THANKSGIVING

The body is the source of all hidden treasures. it has all the treasures hidden inside. The thanksgiving to the body is beautiful. Being thankful to the body which continuous works for us without asking any question fulfills all the needs. so accept yourself and your body as the way it is. being more compassionate and thankful to this body brings a total new feeling of different energies, accepting yourself as total one moves beyond mind body and soul. As these all three becomes one. A peak, Himalayan peak is created, from where everything looks so beautiful. Instead of fighting with yourself or with the energies, accept them. Say Yes to the life and through this Yes Transformation happens.

An awakened person goes beyond all this. For him the highest creation is the creation of oneself. The only Sadhana is of UNDERSTANDING. Understanding will make you master. If you know it you are a Master or you go on fighting and making efforts.

BE NATURAL

Everything in nature is so divine. Trees, mountains, flowers, moon, waterfalls , birds are so alive. Celebrating everyday with each other. Trust your nature and get close to the nature.

Gurukulites celebrated two days during camping in the nature on October 20-october 21.

A PRESENT

“No moments are ordinary, being in the moment is a PRESENT”



Knowledge is a great barrier for relaxation. A knowledgeable person has to be logical, and analytical. An awakened person believes in knowing, because knowing is existential. To be a knower all analysis has to be dropped otherwise one may have knowledge with lots of argument, confusions and questions but not be a knower.

It is very simple. To know a flower, do not dissect it- otherwise it will be no more. Be with that flower, write a poem on that, draw it, breathe in it, sing a song. Easy way to be friendly with a flower is so simple
Flowers bends when one plays flute or a peacock dances. Sitting silently with that flower will reveal all the secrets.

When a scientist goes to the flower, it goes with knowledgeable and egoistic mood.

Human beings are also like flower, who needs the same touch, care, and love………..

A Master does not imparts knowledge, he imparts the being. He stirs your heart to make it more alive.

A journey into the unknown

To live..........................one must die

To find...........................one must loose

To hope............................one must be hopeless

To know.............................one must forget

To seek...............................one must stop seeking

Ego must grow.............only to be lost

To love...love

Can one seek something not lost?

When you cease to be.....then will you " Truly be"

These dusty keys we have

Do not be afraid to enter

For there is no fear

Only love

Tea Meditation

A few drops of tea awakes you. For centuries, mindful preparation of tea and drinking it with awareness has been a form of Meditation. Some people in different countries have a special room for tea meditation so the can relax and meditate with their family, friends and guests.

Tea is considered as not only a drink but a way to bring you close not only with your loved ones but also close to yourself.

There is an ancient story, that a Master was concentrating on something outside on mountain named TAH. His eyelids were coming in between him and the object. He took off his eyelids and threw them to make him awake. After few days he found some tree growing on that spot. His discipiles called that tree as TEA . That is why tea awakes you.

it has to be taken in a meditative mood..........looking at the steam, the bubbling, the noise, taste and having then having the sip.

One of the Sannyasin perfomed the tea meditation ceremony on the farewell of fellow yogis.

Is it TRUTH????

A Master can not give you the truth. He is just like a catalyst which helps in the process. He helps you to reach you to your own experience. He is not interested to change you. To change someone is very different from helping someone. If you help someone you are helping him to be himself/herself, changing means that you do not like the person's uniqueness.
Master does not give you any scriptures, he simply throws you to yourself. He makes you aware of your own juice, your own inner sources. He frees you from words. We are sometimes get stuck from philosophies, ideologies that we forget that LOVE is not a word, it is a feeling.
So role of a Master is not to give you truth, nirvana, enlighten. But to shake you up to make you realize of the Master sleeping inside.

Yoga at Sangrock is a story of a Master and potential Masters , an ordinary place with an extra-ordinary experience.

Unspoken Language

A human being is born with this. The more effort is made, long gets the process. A new born baby- innocent, loving, enlightened. All this can not be forced. All different texts, ideas, logics, philosophies . Each voice is pulling apart, disrupting the character.

Silence is the right soil and let the seed grow on its own. The easiest way to bring that light, blissfulness back. Let the diamond shine from inside. Let the layers peel the onion.

BE SILENT AND HAVE A TASTE- DON'T DESCRIBE INTO WORDS.

Hatha yoga with deep relaxation workshop

JUNE 10


Yogis participated in 3 hours of deep relaxation workshop in nature where you can hear only birds, water, wind. They practiced deep breathing, hatha yoga ,one & a half hour of meditation. It was a perfect time to escape from the day to day routine and being a witness of on's thought, feelings and emotions. with all the philosophies,scriptures, ideologies one can not know oneself. one watches with the preoccupied things.

They studied the ancient yogic techniques to reduce stress, improve blood circulation.

Going within yourself needs a small push, but it is beyond physical.








NAMASTE

Pranayama (expansion of the breath)

Pranayama and its practice


The arteries, veins, and nerves are the channels through which the energy flows into the body. After doing the asanas( poses) the body is free from the obstruction of the flow of the energy. Sometimes the channels are (nadis) are blocked by impurities and if nadis are disturbed one’s true nature can not be discovered.

The practice of Pranayam should not be mechanical. The brain and mind should be kept alert. It is not good to practice by force of will. The practioner should keep the spine straight and mind alert.

The mind( manas) is the ruler of all the sense organs(indriyas) and the breath of the mind. During pranayam eyes should be close and ears very attentive so the mind gets more awareness of the sound , the rhythm of the breath.

NAMASTE

Sanskrit yogic language

Most of the ancient yogic texts were written down by yogis in sanskrit language( yoga sutra, hatha yoga pradipika, yoga philosphies). Yogis like Patanjali, Gorakgnath, Matsendranath written those texts hundred of years back. They never wanted that a person practising yoga should fight with himself or herself. The Asana should be very easy & simple. A SADHAK (practioner) may be a beginner or advance should take the pose so he can relax, breathe, meditate in the pose.
Patanjali said " sthir sukham asanam", steady and comfortable should be the posture. Patanjali is not against the body. He says that only in a graceful body a graceful mind exists.

The body is like a musical instrument that has to be rightly tuned.

NAMASTE

Daily yogic sadhna (ptactice)

Yoga is not only philosophy, it is a lifestyle. if yogic techniques are done everyday just for 10-15 mins. everyday it bring more results. Patanjali's yoga is the closest effort ever made, who divides the body into five layers(pranamayakoshas) .
