And how to

bring the Kundalini back to Muladhara through the various Chakras? Kindly let me know

the movements of the Kundalini.

You will have to take the Kundalini to the Sahasrara Chakra through the practice of Yoni

Mudra. If you become absolutely desireless, if the Vasanas are destroyed in toto, Kundalini will

ascend by itself without any effort, through the force of purity.

Kundalini will drop down by itself through the force of Prarabdha. It will stop at…

I have got too rigid

orthodox principles. If I see an untouchable or a sweeper, even from a yard or so, I take a

bath and wash my clothes. I shall be glad to know whether these Niyamas should be

observed.

Pray to God to give you that day on which you will embrace a scavenger with joy, feeling

oneness. That day will be a blessed day. You have a very small, narrow, constricted heart. Try

to expand. Slowly give up the “Don’t touchism”. It will greatly bar your…

Misery is the eye-opener in this world. Had it not been for the presence of pain and

misery, no one would attempt for salvation. Misery is a blessing in disguise.

Virtuous men treat suffering as a blessing as it develops the power of endurance and

mercy, and makes them remember God always. They welcome suffering. They do not want

worldly pleasure and prosperity. They have a changed vision. They always keep a balanced

mind in pleasure and pain. You cannot understand…

Everybody does his actions properly. A thief must pilfer things. A scoundrel must do

wrong actions. These are Kartavya. Remember this world is Trigunatmic and relative. Every

movement of the foot, every step, is an attempt towards Sat-chit-ananda. The world is a relative

plane. Prostitutes, saints, rogues, beggars, kings are all doing their respective duties. Good and

evil are relative terms. Evil exists to glorify good. Hatred exists to glorify love. A rogue is…

You should not reduce your sleep by the use of medicine. That will affect your system.

Sufficient rest must be given to the body through sleep. When you regularly enter into deep

meditation, the system derives considerable rest and automatically sleep can then be reduced.

That will not affect your health.

Sleep should be reduced gradually and cautiously. Now, for a month go to bed at 9-30

p.m. and get up at 4 a.m. After a month, go to bed at 10 p.m. and get up at…

and that though he has ceased to be the

former’s disciple, he should have respect for him also. What is your view?

The vast majority of people do not enjoy the good fortune of coming into contact with a

God-realized saint. What happens in their case is this. Traditionally, each family has a Guru-

Parampara. Each sect has its own sectional Guru. The aspirant born in a particular sect has, by

that mere fact, to accept the Guru of the sect as his own Guru. This Guru is…

Now I have no money and I do not like to beg from door to

door, but I am very anxious to take Sannyasa. Will you kindly suggest a method to quench

my thirst?

There are beautiful Ashrams throughout India where Nishkamya Seva is carried out.

They are always in need of sincere and energetic workers. You can remain in any one of the

Ashrams and help in the Ashram’s activities. They will take care of your material wants. Do not

be changing from one Ashram to another.…

Lemon water is very beneficial for our body in various ways. It is considered as rich source of vitamins and minerals. Experts suggest that lemon water is surprisingly healthy internal body cleanser to start your day with. Daily consumption of lemon water helps stomach to remove waste from the body.

Doctors and medicines are only instruments in the hands of God. Unless God wills, none

can cure, or get cured. Man should do his best, with initiative, enterprise and perseverance, but

depend on God’s grace for everything. To bear with suffering and accept it as a blessing of God

in disguise is great wisdom. Prayer invokes the inner potentialities of the individual, which flow

only from God, and they can certainly work miracles.

Side by side with instructions on practical Yogic processes, place always stress upon the

great importance of Sadachara, Yama and Niyama. Inspire the students with noble idealism.

Spur them on to strive for a life of lofty virtue, active goodness and selflessness. You must stress

the need for self-purification and self-mastery. The true inner Yoga is the transformation of the

essential nature of man. The lower human nature should gradually give place to an…

abstract and

introspectionist themes and inspiring a small handful to do likewise.

How then do you regard the production of a seemingly supremely great book like

Aurobindo’s “The Life Divine”, which almost nobody reads, almost nobody understands,

or books like “Treatise on Cosmic Fire”, or your books, all of which seem so totally

unrelated to helping anybody individually or collectively, in a material sense?

It is not correct to think that Yogins merely write,…

The PEACE

It is a very encouraging practice to celebrate peace day in different ways globally every year, but unfortunately its objective is somewhere lost and limited to some peace campaigns and conferences only caused peace is lacking everywhere despite several efforts have been done so far in this regard. Here one should have clear understanding that peace cannot be gained by power and wealth and it is very unfortunate that people neither try to understand nor attempt to have the…

It is said to be a

Kumbhak without Purak and Rechak. This is not intelligible, for necessarily before the

Kumbhak there has to be either inhalation or exhalation.

Your query on the practice of Kevala Kumbhak is not surprising, for it seems to be

impossible to do Kumbhak without doing either Purak or Rechak. However, what is meant is

that for Kevala Kumbhak the retention is suddenly performed at any given moment when the

mind is just about to get…

It is useless to convince a person about the validity of Nirvikalpa Samadhi when he

cannot understand it. Logical arguments may be advanced, but a rank skeptic has to evolve

further to be alive to this truth. The philosophical implications and mystic signification of

experience must be studied well before one can attempt to answer such skeptics.

From "May I answer that" by Swami…

Make paste of honey and ginger and apply this paste on face every morning before brushing teeth. This will prevent wrinkles to a greater extent.

But when I consciously try

to recite the prayers, I sometimes miss the link, and have at times to repeat a Stotra from

the beginning. Thus, are there two minds? How to overcome this difficulty?

No. There are no two minds. But the mind gets concentration little by little, and the

portion of the mind which is spiritually inclined - call it the higher mind - engages itself in

Sadhana, whereas that part of the mind which is more aware of its worldly Samskaras runs…
