great contribution to the treasury of knowledge."
Kriya Yoga is the direct means to awaken the buddhi, spiritual intellect; thus, to
experience viveka, discimitive knowledge of the Self. Through following this
inner intuitive guidance, all actions reflect the Divine. Kriya Yoga is then realized
as action that propels one to a Divine Nature.
Knowing the greatness of Kriya Yoga, then why don t more practice? Most will
give the reason of being too busy. Sri Swamiji says:
Everybody is busy. Even an ant is busy. Go and see in a rail station.
You see masses of people in motion. The whole universe is in motion,
in action. So, we are very busy. But you find time to grow your egos,
to abuse God, to make fun of others...
Just sit and think for a while. Think why are you born. Try to find the
answer to that. Don t misuse your birth. Don t be enthusiastic about
the support you get from Guru or God. It is limited and directly
depends on your efforts and willingness to correct yourself. In the
short time you spend with me, learn something which will help you
in life. Don t leave this prayer hall with just Puja Prasad or Homa
Prasad. Go with something more valuable. Imbibe the teachings of
Swamiji in your life. Translate it in to real life. Use that great wealth
judiciously and distribute to others .
Sri Swamiji has given pranayama techniques that are simple to learn yet highly
effective. Following the tradition of Kriya Yoga, the pranayama aid in purification
of the nadis (pathways of prana). Physical and mental health is restored. Daily
practice is the foundation and the key to success in yoga. For beginners, Sri
Swamiji says each practice session should be around 45 minutes. You can
begin with 15-20 minutes then gradually increase the time length.
"All that exists in the three heavens rests in the control of Prana.
As a mother her children, oh Prana, protect us and give us splendor
and wisdom."
~ Prashna Upanishad II.13
I recall an amazing example Sri Swamiji once gave of controlling prana. A
devotee asked how does Sri Swamiji perform the miracle of materializations. Sri
Swamiji picked a rose that I had just given from it s stem. Then pulled back the
petals showing us a Ganapati murti materializing. The murti grew as Sri Swamiji
handed the rose to the devotee. Sri Swamiji said, To do this, one must control
prana. Sun Moon breath can do this .
In the Kriya Yoga course, the classic pranayama Surya Chandra Nadi Bhedana
pranayama is taught.
This breathing practice is one of the pranayama classics. According to hatÜha
yoga, there are two major pranas, or life forces, called prana and apana. Prana
allows the energy to flow in to nourish the body, and apana allows the energy to
flow out to eliminate wastes. One brings in, and the other takes out. Therefore,
these two pranas must be balanced, polarized in their functions, to insure a
healthy body and mind. Exhaling activates apana, and inhaling activates prana.
Sun Moon Breath also encourages this balance; left nostril breathing activates
prana, and right nostril breathing activates apana.
Surya Candra is also known as nadi-shodhana, "purification of the nadis."
Through regular practice of the Sun Moon Breath, the nadis are cleansed. The
air flow becomes slow, smooth, and silent. This strengthens the thousands of
nadis and allows for greater prana flow. Of these, the central nadis are most
important for the flow of kundalini (spiritual energy).
The location of the central pathways is equivalent to the spinal canal. These
major nadis are called susumna, vajra-, and citra-nadis; they represent the trinity.
Fiery red in color, susumna is tamasika in comparison to the other two nadis.
Vajra-nadi is rajasika, yellow and bright as the sun. Citra-nadi is sattvika and the
color of the moon. The cakras are strung on this nadi. Located inside the trinity
nadis, is brahma-nadi, the one supreme nadi that is beyond the gunas triple
energy. It is without attributes and colorless, yet it represents all divine qualities
and light. From ajna cakra to sahasrara cakra, it is through this nadi that
kundalini flows into brahma-randhra, the meeting place of shakti (energy) and
shiva (pure consciousness).
On both sides of susumna are two other nadis called ida (mental engery) and
pingala (vital energy). Ida begins on the left side of susumna and pingala on the
right side. Ida and pingala spiral around susumna between each cakra until
reaching the base of the skull. Ida travels to the right side of the head, and
pingala travels to the left side. These two nadis cross again in the center of agna
cakra then ida passes through the left nostril. Ida represents the moon: intuition,
cooling, feminine energy. Pingala passes through the right nostril. Pingala
represents the sun: rational, heating, masculine energy. When these two nadis
become balanced, kundalini begins the transformational journey to the sahasrara
cakra activating the energy centers and awakening higher consciounsness.
In referencing the sadhana for Datta Yoga, Sri Swamiji once said, Swamiji has
five limbs: asana, pranayama, meditation, music, and pujas. It isn t enough just
to listen to the music. You need all five limbs .
We are blessed with the Kriya yoga sadhana as taught by Sri Swamiji .We have
everything needed to proceed on the inner journey. Like a bird has two wings to
fly, a disciple must have the two wings of self-effort and Grace to experience
Spiritual Illumination.
Yoga is the oldest and most precious heritage of the
Indian culture. It is universally accepted as a system of
philosophical thought, practical discipline and a means
to Self Realization. Therefore, Yoga is the perpetual source
of intuitive knowledge, culminating in the direct experience
of the Self (unity) amidst seeming plurality .
~ Sri Swamiji
