Happy International Yoga Day 🙏🏻 This is Yoga day not hour dear friends. Also this is Yoga not Yogasana day. Celebrate Yoga every moment, everyday. It is important to live yoga. But we are just performing some asanas and pranayama for an hour and the yoga is over. Yoga should begin from the moment we get up in the morning daily till retire to the bed. Live Yogic lifestyle daily, tune with the nature's biorhythm, balance 5 elements to healthy, happy, prosperous and successful life. Start your day with 10-15 min. of silence and observe yourself. Practice any Mantra / or guru Mantra for 5 min. Select Mahamrityunjaya for health, Gayatri Mantra for clarity of mind and Durga Dwadishannmala for removing anxiety and worries from life. Then practice Saucha / cleansing like Danta & Jihva Dhauti. Drink pure water and take bath. Practice selected asanas suitable to your need (learn under expert guidance and practice it regularly), select few pranayama, mudra and Bandha. Bask in the Sun. Refuel yourself with simple, fresh and sattwik food. Do include seasonal fruit, nuts and millets in your meal regularly. Food is Havi / samidha in the stomach fire, so select it wisely. Help in cleaning the house and surroundings regularly. Working men and woman should practice the karma yoga at their work - with full awareness, dynamism, perfection and concentration. Follow the biorhythm, the Sun & Moon and Ritu/season cycle for type, quantity of Ahara (Diet) and Vihar (lifestyle). Spend some time with nature - walk bare foot on the earth and grass, include gardening and Pets/ animals of your surroundings care as regular activity in your life. Spend some time with family and elder members regularly. Do practice Mantra, Bhajan, Music and Havan for positivity.

Before sleep recall your day to understand the strength and weakness of your personality - Swadhyaya. Preparedness - Do plan positively for the next day, next step towards your objective of life, but avoid obsession towards it. Manage your finances wisely, lakshmi energy requires pampering and conservation. Practice Sakshi Bhav/ witnessing attitude - must learn to move with flow and improve the stamina to accept the challenges. Thank the higher power, mother earth, the guru/ guide, your parents, partner, the nature, the society, your country for all the support received. Live Gyan Yoga - Stay ready for changes, adopt and accommodate. Do Serve the needy as per your capacity. Spend sometime and energy to learn and persue some positive hobbies. 💐Love & Live Yoga 💐Dr Mrinalini K 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Agrim Yoga

How not to attract problems

First acceptance then fear of problem vanishes and flux of negative thought will cease, second awareness of upcoming problems which will give  the preparedness. Once prepared to face positively spontaneously the DRASTHA bhav / witnessing attitude will develop toward the problem and the effect of being involved with problem will go, for example if we know somebody is in trouble and we don't know the person so don't get involve into his trouble, we just witness it but the moment thought comes I may have the same trouble and then what will happen, and  u r in the trap or loop of negativity.

To him what is wrong is wrong and what is right is right there are no gray areas or bad deeds done for the sake of good as per human conception So he is the true and ultimate judge of Deeds with no partiality or special favor to anyone. He forces people to be disciplined, to understand that one needs to be humble, focused, patient, and hardworking to achieve success. Shani's energy is an enemy of egoistic personas, and devotees honestly believe one cannot get away with being vain and snooty without inviting the wrath of Shani energy. ‘Let us be humble, honest, sincere, discipline and not boastful for any of our achievements as every thing happens with the grace of God.

GUPTA NAVRATRA

Gupta Navratra

GUPTA NAVRATRA - Navaratri, or the nine days of sadhana, is traditionally celebrated as a festival. During this period, according to the different ancient text, Shakti (Durga) was victorious over the negative forces or demons. Traditionally, it is the victory of Shakti which is remembered during these nine days. Navaratri falls 4 times  during the year, once in the month of April and once in the month of September which is known to all of us but Gupta Navratra is not very popular among people but for spiritual aspirants, Gupta Navaratri has a special meaning because, due to the lining up of grahas & nakshtra  environment  is full of energy that any form of spiritual sadhana or pooja becomes conducive to material and spiritual development. This month we have Gupta Navratra from 3rd July for 9 days.

 For nine days sadhakas create a change in their lives through a concentrated effort to follow a specific spiritual discipline as navratri sadhana.

Shree yantra the secret of creation

Shree Yantra is a sacred geometry and are used for meditation in Yogic tradition since ages. The Shee Yantra is considered to be the tool for obtaining and fulfilling all worldly desires, material manifestations as well as spiritual growth. Actually The Sri Yantra is a mathematically precise design and based upon Golden Proportion or Phi ratio. Everything that exists in nature, is constructed in a proportionately precise manner and this proportion is called the Golden/Phi ratio. The beauty of someone’s face is also based upon these Golden Proportions, Our bodies are also roughly based on this Golden Proportion (which, for the mathematicians is 1.618 and based on the Fibonacci sequence). In simple terms, the Golden Ratio suggests that everything, starting from the tiniest speck, expands and grows in proportions of 1.618, from a microscopic level to a macroscopic level for increased stability and beauty. Famous mathematicians, such as Pythagorus, also commented on the Golden Ratio and it being the blueprint applied to all of creation. Even sound and our hearing system follows this same ratio. The shape of the auditory canal follows the Golden Proportion. The finest music known to man is also based on Golden Proportion. The union of shree yantra trangles upward & downward is the unity of Masculine (or left brain) and Feminine (or right brain). All the beautiful, auspicious creations have precisely the golden proportions of Shree yantra. This must be the reason to give name of this chakra SHREE (ever auspicious) by our ancient seers or Sanatan Vedic Scientists.

Similar structure in the Star of David, is nothing but copy of Shree yantra. Shree yantra is closely associated with the Flower of Life/ the embryonic stage of human which is also the blueprint for the creation of matter, sound and consciousness.

Pineal gland – the power house to manifest anything

The Pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. Its shape resembles a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and it is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. The emphasis can be seen on the Pine cone in various architecture from around the world like Egyptian Pyraminds, Angkor Wat Cambodia, Egyptian Solar God, Buddha, and in yogic system as Ida-Pingala-Sushumna nadi coil or rising kundalini.

In Yogic system the pineal gland is referred to as the ‘Ajna’ or ‘3rd Eye’ chakra.  Modern studies reveal that the gland contains rods and cones – just like those found in the retina of our eyes! This is why when we visualize something strongly enough, we can literally see it “in your mind’s eye.” (Same as in yogic practice of tratak- antar & bahir trataka). Pineal gland receives more blood flow per cubic area than any other gland in our body. This tiny little gland gets the highest concentration of energy. Studies show our pineal gland secretes a substance called Dimethyltriptamine (DMT). The interesting thing about DMT is that it causes experiences which can take us well beyond common states of awareness, yes.  Pineal gland is also important to our physical and mental health, and its wellbeing has been linked to memory, creativity, intuition and critical thinking skills. It plays an important role in our sleep and waking cycles. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25), the Minute quantities of this substance, were found to cause profound alterations in consciousness, inducing states ranging from deeply felt spiritual and mystical experiences to paranoia and schizophrenia. The LSD-25 molecule was found to be structurally very similar to the serotonin molecule, produced by Pineal gland.  Pineal gland is the physical medium which regulates the chemistry of altered states of consciousness. Before the regression of the pineal gland and the subsequent onset of puberty, children have ready access to a far more diverse range of conscious experience than adult human beings. 

"Unless you become once more like little children you cannot re-enter the kingdom of heaven" precisely this the process of reactivating the pineal gland which was deactivated at the puberty.

 

The Yantras are considered to be a symbol of immense power partly because when we meditate for prolonged periods on it, focuses the attention on the area between eyebrows, (the Shambhavi mudra in yogic system) which stimulates the pineal gland. Pineal gland is the key to become masters of manifestation. Our system just needs reprograming to achieve the success and desire to life we really want by using sounds and symbols / Yantras (specially Shree yantra) & mantras.
