The word Shiv consists of 'shav', which is a dead body and 'i', which is Shakti – the force which runs creation. This force needs a vehicle or a body to manifest into, so shav becomes Shiv and a child is born. The night of Shivratri has the power to give birth to your thoughts. It is a night of birth, a night of merger; a night of creation, a night of manifestation and a night of thought fulfilment and the one who can give you this experience of Shiv is your Guru. Being born in the land of Bharat, I have grown up hearing stories of Shiv and Shakti; I was told that Shivratri is a night of marriage of Shiv to Shakti, an auspicious and potent night. I would see elders in the family keeping a fast, making offerings, singing prayers to Shivji…for me Shivratri meant a holiday from school. I could not see the sense in celebrating an event that occurred centuries and maybe millennia ago. For me, Shiv and Shakti were protagonists of a puranic story, I was ob...

Asans are not exercises. They are the gradual process of evolution in the body effectuated under sanidhya of a Guru. They are to be performed gently and with internal awareness. A mantra is codified form of energy in the form of sound and must be channelized by the siddha of the mantra for expanding consciousness. It is through consciousness and heightened awareness achieved through asans and mantras that the body becomes healthy. When the body is healthy, one gets an experience of the subtler world and is in bliss all the time. Dhanur Asan In this series, we have been discussing the asans and beej mantras for the various chakras and how one can activate them and strengthen the corresponding body parts. Last time we discussed the swadhishthan chakra that is present two inches above the mooladhar.

The sun rises, and sets, and rises again the next morning. Water evaporates, falls back as water, and evaporates once again. The tree blooms, sheds leaves, and bears fresh leaves once again. It is an unending cycle, with no beginning or end, just like the source, the shivling which is an oval, the journey of the spirit being a continuous spiral motion up and down the oval with no beginning or end, the destination of journey being merger with the core. All aspects of creation reside in this form– the good and the bad and the evil. Sunrise too is shiv, sunset too is shiv. In the realm of shiv, there is no distinction. It is up to an individual what part he/she chooses to access. Let us look at the swaroop of shiv parivar. Shiv holds Ganga in his locks which signifies purity, the neck is adorned with Mund-maala (garland of skulls) which is a form of Mahakaal that signifies impurity and at the bottom is urik or vaak charm, again signifying impurity (mrit shareer or dead body)....

In the previous article we understood how and why a disease manifests in the body and how one can cure it. The Ayurvedic remedy for diabetes was detailed, that needs to be taken every day along with certain yogic asans that will help control the rising sugar levels in the body. A combination of Ayurveda, Asans and Mantra chanting will have an immediate effect on controlling diabetes. ASAN It is important that the breath rate and heart rate do not shoot up while performing asans. But since these are repetitive asans, there is a possibility of a slight increase in the breath rate while performing them. Therefore it is vital to perform them in tandem with Sanatan Kriya to balance out or decrease the number of breaths taken overall. It is advised you learn the practices at a Dhyan Foundation centre near you. ·         VEERBHADRA ASAN – Stand straight. As you inhale, slowly bend forward keeping your spine straight...

Guru is the giver of gyan, the one who puts you on the path of experience and takes you beyond, beyond the realm of five senses. He is not someone in a fancy robe, with a beautiful beard, who dances around trees and promises to cure your illness by breathing like a monkey, of course after emptying your pocket. That is an entrepreneur, who has devised an innovative marketing strategy for him to grow physically. Someone who is himself tied to the pleasures of the senses cannot take you beyond, which is the ultimate purpose of yog. Guru is not the physical body, it is an energy through which gyan flows into the shishya, yet it is important for the Guru to be in body. You get a Guru as per your karmas and shreni, it is not necessary that, who was the Guru of your forefathers will be your Guru as well. Whoever can transfer the experience of yog to you is your Guru.  Guru Poornima is an extremely powerful day, merely being in your Guru's presence can have amazing effects on your evol...

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 ...

Yogi Ashwiniji article in Metro India paper

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Creation follows a cyclical pattern consisting of opposites. The darkest of nights leads to the brightest of days. When these opposites diverge, it is called destruction and when they converge it is called birth. The night of Shivratri is a night of birth. It is a night of merger, a night of Creation, a night of manifestation and a night of thought fulfilment. The word Shiva consists of shav, which is a dead body and i, which is shakti — the force which runs creation. This force needs a vehicle or a body to manifest into, so shav becomes shiv and a child is born. Similarly the night of Shivratri has the power to give birth to your thoughts. On the night of Shivratri, the ability of mantras (incantations) increases by many times and effects generated far exceed several months of mantra sadhana combined. Mantra has to initiated by a guru which will give you the experience of the essence of Shiva, provided your guru is free from the...

Om Chanting Workshop Om was the first sound of creation. It is said to have emerged from the damru of Lord Shiva. Before sound (creation), there was eternal silence and absolute stillness. Therefore, sound is the first manifestation of physical creation. From sound emerges the dimension of colours; from colours emerges everything that we see in the physical creation, including our physical body. A combination of certain sounds is a mantra. Sounds programmed as mantras have a very powerful effect on the body as well as the environment and are instrumental in elevating the consciousness of a being, thereby facilitating manifestation of thought. It is through the power of sound and mantras that Tansen ushered rains on earth or Guru Shukracharya was able to resurrect the dead. The science of mantras holds true even for present times, with so many researches and experiments being conducted internationally on the power of mantras. However, for a mantra to ...
