Naked yoga will make you naked and nothing more

Recently, the online medias have been flooded with different Yoga practiced by some westerners. Different yogas like "Chicken Nugget Yoga", "Naked Yoga", "Beer Yoga" etc is widely being shared in online medias . The interesting part is that it is hugely commercialized. The original yoga that is all about "being one with oneself" has now taken different twist and turns. The very essence of yoga is going beyond the senses and the very practice of using unrelated things to practice yoga surely defeats the very purpose of Yoga i.e oneness. The mundane commercialization of yoga has given rise to different forms of yoga which is entirely arbitrary and not related to Yoga itself. One yoga studio situated in Manhattan has opened a Yoga studio named "Naked Yoga". The rational behind naked yoga for them is  that "when we are all naked we are all same". Naked Yoga for them is all about being open from outside and for confidence issue. Bu...

In Buddhism, have you ever seen a enclosed geometrical figure painted in thangka?, Have you ever heard the word mandala? Have you ever seen a SRI YANTRA with complex triangles? SRI YANTRA If you answer 'yes' to the above queries then you must have some idea of yantra. If you don't have any idea but if you have seen it, you might then have an idea how it looks like.

Mudra (The spiritual hand gestures)

Image
The Mudra used for meditating. Dhyan Mudra The Mudra means hands gesture made by interlocking fingers or by the combination of fingers to make a certain hand gesture to achieve the intended purpose. Mudra carries a very great significance in many forms of discipline for its utility. It is used in Tantra, Mantra, Yoga, Ayurveda, Rasayana and also in Dances and Singing. Below we are going to discuss some of it uses and utilities. According to the Panchanguli Tantra, our five fingers respectively represents earth, wind, water, fire and ether. It represents the five basic elements presented everywhere in this universe. Secondly, according the same tantra it says we are a mini universe in our own, that is for the reason we have our own universe inside and it is made up by the five elements. Therefore when a person makes a mudra, the mudra affects the inner universe and desired outcomes can be reached. Through the use of mudra our inner universe comes to our control. Therefore, the whole uni...

The purpose of meditation

Meditation is a very incomprehensible term, it is not a theory that can be discerned through logic nor be deduced and induced by facts. It is completely an inner phenomena. It is like the process of boiling the seawater for the salts to crystallize. Mediation is like a entering inside a big house and reaching the center point or the pinnacle of the house. The house can be compared to your body and the center point of the house can be compared to ones existence and soul. From the outside, a house is seen to have a definite fixed shape and form, when you enter inside the house, the outer fixed shape and structure is transcended and all you can see is the enclosed area, the pillars. From their if you make your way to the center point of your house i.e the pinnacle then one will practitioner will realize that the house started from a fixed base and structure and ended at a point of the pinnacle. The tip of the pinnacle is the point where the house disappears and only a point remains. Like,...

You have been doing YOGA wrongly.

Before writing this article, I would like to pay my homage to my Guru, he who gave me all the knowledge and wisdom so compassionately. The whole world knows him as  "Kaulantak Peethadeshwar Mahayogi Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaj ". For me he is beyond the name and form, he is Lord Shiva himself descended down to society by the order of the Gurumandala for redemption of the Bhairavas and Bhairavis, who in the former life were connected with Kaulantak Peeth. Secondly, I believe I am writing this article for a purpose. Primarily to give information to the Bhairavs and Bhairavis of Kaulantak Peeth about the various aspects of yoga and secondarily also to enlighten aspiring Yogis and people about the same which is secretive, unknown to the masses and also to those Yoga teachers who teach Yoga but do not know the basics facts of the Yoga, like why is an Asana done?, how is an Asana done?, What is the philosophy of performing an Asana?. I believe my writing shall clarify it all. I also ...

KAULANTAK PEETH and MATERIALISM

Kaulantak Peeth is the ultimate abode of spiritualism. From here the whole civilization was taught dharma and it is the land of the penances. This is the place where 9 Nath to 84 Siddha did penances.It is the place from  where Rishi Muni impart their knowledge to worthy aspirants. Several people have claimed to meet great souls in Himalayas too.But if there is one thing that is still unknown to the masses is that KAULANTAK PEETH neither  differentiate between Gods and Demons. Both can practice spiritualism freely in this pious land. Similarly, there is no difference between spiritualism and materialism for the great souls of Kaula Siddha lineage. Let me explain the concept: In most sects of Hinduism there is either materialism or spiritualism, both cannot go hand in hand. But in Kaula Siddha lineage the Siddhas use both materialism and spiritualism for their upliftment from sansara. It is the middle path as prescribed by the scriptures. If you go the Himalayas then hunger will...
