DHYAN FOUNDATION

In this series, we have been discussing asans for giving the desired shape to the body. I would like to warn the reader that yog is not about twisting and turning your body or breathing abnormally, it does not tie you to any particular religion, ritual, lifestyle or diet. Yog sets you free and this can definitely not be given by one who is himself tied in the bondage of maya and charges a fee/favours from you. Hence any Yogic practice needs to be done under the Guidance of a Guru and there is no monetary or material exchange between the Guru and the Shishya. Asans when performed correctly activate the higher centers of the brain as a result of which a practitioner can change their physical form as per their desire. One attains complete control over the five senses and the physical body. Many such demonstrations have been given by practitioners at Dhyan Ashram and are documented and validated by the medical fraternity. Note:  While performing asans ensure that you ar...

ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਚੇਤਨ, ਅਚੇਤ ਤੇ ਅਵਚੇਤਨ ਮਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਤਿੰਨ ਅਵਸਥਾਵਾਂ ਹਨ। ਪਰ ਇਨਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਉਤਾਂਹ ਇਕ ਚੌਥੀ ਪਰਮ-ਚੇਤਨ ਅਵਸਥਾ ‘ਤੁਰਇਆ’ ਵੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਮਾਨਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ। ਚਿੰਤਨ (ਮੈਡੀਟੇਸ਼ਨ) ਦੀ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਚੇਤਨ ਮਨ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।ਇਸ ਵਿਚ ‘ਪਰੱਤਿਆਏ'(ਕੇਂਦਰੀ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ) ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ।ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਅਕਾਰਮਈ ਭੌਤਿਕ ਚੀਜ਼ ‘ਤੇ ਸੁਰਤ ਕੇਂਦਰਤ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹੋ ਤੇ ਇਸਦੇ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਹੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚਣ ਦਾ ਯਤਨ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ।ਪਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਸਫਲ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹੋ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਜਦੋ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਸਰੂਪ ‘ਤੇ ਸੁਰਤ ਕੇਂਦਰਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਪੰਜ ਇੰਦਰੀਆਂ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਰਹਿੰਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਹਾਲਤ ਵਿਚ ਦਿਮਾਗ ਅੰਦਰਲੇ Yogi Ashwini, guiding light of Dhyan Foundation ਨਿਊਰੌਨ ਬਿੰਬ ਸਿਰਜਦੇ ਨੇ ਤੇ ਨਤੀਜਨ ਪੰਜ ਇੰਦਰੀਆਂ ਸਥਿਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹਿੰਦੀਆਂ। ਦਰਅਸਲ ਇਸ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਚਿੰਤਨ ਕਿਸੇ ਸਥੂਲ ਸਰੂਪ ‘ਤੇ ਹੀ ਕੇਂਦਰਤ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਾਂ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਅਸਲੀਅਤ ਤੋਂ ਪਰਾਂ ਹੀ ਕਹਾਂਗਾ।ਇਹ ਦਿਨੇ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਲੈਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਹੈ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਅਰਧਚੇਤਨਤਾ ਦੀ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਵਿਚ ਚਲੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋ।ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਪਰਿਕਲਪਨਾ ਦੇ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਹੂੰਦੇ ਹਨ।ਜੀਵਨ ਵਿਚ ਖੁਲ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜੋ ਕੁੱਝ ਵੀ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਹੋਵੇ, ਅ ਕਿਤ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਕੁੱਝ ਸਮੇਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਕਲਪਨਾ ਵਿਚ ਰਲ-ਮਿਲ ਕੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਦਿਸਣ ਲੱਗ ਜਾਂ...

संपूर्ण सृष्टि का आधार प्राण शक्ति है, जो सर्व व्यापक जीवन-शक्ति है । सभी कुछ – सजीव और निर्जीव, प्राण से ही बना है. यहाँ तक की हमारे शरीर को बनाने वाले पांच महाभूत -पृथ्वी, जल, अग्नि , वायु और आकाश भी इसी प्राण से निर्मित हैं । ये पांच तत्व भिन्न भिन्न परम्युटेशन व कॉम्बिनेशन में, सृष्टि की प्रत्येक वस्तु का निर्माण करते हैं । इन्ही तत्वों के कारण एक मनुष्य दुसरे से भिन्न है, एक स्त्री सुन्दर दिखती है तो दूसरी नहीं, यही तत्व एक स्वस्थ व्यक्ति को एक रोगी से भिन्न करते हैं । इन तत्वों के संयोजन से पाँच महाप्राण हमारे स्थूल शरीर के विभिन्न कार्यों का सञ्चालन करते हैं और इन्हें हम मुद्राओं द्वारा सरलता से नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं। पाँचों तत्वों का अलग-अलग उंगलियों के साथ संबंध होने के कारण हम अपनी इच्छा अनुसार किसी भी तत्त्व को अपने शरीर में बढ़ा या घटा सकते हैं। ये तत्त्व हमारे चक्रों से संचालित हैं जो स्थूल शरीर को नियंत्रित करते हैं । पांच महाप्राण ध्यान क्रिया से पूर्व यह समझना आवश्यक है कि मानव शरीर में इन तत्त्वों का सञ्चालन कैसे किया जा सकता है है और किस प्रकार से इनका उपयो...

Yoga is the science of entire creation. Sun, moon, earth, water, sky, fire as well as human body are various aspects of creation, yoga is the sum total of it all. What is the force that powers the various aspects of creation, that makes them function, that is the subject of yoga. When you do yoga under a guru, you start interacting with these various elements and forces and slowly you become one with them. Take for instance the five elements. We know the body is made up of the five elements, yet we cannot see them. As you do higher practices of yoga, you begin to realize all these in your body and understand their basis. Then the elements listen to you and follow you. You are able to interact with them and affect changes in the body using them. The science of yoga unfolds in stages, first through elements, then consciousness and finally, divinity. Yoga is often mistaken as a healing system of the body. Actually, it is not a healing science, it is the sum total of yam, niyam...

Sun salutation, the ancient yoga technique is considered to be a complete workout for the body affecting all the five layers from the physical to the etheric. Few of its benefits include improving blood circulation of the body, strengthening the skeletal system, making the body flexible, reducing anxiety, calming the mind, and maintaining health of your skin and hair. After completing the four asans of the  Surya   Namaskar  that we discussed in the previous article you may now preform the remaining asans as given below. Parvatasana (mountain pose):  From the Ashwa Sanchalanasana, gently take right foot behind beside the left foot while exhaling. Simultaneously, raise your hips placing both palms flat on the floor. Bring your head between the arms, so that the body forms a triangle. Keep both arms and leg straight in the final position, with your heels placed firmly on the ground and spine straight. Ashtanga Namaskara (salute with eight parts or points): ...

Yogi Ashwini points out the various ways by which the concept of power yoga is harmful to the body and lists the beneficial ones. Yog is a practical subject the results of practices are tangible and physical. These days one hears of yoga courses, which claim to make you fit and healthy through certain postures and breathing exercises directed at the physical. While one does feel good after doing such practices, their effects are limited to the physical body and do not touch upon the root of the problem. As a result, the ‘problem’ reappears in some other shape or form and once again one starts looking for a solution and more courses. What you lose in the process, is not the heaviness and negativity, but your bank balance.  Yog is not about twisting and turning your body or breathing abnormally, it does not tie you to any particular religion, ritual, lifestyle or diet. Yog sets you free and this can definitely not be given by one who is himself tied in the bondages of...
