Download or read book A Yoga Teachers manual of Pranayama written by Srikanth s and published by Srikanth s. This book was released on with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prana is the universal principle of energy or force. It is a vital, all pervading force. It may be either in a static or dynamic state. It is found in all forms, from the highest to the lowest, from the ant to the elephant, from the unicellular amoeba to man, from the elementary form of plant life to the developed of animal life. Prana is force on every plane of being, from the highest to the lowest. Whatever moves or works or has life is but an expression or manifestation of Prana. It is Prana that shines in your eyes. It is through the power of Prana that the ears hear, the eyes see, the skin feels, the tongue tastes, the nose smells and the brain and the intellect perform their functions. The smile of a young lady, the melody in music, the power in the emphatic words of an orator, the charm in the speech of one’s beloved, are all due to Prana. Fire burns and the wind blows through Prana. Rivers flow and planes move in the air through Prana. The steam engines work and trains and cars move through Prana. Radio waves travel through Prana. Prana is electron, force, magnetism and electricity. It is Prana that pumps the blood from the heart to the arteries or blood vessels. Prana does digestion, excretion and secretion. It is expended in thinking, willing, acting, moving, talking and writing. A healthy, strong man has an abundance of Prana or nerve-force or vitality. It is supplied by food, water, air, solar energy, etc. The supply of Prana is taken up by the nervous system. It is absorbed in the process of breathing. The excess is stored in the brain and nerve centers. When the seminal energy is sublimated or transformed, it supplies an abundance of Prana to the system. It is stored up in the brain in the form of spiritual energy.

Download or read book The Authority of Female Speech in Indian Goddess Traditions written by Anway Mukhopadhyay and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary debates on “mansplaining” foreground the authority enjoyed by male speech, and highlight the way it projects listening as the responsibility of the dominated, and speech as the privilege of the dominant. What mansplaining denies systematically is the right of women to speak and be heard as much as men. This book excavates numerous instances of the authority of female speech from Indian goddess traditions and relates them to the contemporary gender debates, especially to the issues of mansplaining and womansplaining. These traditions present a paradigm of female speech that compels its male audience to reframe the configurations of “masculinity.” This tradition of authoritative female speech forms a continuum, even though there are many points of disjuncture as well as conjuncture between the Vedic, Upanishadic, puranic, and tantric figurations of the Goddess as an authoritative speaker. The book underlines the Goddess’s role as the spiritual mentor of her devotee, exemplified in the Devi Gitas, and re-situates the female gurus in Hinduism within the traditions that find in Devi’s speech ultimate spiritual authority. Moreover, it explores whether the figure of Devi as Womansplainer can encourage a more dialogic structure of gender relations in today’s world where female voices are still often undervalued.

Download or read book Sankhya Sansar Sankhya Yoga and Vedanta in an exciting union written by Premyogi vajra and published by Bhishm Sharma. This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast tapestry of Indian philosophy, three threads stand out for their profound insights and transformative potential: Sankhya, Yoga, and Vedanta. Each of these ancient systems offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, consciousness, and the path to spiritual liberation. When woven together, they create a rich and vibrant narrative that speaks to the deepest aspects of the human experience. Sankhya provides the metaphysical foundation, delineating the dualistic interplay between Purusha (pure consciousness) and Prakriti (the material universe). It is within this framework that we understand the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Yoga, with its practical approach, offers the tools and techniques to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Through disciplined practice, one can transcend the limitations of the physical and mental realms, experiencing the union of the individual self with the universal consciousness. Vedanta, the culmination of Vedic wisdom, transcends duality, revealing the ultimate truth of non-dualism. It teaches that the apparent separation between the self and the cosmos is an illusion, and that in reality, all is one. In this short though summarized book, we explore the exhilarating convergence of these three philosophies, focusing on the transformative journey of Kundalini awakening. This sacred process is likened to a divine marriage festival, where Prakriti and Purusha unite in a blissful embrace. As the dormant Kundalini energy rises through the chakras, it awakens the latent potential within, leading to profound spiritual realization and inner harmony. Join us on this enchanting journey, where ancient wisdom meets modern understanding, and the timeless dance of Purusha and Prakriti unfolds in all its splendor. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, this book offers insights and inspiration to guide you on your path to self-discovery and enlightenment. *All chapters in this book were originally part of our earlier work; 'Kundalini Science' series' 'Spiritual Psychology' books. If you enjoyed these, you'll find more in the full compilation.*

Download or read book Kundalini written by Rishi Gherwal and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is the mysterious land chosen as her own by Kundalini, The Mother of the Universe. What we read in old histories and Holy Bibles, and the records, can be seen there today. In India there are Yogis who perform such marvelous feats that Doctors, Scientists and Chemists are unable to solve them, and I may say, are unable to understand them. For instance, such feats, as lying down upon blazing logs of fire; walking over red hot fire that has been especially prepared by burning ten tons of wood, twenty men walked over this without a burn - not even a hair on their feet; also feats of levitation, walking on water, etc., equally as astonishing. Yogi Haridas, at Lahore, willingly permitted himself to be buried alive for forty days under fifteen feet of earth. After that length of time, he was taken out as normal as ever. Such as that, and standing on one leg for years; head buried in the earth with both legs up in the air for days; living without food for forty years, these and many other things can be seen in India today. Any one wishing to read further about this may obtain the author's booklet entitled: "Marvelous feats performed by Yogis through Yoga." I have received many letters asking: "How can that be done?" The answer is, they always do this through the Kundalini (The Divine Mother) by awakening her from her sleep, for then any one can have supernatural power - this is her gift with unfoldment. "Kundalini the Giver of Health"; "Kundalini the Giver of Wealth"; "Kundalini the Giver of Joy and Happiness"; "Kundalini the Giver of Faith"; "Kundalini the Giver of Bliss, Life, and Powers." By awakening her, seeming miracles can be performed by men and women. The resurrection came as a living faith; see "The Great Masters of the Himalayas" - by the author. The Kundalini is always back of all powers and feats of seeming miracles. She is the All in All. Swami Vivekananda says: "Whenever there is any manifestation of what is ordinarily called supernatural power or wisdom, there must have been a little (control over the) current of Kundalini which found its way into the Sushumna. Only, in the vast majority of such cases of supernaturalism, they ignorantly stumble on some practice which set free, (and made them conscious of) a minute portion, (of the control) of the coiled up Kundalini." The Kundalini (Divine Mother), always keeps for herself a chosen country, in which her higher wisdom is preserved from all dangers. That land is India. When she wanted to see the play of helplessness, weakness and ignorance of the world, she chose that land. When the Kundalini again wants to raise up from ignorance to Mighty Wisdom, and a Blissful state, she chooses India again, for the purpose of raising India once more to the highest of Pure Wisdom. In ages past the greatest Avatars, of India - Sri Rama Chandar, Ram Sri, Sri Krishna, King Janak, Guru, Buddha and countless others. The present day we have Saint Mahatma Gandhi. Why does the Kundalini choose India? To perfect her being and for the purpose of perfecting harmony. That only can save the world from misery of selfishness and hate. Only India can find harmony. That harmony is by change of heart. Such change and harmony comes by Yoga. Yoga can and will change the mind, heart, and action; this change is from within; not from without. Not by politics nor by creeds but by the realization of the Goddess Kundalini, remodeling life by pure Wisdom - not by knowledge. This Divine Harmony is not alone for suffering humanity, but for even the smallest insects, animals, etc. That change of heart, that Blessed Harmony, the son of Mother India, Mahatma Gandhi, has shown the world.
