RAJA YOGA
Prana
manifesting itself as mental powers can only be controlled by mental means is
called RAJA YOGA.
The FIRE of
Yoga burns the cage of sin around a man. Knowledge becomes purified &
Nirvana is directly obtained. Yoga has two aspects to it. When ones’ Self is
meditated upon as Zero & be fret of quality is ABHAVA YOGA. When one sees the Self as full of bliss, be
fret of all impurities & with GOD is MAHAYOGA.
PRANAYAMA
The aim of
Pranayama is to rouse the coiled-up power in the Muladhara Kundalini. The
rousing of the Kundalini, UDGHATA is the only way to attain Divine Wisdom /
super consciousness perception. This dormant sexual energy is converted &
shines as OJAS in a Yogi. Joining Prana with Apana is Pranayama. When a man is
meditating, he is additionally concentrating the Prana.
It means to
control the Prana, because Prana is the Infinite omnipresent manifesting power
of this Universe. Prana manifests as FORCE. Thought is a force / an arrow shot
out of the Mind / Chitta, which must return to the owner one day. If we can
control the Prana inside ourselves then we can hope to know the Absolute
Existence, God & His cosmic secrets too.
Breath motion
is the silken thread, we learn to control it & grasp the pack thread of
nerve currents. Then the stout twine of thoughts & lastly the rope of Prana
to reach our Freedom.
Rhythmical breathing makes all the molecules in the body to move in the same direction, like electricity. Breath is the flywheel of this Body / machine, supplying & regulating motive power to every cell in the Body. Nerve currents carry vitality & life to every muscle, part of the body. Nerve currents, Afferent & Efferent, Sensory / Motor, centripetal / centrifugal carry sensations to & from brain to outer body.
When we
breathe in / Inhale five components flow together. The air goes to the lungs
& the four Prana follows the nerve current channels located on the two
sides of the Spine. On the Left side is the IDA & on the right side is the
PINGALA. The hollow core of our spine is called SUSHUMNA. At the triangular
base of this central channel sits the coiled-up Kundalini, which must be
aroused step by step, chakra by chakra right up to the SAHASRARA chakra.
Vayu translates as wind & the
root ‘va’ translates to “that which flows.” Thus, Vayu is an energetic force
that moves in a specific direction to control bodily functions and activities.
Each Vayu governs a specific area of the body and ideally functions in
harmony with each other. Their subtle energetic movements affect and influence
our physical, emotional, mental health and wellness. If a Vayu becomes
imbalanced it can create disharmony through the whole energetic system of the
body or can negatively affect its associate chakra or the organs linked to its
location.
Prana-Vayu is situated in the heart, and its energy
pervades the chest region. Prana-Vayu translates as “forward moving air,” and its flow
is inwards and upward. It nourishes the brain, the eyes and governs
the reception of all things, food, air, senses & thoughts. This Vayu is the
fundamental energy in the body and feeds into the four other Vayu. To
experience Prana-Vayu - as you inhale feel an energy flowing up
the torso from the belly to the third eye.
Apana-Vayu is situated in the pelvic floor and its energy
pervades the lower abdomen. Apana-Vayu translates as “the air that moves away,” and its
flow is downwards and out. Its energy nourishes the organs of
digestion, reproduction, and elimination. Apana-Vayu governs the elimination of
all substances from the body - carbon dioxide, urine, stool, perspiration. To
experience Apana-Vayu, as you exhale feel an energy flowing
down the torso from the top of the head to the tailbone, and then out through
the legs and feet.
Vyana-Vayu is situated in the heart, lungs and flows throughout the entire body. Vyana-Vayu translates as “outward moving air,” and its flow moves from the center of the body to the periphery. It governs the circulation of all substances throughout the body and assists the other Vayu with their functions. To experience Vyana-Vayu as you inhale feel the breath radiating outward from the navel to the arms and legs.
Udana-Vayu is situated in the throat, and it has a circular flow around
the neck and head. Udana-Vayu translates to “that which carries upward,”
and its flow moves upward from the heart to the head, five senses, and brain. It
functions to hold us up, governs speech, self-expression & growth. This
Vayu’s action is metabolization, its expression is verbal. To experience Udana-Vayu as you inhale & exhale, feel the breath
circulating around & through the head/neck region.
Samana-Vayu is situated in the abdomen with its energy
centered in the navel. Samana-Vayu translates to “the balancing air” and its flow
moves from the periphery of the body to the center. It governs the digestion and assimilation of all
substances, food, air, experiences, emotions, and thoughts. This Vayu’s action
is assimilation, its expression is internal. To experience Samana-Vayu
as you exhale feel the breath rising & falling in the front, sides &
back of the torso.
Inside our
Bodies very subtle & fine motions are happening without our awareness. If
we can feel them, then we can control them. There are some prerequisites before
we begin the regime of Pranayama.
YAMA –
Truthfulness, non-stealing, non-killing, non-receiving gifts & self-restraint
on sex.
NIYAMA –
Austerity, contentment, cleanliness, self-surrender to GOD & study.
ASANA –
Postures for right meditation.
Food choices
have a prominent role on our Minds. Huge animals like elephants are
Vegetarians, hence calm & gentle. Small animals like tigers are non-vegetarians,
hence restless & agitated.
PRANAYAMA
EXERCISE
Meditation
rest is superior to sleep rest. Sit straight with head, neck, chest in a
straight line, top to bottom. Breathe in a measured way in & out to
harmonize the system. Add OM the humming sound & let it flow in & out
too. Learn to rest & calm down. Add imagination fill in through the left
Ida & hammer it down on the triangular lotus base of the spine violently.
Hold for a couple of seconds, now suck at the current & exhale through the
right Pingala slowly. One cycle is 4 seconds IN, 16 seconds HOLD, 8 seconds
OUT. Followed by 4 in 8 out & 16 hold. Do 4 cycles twice a day. After
some practice go to 6 cycles twice a day.
MEDITATION - WAY TO PEACE OF MIND & BLISS
Meditation is the way out of linear Time. Deep meditation takes you into a sense of timelessness & eternity, where the karmic chains break away. It is here that the karmic debts are cancelled when you transcend your Ego. Karmic forces act on individuals existing out there, separate from the world. But when you meditate and be one with the universe and the world, the karma is overcome. Karma is cosmic justice. Dues must be paid when a lesson of life is not learned. Dues pile up as huge debts. Learn the system, the foreign language of silence. The ignorant drown in the ocean, in which the mystics swim.
DHYANA / MEDITATION
METHODS
Fix your
attention on the tip of your nose. This will give you arc of reaction to
control of WILL.
Imagine a
lotus flower with 8 petals as the 8 powers of a Yogi, on the top of your head
several inches high with virtue in its center & knowledge as its stalk.
Inside the lotus add a golden One OM.
Picture a
space in your heart with a flame burning of your Soul & inside the flame is
HIS light.
Attaching
& detaching your mind to & from the centers at WILL is a success.
Checking the
outgoing powers of the mind & freeing it from the senses.
Holding the
mind to a certain point in the body. Feel the hand only to the exclusion of
other parts of the body.
Meditate on a
lotus in the brain / heart & its full of light.
Attach your
mind to the palate to see peculiar things. To the tip of the nose to enhance
smelling power. To the tip of the of the tongue to superior taste. To the root
of the tongue to hear distant sounds. To the middle of the tongue to connect
with someone.
While inhaling
imagine a lotus of the heart with petals down & Sushma running through it
& while exhaling imagine the petals turned up with the lotus shining in
effulgent light.
Make one big
new wave to suppress all the other little waves / ripples.
RENUNCIATION
/ VAIRAGYA
To deny
temptations to the Mind to come to wave form as Chitta. I control them, they do
not control me. Nonattachment is giving
up that desire for objects & attractive bodies.
Religion
began with ancestor / Nature worship. It transcends the limitations of the
senses & personifies the fearsome powers of Nature. The first idea of Soul
was the Double subtle Body. On death this Body went out but lasted only if the
physical body was kept intact. Hence the invention of mummies & Pyramids.
Religion begins with DO NOT….
WHY PERSONAL
GOD? Because of the ease to connect with
HIM. HE is our security blanket, our favorite teddy bear to give us confidence
& consolation. SHIVA – SHAKTI =
Inertia & Dynamism. Adi Yogi – That which is not.
