  It is a scary experience. The first reaction of the passengers usually is to grab their seats tight, some of them fasten their seat belts and some even put on the oxygen mask. But then, would it prevent the plane from crashing? Or would it save them in the event the plane crashes? No. You have boarded the plane and are now moving with the energy of it. The control over the plane is not in your hands, you are a mere passenger. No matter what your social status, how many assets and wealth you possess or how good you look, you cannot save the body or the physical assets. What should you do then, when you realise the plane is crashing? People tell me, will you pray for it not to crash? Maybe your prayers get answered and the plane does not crash that once. But then, how many times and for how long may this work? The physical is temporary, it is bound to go. There is no one I know, who had been able to hold onto anything they collected. The plane has to crash some day. Y...

There are three states of mind,which modern sciences acknowledge — the conscious, unconscious and subconscious states. The fourth state, which science does not acknowledge is the super conscious state or turiya state.There is confusion between meditation, hypnosis and dhyana. They are thought to be the same, but vedic rishis had experiences of subtler dimensions. Mantras enabled them to see images of devas and devis. With their help, they could manifest in the (unreal) physical world objects like various weaponry, heal the diseased,bestow physical attributes,wealth…and the like.This was the state of dhyana which they were in,the turiya state,and so they could do all this. In dhyana, there is no pratyaya or object of focus. There is purna, or shunya. The five senses are at rest.You don’t focus on anything. You are everywhere, yet you are nowhere. You let go.  Depending on your karmas, divinity takes over you and the guru guides you to higher realms and into reality. Siddhi...

Yogi Ashwini 's article in  #DeccanChronicle ...'The Power Of Consciousness' http:// epaper.deccanchronicle.com/ articledetailpage.aspx?id=1 851086

What existed when there was nothing? How did plants, animals, land, water, space and trillions of galaxies come into being? Consciousness manifested into the five elements forms all creation. It is everything that we see around us and also that which is yet to be manifested—the sum total of it all. We, too, are a part of the same consciousness and can manifest anything in creation by accessing it. To give you an example of the play of consciousness, 30-35 years ago, a popular actor was fighting death lying in a hospital. The entire nation came together and willed his recovery, and he did. This happened as a result of its collective will. You might have noticed that many times you fear something and keep thinking that ‘this should not happen’ and your fear materialises. This is the act of consciousness. Instead if you think that ‘this is how it should happen’, then it will. The science of yoga is based on tapping the phenomenal power of consciousness. It is through  thi...

You look at the cosmos, you look at the farthest of stars that the human eye can see, only to find out that someone somewhere has discovered another star, another galaxy, further away from what you thought was the extent of the universe. You will be surprised to know that the galaxy he ‘discovered’ did not exist before. It is just the consciousness of the person who is looking at it, who was searching for it, who focused his entire life on it that actually created that star. Such is the power of the brain. Consciousness is the sum total of the manifested and the unmanifested. Manifested consciousness is what you can perceive with your five senses — the things you can see, hear, smell, touch and taste. Unmanifested consciousness is what is beyond these five basic senses. The concept of consciousness has a very close bearing to your brain. In an ordinary being, only 7-8% of the brain is functional, and this caters to the experiences of the five senses. As you grow in yoga, with pract...

Yogi Ashwini Mudras, a set of certain posture combinations, are practiced to channelise a particular force to a specific area of the body. By way of certain permutations and combinations, they have an effect on both the physical and the etheric layers of a being. In a healthy body, the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether) are in a state of equilibrium. Any imbalance in these causes disease in the body. Such imbalances can be corrected simply by using our fingertips. The thumb represents fire element, the index finger represents air, middle finger, space or ether, ring finger, water and the little finger, earth. Thus, forming a particular mudra using your fingers will help control, guide and balance the flow of prana in your body. Any finger, when touched with the tip of the thumb, increases that element in the body, and touching a fingertip with the base of the thumb decreases that element. A mudra is a combination of different forces — it has the ability to c...

योग के एक विशेष स्वरूप सनातन क्रिया के प्रवर्तक योगी अश्विनी, योग पर अपनी एक खास दृष्टि रखते हैं। सनातन क्रिया के प्रचार-प्रसार के जरिये इन्होंने लाखों लोग को एक खास जीवनशैली से जोड़ा है और इससे उन्हें शारीरिक, मानसिक और आर्थिक स्थिरता हासिल हुई है। सनातन क्रिया और समाज, धर्म, अध्यात्म से जुड़े खास मुद्दों पर बिजनेस भास्कर के दीपक मंडल ने उनसे बातचीत की। पेश है खास अंश- आज की व्यस्त और प्रतिस्पद्र्धा भरी जिंदगी में योग को शारीरिक और मानसिक सुकून का माध्यम माना जा रहा है। लेकिन मौजूदा दौर में विभिन्न माध्यमों के जरिये जिस योग का प्रचार-प्रसार हो रहा है, वह इस मकसद को पाने में किस हद तक कामयाब है? योगीजी- आज योग का जो रूप दिखता है , वह एक्सरसाइज है। इसे तमाशा बोलेंगे। सिर्फ उछल-कूद या एक-दो आसन से योग नहीं होता। योग गंभीर विषय है। इसे हल्के में लेना ठीक नहीं। आप जिस योग, सनातन क्रिया का प्रचार करते हैं। वह मौजूदा योग क्रियाओं से किस तरह अलग है? योगीजी- सनातन क्रिया में अष्टांग योग का समावेश है। यह पूर्ण योग है। जब योग के अलग-अलग तत्व यानी, यम, नियम, प्रत्याहार, आसान, प्राणायम, ध...

Soul is a unique pranic frequency. In unmanifested form it exists as part of Para Brahma, just as salt exists in ocean. Only when it desires a certain experience or a set of experiences does it choose to go through the cycle of karmas , birth and death. The basic reason or the root cause of the soul separating from the source is ego that recognises one’s existence as an individual. The ancients called it “asmita” , or “I”. This was the first step we took when we separated ourselves from the Divine Consciousness, which is Sukshma-iti-Sukshma , subtlest of the subtle, the unmanifested. Ego led the soul to realise that it is an individual and so came into existence the jeevatma . The individual consciousness combined with chitta forms jeevatma . Chitta or chetna is all pervading and resides in each one of us as buddhi . Buddhi is unlimited mind. It has the potential to become once again unlimited from the limited but it remains shadowed by manas the sheath, which blurs its vision, w...
