Yogi Ashwini, of Dhyan Ashrmam A Yogi becomes an author to change the mass mindset about Yoga A realised soul or Yogi does not have to be an author but under exceptional circumstances. Yogi Ashwini is one such author. A rare blend of the real and ethereal, of the modern and the ancient and a personification of Vedic knowledge, he has been driven to writing by the sheer concern over the popular myths about yoga. As he looks at it, popular interpretation and misunderstanding of the subject are bad enough. But he is even more pained at the exploitation– both commercial and sexual– in the name of Yoga and the other ancient spiritual sciences of India. That this is happening in the age of information makes it rather ironical. For example, you just have to type the word, “Tantra”, on the net to get scores of thousands of websites that link this great Indian system of knowledge to sex. In reality, it is the ultimate formula for liberation from the limiting five senses ...

                            HOW TO HAVE A STRONG DIGESTION The stomach as per the vedic sources is the organ responsible for deriving prana from the food and in this sense, the vedic masters identified three stomachs of a human being – the mouth, the actual stomach and the intestines. All these three stomachs are controlled and governed by the manipoorak chakra in the pranic body of a person.

First is the failure of absorption of nutrients from the intestines due to the development of a chemical coating on the walls due to eating food laced with chemicals and masalas. Second , the slow/negligible movement of the ingested food in the digestive tract due to lack of prani...

YOGI ASHWINI Agelessness and longevity have captured the interest of Masters across civilisations for eons. Anjana Rajguru spoke to Yogi Ashwini, a Living Master and the Guiding Light of Dhyan Foundation, to understand the secrets of anti-ageing of the Vedic seers as revealed in his new book Sanatan Kriya—The Ageless Dimension. In an age where people are sceptical about the credentials of a true guru, how does one differentiate between a fake and a true guru? Guru should exude what he talks and reflect the glow and attraction that is associated with yog. If you yourself look like a stick or are obese, if you do not have control over your own body, how can you talk about powers of the creation? The first limb of Patanjali Ashtang Yog is the five yamas—satya, asteya, aparigraha, brahmacharya, and ahimsa. A person who is selling yog to amass wealth and power for himself falls short of the first three yamas; he cannot be a yogi. Likewise a person who calls himself a brahmachar...
