IS HUMAN SADGURU THE ONLY CHANNEL TO ACHIEVE SPIRITUAL LIBERATION?

Dear ASPIRING YOGEENEEs/YOGEEs,

1. TRUE - The GYMNASTICS isn't the YOGA. ELSE, all those crores of people doing PHYSICAL YOGA led by SWAMI RAMDEVA would have by now had their Kundalenes awakened and would have had Brhama-Darshana. Whether one likes THIS FACT or NOT............!

2. The Meditation indeed is…

Songs of Mirabai

"Refuge in you, Dark One, you alone know how to save me. A girl possessed, I shamble through the sixty-eight places of pilgrimage but haven't the wit to know failure. Hear my cry, O Murari - nothing on earth looks like it's "mine". Mira gave you her trust, now it's your move. Spring her from this noose we call "world." " ~From "For the Love of the Dark…

Dear ASPIRING YOGEENEEs/YOGEEs,

1. I know you all have some REALLY nice basic knowledge of the Yoga. Still, my experience based on interactions with a large number of devotees/spiritual seekers of different sects/gurus is that HARDLY any one of them knows the following two BASICS of the Yoga:

Asana cannot turn you as Yogi

Asanas or physical excercises never turn a practitioner as "Yogi" other

have such Yogic Power and are not Yogi.

So you can think where you are?

Similarly, sitting with a close… Continue

Mantra Chanting

Taking Mantra from books and start chanting cannot be affective and it

is worthless and waiting your valuable time, because books itself

can feel its affect either good or bad. So technique is the "Tantra"

through which one can fullfil his desire but to know the… Continue

your breathing and say, "I am breathing freely, this quick expansion
