If you trace a person from being an infant to a full grown adult, you will notice, in most cases, a progressive decline in the skin texture and complexion. A baby is glowing pink whereas most adults, even in their prime youth, are plagued with a diseased skin and dull complexion.  In the process of growing up, one is exposed to certain unnatural practices and stimuli from which it was kept protected in the womb. Take for example the simple act of breathing. If you observe how a baby breathes, you would notice a pronounced abdominal movement. The stomach inflates as it breathes in and deflates as it breathes out. If you observe your own breathing patterns, most likely, you will find it to be the opposite and with little or no abdominal movement…this breathing pattern of yours holds the key to the way you look and your present state of health. Abdominal breathing maximizes the up and down movement of the diaphragm and ensures that the lungs function at their optimal level, ...

सृष्टि  की  किसी  भी  वस्तु  का  अधिक  मात्रा  में  उपभोग  करना  अनुचित होता  है , और  इस  तथ्य  के  बावजूद  हमें  इस सृष्टि  से  ऊपर  उठने  के  लिए  सृष्टि  की  सारी  वस्तुओं  का  उपभोग  करने की  आवश्यकता  होती  है।  सृष्टि ने  हर  व्यक्ति  को  अपना  जीवन  सही  तरीके  से  जीने  हेतु  और  उसकी  सारी   जरूरतों  को  पूरा  करने  हेतु  उसे  कई  सारे  साधन  प्रदान  किये  हैं। यहाँ हमें  इस  तथ्य  को  समझना  अत्यंत  महत्वपूर्ण  है  की इंसान  की  जरूरतें  सीमित  होती हैं  किन्तु  उसकी इच्छाएँ  असीम  होती हैं। मायाजाल की  उपज  इंसान  की  जरूरतों  से  नहीं  अपितु  उसकी  इच्छा...

Asans are not exercises. They are the gradual process of evolution in the body effectuated under sanidhya of a Guru. They are to be performed gently and with internal awareness. A mantra is codified form of energy in the form of sound and must be channelized by the siddha of the mantra for expanding consciousness. It is through consciousness and heightened awareness achieved through asans and mantras that the body becomes healthy. When the body is healthy, one gets experience of the subtler world and is in bliss all the time. In this series we have been discussing the asans and beej mantras for the various chakras and how one can activate them and strengthen the corresponding body parts. Last time we discussed the swadhishthan chakra that is present two inches above the mooladhar. Now we move to the Manipoorak chakra. Manipoorak (Navel Chakra): Located at the point of navel, it controls at the physical level the small and large intestine, liver, spleen, and pancreas. It is la...

Yog is a perfect and precise science practiced by the vedic seers for thousands of years and given to us in its pristine form, through the ancient practice of Guru-shishya parampara. The rules of yog stay the same even today despite the lifestyles of individuals undergoing a sea change. Yog is not about rapid breathing exercises, or tying yourself in knots, it is a beautiful journey of the self.  The benefits of yog have been experienced by the practitioner when they have taken up the practice in its entirety. Just as a patient would benefit from the Doctor’s prescription if and only if the patient takes the medication in its entirety, similarly yog has to be seen as a divine prescription, which cannot be altered as per individual’s comfort for acceptance. Further to reap the benefits of these practices you have to practice them regularly because you cannot cure yourself of the disease just by reading the prescription, you need to ...
