MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1206

 MRadhe krishna,

Have aa blessed day,

ASANA AND PRANAYAMA

Swami Sivananda

Any comfortable and steady pose is Asana. A steady pose gives concentration of mind. If you have mastery over a posture, it aids meditation. There are different Asanas for physical culture, the practice of which keeps the body strong, sturdy, disease-free, and fit for the practice of Sadhana. Some of the Asanas such as Sirshasan and Sarvangasan are very useful for the preservation of good health and Brahmacharya (celibacy). Prana is energy. It is life-breath. It is the life principle. When Prana vibrates, the mind begins to think. Prana is expended in thinking, willing, acting, talking, etc. If you can control the Prana, you can control the mind easily

You should continue to repeat the sacred Mantra, Om Namah Sivaya. This has my approval. Yes, you can combine Bhakti Yoga and Raja Yoga. Try to do Japa of the sacred Mantra. Also write the Mantra on a separate notebook. This is called Likhit Japa. Write for half an hour daily. Observe Mouna while writing Japa. Practise Asanas and easy Pranayama to start with. Spend two hours in the early morning in spiritual Sadhana. Chalk out a Sadhana programme for daily practice. Swami Chidananda Our wealth is our understanding. Nobody can rob us of this property. Any property that can be taken away from us has never been ours at any time. We cannot lose what is really ours. If there is a chance of losing what we own, actually we have never owned it and we were under an illusion that it belonged to us. - Swami Krishnananda CHANT MAHAMAMTRA Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPYhttps://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2016/12/sieta-sieta-raama-bolosivananda-bhajan13.html
