Lord Vishnu, the energy responsible for running creation, ensures that one is amply warned and reminded of his/her karma at various stages. Creation, and life, as a part of creation, is governed by karmas. Karmas decide what you are and where you are headed. Life runs in a spiral, the physical life is a downward moving spiral and spiritual life is an upward spiral. Physical life pertains to the gratification of five senses — a life of selfishness. Such a life paves way to entry to lower dimensions and lower levels of existence and more painful births. Spiritual life starts when one can feel the pain of others and works to reduce that pain — a move towards selflessness. Under the influence of maya, the glue that binds us to the physical, one forgets the path of karma and is driven into the whirlpool of destruction by living for just self.

पिछले सप्ताह हमने एक सरल श्वास प्रक्रिया की चर्चा की थी जिससे शरीर के चयापचय को अनुकूल किया जा सकता है तथा शरीर की कोशिकाओं के जीवन काल में वृद्धि कर, अपने शरीर के वृद्ध होने की प्रक्रिया को धीमा किया जा सकता हैं। । योग की प्रारंभिक क्रियाओ का यह पहला तत्कालीन लाभ है । आशा है कि पाठकों ने पिछले लेख में वर्णित उदर-श्वास-क्रिया का अभ्यास किया होगा। योग आपके लिए तभी सार्थक है जब आप उसका नियमित रूप से अभ्यास करें क्योंकि योग अनुभव का विषय है, आपका निजी अनुभव । अब हम उदर-श्वास-क्रिया में एक छोटा-सा परिवर्तन करेंगे, १. अपनी रीढ़ की हड्डी को सीधा कर के बैठें। आँखें बंद कर सारा ध्यान नाभि पर रखते हुए उदर श्वास की क्रिया करते रहें। अपने श्वास को धीमा, गहरा और लम्बा करें । २. एक लंबी सांस लें और साँस बाहर छोड़ते समय अपना मुँह खोल राहत की एक सांस छोड़े। यदि आप इस प्रश्वास को जागरूकता के साथ करते है, तो अापको एहसास होगा कि हवाएक हल्की फुफकार के साथ आपके गले के अंदरूनी हिस्सों को छूकर बाहर जाती है । ३. अब यही प्रक्रिया अपने मुंह को बंद करके दोहराएं । प्रत्यक्ष रूप से नासिका छिद्र...

Ever thought about it…What was there when there was no Creation? Imagine a time when there was no time. Time too was created. After time came OM in the form of Dhwani, sound. Creation began with the sound of Om. From Om emerged all sounds, which further manifested into the dimension of colours and the five elements. The reverse process—from elements to colours to sounds to the eternal Om, opens doorways to the shaktis of Creation. The closer a shakti is to Creation, the closer is its sound to the eternal Om.  A Western University recorded the sound of the SUN and found it to be a continuous loop of unending Oms. “And Sun powers all life on earth. Also, Sun has no religion.” Manifestation of OM  in a vedic havan performed by Dhyan Foundation volunteers  Now to get an experience of OM you can... Look up the night sky, fix your gaze at any one point and without shifting your gaze start rotating from right to left. After a while stop, close your ey...

If you visit any of the “spiritual centres” in India today, you will find these “shops” selling innovative and, at times, unrecognizable forms of yoga and Vedic sciences. I recently visited one such place and was amazed to read the promises made on the boards that hung outside. The streets were filled with aspirants from all over the world who were eager to learn the ancient Vedic sciences and it was pitiable to see what we had to offer to them in return. The place I visited was the tapobhoomi of some great yogis and rishis, and their ashrams are still there. Right outside one such ashram there was a huge garbage dump where stray animals were feeding on plastic and toxins, saffron-clad men sat at the side of the road and struck deals with the tourists for a spiritual experience. If those evolved souls were to visit their own ashrams today, they sure would be relieved that they left long back... At the Maha Kumbh underway at Prayag, another spiritual centre where dro...
