्ण ने गीता के माध्यम से निष्काम कर्म सिखाया। प्रत्येक प्राणी की सहायता अनासक्त होकर करना वर्तमान कलियुग का यो...

A common thought that prevails over most people in the 30s and 40s is how not to put on weight. With increasing age, the metabolic processes of the body become sluggish and there is a decrease in physical activity. In such a situation a person engaged day-in- and-day- out in the pursuit of five senses and collection for himself, starts to gain weight and falls prey to the myriad diseases linked with an obese body. Ill-informed and desperate, he cuts down on certain components of the diet arbitrarily or consults a dietician. A dietician, too, only understands the physical aspect of body and in most cases, prescribes reducing the fat component of diet.The physical body or annamaya kosha is defined in ayurveda as ‘Dosha dhatu mala mool hi shariram’, i.e., the body is composed of doshas, dhatus and malas. These three factors direct and manipulate the physical manifestation of the body, for the body is the site of manifestation of consciou...

Yog is a perfect science that deals in all aspects of creation, not just the physically manifested creation (vyakt) that you see around you but also the unmanifest creation (avyakt). Human being becomes a part of the vyakt as well as avyakt. From avyakt vyakt manifests and both are two parts of the same composite whole.  The siddhis and experiences of yog are real and so is the gyan of the yog sutras, tried and time-tested over thousands of year. With the efforts of the Honorable Prime Minister this phenomenal science has been marked on the world calendar. The need of the hour is to practice it in totality under a guru, as given by the vedic seer.  Let us pick up a basic aspect of healing and health of human body.  For a basic experience of the power and efficacy of the Vedic sciences and their effect on the body, one may start with practice of Sanatan Kriya, which is simple to do and can be easily incorporated in modern lifestyle, and whose ...

A guru has the phenomenal potential of taking you beyond, not just from the pains and miseries of life but beyond yourself. In Vedic philosophy the highest place and regard is given to the energy called guru. The guru is not a physical being; guru is the energy, considered even higher than para brahma, the Divine Consciousness. For a sadhak (practitioner), guru is the Divine incarnated. Guru’s shakti (force) is not limited, as the energy is anant (endless) and akhand (expansive). A shishya should always consider the word spoken by his guru as a mantra. Only those who are blessed can see beyond the egoistic perception of the limited senses and not use the mind to make the mistake of assessing this energy, for what is unlimited cannot be assessed by a limited mind. Guru Purnima holds the highest place in the yogic philosophy, for it is the day when the guru’s force is at full bloom and is very easily accessible. Just like full moon when the moon’s magnetism is at its height, similarly...

Vedic rishis were masters of the physical and the spiritual, super beings who controlled prakriti and all its manifestations. The physical body comprising of five mahabhutas (elements) had been completely mastered by them. From the masters of the Vedic era to the present-day doctors of modern and alternative medicine, all are engaged in finding a solution to stop, or at least, slow down the body clock. Many, on realising that they are ageing, lose their mental balance. A lot accept it as the inevitable. Some get stressed and fearful, and it is these vulnerable people who fall prey to business-minded companies selling anti-ageing creams, tonics, rejuvenating serums, which at best camouflage symptoms, addressing just the periphery while the core goes unnoticed. With time, the core emerges revealing facts, but by then precious years have been lost and the damage is by then irreversible. It is normal to age...but for normal people. Ageing is a phenomenon of dulling of the senses...

What is yoga? Simply put, it is being in union with something. In that sense, one may choose to be in yoga with fashion, with beauty, or with a sport . But none of these makes a person a yogi. To embark on the path a yogi travels, you need to go through a certain experience, which will bring you face to face with what is called atma sakshatkar , your true self. Once you come face to face with your true self, you are in yoga, and once you are in yoga with yourself, you are a yogi. A rakshas (demon) undergoes enormous tapah (penance) to impress God. When God finally appears before him to grant him the desired boon, what does the rakshas ask for? Immortality, riches, pleasures… Why? Kyonki woh apni yoni se bandha hua hai because he is constrained by his karmic protocol of being born into an order of being that is demonic — he cannot understand a world beyond that, so he cannot ask for more than that. He is bound by his desires, he needs certain experiences so he asks f...

If you recall the episode from Ramayana, you will find that Ravan appeared to be invincible despite repeated attacks by Rama, and was killed only when Rama pierced his navel with an arrow. The navel corresponds to the seat of power in the body, the Manipoorak Chakra, that makes up for any weakness and directly controls the digestive system in the body. Ayurveda maintains that death begins in the colon and the modern science agrees with this fact. Hence, in order to ensure a long and healthy life, it is of utmost importance to keep the colon healthy. Realising this, today the market is flooded with various techniques and equipment to ensure the same. One of these is the hydrocolon therapy. The therapy with the aid of certain instruments washes the intestines with saline water to flush the toxins out of the system. However, being a synthetic process it entails certain side-effects such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, discomfort, cramps and infection. During the hydrocolon th...

If you visit any of the “spiritual centres” in India today, you will find these “shops” selling innovative and, at times, unrecognizable forms of yoga and Vedic sciences. I recently visited one such place and was amazed to read the promises made on the boards that hung outside. The streets were filled with aspirants from all over the world who were eager to learn the ancient Vedic sciences and it was pitiable to see what we had to offer to them in return. The place I visited was the tapobhoomi of some great yogis and rishis, and their ashrams are still there. Right outside one such ashram there was a huge garbage dump where stray animals were feeding on plastic and toxins, saffron-clad men sat at the side of the road and struck deals with the tourists for a spiritual experience. If those evolved souls were to visit their own ashrams today, they sure would be relieved that they left long back... At the Maha Kumbh underway at Prayag, another spiritual centre where dro...

Our coming generations have a strong western bias and firmly believe that the vedic culture is mumbo-jumbo, and that there is no science behind the worship and rituals. I would like to present certain facts about the efficacy and the global acceptability of the vedic principles to the younger generation. Recently, I came across the diary of Sir Cunningham at the national archives. He had sketched out a calf and a cow on the third page of the diary and discussed the scientific and logical benefits of preserving this animal. One can find references to the cow across cultures. The Egyptians worshipped her as Hathor, the goddess of fertility, while those from this side of the Indus called her the Kamdhenu and Nandi. The Greeks knew her as Lo and the Nordics as Audhumbla, the primeval cow who licked ice and brought mankind into existence. So, what is it about the cow that caused it to be revered across cultures and also caught the attention of the learned archaeologist? The cow is in...

Each one of us has a corresponding star, from where we have come and where we return to after every birth. We are a reflection of that unique star. With every passing moment, the heat of the stars is reducing. Every new birth, every new year, every new day, every new hour marks a reduction in the energy of your star. Your energy, the energy of your star, the energy of the sun and the energy of the creation are reducing despite the fact that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This energy is simply changing form. That is why the form of human being today is not the same as what it was 500 years ago and the form of humans back then was not the same as the form of rishis 5,000 years ago (heat then was much more than it is now). This is the reason why the wisdom of the Vedic seers has been eroded in the present age, as there is hardly anyone who possesses the heat to receive, understand and act upon that wisdom. (In my book The Ageless Dimension , I explain kriyas through which...

Sound or ‘ dhwani ’ is said to have originated from the ‘damru’ of Lord Shiva. It is said that every perceivable and unperceivable object in the Universe has a corresponding sound. Sound, the first perceivable dimension of the physical creation originates from a layer so subtle that a normal human mind would not be able to comprehend that force. Prana is the force that pervades the Universe. Manifested in different forms it makes itself perceivable. ‘Mata Adi Shakti’ manifested as the Trinity for the purpose of physical creation. The first physical manifestation after the Trinity was in the form of sound. ‘Om’ (Aum) was the first sound and it came out of the damru of Lord Shiva. Divided into four parts (a-u-m and silence) it represents the journey of the spirit. Before sound, i.e. Creation, there was eternal sil...
