Decoding Makar Sankranti

Our entire life is linked to two energies – that of the sun (surya) and of the moon (chandra). Surya is the devta of gyan. Its shakti is Gayatri ji, the source of all other shaktis in Creation. Sanatan Kriya details the Surya sadhna, through which one experiences the energy of the sun and its true character is revealed to the practitioner. For general understanding, it is enough to know that the sun is closely linked to our lives. The importance of sun can be gauged to an extent from the role it plays in the physical creation – plants use sunlight to make food and in turn provide nourishment to all beings on earth, the water cycle, the winds, the ocean currents all are regulated by the heating effect of the sun, the planets are held in their respective orbits because of the attraction of the sun, it is sun that brings the change in day and season. Having studied the sun for many years now, I can say with certainty that Surya sadhna is a highly potent practice, which if perf...

मकर संक्रान्ति पर विशेष

सूर्य जब एक नक्षत्र मंडल से दूसरे नक्षत्र मंडल में प्रवेश करता है, तो उस संचलन को संस्कृत में संक्रान्ति कहते हैं। मकर संक्रान्ति से तातपर्य है मकर राशि में सूर्य का प्रवेश। सदियों से हमारे पूर्वज सृष्टि की बारीकियों से परिचित थे। उन्हें तारों और ग्रहों की गति, आकार, माप व् उनके स्थान आदि का सूक्ष्म ज्ञान था। उनके द्वारा,एक वर्ष में बारह संक्रांतियों का अवलोकन इस तथ्य का सबसे उपयुक्त उदाहरण है। वह इन ग्रहों और नक्षत्रों की शक्ति व् उनकी संक्रान्ति से होने वाले ऊर्जा पैटर्न के बदलाव तथा उससे सृष्टि में होने वाले प्रभावों से भली – भांति परिचित थे। सूर्य एक शक्ति है, जो विशेषकर पृथ्वी के प्राणियों के लिए अत्यधिक महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि जीवन तो उन्हीं से संभव है। वह ज्ञान के देवता हैं। इसी कारण ऋषि – मुनि सूर्य का अनुसरण करते थे। उनमें सूर्य जैसा तेज़ दमकता था और वह सूर्य तुलनीय शक्तियों से ओत – प्रोत थे। गीता भी यही कहती है कि आप जिसका अनुसरण करते हैं, वैसे ही हो जाते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, सूर्य साधक महर्षि विश्वामित्र ने गायत्री महामंत्र से एक समानांतर ब्रह्माण्ड की संरचना कर दी थ...

The Solar Secret of Cells

Isn’t it amazing to see that even teenagers today are suffering from premature graying and resorting to lacing their bodies with chemical-based cosmetics in a bid to make their face glow and hair shine? On the other hand, our rishis of yore not only had a great physique but also had glowing complexions, shiny mane and a healthy body till the very end; they did not age. What was it that they did, that was so different? Had they found the fountain of youth? In truth they simply understood the principles that govern the creation. The good news is that they have left this reservoir of gyan on anti-ageing in the form of yogic techniques like the Sanatan Kriya , the practice of which brings a being in harmony with nature. To understand the process of ageing, we must start from the cell. The body (during its inception) for the first half-an-hour is just one cell; so actually all of us in those 30 minutes are just one cell and then that one cell multiplies forming the whole body. H...
