Kriya Yoga by Yoga Niketan,Sailendra Sri Sailendra Bejoy Dasqupta,Sri Sailendra Bejoy Dasqupta Pdf

This book is a rare gem. Written and originally appearing at the end of the author's illustrious life, it is one of the few books available today in which the accurate information on Kriya Yoga is given, historical and otherwise, and written by a man who was part of that sacred tradition during its very crucial years and who had personally known several of the authorized disciples of the Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasaya (including of course his own beloved Master, the illustrious Swamiji Maharaj, Sriyukteshvar Giri, by whom he was initiated in year 1929 at age nineteen and with whom he remained in close association). Kriya Yoga is a system of physical and mental discipline towards attainment of Yoga as defined in the Yoga Shastras. The system taught by Yogiraj Shyama Charan Lahiri and down through his illustrious disciples is commonly termed Kriya. The technique and discipline taught are in conformity with the basic conceptions laid down in the Gita, Patanjal, Yoga and Tantra Shastras and the Manu Smriti; and designed in the pattern of movements of heavenly bodies that cause appearance of the Yugas and their virtues. The book also discusses similarities that can be traced in the teachings of Jesus Christ contained in selected expressions in the Holy Bible and the basic conceptions of the Hindu spiritual practices and scriptures. Essentially Kriya Yoga is a universally applicable spiritual system without any inhibition with regard to faiths and nationalities, and directed towards development of the complete man-in body, mind and in the unfoldment of the inner Spirit.

Kriya Yoga Unlocked by Triloki Nath Pdf

This is a Kriya Yoga book intended to be read and practised by everyone, with/without initiation. Every word uttered by a Yogi has a special meaning that is totally unintelligible to even the highly intellectual people. This book is written in such a way that everyone can follow it up while trading the path of Kriya. People think that they are very intelligent, but if they try to understand very seriously, they realize perfectly that nothing is happening according to their intellect. Only those whose breath is not blowing in the left or right nostril are intelligent in this world. When breathing is faster, then in one day and one night respiration can flow up to 113,680 times. Normally during the same time, the figure is 21,600 times. During a day and night, if respiration is faster than usual, the breath can flow in and out 113,680 times. Normally, in the course of a day and night, there are 21,600 breaths. This figure is reduced by Kriya practice to 2,000 times. So, breathing 1,000 times in the day and 1,000 times in the night, in a normal course, provides greater Tranquility to a Yogi. One of his breaths takes about 44 seconds. Such a Yogi is matured in Kriya practice. Thoughts are inseparably related to breathing. So, when the number of breaths is reduced, thoughts are reduced proportionately. Eventually, with the tranquilization of breath, thoughts are dissolved. Thereby, the seeker can attain the After-effect-poise of Kriya, or eternal Tranquility, which is Amrita, nectar proper.

Yoga Sastra; the Yoga Sutras of Patenjali Examined; with a Notice of Swami Vivekananda's Yoga Philosophy by Patanjali Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...are that it must be done in the open air and by daylight. There must be no rod connecting him with the ground nor any balloon above his head. J. Murdoch. Madeab, October 1896. The Hindu belief in the power of Yoga, mantras, and charms is all a delusion. Hindu Pessimism And False View Op Lifb, It has been shown that the first Sutra of the Sankhya system is that " the complete cessation of pain is the complete end of man." As existence is a curse, this is to be secured by freedom from future births. The Yoga Sastra, and indeed every system of Hindu philosophy, takes a similar gloomy view of life. "To the eulightoued all is misery," says Patanjali (11. 15). Lectures, p. 184, The general belief is that this is the Kali Yuga, succeeding supposed Krita, Treta, and Dwapara Yugas, representing golden, silver, brazen, and iron agos. The doleful account, of the Kali Yuga given in the Vishnu lJurana has been quoted. Among other tilings, "a man will be grey when he is 12, aud no one will exceed 20 years of life." All this only shows the absence of the historical faculty among the Hindus. Like little children, they have accepted the most improbable legends as true. There never was a golden age in India. The earliest inhabitants were savages, ignorant of the metals, who fought with each other and wild beasts with arrows tipped with flint. This is shown by the flint arrow heads which have been dug up all over India, and may be seen in museums. Only very gradually did civilization arise and spread. Even under the most celebrated Hindu sovereigns, as Macaulay says, " We see the multitudes eunlc in brutal ignorance and the studious few engaged in acquiring what did not deserve the name of knowledge." The Brahraans...

Patanjali Yoga Sutra: Samadhi Pada by Dr. K.V. KRISHNAN Pdf

Patanjali muni wrote the following due to great daya on human beings: After doing Sarirasuddhi and obtaining kaya siddhi, and through that and favourable to this a vaidya sastra, and after doing vak Suddhi and from that achieve sabdha brahma upasana to give wellness, and for this vyakaraṇa of panini grammar, to cleanse manas and attain kaivalya, this yoga-sutra. Important attributes are achievements of yoga-sastra are: 1. svarupa of yoga-sadhana 2. Super natural power one gets as side effects 3. siddhi and kaivalya In these matters upanishad and yoga-sastra do not have any contradiction. In fact, yoga is a tool to achieve the tatva of upanishad and to see them by oneself. The clashes come because yoga takes sankya sastra as base. Yoga and sankya have many differences, with sastra and upanishad. in some important matters yoga-sastra and upanishad do not agree on certain views.

Yoga In Day To Day Life by Swami Brahmeshananda Pdf

Yoga! It means one thing in general parlance and quite another after its extensive study. Yoga—why and how—in short is the subject matter of this book. Swami Brahmeshananda, a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order and a former editor of the Vedanta Kesari, had written a series of analytical articles on Yoga. These articles have been put together and published as this book.Each of the 19 chapters of the book can be read independently. However, reading of the book from cover to cover would give the benefit of comprehending the many facets of Yoga. The concluding chapter stresses the fact that the Bhagavad Gita is a scripture on Yoga, with each of the 18 chapters highlighting one aspect.

Sankara on the Yoga Sutras by Trevor Leggett Pdf

This is a complete English translation of a highly significant Sanskrit sub-commentary vivarana purporting to be by Sankara, on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The vivarana is written with great originality. The long commentary on God completely jettisons the narrow sutra definition in favour of a supreme Creator, as evidenced by many ingenious arguments on the lines of the present-day cosmological anthropic principle. The doctrine that the future already exists, and that time is purely relative, anticipate the Einstein era.
