DHYAN FOUNDATION

When we talk of meditation, we are actually talking about hypnosis; the two words are synonyms, for those who understand both. It is dhyan which actually I am referring to. The present day human being is a devolved version of the beings of the vedic period, where dharma was foremost - even before self and therefore the pollution levels of air, water and soil were negligible. It is only when the human being began retracting his vision towards his individual self and finally, in today's yug, not looking beyond oneself, the environment responded and a plethora of diseases and problems of all kinds - mental, emotional and physical took gigantic and multi-faceted forms. The human race today is on the verge of extinction only due to its myopic vision of creation, limiting to oneself only - the self-destructing philosophy of I, me and myself...all this leading is to a low level of consciousness and vice versa, a vicious circle. The practice of dhyan is a clear exit route fro...

YOGI ASHWINI The entire creation is nothing but a manifestation of energy. Every object of creation, all lokas (dimensions of existence) and yugas (dimensions of time) exist in energy forms. Interestingly, life exists only on planet earth, and various dimensions, which exist as a part of the etheric world, can be experienced and accessed only from here. Our culture talks about the existence of thousands of gods and goddesses, so if the supreme god is one and formless, one does tend to ask what these forms called gods actually are.

Though Param Brahma is the actual source of energy, every aspect of the physical creation is looked after by an energy specifically programmed to control it. This explains the existence of demigods or different forms of god. The movements of the earth change ...

The movements of earth change the dimensions of time. Earth lies tilted on its axis; when it rotates about the axis, seasons change and when the axis shifts, yugas change. Every transition from one dimension to the other brings about a transformation because each day has its own unique energy patterns. Based on the energy patterns, four nights are given great importance in the life of a spiritual aspirant — Maha Shivratri, Holi, Guru Purnima and Diwali. Maha Shivratri falls in the Krishna Paksha (waning moon) of the month of Phalguna. The energy patterns on this night are most conducive to the progress of a practitioner of yoga, this being the night of the union of Shiv and Shakti. Life, which we call as the journey of the spirit, requires a yogi to go through the process of continuous cleansing and tapasya to cause an awakening of higher forces in the self. This is done by accessing certain very powerful energies prevalent on specific days, by a simple phenomenon which modern p...
