Be Where You Are – #JustBeYou

When you are crying, friend,
Forget why you are crying,
And just let tears flow.

When you are laughing,
Forget the reason for laughter,
And laugh anyway.

When you are angry,
Just for a moment
Forget what made you angry,
And honor - even celebrate -
the raw, burning, throbbing sensations
in your body.

Come closer.
Be present.
Honor what is alive in you.

Let powerful energies move without a story, without blame, without judgement, without resistance.

(Yet allow resistance too
if that is what's alive in you.)

Know yourself as LIFE -
The unconditional space
for it all.

~ Jeff Foster

MANTRA – Part – I

Mantra: A tool for the mind – Glo | Blog

In the Vedas the mantra (sound) is the primary source from which the universe has sprung (in the Bible: “in the beginning it was the Verb”); it is the primordial vibration presents in every thing, the motor of the universe. Through the study and the search on the mantras the ancient wise man have discovered how we can be in harmony with the cosmos and with ourselves.

The Only Guide You Need for 'OM' Mantra Meditation | Meditative Mind

ॐ (Aum) it is the primordial sound, is the matrix of all that exists in the universe. it doesn’t have a particular meaning, it is rather a sacred syllable that represents the essence of the vital energy from which the creation has sprung. ॐ is the combination of three sounds: A – U – M. The A represents Brahma the creator, the conscience, the state of vigil. The U  represents Vishnu the preserver, the subconscious, the state of dream. The M represents Shiva the destroyer, the unconscious, the state of deep sleep. It can be noticed as these three letters are tightly correlated with the endless breath of the universe, in which the three strengths of creation, preservation and destruction continually follow one another and how they are correlated with the three dimensions of the human conscience.

The utilization of the sounds for spiritual purpose is universally used. In a lot of religions the continuous repeating of a sentence or a sacred sound with the help of a rosary (japa mala) represents the highest form of meditation. The mantras are the best vehicle in the meditation because through them the mind calms the incessant flow of thoughts and it settles in a state of deep concentration.


Bija Mantras

Bija means seed, root. It is a very powerful Mantra that usually consists of a single syllable. The Bija Mantra evoke particular aspects of nature or of the divine, each Devata has his or her own Bija. The greatest of all Bijas is Om or Pranava, because it is the symbol of Para-Brahman.

GAYATRI MANTRA

Why, How and the Importance of Gayatri Mantra! - ReSanskrit
The purpose of Gayatri mantra is to offer prayers to the sun god, Savitur. The god which has given us everything, which has made life possible on this planet, which grants us light and energy. The sun which always gives and never asks for anything in return, the Gayatri mantra is a way of giving back in the form of prayer and respect to that ever-giving entity. This mantra invokes a sense of inclusiveness; imagine you offering respects to the sun on behalf of all the beings in this world, wouldn’t that make you think much larger than just yourself? The correct mindset that we all need when we begin our day.

Why Gayatri Mantra is so popular?

Gayatri Mantra is from one of the oldest texts ‘Rig Veda’, composed by Sage Vishwamitra. It is a popular belief that Vishwamitra after long practice and penance discovered Gayatri mantra which according to him was not just a boon for himself but for the entire mankind. Upon chanting this mantra, the chanter and the listener both are most benefited with the vibrational positive energy of the mantra. And the fact that many practitioners have found Gayatri mantra so enriching, it has become popular over the centuries.

The Analysis (Dissection) of the Gayatri Mantra:
 (OM): The primeval sound
भूः (Bhur): Earth = Mooladhara;  the physical body/physical realm
भुवः (Bhuvah): Akash; the life force/the mental realm
स्वः (Swah): Heaven= Swadhishthana; the soul/spiritual realm
महः (Maha): Heart region.
जनः (Jana): To say ‘no’ for life and death.
तपः (Tapa): Ascetic practices in vishuddhi & Agnya.
सत्यम् (Satyam): Up to the Third Eye ( Brahma-Randhra ).
तत् (Tat): That – situated as it is; That (God)
सवितुर् (Savitur/Savita): Sa + Va + Ta = Sun, Ganges, Fire, Earth etc. including those endowed with knowledge and yoga.
र्वरेण्यं (Vareñyam): Va + Re + N + Ya + M : God Varuna; adore
भर्गो (Bhargo): Bha + Ra + Ga; effulgence (divine light)
देवस्य (Devasya): Da + Va + S + Ya; Supreme Lord
धीमहि (Dhīmahi): Dha + Ma + Ha; meditate
धियो (Dhiyo/Dhiya): Dha + Ya; the intellect
यो नः (Yo Nah): Ya + Na; May this light, Nah: Our
प्रचोदयात् (Prachodayāt): Pa + Ra + Cha + Da + Ya + T; illumine/inspire

Shrimad Bhagwad Gita : Ch9 verse 8

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुन: पुन: |

भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् || 8||

prakṛitiṁ svām avaṣhṭabhya visṛijāmi punaḥ punaḥ

bhūta-grāmam imaṁ kṛitsnam avaśhaṁ prakṛiter vaśhāt

The whole cosmic is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end.

prakṛitim—the material energy; svām—My own; avaṣhṭabhya—presiding over; visṛijāmi—generate; punaḥ punaḥ—again and again; bhūta-grāmam—myriad forms; imam—these; kṛitsnam—all; avaśham—beyond their control; prakṛiteḥ—nature; vaśhāt—force

This is one of the most beautiful shloka of chapter 9 (BG:9.8) of Bhagwad Gita. It signifies the power of Krishna and his creation. Krishna resides in each and everything as everything is created by him. The very element of our existence lies within these few beautiful words.

Krishna says that he only creates and then it is for us how we evolve. Though he is the supreme commander and directs everything with a neutral mind, it is for his creation to grow and evolve.

Krishna resides in each and everything as everything is created by him. The very element of our existence lies within these few beautiful words.

Curve back within yourself again and again till you have absolved yourself of all negative forces. Then create a beautiful human being who is above any form of pain and anger. Create a human who is not affected by the proceedings around him and takes everything in his stride with a calm and composed mind.

DIETS

* Diets for: Constitution VATA – Constitution PITTA – Constitution KAPHA
Physical exercise for the 3 dosha

To establish of what type of constitution we are and to establish a diet is good routine to address to an ayurvedic physician.


In this section the matter is treated in general line to better understand the principles and the techniques of Ayurveda.

The diet, being of primary importance, has a big consideration in ayurvedic medicine. In western country is given more importance to the quantity of calories of the food and the classification in fat, carbohydrates, proteins etc., with little consideration on the digestive ability of the consumer, on the season, on the mental state of the individual or on the equilibrium of the energies in body and mind. According to the ancient Indian medicine the diet is above all a tool of preservation of the state of health and prevention of illness. That’s why we cannot ignore these important factors that so heavily influence our psycophysic equilibrium.

AYURVEDA

Lord Dhanwantri

In this section some fundamental principles of the ancient Indian medicine Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is the composition of two sanscrit words Ayur  life and Veda  knowledge, its meaning is therefore science of life. The tradition wants the teachings of this ancient medicine to be reached by the Avatar (divine incarnation) Dhanvantari.
It is an ancient system which was improved during the course of time that drew its principles from the Vedic knowledge. It has been widely used in India over the millennia and is still one of the medicines most commonly used in the Indian subcontinent.

Ayurveda is a medicine which deals man in his physical, mental and spiritual aspects, trying to heal the sick, prevent disease and maintain our own equilibrium state.

5 Elements of Ayurveda | Yoga Teacher Training Bali | Yoga Teacher ...

According to Ayurveda the universe is governed by 5 elements: EARTH – WATER – FIRE – AIR – ETHER. In our body these elements govern the 3 Dosha, the physical structure and the 3 Guna the mental structure.

The balance of all these elements determines the state of health.

In Ayurveda are described seven types of tissues of the body, known as saptadhatu. It is plasma (rasa dhatu),  blood (Rakta dhatu),  meat (mamsa dhatu), adipose tissue (medha dhatu), bone (asthi dhatu), the marrow and the nervous system (majja dhatu), and reproductive tissue (semen or female reproductive tissue) (sukra dhatu).

Sapta Dhatu in Ayurveda (Seven Types of Tissues) | Ayur Times

The eight branches of Ayurveda are:

  • Internal medicine (Kaya-cikitsa)
  • Paediatrics (Kaumrabhṛtyam)
  • Surgery (Shalya-cikitsa)
  • Opthalmology and Otolaryngology (Shalakya tantra)
  • Psychiatry (Bhuta vidya)
  • Toxicology (Agadatantram)
  • Prevention of diseases, improving immunity and rejuvenation (Rasayana)
  • Aphrodisiacs and improving health of progeny (Vajikaranam)

Ancient Ayurvedic books:

The 96 aspects of life

According to the Siddha tradition there are 96 aspects of life supported by the individual soul, the Purusha.

Hitesh Chandel - Author of "Code of Citizen's Conduct (Rashtradharma)"

Life is lived through the 5 motor organs, Pancha Karmendriya, which correspond to the 5 senses and the 5 elements.

  • Mouth (expression) – hearing – ether
  • Hands (grab) – touch – air
  • Foot (move) – sight – fire
  • Urino-genital organs (emission) – taste – water
  • Anus (elimination) – smell – earth

The organs of action allow acting in the physical world and then allowing the mind to make new experiences. They are expressive and their receptive capacity is given by the sense organs. The organs of action are more related to the five gross elements while the sense organs correspond more to Tanmatras or thin elements.

Given that requires movement, the body has five hollow organs, 5 Asayas.

  • Colon
  • Intestine
  • Stomach
  • Bladder
  • Ovary / Prostate

The Asayas are important because the body needs energy that is forfeited through food to generate movement.

All of us live by 5 types of actions:

  • With the mouth we talk and eat
  • With arms we take and give
  • With legs we go
  • With the genitals we reproduce
  • With the excretory organs we eliminate
Ayurvedic Doshas | Vata Pitta Kapha

The 5 actions of the body, walking, working, talking, release and procreating, are governed by Tridoshas derived by Pancha Mahabhutas.

  • Vata – movement
  • Pitta – nourishment
  • Kapha – rest

All matter consists of the five elements, Pancha Mahabhutas, which are understood as levels of density of matter itself.

  • Ether – Akasha
  • Air – Vayu
  • Fire – Teja / Agni
  • Water – Jala
  • Earth – Pritvi
Pancha Mahabootha - Ojas Ayurveda

The elements are the means which are necessary for the expression of Cosmic Intelligence.

  • Ether: manifests the idea of space, communication and expression
  • Air: manifests the idea of time, of the change and provides the basis for thought
  • Fire: manifests the idea of light, perception and movement
  • Water: manifests the idea of life, liquidity and flowing movement
  • Earth manifests the idea of form, solidity and stability

To have the experience of the outside world need the 5 sensory organs, Pancha Jñanendriyas; each of them corresponds to a quality of sense (Tanmatra) and an element

Ear – hearing organ – ether

Skin – organ of touch – air

Eye – organ of sight – fire

Tongue – organ of taste – water

Nose – organ of smell – earth

The sense organs, also called organs of knowledge, allow the experience of the outside world. It is noteworthy that through the sense organs we can assimilate the Pancha Tanmatras as subtle elements then they feed on a subtle level; that’s why there is the Vedic dictum “what you see, you become.”

Indriya Pancha Panchaka: 5 Fives Of Sense Organs |

The sensory organs are generated by the 5 senses, Pancha Tanmatra, derived from the interaction of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.

Shabda – hearing – ether

Sparsha – touch – air

Rupa – sight – fire

Rasa – taste – water

Gandha – smell – earth


The Pancha Tanmatras create the manifested worlds in the form of a seed; they create the causal or ideal world, the world of ideas that precedes any form of material expression.

Senses work through the 10 Vayus. (5 Major – 5 Minor)

The 5 Vayus - Anam Cara Manila - Medium
  • Prana Vayu – moves inward and governs the taking of substances and receiving of all kinds, has a propulsive nature and generates movement. Prana Vayu gives positive energy to all other prana.
  • Apana Vayu – goes down and ejects, goes out and governs the elimination at all levels. Apana, which is the basis of immune function, is the vital energy of the lower part of the abdomen.
  • Samana Vayu – moves from the periphery toward the center with an action of shuffling and discernment, in charge of processing and digestion at all levels.
  • Udana Vayu – is the energy of the throat that governs Word, self-expression, body growth, the ability to stand and make efforts, enthusiasm and willingness.
  • Vyana Vayu – moves from the center to the periphery and is the energy that is in the heart and lungs, governs the transport and movement at all levels.
  •  Naga Vayu – responsible for the expulsion from the mouth and nose. Nagan is instinctive; it is the movement responsible for protecting the body’s defense. For example, in case of wind eyes are closed instinctively.
  • Kurma Vayu – responsible for the hiccups and swallow reported not only to food but also to situations, feelings, duties that don’t like, etc.
  •  Krikara Vayu – responsible for the contrary movement of food and any movement outside the normal. For example, vomiting.
  • Devadatta Vayu – responsible for the opening and closing movement of eye lashes and the sneeze; It helps in protecting the body control systems.
  • Dhananjaya Vayu – responsible for joints creaking and contractures, the yawning and burping, helps rid the body of harmful gas residue. For example, when the prana becomes of poor quality, we yawn.

The 12 Nadis branch out from 3 Mandalas (centers).

  • Agni Mandala – governs digestive system and is located in the abdomen
    Chakras: Manipura, Swadhisthana and Muladhara 
  • Surya Mandala – governs the heart and circulation and is located in the solar plexus
    Chakras: Vishuddi and Anahata
  • Chandra Mandala – governs the nervous system and is located in the brain and in the head
    Chakras: Sahasrara and Ajña

Vayus, Nadis and Mandalas are ruled by the 7 Chakras.

The chakras are located along the spine and are the seven major energy centers in the human body; each of them corresponds to specific features in both physical and spiritual.

  • Muladhara Chakra – Basilar origin. It is located at the base of the spine, in the pelvic region; represents the Earth element. The practice on this chakra helps to maintain stability.
  • Swadhisthana Chakra – Headquarters of health. It is located in the pelvic region and is considered the origin of the self; represents the Water element. The practice on Swadhisthana free from emotional blocks.
  • Manipura Chakra – Light of the jewels. It is located at the navel in the cavity of the abdomen; represents Karma, fate, and its element is Fire. The practice on Manipura facilitates metabolism, digestion, assimilation and elimination.
  • Anahata Chakra – Not known Sound. It is located in the chest cavity near the heart and represents the Air element. The practice on this chakra is blossoming love, tenderness and compassion.
  • Vishuddha Chakra – Great purification. It is located in the hollow of the throat and represents the element Ether. The practice on it purifies and revitalizes the organism due to transformation from negative energy into positive. It increases energy and creativity.
  • Ajña Chakra – Dominance. Its name means knowing, sensing and control. It is located in the cranial cavity, in the middle of the forehead, and represents the mind. The practice on this chakra helps to think and analyze giving clarity.

The 7 Chakras derive from 5 types of bodies, Pancha Kosham.

  • Anna Maya Kosham – It is the physical body nourished by the food, it contains everything from soul to mind, etc.
  • Prana Maya Kosham – It is the energetic functional body that is nourished through the breath; without prana there is no life.
  • Mano Maya Kosham – It is the mental body that is nourished with thoughts.
  • Vijñana Maya Kosham – It is the intellectual body which is fed by knowledge and wisdom.
  • Ananda Maya Kosham – It is the blessed body that is nourished by pure consciousness, by the soul.

The soul sustains all bodies through the consciousness of intellect, thoughts, energy and structure.

The 5 Koshams have 2 types of action, 2 Karmas.

  • Nal Vinai – good destiny
  • Thi Vinai – bad destiny

The 2 Karma produce 3 types of slag, 3 Mala.

Anavam – main ego (wanting to sleep, wake up, hating, loving, enter in meditation)

Maya – illusion, ignorance

Kama – greed, too much desire.

We all live subjected to ego, illusions and desires. Although we have no longer desires, we continue to live because we are subjected to Maya, and also eliminating Maya, the ego continues to persist; to go beyond we should tend towards the Purusha burning the ego. The process of the manifestation takes place through a series of successive divisions with which various creatures and different objects come into existence. Ahamkara more than a reality in itself is a process, a series of thoughts that divide, not a real entity. This is a division power that is essential to the manifestation of multiplicity; it is a stage of evolution, but is not the fundamental truth or true nature of creatures that is represented by the Pure Consciousness beyond personification. Through ego the basic potentialities of the matter (Prakriti) and the fundamental laws contained in the Cosmic Intelligence (Mahat) take a specific form. The basic qualities of nature differ in three groups of five: five senses, five organs of action and five elements. These arise from Ahamkara through Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, the Triguna.

If Buddhi is intelligence that allows to turn the gaze to deep and inner nature of things, the ego, which by its nature is outwards, creates the mind and the senses, tools that allow the individual to operate. Ayurveda places great emphasis on understanding of the ego and the inevitable distortions created by its influence; a proper understanding of the ego causes our judgment remains balanced and our actions are aimed at the universal good. Break free from the ego’s domain causes the dissolution of all psychological disorders and physical diseases.

The 3 Malas are controlled by 3 Gunas.

Sattva – pure-light, soul, white, purity, serenity

Rajas – dynamic-heat, ego, red, dynamism, activity

Tamas – inert-structure, body, black, quiet, inertia

If we want to sleep, Nidra, serves Tamas; If we are to be alert, Jakrata, serves Rajas; If we want to be in Ecstasy, Turyam, serves Sattva.

The 3 Gunas have 9 types of tastes, sensations, Nava Rasa.

Srangram / Viruppu – love, joy, let in, acceptance, East

Bhibastam / Veruppu – hatred, dismiss, let out, rejection, West

Karunayam/Santosham, Sukam – happiness, joy, comfort

Dukham – sadness, suffering

Raudram / Krodham – resentment, anger

Shantham – serenity, tranquility

Viram – dignity, strength, courage

Bhayam – fear

Hasyam – humor, irony in a positive, fun, laughs, taking life lightly

Shantham: this tranquility can take over in a state of silence. This state happens naturally for a very short time, so that we are not able to recognize it; in meditation practice we try to bring this state to longer times and to recognize it.

We find the 9 Rasas in 5 types of status, conditions, Pancha Avastha.

Jakrat – waking state; be ready, alert. Consciousness is associated with the mental and to the senses.

Svapna – dream state; with eyes open or closed. Consciousness is in the subtle body, associated with the mental.

Sushupti – state of dreamless sleep; be asleep, peaceful, calm. Consciousness is in the causal body.

Turiya – state of meditation; deep consciousness, ecstasy, how to enjoy life outside or on inside, blissful. Consciousness is in the great

causal body – Mahakarana.

Turiyatita – state of pure consciousness – Unmesha; silence, total annulment which can be all the other consciousnesses.

Avastha is the state of the soul. In all the states is used the consciousness but the kind of state depends on the environment. The first three states are associated with Avidya (ignorance); Vikriti with the first two and the third with Prakriti. Pure consciousness is not taking part of normal life, goes beyond; even if one lives the life, he lives differently. Turiya is the state of deep meditation, Samadhi; Turiyatita is the state of meditation in life.

The 5 Avasthas live in 4 aspects, subtle causes, the 4 Andakarnis.

Manas – superficial mind, virtual mind, psyche, emotions

Siddam – subconscious, deep mind; memorizes

Buddhi – individual intelligence

Ahamkar – ego

A sattvic ego empties siddam while a tamasic ego fills. Siddam andakarna is always present because there is always the karma or destiny of the soul.

These 96 aspects are supported by the soul, Atma, Purusha.
