DHYAN FOUNDATION

The key to yoga is your relationship with your guru. If you are with your guru, then all these will just flow into you automatically, and if you are not, then no amount of teaching can do any good. There are people who, even after years of interacting with me and getting their experiences, ask me if I could teach them a new practice, a new mantra, a little more gyan or about Ashtang Yog. I wonder, what more can I teach them? Rather, what is there to teach? You are at point A, you have to go to point B, and the path from A to B was clearly laid down by Rishi Patanjali thousands of years ago. All that is needed is for you to walk that path… yama, niyama, asan, pranayam, pratyahaar, dharna, dhyan, samadhi… and you will reach your destination. Yoga does not call for standing on your head or breathing abnormally; neither does it involve complicated diets and rituals—it is simply integrating the principles of Ashtang Yog in your everyday life. Let us look at just the five ...

People who do over-exercising and excessive gymming do tend to look slim but symptoms of ageing set in very fast in them – wrinkles, grey hair, loss of glow…as every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The faster you breathe and the more you exert yourself, more is the energy produced and equal and opposite reaction is premature ageing symptoms. You would have heard of people dying of sudden heart attacks or cancer in early years. This is an equal and opposite reaction of overstraining the body. Sanatan Kriya brings the various layers of body in a state of balance, optimising the metabolic rate and enhancing longevity. Regular practice elevates consciousness and it is through heightened state of consciousness that changes are affected in the body and environment. In this series, we will take you through a set of Body Sculpting asanas , which are a part of Self-Healing with Sanatan Kriya. It is important to understand here that asanas are just one of the 8 limbs of As...

Sanatan Kriya , as formulated by  Yogi Ashwini , encapsulates in its entirety, all the eight limbs of  Ashtang Yoga  as prescribed by the  Patanjali Yoga Sutras  about 5000 years ago. The eight limbs of Ashtang Yoga are -  Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dhyan, Dharna, Samadhi.  By following the practice of the five  Yamas  and five  Niyams , the path of Yoga becomes clear. The impediments in the progress of the practitioner or  sadhak  get removed leading the  sadhak  to the next stage, which involves the purification of the physical and the etherical self of the individual. Asana  is a posture, which is attained with the objective of gaining mastery of the physical body. The practitioner or more appropriately the  sadhak  practices the posture with complete awareness of the physical and internalization of senses till the posture becomes effortless or in other words till the physical...

Successful people usually possess a certain glow and magnetism that sets them apart from the crowd; every cell in their body radiates a specific frequency of energy. An evolved person exhibits a higher spectrum of invisible colours which are visible to a yogic practitioner—this is called the aura. A normal being just feels attracted and wants to be with such a person without knowing why. To a clairvoyant, it is evident as a specific shade to the aura, and its magnetism depends on the person. This is called the Brahma Tej. One possessing this can attain anything that he desires; but it is up to him whether he uses it to accomplish physical feats or to break away and go beyond into the higher dimensions. The reason why certain people have this glow while the others don’t is because the former have accumulated a lot of karmic strength over previous births through austere practices and following principles of Ashtang Yog. This manifests as sukra (luminous clearness) in the body, wh...
