Download or read book Kundalini and Kriya Yoga written by Dharam Vir Mangla and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2002-11-20 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the success of my book "God and Self-Realization" (Scientific and Spiritual View a theoretical book), published in 2002, many valued readers suggested the need to write on the practical techniques about "Kundalini & Kriya Yoga", which may help the readers as their spiritual Guide, sitting in their homes . This book is based upon on author's whole life yogic experiences, spiritual studies and blessings of the great saints. The covers detailed subtle experiences of Life-force, Chakras, Nadis, Samadhi, merging of your soul with God during deep meditation. What an Aspirant should do what he shouldn't do. What he should read and what he shouldn't. The most of the books available on this subject are neither according to the scriptures, nor concise and nor comprehensive. Some have diverted the main topic and have added too much superfluous information like the details of human anatomy, unlimited description of minor chakras and innumerable nadis in the body. This creates confusion and takes us away from the real goal of Self-Realization. Some have ignored, distorted and twisted the most essential aphorisms of Yama & Niyama and have added their own objectionable views to misguide the innocent readers. Although the subject is very vast, author has tried his best to be concise and to cover the entire necessary information on the subject, in an easy to understand language with glossary of yogic terms. "Kundalini & Kriya Yoga" covers both theoretical and practical knowledge in the search of God. It is the journey of soul back to God. This book is based upon author's 36 yrs long practical experience of Asnana, Pranayama & Meditation, learned from various advanced saints in Himalayas and YSS. India has given the great gift to the world, like Holy Scriptures, Avataras, many realized miraculous saints, many religions to the world. The theoretical and practical knowledge of the great Vedas and Scriptures is available to the seekers of God, but not in easy to understand language. Aspirants can get the direct, contact, interaction and guidance of great Gurus in seeking their spiritual path, but their family life is disturbed, if they live in their Ashrams. Alternatively, this book can serve as your day to-day spiritual practical guide, right sitting at your home or office, without disturbing your family life and source of livelihood.

Download or read book Everyday Yoga Meditation written by Stephen Sturgess and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful colour, illustrated book of authentic Yoga Meditation techniques that encourage the practice of Yoga in its broadest sense – as a vehicle for calming the mind, enhancing awareness and contentment, and developing deep inner peace. Drawing mainly on the tradition of Kriya Yoga – the goal of which is to attune individual consciousness with the Divine, or Universal, Consciousness – yoga and meditation teacher Stephen Sturgess reveals in this book how to progress beyond the supple body to the vital, contented mind. After first explaining the deep value of Yoga Meditation, outlining the Eight Limbs of Yoga (as presented by ancient sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras text) and giving clear, comprehensive explanations of our internal energy system (including kundalini, chakras, nadis, the three bodies and the five sheaths), Stephen then goes on to present a wide range of yoga practices that can be used as a regular holistic health programme. If we were to view the body as a temple, the combination of asana, purification and pranayama practices first cleans the temple windows – building the physical body and mind – while the meditations then shine light into the inner sanctum – lighting up the Inner Self and enabling a deep sense of spirituality and peace. A section at the end is then devoted to helping readers develop their personal practice, including advice on living with increased awareness, how to make yoga meditation a daily reality and a range of specially designed morning and evening routines, from a 15-minute programme up to 1 hour 45. In summary, readers are guided on a practical and nurturing journey towards a sense of enhanced calm, joy, happiness, harmony and personal fulfilment in life, where they will experience their fullest potential for both creative thought and action.
