Why is karma important?

Karmas are the unifying factor in all religions. It is a law, not a theory. Even modern science accepts that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What you give comes backs to you manifold. Whatever you are desiring, start giving it back to creation. If you distribute food, there will never be a shortfall of food in your house. If you distribute money, you will always have enough. If you teach, there will be no dearth of gyan for you. A Dhyan Foundation volunteer feeding monkeys. #HelpAMonkey Karma is the fuel that propels you on the journey of the spirit. If you do not have the karmas, you cannot move on the path and even if you have karmas, without the focus on guru, you will not know which direction to move in and end up spending the fuel moving in various directions. Both become essential to make the journey beyond. Remember nothing is constant in creation, you either move up or go down, you can never be stationary. Presently we are living on earth, but if an...

Understand and find yourself: Yogi Ashwini

People these days are self-absorbed and have lost track of their well-being and the world around them. Yogi Ashwini is spreading the message of finding the right consciousness within oneself through Dhyan Foundation. “Nothing is constant. Today if you have something, you will not have it tomorrow. Nobody can break this circle, but you can survive it by being detached,” he explains. Adept in the ancient sciences of yoga, spiritual healing, and vedic martial arts, he feels the world is geographically divided into four parts — the West, comprising the US and Europe; the East, artistic and cultural capital; Africa, the centre of old ancient pre-civilisation world; and  India, the spiritual centre of the world. Within India, there are several powerful regions, with abundant positive and negative spirits. “The area around Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and certain belts of Rajasthan, are very powerful. There exist both negative and positive spirits. Depending on the way you interact w...

SUCCESS IS EASY TO ACHIEVE

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, said one of the greatest geniuses of modern times. It rains only because water evaporates. Take a look at your actions throughout the day. How much time do you spend on yourself and how much time you devote to others? Then take stock of your life. You will be surprised to find that the time spent on helping others and saving humans and animals would be directly proportional to your good health and happiness.  To be healthy and happy is actually that easy, you just have to follow what Newton said. That is, if you don’t want to follow what the Yoga Sutras say. Or, forget Newton and follow the sutras... The result would be the same. Actually it is that easy to succeed in life, try it out. Service or giving back to creation is the key. Service is donation of your time , for which there can be no excuse. Anyone can donate time to save animals, feed the poor, teach underprivileged kids, nurture the environment, etc. If you loo...

तप और दान का महत्व

भगवद गीता तप और दान को भी सत्व, राजस और तामस इन तीन गुणों के अनुरूप, तीन प्रकार में श्रेणीबद्ध करती है। भगवद गीता तप और दान को भी सत्व, राजस और तामस इन तीन गुणों के अनुरूप, तीन प्रकार में श्रेणीबद्ध करती है। गुरु, देवता, बड़ों और साधु-संतों के प्रति भक्तिभाव, स्वच्छता, स्पष्टवादिता, ब्रह्मचर्य और अहिंसा; ये सारे शरीर के तप के तरीके होते हैं। मीठा व्यवहार, सत्यवादिता, वेदों, उपनिषदों आदि के अभ्यास और ईश्वर का नाम जपते रहना, ये सारे वाणी के तप के तरीके होते हैं। प्रसन्नता, सौम्यता, ईश्वर चिंतन, इंद्रियों पर पूरा संयम और भाव की शुद्धता, ये सारे मन के तप के तरीके होते हैं। जब मन, शरीर और वाणी का तिगुना तप पूरी श्रद्धा से बिना किसी फल की अपेक्षा से किया जाता है, तो वह तप सात्विक होता है। जो तप नाम, प्रसिद्धि, लोकप्रियता या किसी भौतिक फल की अपेक्षा से किया जाता है, वह अनिश्चित व अस्थायी फल देता है और वह तप राजसिक होता है। जो तप मूर्खता एवं हठ से किया जाता है, जिसके कारण स्वयं और दूसरों की हानि होती है, वह तप तामसिक होता है। काल जादू और दुष्ट साधनाओं के अभ्यास इस अंतिम श्रेणी में आते...
