Sahaja Yoga is a unique way of meditation that harmonizes the physical, mental, and spiritual envelopes of a person. This method is aimed at awakening the inner life energy - kundalini. The very name in translation means "unity with the creator".
Sahaja Yoga: a little history
Sahaja Yoga meditation is a relatively recent invention. In 1970, the movement was founded by Nirmala Shrivastava and gained wide popularity and popularity over the past forty-odd years. This movement, which apart from meditation also assumes a special world view and a certain way of life, is now very widespread and has its schools and followers in a hundred countries of the world.
There is also a general, international organization called Vishva Nirmala Dharma (or, as it is often called, Sahaja Yoga International). Despite the presence of the main organization and regional offices, in the records of the founder of the movement of Nirmala Shrivastava, it was especially emphasized that Sahaja Yoga does not presume any membership.
Sahaja Yoga: Books
The study of Sahaja Yoga should not begin with the study of mantras or meditation attempts. The most important thing is to comprehend the very essence of this movement, which proposes to plunge into a whole new world of sensations through deep meditations. To understand all the subtleties you will help special literature:
- the book "Sahaja Yoga";
- book of Mantras of Sahaja Yoga (there is a version in Russian);
- Yoga Mahajan's book "Ascent";
- Umesh Ray "Enlightened Medicine";
- book by Gregoire de Calbermattin "Coming";
- book of Yoga Mahajan "The new millennium will fulfill the ancient prophecies."
Of course, this is not a complete list, but even this literature will be enough to better understand the very essence of Sahaja Yoga.
Sahaja Yoga: Mantra
Mantras are special words that must be pronounced during meditation to raise the energy of kundalini. Energy moves along the spine from the bottom up, and mantras are designed to remove congestion on its way.
Each mantra involves referring to the Sanskrit to the Deity, which is part of the one God (because Hinduism is a monotheistic religion). They do not need to be repeated round the clock - it is right to use these special words only during meditation and strictly if necessary.
Sahaja Yoga: music for meditation
Sahaja Yoga and music are closely related - after all, deep meditation requires detachment, and the melody creates the necessary vibrations that help not fall asleep and at the same time distract from thoughts. It is this borderline state that allows you to successfully meditate and get complete relaxation, which is almost unattainable in other ways.
Of course, the best way for such purposes is classical Indian music - it is quite melodic, but at the same time it sounds fascinating. You can use almost any collection. Such music can be included not only during meditation, but also simply at home for energy cleaning of the room.
Puja Sahaja Yoga
Speaking about music, we can not fail to mention the most important aspect of Sahaja Yoga, which is the main reason not to practice at home, but to attend a special yoga center. This is puja, that is, collective meditation, which can take place in various forms. During such exercises, there are unusually pleasant sensations of energy tide and at the same time relaxation, because kundalini in this case rises much more than usual.
