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 each
Chakra by itself. You need not exert

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 spiritual progress. It
will take a long time

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 their mental state. They rejoice i

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 not
an eternal rogue. He can become a

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 3-30 a.m. Again, after
a month go to

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 by no means fit to be
called so, a

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. Select the best that suits you and sti

Lemon water is very beneficial for our body in various ways. It is considered as rich source of vitamins and minerals.

Lemon water contains balancing quantity of water, protein, carbohydrates and sugar with lemon, which is a richest source of vitamin C. It also contains various vitamins such as Thiamine, Riboflavin,

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 illumined
divine nature through a process o

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, but never do anything for human
progress.

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 peace within

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 concentrated.
This sudden cessation of Prana at that par

Asthma attack is caused by swelling in lungs, narrowing of the airways, restricting airflow and making breathing very difficult.Asthma is a difficult disease, for this you can take drugs or natural remedies and also combination of both.
some natural remedies for asthma:
• Drink plenty of water daily to help dilute and move mucus out of your body.
• Take a steam inhalation of eucalyptus or lavender essential oils just during an attack.
• Prepare one tablespoon fresh juice of ginger, fenugreek and ho

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.

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 along
its set grooves. Force of habit ma

“And all these explanations explain
nothing”. Is there any point, then, any real benefit, in following through the thin thread of
this tapestry?
In the ultimate sense, words do not explain Truth. But they give a hint by which one can
know Truth directly in experience. Words have a relative value and they must be made use of,
though they do not constitute our real aim. Relative obstructions to the knowledge of Truth can
be removed through relative means and thus the absolute Truth can be realized.

« The Miracle Is Worth The Wait » was the 2nd song written for the « 30 Songs for the Sunny Season » project, and was completed on January 8, 2013.

The inspiration for this opus came from conversations held with David, a somewhat peculiar fellow with whom I was sharing living spaces earlier this year. To the best of my memory, the first words he ever spoke to me were « I can guarantee world peace. » Obviously, the statement got my attention and I just had to know more about him. I eventually lear
