OHM. Salutations to thou; who is established in knowledge and who is adorned with the garland of knowledge. O, thou hast manifested as prana, electricity, force, magnetism, cohesion, gravitation in this universe. Crores of salutations unto thee. Thou has lead me on to open the sushumna nadi and taken thee along the chakras to sahasrara chakra and to merge myself in thee. Glory, glory to thou, who through your infinite grace, kindly leads thee, the sadhaka from chakra to chakra and illumines thee’s intellect and makes thee realise thee’s identity with the supreme consciousness. I offer in standing upright stance with my head held high-by word, mind and body to thou. OHM.

*my yogic diet:
*an alkaline live plant diet-fresh fruit,salad,raw vegetable,raw herb.extra virgin olive oil.once a month juice alkaline fruit vegetable for a week.use freshly squeezed lemon juice as a substitute to salt.water-purified/filtered water.
alkaline forming fruit-orange,banana,cherry,pineapple,peach,avocado,grape,blackberry,apple,pear,lemon,watermelon,mango,strawberry,kiwi,mandarin,fig,tomato.citrus fruit such as a lemon,orange contain organic acids and acid taste;they are not acid forming when metabolised.
alkaline forming vegetable-carrot,corn,mushroom,cabbage,celery,lettuce,zucchini,asparagus, spinach,broccoli.pepper,potato,sweet potato,pumpkin,cucumber,string bean, artichoke,pea,parsnip,radish,turnip,beetroot.
alkaline forming herb-marjoram,parsley,ginger,mint leaf,fennel leaf,basil leaf.
alkaline forming nut and seed-chestnut,almond.
alkaline forming oil-extra virgin olive oil(raw,pure,unrefined).
*condiments-coffee,tea,milk,alcohol;salt;sugar;food rich in starch,sugar,salt,fats,dairy;chocolate;garlic;onion;vinegar;wheat gluten and yeast eliminated.
*the alkaline live plant food elements make it possible to charge my body with enormous amounts of energy from natural breathing which provides optimal power for the mental and spiritual facilities.
*i chew alkaline live plant food thoroughly.chewing a much smaller quantity gives me more nourishment,better digestion making my body and mind in proper order.
*the best food is when i make my own starch,protein,fat,vitamins,mineral salts,enzymes directly in my own body by doing pranayama.
*the alkaline live plant food diet causes rhythm in breath,accordance in the physical body leading to self control,sensory withdrawal,concentration and unceasing meditation in the Consciousness.
*the alkaline live plant food emanates in vibrations,it has life and energy which charges the system.
*in order to nourish the more subtle body,the food i eat needs to contain prana,and this only comes from alkaline living foods.
*the alkaline fruit vegetable juice full fasting-is also one of the most effective and auspicious ways that purify my body,strengthen my mind and the subtle chakra energy centres of the astral body to a mental state of serene tranquility,calm,quietude,stillness,balance and harmony;thus to practice deep meditation and deep purification.
*the alkaline salad-makes it possible to charge my body with enormous amounts of energy from natural breathing which provides optimal power for the mental and spiritual facilities.the alkaline salad-is also one of the most effective and auspicious ways that purify my body,strengthen my mind and the subtle chakra energy centres of the astral body to a mental state of serene tranquility,calm,quietude,stillness,balance and harmony;thus to practice deep meditation and deep purification.salad 1.fennel leaf,mint leaf,parsley,lettuce,tomato,carrot.salad 2.zucchini,lettuce,eggplant,potato,spinach.salad 3.artichoke,pea,mushroom,asparagus,avocado.salad 4.beetroot,broccoli,cabbage,mushroom.salad 5.celery, asparagus,spinach,cucumber,green bean.salad 6.green pepper,snap pea,carrot,fennel leaf,sweet potato,parsnip.salad 7.radish,turnip,watercress,green pepper,basil leaf.salad 8.fennel leaf,basil leaf,parsley,mint leaf.
*juice-alkaline lemon at the start of the day.the alkaline lemon juice-makes it possible to charge my body with enormous amounts of energy from natural breathing which provides optimal power for the mental and spiritual facilities.the alkaline lemon juice-is also one of the most effective and auspicious ways that purify my body,strengthen my mind and the subtle chakra energy centres of the astral body to a mental state of serene tranquility,calm,quietude,stillness,balance and harmony;thus to practice deep meditation and deep purification.
*my yoga meditation:
*mindfulness and concentration in my yoga meditation.
*by practicing both mindfulness and concentration,i am able to be fearless and experience the vast impressions,learning the vital skill of non-attachment,while also using concentration to focus the mind in such a way as to be able to transcend the whole of the mind field,where there is only stillness and silence,beyond all of the impressions.where i can finally come to experience the center of consciousness,the absolute reality.
*the qualities of mindfulness and concentration dance together in my journey.
*when dealing with the senses and body,there is emphasis on exploring and examining,being open to all of the thoughts,emotions,and sensations.i systematically move attention through the parts and aspects of the body,fully experiencing the sensory impressions.
*when dealing with the breath,there comes a stage wherein i experience the energy or prana level alone.this is beyond,or deeper than the mechanical or gross breath,and does not involve the thought process of passing images.it involves solely concentrating on that level of my being.there is definitely a mindfulness of the play of energy within that level,and it is done in a concentrated,non-attached way.
*when attention goes further inward,there is the mind field itself.in this stage of practice,my senses have been withdrawn,and there is no longer any sensory awareness of the body,nor of the physical.i am now fully in the level of mind itself.here is still another form of mindfulness,exclusive of bodily sensation,and once again,concentration is my accompany.
*finally,i come near the end of the mind and all of its associated thoughts,emotions,sensations,and impressions.concentration is essential at this stage.as the 4.31 yoga sutra of patanjali (tada sarvaranamalapetasya jnanasyanantyajjneyamalpam) states,when the mind is free from the clouds that prevent perception,all is known,there is nothing to be known.the sun shines.all is evident.
*by working with both mindfulness and concentration,it is easy for me to see three skills in which my mind is trained,and how these go together:
*focus:my mind is trained to be able to pay attention,so as to not be drawn here and there,whether due to the spontaneous rising of impressions in meditation,or due to external stimuli.
*expansion:my ability to focus is accompanied by a willingness to expand the conscious field through that which is normally unconscious,including the center of consciousness. *non-attachment:my ability to remain undisturbed,unaffected and uninvolved with the thoughts and impressions of the mind is the key ingredient that goes along with my focus and expansion.
*bindu vedhana-
*balancing of the energies of ha and tha,sun and moon,ida and pingala,awakening kundalini,the pursuit of higher meditation through hatha yoga,which leads to bindu.
*balancing and awakening the manifestations of primal energy flowing through chakras in the channels called nadis,the most important of which is sushumna,which leads to bindu. *merging the static and all of the active manifestations of consciousness,through the countless forms of light and sound,retracing all of the energy to and through the point of bindu.
*beyond bindu-
*piercing the pearl of nondual wisdom is a stage of yoga and meditation,near the end of the subtlest aspect of my mind,after which i travel beyond and transcend the mind and its contents.it is near the end of time,space,and causation,and is the doorway to the absolute.this point of convergence works in conjunction with guru chakra(jnana chakra)and opens the channel to my guru and my teacher.while this is a universal process,it is also the channel used for the direct,internal transmissions of wisdom and experience given by my guru and my teacher.
*i come to see that the point of convergence is one and the same with the original point of divergence.the point of divergence and convergence is called bindu,the dot at the top of the AUM symbolizes turiya,the absolute reality,pure consciousness,purusha that is to be realized.the dot/bindu at the top of the symbol represents the doorway to the final goal of yoga.yoga means union,and the bindu is the symbol of that union.the sanskrit root of bindu is to break through/burst through.
*when attention on all of the gross and subtle objects and processes collapses,i move inward towards the bindu,there is a convergence on a point,one-pointedness of my mind.the journey to the bindu starts to become the experience of the source of light(jyotir bindu/tejo bindu) and the source of sound(nada bindu),as well as being the source out of which other sensations,mental processes emerge.
*i am able to see through,to enter and journey upward through sushumna channel and the chakras.i balance the energy in the chakras,so that the sushumna can be traversed,and the bindu experienced.the goal is to balance the energy systems of my subtle body so that the lower chakras can all be transcended in a deep practice.
*energy flows on the left and right side of my body,and those energies are known as ida and pingala.the central channel is called sushumna.it is important for me to balance the left and right,so that the central channel is predominant and open,flowing clearly.
*guru chakra is the doorway to that knowledge,to the wisdom and guidance of my guru and my teacher.i invite all of the thoughts and samskaras to arise in the mind field of ajna chakra and offer them into the higher knowledge,guru/jnana chakra(ajna and guru chakras are also called drikuti and trikuti.from that process the pathway is cleared,and higher wisdom and teachings come down to the ajna.eventually,awareness itself travels upward,receding through and beyond,to that which is the final abode,the absolute,yoga,the union.

your continuous callous/cunning/devious dishonesty/posts;comments;thoughts;words;actions;directed at me does not affect me.
my body and mind,my yoga asana,is proof against undesirable vibrations.
you are deficient in vital force or prana.practice deha suddhi(purity of body),nadi suddhi(purification of nadis),manas-suddhi(purity of mind) and buddhi suddhi(purity of intellect).
remove your weeds of cunningness,devious dishonesty,hatred,revenge,jealousy,pride,selfishness,anger,greed,hypocrisy.
destroy your avidya.
you are your own problem of your unregenerate human individual self.your human personality is the unfortunate playground for the qualities of cunningness,untruth,falsehood,deception,devious dishonesty,acquisition and a never-expanding process of sense satisfaction.no satiation.
you are nowhere if you argue too much.do not induce me to enter into your unnecessary controversies and discussions.you are only missing the goal of yoga.you are only a dry,talkative pundit.
i thirst for liberation,whose duty obeys the injunctions of the sastras,who has subdued my senses,who has a calm mind,and who possesses virtues like mercy,cosmic love,patience,humility,endurance,forbearance,etc.i have resolved to attain the free,everlasting fruits of yoga,eternal peace,infinite bliss and supreme joy.
charge your every action with pure love.via yoga kill your cunningness,greed,crookedness and selfishness.develop love in the garden of your heart by removing your weeds of cunningness,devious dishonesty,hatred,revenge,jealousy,pride,selfishness,anger,greed,hypocrisy.be pure.be cheerful.be happy.be benevolent.
obliterate your avidya.may you rest incomparably firm in your own self.
