पिछले सप्ताह हमने एक प्रयोग द्वारा अपनी हथेलियों के चक्रों से नाभि के भाग को स्कैन किया था। मुझे कई लोगों ने पत्र लिख अपने अनुभवों के बारे में बताया, जिसमे स्पंदन, आकर्षण, प्रतिकर्षण से लेकर गर्मी, ठंडक, हथेलियों में झुनझुनी आदि शामिल हैं । मानव शरीर परतों में निर्मित है, स्थूल शरीर उनमें से केवल एक परत है। जो आपने अनुभव किया वह स्थूल शरीर से अगली परत है, जिसे प्राणमय कोश अथवा आभा के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। जो कुछ भी इस स्थूल शरीर में होता है वह इसी कोश द्वारा नियंत्रित है। शरीर आत्मा का वाहन है। परंतु यह स्थायी नहीं है, इसका अंत निश्चित है। लेकिन, किस गति से शरीर का क्षय होता है, कितने शीघ्र यह वृद्धावस्था की ओर बढ़ता है, यह हम पर निर्भर है। वैदिक ऋषियों ने शरीर की विभिन्न परतों/कोशों को पूर्णतः समझ हमें योग का विज्ञान दिया और इस विज्ञान के प्रयोग से वे अपने शरीर को आखिरी श्वास तक तेजस्वी, दृढ और युवा बनाए रखने में सक्षम थे। वर्तमान समय में भी सनातन क्रिया का नियमित तथा सम्पूर्णता से अभ्यास कर रहे ध्यान आश्रम के साधकों का तेज तथा आकर्षण, योग के इस वैदिक विज्ञान की कारग...

Rajju Akarshan Asan:  Rajju means rope. If you go to an Akhadaa you’ll see pehelvans practising by climbing a rope using their hands. Just imagine a big rope hanging in front of you. Hold it with both hands as if you were about to climb it. Begin to move your hands as if climbing the rope by alternately gripping the imaginary rope near your forehead and bringing your hand down straight and letting go.

Yogi Ashwini tells anger destroys the body by exhausting the vital prana and fluids Anger, as we discussed in the last article, destroys the body by exhausting the vital prana and fluids. In the last article, we had touched upon some ayurvedic recipes to calm one down. Let us now practice some yogic movements from Sanatan Kriya to bring down that temper. Whenever you are angry, just sit with your legs crossed and take deep breaths. Place your hands near your chest with the palms facing outward and with one deep exhalation, push the air in front with your palms, using the force of shoulders.  Let the movement be short, do not stretch out your arms completely. Repeat this 7 times. Next, raise your arms and bring them down rapidly as if you are pulling a rope. Exhale heavily as you clench your hands and bring them down. Now, bring your hands together in front of your chest and spread them out laterally to push sideways while exhaling heavily. As you perform the...

Yoga  was conceived millennia ago; it is a science which has stood the test of time, survived invasions from races across the globe. Yoga has survived because it is shashwat (eternal), what it was, it will remain. Invaders and plunderers can destroy all the records, but they cannot destroy Yoga for it is a blessing straight from the Creator. The gyan of Yoga is handed down from the  Guru  to the shishya, the reason its theories are being rediscovered by modern scientists. As per Yoga, it is possible to maintain vision in the eyes along with good hearing abilities till the last. We have occipital lobes at the back and temporal lobes in the front of our brain, sides of the brain, right behind the temples. These two are directly connected to the sight and hearing abilities. Actually when you hear, it is not the eardrum that is resonating, it’s the lobe and when you are seeing, it is not the retina, but the lobe which is responsible for the vision. If your lobes are hea...

Asthma is characterised by dryness in lungs as a result of loss of sukra from the body. This hampers the normal supply of air, leading to respiratory disorders. The book, ‘ Sanatan Kriya, the Ageless Dimension ’ details the causes of loss of sukra from the body and provides techniques to prevent its loss and also for increasing its production in the body. In this article, we will be discussing certain techniques from the book, to tackle the specific condition called ‘asthma’. For the lungs to function at their optimum level, one needs to optimise the expansion and contraction of abdomen by maximising the movement of diaphragm. This reduces pressure on lungs while optimizing its efficiency. This might seem technical; however it is so simple that even a newborn baby knows the trick. All you need to do is get back to nature, to Sanatan Kriya . Pranayam Close your eyes and sit in with your back straight. While inhaling, expand the stomach [diaphragm is pushed downward] and on exha...
