3 to practice –aspiration to move the mind within, regular practice and dropping detachments with what creates the apparent self

4 to awaken – awaken how to move the mind within; rest and relax consciously; allow peace to act upon your ignorance and conflicts, liberation from sufferings

1 to know – there is one and only ONE Truth- Self which is pure consciousness

If I ask a simple question to you all- where are you going into life?  Have you ever thought, how you live love, energy, awareness and peace?; how I can make all my actions consciously so that it reaches the destination I decided.

Authentic yoga tradition says that there is one and only on truth, termed as real-self. As yoga evolved knowledge and practices for thousands of years, it offers practices and understanding depending upon the temperament of the people and their states of the mind. It is because ‘real-self’ can also be termed as yantra , mantra, images , idols, Guru and many more. If you believe and like to start with any image as ‘real-self’ , you can do so as practices in yoga helps you discover behind that image , the real self or the pure consciousness.

Therefore, start, where are you. what you like? What you like to do? Which image you like? or ask your teacher your mental states and which form of the practice will fit you.

Even if you do not find a teacher, start the practice – contemplate and create a new vision and faith in that image that – there is ONE And only one truth. Click http://www.authenticyogatradition.com/s_authentic_yoga/is_all_yoga.php

2 to understand -   real-self is hidden behind the apparent self

As long as this mind works in the field of duality and division – it knows and understands that knower, knowing, doer, thinker , knowledge, are all different – one lives and moves in ignorance. This is due to apparent being created by the mind veils the real self. What it means and how to apply in life while reading this page. If your mind says – “oh , I am reading and reading , knowledge in this page are different than me.” You are living in ignorance and apparent being is pushing the real self behind.

Know one thing – if you consciously experience ONENESS with people, things events outside and also inside , be in that state. Allow that state to continue consciously. This is what means creating and new vision and faith in life that will help you move towards what yoga aims for – peace , harmony, happiness love etc

3 to practice –aspiration to move the mind within, regular practice and dropping detachments with what creates the apparent self

Aspiration, I mean, desires of the mind that clearly sees that all solutions of problems and sufferings lies within. Desire of anything outside brings ignorance and falsehood. Desire within is the desire of THAT Truth , that belongs to you; that is your essential nature and you do not need to create it.

Practice in yoga aims at awakening neither performance nor developing a skillset. We learn driving and it becomes habitual over a period of time. If practice becomes habitual , it can not awaken you , that is why practice in yoga aims at awakening. Habit formation moves your mind below the conscious level, whereas, yoga aspires to move above the conscious level where lies the real-self

As long as you are fighting with storm outside and thinking of entering into the room, you can never enter into peace inside the room. You need to rush inside and close the door , you are there in calm and peace. But you left the storm rather than fighting it. Exactly, your mind needs to rush (practice – practice with awareness to awaken) inside rather fighting , thinking about attachments with world outside.

4 to awaken – awaken how to move the mind within; rest and relax consciously; allow peace to act upon your ignorance and conflicts, liberation from sufferings

Authentic yoga tradition offers thousands of practices to move the mind within. Learn from teacher, how any or groups of practices help your mind to move within.   Real masters will help you even from practice of postures to move the mind within. Others will guide you how to stretch, how much to stretch. What are the postures for beginners and what are for advanced practitioners? But authentic yoga tradition says advanced practice or practitioner is those that helps you to move the mind within and not increasing the number and duration of practices.

Rest and relax consciously. Conscious rest and relaxation helps to rise the consciousness while unconscious rest and relaxation brings your consciousness down (sleep, drink, gossip etc). for details click http://www.authenticyogatradition.com/s_authentic_yoga/programs/shreyas_programs.php?id=24

The third stage is to allow consciously the rest to work upon body, life and the mind. This is also known as spiritualization. You are in conflict- peace descends upon the mind, it drops and dissolves the anger there and then.

The fourth is a state or rather rise in consciousness when practitioner experiences liberation from sufferings and problems. For details http://www.authenticyogatradition.com/about_us/about_us.php

Be in peace and keep smiling

My heartfelt greetings to all for Christmas and New Year

My greetings, obedience, and respect to all my guides, mentors, teachers, who inspired me to tread the path of authentic yoga tradition.My greetings and love to all my friends, students, people who helped me, guided me   and showed me the ways to manifest what little I know from 6000 years old yoga tradition.

Celebration in life or celebration of life———-

You may celebrate an event in life but the joy fades away after some time. But if you celebrate the entire life, the joy that comes is eternal and never fades, rather increases as days passes. This celebration of life is authentic yoga tradition. This eternal joy comes by self-discovery leading to Human Excellence i.e. freedom and self-realization.

I wish you all an awakening and Peace, Prosperity and Success

The word “yoga” is the most misunderstood word in the world today. I am fortunate to have my formal education in physiology, psychology, and chemistry along with informal, master disciple learning of yoga under the feet of great masters in Himalayas and in other parts of India.  While staying in America, I encounter everyday people saying “yoga is physical and meditation is mental” as if yoga and meditation are different and separate from each other. It is something if people say me “oh I see your body and mind are separate”. Yoga is 6000 years old, the tradition continued with over 3000 masters and 1000 texts. Glimpse of history of yoga shows a fascinating story, how knowledge and practices of yoga evolved over thousands of years.

I am a humble student of yoga over 33 years now. I have not found a single definition and text of yoga, where, yoga had been defined as physical practice of postures or breathing practices. reading and understanding literatures of yoga and understanding the traditions makes very clear that yoga is basically a science of consciousness of which physical practice may or may not be part of the practitioner routine or daily practice. The history, facts and teachings of great masters reveals one fundamental truth that all master declare that –“there is a state of consciousness beyond matter, body, life and mind who rules all them. That this consciousness is known as self. That self is of the nature of truth, peace, happiness, love and pure awareness. That this self is one and the same that dwells within, in every being on the earth. That discovery of the self is aim of yoga. That discovery of the self brings an end to all sufferings of life. That this self-discovery allows the body, life and mind to move in a direction of our intense aspiration and manifests creatively to realize that aspiration or desire in life.”

The above facts prove that yoga is a consciousness based science and art of knowing oneself or discovering oneself. Any person can discover this self with regular practice. It is the understanding of the practice and aspiration to move into higher planes of the consciousness that can help even sports persons in raising their stamina, strength, endurance and skills that is required. I am not undermining the role of physical practices in yoga but helping to assert the importance of physical yoga if it is guided by the consciousness. That is what master’s talk about physical consciousness. There is pure physicality in the body and there is physical consciousness. science of sports always consider the physicality of the body while authentic yoga explores and moves into physical consciousness to improve the functioning’s and raise the skills required in a sport person.

With every increasing awareness of alternative systems of medicine, energy healing – the world is moving towards realizing what yoga declared thousands of years ago that consciousness is the ultimate reality of the universe. This consciousness extends itself and becomes mind, life, body and matter. When we explore the consciousness behind the veils of the mind, life, body and the matter; body and mind lives up to its optimum level of functioning’s where skills, creativity, strength , stamina , endurance works naturally brings excellence in life.
