Inauspicious times of the day

Rahu Kalam and Ketu's Kala Deepam

Every planet in every day has it's ruling time. Ravi, Chandra, Kuja, Budha, Guru, Sukra and Sani planets will have it's Hora timings. During the particular planet rules at a particular time. It is other wise called a 'Hora Time'.

Like wise Rahu also has its ruling time. It is called a Rahukalam. Like wise Ketu also has its own time but it is not in light. No one starts any ventures, or travels or any other matters during this period as Rahu Kalam as it will give negative effects. To nullify the negative effects of Rahu, antecedents quote if lighting a deepa at the point of Rahu Kalam in a Goddess deity temple,the negative effects will be nullified. By lighting a deepa in Rahu kalam, the native will get the blessings of Goddess Kanakadurga.

To guard the negative effects of Rahu kalam, the only one who could effectively nullify the negative effects of Rahu is Lord Maha Ganapati. If we light a deepam at the foot of Lord Maha Ganapati, all negative effects will be nullified. Progress can be seen and things will be fulfilled. The natives who are under the evil influence of Rahu can do so to wipe off the negative effects of Rahu.

Those natives who are suffering with more difficulties due to the effect of evil effects of other plants, the only solution available is to light a lamp at the foot of Maha Ganapati on Sunday and Wednesday. The pratima should be placed on dharba for more positive results.

Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati Mahasamadhi 5 Dec. 2009

2009-12-06T21:11:00.005+01:00

Text below quoted from here.

Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati took Mahasamadhi today in Rikhia, India. He was a great disciple of Swami Sivanananda of Rishikesh and the founder of the Bihar School of Yoga among other prominent and beneficial institutions.

Paramahamsaji brought many practical and authentic Tantrik teachings to people around the world through his teaching centers and numerous books. Later in life, he performed an ancient, multi-year Tantrik fire ceremony – the panchagni. When he completed that arduous sadhana, he handed over the lineage to his successor, Paramahamsa Niranjanananda Saraswati.

Subsequently, Paramahamsaji embarked on a great expansion of the charitable works of the lineage. He became a more pronounced proponent of Bhakti, and undertook the economic and social upliftment of 50,000 villagers in and around Rikhia. Two recent movies have documented the annual Sat Chandi festival at Rikhia and the unique and thoughtful manner in which charitable works are carried out by the lineage.

Although I never met Paramahamsaji in person, his writings, especially his early books on the Guru-disciple relationship, shaped me profoundly. He also helped me at several crucial moments in my life through dreams and in other ways.

Now is a wonderful time to meditate on this great Guru, to offer your prayers for his future unfolding, and to open to the never-ending flow of Guru’s grace.

In Ma’s love,
Shambhavi

Govardhana Puja and Dipavali Festival - 18 October. Radhadesh, Belgium

2009-12-03T21:58:00.010+01:00

The term "Govardhana' has two meanings. The word "Go' means cows, and "vardhana' means nourishment. In the other meaning "Go' stands for senses and "vardhana' means to increase the diversion of the senses towards Sri Krishna. Both these jobs are done by Sri Giriraja. He kindly blesses the devotee by increasing his devotion. Thus by residing in the foothills of Sri Giriraja, all the senses and their respective duties of a soul attain divinity and are inclined to serve the Lotus Feet of Krishna.

While Diwali (Dipavali) is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning is "the awareness of the inner light".

Central to Hindu philosophy is the assertion that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness (removes all obstacles and dispels all ignorance), awakening the individual to one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With the realization of the Atman comes universal compassion, love, and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings Ananda (inner joy or peace).

The gunas are the underlying forces or tendencies which one needs to have unaffected, direct relation with in order to find effectiveness and righteousness in life: they are lines of potential and illuminate thought and action, thus the inner meaning of Diwali being the festival of lights.

Diwali celebrates this through festive fireworks, lights, flowers, sharing of sweets, and worship. While the story behind Diwali varies from region to region, the essence is the same - to rejoice in the inner light (Atman) or the underlying reality of all things (Brahman).

Celebrating the Birthday of Guru Ram Das - October 9

2009-10-09T15:25:00.002+02:00

Yogi Bhajan gave us a special sadhana in honor of the birth of Guru Ram Das. This sadhana is a 2½ hour recitation of the complete Shabad (sacred song) of "Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru." We practice this Shabad to ignite the power of our prayer. As Yogi Bhajan said, "Any move you make, you must pray because that ignites the power. Ignite the power and then go. Let God take care of it." Guru Ram Das is the Lord of Miracles and so on this day pray for your miracle!

About Guru Ram Das

Guru Ram Das began his life as a humble orphan named Jetha. He used to sell wheat berries in the street near the home of the third Sikh Master, Guru Amar Das. One day, Guru Amar Das called the boy into see him. He saw the spirit of Jetha, his Light, his humility, service and love.

"Guru Amar Das said to him, ‘You are not an orphan. You shall be the savior of orphans. All spiritual orphans shall be saved at your home. Jetha, this world is burning in anger and the mesh of lust. People have left God. They have forgotten the Purkha and the Praakirtee. They are all orphans. You shall be the savior of all spiritual orphans. I will marry my daughter to you and you shall be my son-in-law. Therefore, as a custom, I have to respect you.' Guru Amar Das folded his hands, and requested the boy to go and ask his relatives if they could honor him by accepting this relationship. Can you believe from where destiny starts and to where it leads? A miracle happened which never happened before and never has happened since. Jetha, that little orphan boy, became Guru Ram Das. When God smiles at you, you need not go to God; God comes to you." - Yogi Bhajan. (Published in Sikh Dharma Magazine. Vol. III No. 4 Winter 1978)

When we meditate on the Shabad, Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru, we are placing ourselves in the position of witnessing this miracle - of how the hand of the Divine arranged the affairs of a humble, bright and beautiful soul. We are calling on the Subtle and Radiant body of Guru Ram Das to bless us so that we can be part of that miracle. As Guru Ram Das was carried across his karmas to this destiny, so his blessing can touch us and carry us across, as well. This is the power of chanting Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru.

Yoga Festival 28 July - 5 August 2009

2009-07-22T14:53:00.002+02:00

More than 1500 people from as many as 20 different countries come together for 8 days on the grounds of a country estate in the Loire Valley in France, to practice Kundalini Yoga, White Tantra Yoga and other activities related to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Each year the Festival highlights a specific aspect of Yoga, but it also provides special attention to newcomers who have little or no experience of Yoga practice.

This years Theme

Yogi Bhajan says about this:

“It is the subtle beauty which attracts wealth and prosperity. It is the subtle beauty which is always in you till death. When that starts flowing, then God starts working for you. Do you understand that?

If today you have decided that you are not happy, remember you are not relating to your own subtle self. Spiritual communication and spiritual strength all over the world will only relate to you if you relay the message through your subtle self, because subtle self has a common center of knowledge and activity. That’s why the soul leaves the physical body inside the subtle body." (Yogi Bhajan)

What is your inner nationality?

2009-04-23T15:12:00.003+02:00

I've just completed a quiz about my inner nationality and they say that I am Spanish!
Cool, always wanted to be one!
"The world is your oyster. You are confident -- or at least, confident in your self-expression, and this often leads to confidence in all things. You love your friends and hate your enemies, and when you want something, you go out and get it. You are both bold and friendly, sunny and perspicacious. You laugh frequently, smile even more, but are not a sucker and will always fight for yourself."

I'm back home!

2009-01-10T08:15:00.016+01:00

India is one big mystery!
I'm so happy that my never loud-spoken dream came true so suddenly.
Few points to summarize my impressions:

1. Goa is a fantastic place to catch a breath and relax, perfect destination for a colder season.
The tableau of Goa showcases religious harmony by focusing on the Deepastambha, the Cross, Ghode Modni followed by a chariot. Western royal attire of kings and regional dances being performed depict the unique blend of different religions and cultures of the State.

2. Kerala - the land of Ayurveda, worth a separate visit in the future.
According to legend, Kerala was an Asura-ruled kingdom under Mahabali. Onam, the national festival of Kerala, is dedicated to Maveli's memory. Another legend has Parasurama, an avatar of Mahavishnu, throwing his battle axe into the sea; from those waters, Kerala arose.

3. Sivananda ashram is one of these rare places where one can learn about their subtle self. The ashram program covers classical yoga techniques, taught in a warm and friendly environment, helps to instil in guests a deep awareness of the spiritual essence of life.

Gobinde Singh

2008-08-11T20:01:00.003+02:00

I have a big news to share with those who care. In my pursue to master Kundalini Yoga I have undertaken many activities and now have been fully rewarded!
On my birthday I have received the most beautiful gift of my lifetime, I have been given a spiritual name. This is the email that I had received from the Kundalini Yoga Organisation officials:

You have been blessed to live as Gobinde Singh, which means the Lion of God who belongs to the Lord of the universe, who helps everyone, and who walks with grace and courage throughout his life.

Gobinde means the Lord of the Universe, one who serves all. Singh means the Lion of God who walks with grace and courage throughout his life. Singh is a name that Yogi Bhajan gave to all men. He taught that every man has the potential to attain a true state of grace and courage, to be a great lion-warrior for God, and he encouraged each man to manifest that potential.

Using the name Gobinde Singh will expand your consciousness so that you experience yourself as a true servant of all, and so that you support the higher consciousness of yourself and everyone you serve.

The power of a Spiritual Name is that the more people speak your name, the more it permeates into your being…and the more you will experience its power to manifest in your life. The power of that 'Naadh' can have an effect on you at the cellular level. The vibration of the word actually vibrates your cells, and restructures them to come into harmony with your spiritual names meaning, which reflects your destiny.

You are the pure love of God. Create a connection with it and share it wherever you go.

May Guru Ram Das bless you and guide you, now and forever. In the Name of the Cosmos which prevails through everyBODY, and the Holy Nam which holds the world.

Many blessings,

M.S.S. Nirinjan Kaur Khalsa
Chief of Staff

Yoga Festival, Fondjouan - 2008

2008-08-04T13:06:00.012+02:00

Kundalini Yoga and White Tantra festival was held this year on 22-28 June in a beautiful "Domaine de Fondjouan" in France and the theme was "Energy and Vitality"
Yogi Bhajan, the Master of both, tantra and yoga, taught that a human being consist of ten "bodies". Beyond our familiar physical body, there are other, more etheric bodies that deal with our feelings, mind, karma, projection and protection. These bodies go throuh many processes and transformations, and each one offers us a potential for growth. For ten years, each Yoga Festival focuses on one of the different bodies. This year we worked on the eighth subtle body, the pranic body. Yogi Bhajan says about this: "You are a bunch of molecules living by the pranic body. You are nothing more, nothing less. Human existence is a combination of the pranic body and the energy of the psyche in proportion. This concept is very difficult. I don't want to be "I" I don't want to be "we" I want to be "just as it is".
The love of existence, of our lives, and of our breathing will be in need of the flow of the psyche in us; therefore, we can be a real combination of self within the self. And the sensory system that will develop automatically out of us will be our archangel protecting us and glorifying us.
Those who hustle and hassle and move and want will suffer. They will not get what they want. Now the time has come that we will have a meditative mind to wait and see what come to us" (Yogi Bhajan)

Three weddings on the Festival day.

5 Elements with Karta Singh

2008-08-02T10:23:00.012+02:00

This year, on June 23-27 Karta Singh Khalsa gave the training on 5 elements to the 1st level of the KY teachers training students himself. It was the week full of vents. Sorry, I did not shot many photos this time, just a few on the day of Fire. On that day we built a sweatlodge in the woods and spent the whole night there learning how Fire manifests.
On other days we covered the Earth, Water, Air and Ether (Akash) elements.
In the end of the training I wrote the exam and now Karta has to decide if my knowledge and practical skills suffice to give me the KY teacher diploma.

Guus Meeuwis - Proosten

2008-07-04T17:24:00.003+02:00

GUUS MEEUWIS - PROOSTEN
[Guus Meeuwis]

Laten we proosten op het leven
Laat het leven je omarmen
Sla je armen om de liefste
Want de liefste dat ben jij

Nu gaan we toosten op het minnen
Laat het minnen zegevieren
Want we vieren vandaag de liefde
En mijn liefde dat ben jij

Laten we klinken op de vrouwen
Want in de vrouwen zit muziek
En muziek helpt overleven
En mijn leven dat ben jij

Want het lijkt wel of we allemaal vergeten zijn
hoe je lachen moet
Het lijkt wel of wij mensen niet meer weten
hoe je zingt
Hoe je danst hoe je bemint

Sluit de rijen, pak de handen
Pak de handen van die ander
Want de ander hoort er bij
Zoals jij hoort bij jou en mij

Sluit de rijen, pak de handen
Pak de handen van die ander
Want de ander hoort er bij
Zoals jij hoort bij jou en mij

Laten we proosten op het leven
Laat het leven je omarmen
Sla je armen om mijn liefste
Want de liefste dat ben jij
Want de liefste dat ben jij

EINDHOVEN - Tijdens zijn laatste concertreeks 'Groots met een zachte G' in het Philips Stadion in Eindhoven, speelde Guus Meeuwis voor het eerst 'Proosten'. Het nummer werd meteen goed ontvangen en is inmiddels een hit.

Training with Karta

2008-06-19T21:44:00.003+02:00

The guy on the right is Satya Singh, the one on the left is Karta Singh, and I will follow the training by him.
It will take 5 days and 5 nights.
The training is called "5 elements" and will be about 5 basic elements of the Universe,
Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether - The pancha mahabhuta, or "five great elements",
Or if you prefere: Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu and Akash...
Or yet another way to call them: Bhumi, Udaka, Agni, Vayu and Gagana.
Each day we will take one element and learn how to recognize it's manifestation in the everyday world.
The elements correlate with chakras in a human body the following way:

Sahasrara (Crown): Thought/Space
Ajña (Third Eye): Light/Dark
Vishuddhi (Throat): Ether/Sound
Anahata (Heart): Air
Manipura (Navel): Fire
Svadhisthana (Sacral): Water
Muladhara (Root): Earth

KY meditation to totally recharge you

2008-05-21T21:55:00.002+02:00

What It Will Do for You

This meditation totally recharges you.
It is an antidote to depression. It builds a new system, gives you the capacity and caliber to deal with life, and gives you a direct relationship with your pranic body.

How to Do It
Sit with a straight spine in easy pose. Arms are extended straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground. Close your right hand into a fist. Wrap your left fingers around it. The bases of the palms touch. The thumbs are close together and are pulled straight up. The eyes are focused on the thumbs.

Now inhale for 5 seconds (do not hold the breath in); exhale for 5 seconds; hold the breath out for 15 seconds. Continue.

Start with 3 - 5 minutes and work up to 11 minutes. Build up the time slowly.
In time, you can work up to holding the breath out for 1 full minute.

It was a nice week away

Brahma-Muhurta

2008-04-18T00:57:00.004+02:00

Q	What is the exact time of the "Brahma Muhurta"? What is its importance?



A		The exact time of brahma muhurta is between 4 and 6 a.m. It is acknowledged to be the time when sattva manifests itself in us. Essentially, we are all combination of the three gunas sattva, rajas and tamas. Brahma muhurta is the time when our sattvika content comes to the forefront. It is the ideal time for thinking and reflection on the truths laid down in Vedanta. Rajas manifests itself after 6 a.m. It is the time when the day’s activities begin, children have to get ready for school, mothers have to prepare food for the family and office-goers begin getting ready for work. These mark the beginning of a cycle of frenetic activity. It is after sundown that tamas begins to manifest itself. A time when all indulgent activities begin. Brahma muhurta has tremendous importance in our lives as it is the time when we can invest our energies in developing our sattvika content. It is a time when the mind is calm, free from distractions of the world and the intellect fresh from a good night’s sleep. Thus one is able to focus the mind on absorbing Vedantic knowledge. Brahma muhurta must be optimally utilised because the spiritual path is about developing sattva and eradicating rajas and tamas. Brahma muhurta is the time to develop this sattva in us. So just as we invest our financial resources so as to maximise them, we must invest our sattvika resources to maximise our sattvika content and we must invest in sattva.

KY meditation to handle a grave situation

2008-01-31T22:46:00.001+01:00

What It Will Do for You

This is a very simple and ancient meditation to resolve conflict in us. If you do it, you'll enjoy it. Just see what changes you go through; just supervise yourself. It is a psychotherapy.
The moment the body knows the breath is out it starts adjusting at the highest rate of efficiency. The theory is that when the breath is out and the prana is not there the pranic body starts penetrating through the other bodies to create the combination. The computer must figure out how to allow you and your cells, which need x amount of oxygen, to survive.

if you have a most grave situation to handle, 5 minutes of this will take care of it.

How to Do It
Sit with the legs crossed. Press the hands on the breasts, palms in, fingers pointing toward each other. The hands are relaxed with the fingers extended and joined. This is a comfortable position with very littie pressure and no tension in the arms and hands.

Close the eyes 9/10 of the way. Deeply inhale for 5 seconds. Completely exhale for 5 seconds, and hold the breath out for 15 seconds.
Begin with 11 minutes and slowly build to 31 minutes.

Surya Namaskar or the Sun Salutation is a most complete series of postures. It is a very good exercise which takes only a few minutes to do and serves as a warm up routine before the practice of yoga asanas. It is one of the best home exercises requiring little space, only eight by three feet. Be sure to have enough space to lie down, and enough clearance to stretch the arms above the head while standing.

Surya namaskar consists of a sequence of twelve postures performed continuously and combined with synchronized breathing. Each position counteracts the preceding one producing a balance between flexions and extensions. The postures are as follows:

	1. Namaskar - salute. Stand erect with feet together and join the palms in the center of the chest in the style of Indian salute and inhale. Then exhale and push the hands down straightening and lowering the arms until the elbows touch the sides. This standing pose is also known as tadaasana.
	2. Chandraasan - crescent moon pose. Inhale and raise the arms above the head and extend the spine backwards arching the back from the waist and moving the hips forward. Let the eyes follow the hands while relaxing your neck.
	3. Hastapadaasan - bending pose. Begin to exhale bending forward from the waist and place the hands on the floor besides each foot. Relax with your head and neck in a bending pose.
	4. Surya darshan - sun gaze. Inhale and putting your weight on the hands stretch the right leg behind like a stick resting on the toes. Bend the knee and place it on the floor with your weight on the left foot and arch the spine backward. Lift the head and neck first up and then back. Roll the eyes up. The left foot remains between the hands.
	5. Himalayan - mountain pose. Exhale and bring the left foot back in line with the right. Lift the hips up high like a mountain. Push the heels and head down and look at the toes with the head down between the arms.
	6. Sashtang dandawat - lie down. Put the knees down first and then bring the chest down. See that eight parts of the body are touching the floor including two feet, two knees, two hands, the chest and the chin or forehead. Sashtang means eight limbs and dandawat means paying homage by touching the floor. Make sure the hips are slightly raised above the ground. Inhale and exhale in this position. Keep the feet together.
	7. Bhujangaasan - cobra pose. Lower the pelvis and abdomen to the floor. Inhale and stretch the toes on the floor. Raise your head slowly up, arch the spine and neck and look up. Keep your legs together and the elbows alongside the body slightly bent and keep the shoulders down.
	8. Himalaya aasan. Exhale and wiggle your toes forward allowing your feet to rest on the soles while your raise the hips as your did in number 5.
	9. Surya darshan. Inhale and bring the right foot forward and assume pose number 4 exactly as before.
	10. Hastapadaasan. Exhale and bring the right foot forward and assume pose number 3.
	11. Chandraasan. Inhale and stretch up in a standing pose with your arms up and bend backwards like in pose number
	12. Namaskar. Exhale and stand erect bringing the hands back to the center of the chest with palms together as in pose number 1.

Mirabile Futurum

2007-12-09T18:46:00.001+01:00

Audio vocem de mirabili futuro,
Matutinam vocem, rore humidam.
Audio vocem, et pericula ventura
Turbant mentem, sicut puero cuidam.

R.: Mirabile futurum, ne esto mihi durum,
Ne esto mihi durum, ne esto durum.
Origine ex pura ad optimum futurum,
Ad optimum futurum iam nunc egressus sum.

Audio vocem de mirabili futuro,
Illa vocat me in loca divina.
Audio vocem semper interrogaturam:
Quid iam fecerim pro die crastina?

Iuro me futurum bonum atque castum
Nec amicum relicturum miserum.
Audio vocem et festino hoc vocatu
Via aspera ad illud futurum.

KY meditation to prevent aging

2007-11-30T23:07:00.001+01:00

What It Will Do for You

To brighten your auric light, have a radiant face and prevent yourself from aging, practice this meditation.

How to Do It

Sit straight in easy pose. Chant the Mul Mantra, inhaling completely before each phrase:

EK ONG KAR; SAT NAAM; KARTA POORKH (let the whole breath go through the nose); NIR BHAO; NIR VAIR; AKAL MOORT; AJOONEE; SAIBHUNG; GUR PRASAAD; JAP (let the whole breath go through the nose); AAD SASHSHHH (releases breath with a hiss); JUGAAD SACHSHHH (releases breath with a hiss); HAI BHEE SACHSHHH (releases breath with a hiss); NAANAK HOSEE BHEE SACHSHHH (releases breath with a hiss).

Each time you inhale you must do so to your maximum capacity and each phrase must use the entire breath. On words like AKAAL MOORT, where the sound isn't really extended, release the breath through the mouth with a light "uhh..." sound. On KARTA POORKH and JAP, release the breath through the nose. This is the whole secret: the last 4 phrases are ended with the breath released through the mouth like the sound of a hissing snake.

Chant for a minimum of 11 minutes a day for 40 days. Since each person has a different lung capacity, this meditation should be done individually instead of in a group.

Note: This is one of five meditations given specifically “to prepare for the gray period of the planet and to bring mental balance.”

Kino

2007-11-19T13:51:00.002+01:00

Глупое, не смешное кино.

Что бы она не сказала
Что бы я не ответил ей
Времени осталось мало
Время говорит "скорей!" (скорей...)
И что бы потом ни случилось
Все вроде бы предрешено
Как повороты сюжета
В глупом, не смешном кино

И что бы она не скрывала
И какой бы я ни был гад
Ей хочется остаться рядом
Я кажется этому рад
Мне слова ничего не откроют
Все сказано уже давно
Все это реплики главных героев
В глупом, не смешном кино

Сигаретного дыма змейка
И опять барахлит телефон
Или кончается батарейка
Поговорим потом
И куда подевалось - не знаю я
Не отправленное письмо
Потерянной страничка сценария
В глупом, не смешном кино

Co dźwiga sytości dar,
Ale głodu nie oszuka.

Seven steps to happiness

2007-10-28T16:40:00.000+01:00

This time I met Karta in Karlsruhe - it's about 5 hour drive from Eindhoven. Not a big deal if you're about to meet the master.
The subject of the workshop was - "7 Steps to happiness".
According to Karta and Yogi Bhajan:
"Commitment leads to Character
Character leads to Dignity
Dignity leads to Divinity
Divinity leads to Grace
Grace leads to Power of Sacrifice
Power to Sacrifice leads to Happiness".
Happiness comes only when your tolerance becomes so wide that... like an ocean... your kindness and compassion becomes so practical that it cannot shake itself, and with all that you live in gratitude of the totality of God.

Some people have made religion as a joke. "Holier than thou." They play a worst part of the best of the situation. Without kindness, life is empty. Without compassion life has no direction. Once somebody asked me, "What is the direction in life?" I said, "Be compassionate." (Person yells): "Easier to say than do!" I said, "It is easy to yell and scream. On one hand you are asking. On other hand I am telling. Why we are fighting?" (Person again yells): "I cannot be compassionate. I get angry!" I said, "Don't." Person said, "But I DO!" I said, "You have three rights to get angry. 1. On yourself; 2. you get angry with one you love; 3. you get angry when you have to mature your own immaturity. These are three rules for which a person can use anger." Person said, "So I love you." I said, "Okay." Person said, "I am angry at you." I said, "That's fine. That's reasonable." Person said, "But I cannot be compassionate." I said, "At least start. Be kind." "How I can be
kind?" I said, "You say, 'Please tell me. My mind is going to go spin. And I cannot control myself. I am out of control. Is there any way?'" She said, "All right." I said, "It is very simple. The day that you give one tenth of your time, 24 hours, 2-1/2 hours, you give to your mind, you fight with it, it takes 2-1/2 hours of direct combat with the mind to calm it down for the rest of the time, then prosperity is granted, doesn't matter which state of mind you are."

We had covered steps 1 and 2 and this is supposed to be enough for the current incarnation :-)
The exercises were simple but tough, sitting with your arms risen up above your head for 31 minutes is not so easy, but the feeling of being blessed that you get in the end is worth the effort.
I'm looking forward to meet Karta in the future and meanwhile will be practicing as usual.

KY meditation when you don't know what to do

2007-10-16T14:42:00.001+02:00

What It Will Do for You

When you don’t know what to do, try this meditation. It is very simple, but very powerful if done correctly. It coordinates both areas of the brain, gives you powerful insight and coordinates the mystery of spiritual phenomena into the mastery of the three bodies (physical, mental and spiritual). Though it looks simple, it solves many complications. It is sometimes called gyan mudra kriya.

How to Do It
Sit straight, crosslegged or in a chair. Relax the arms down by the side of the body. Bend the elbows and raise the hands up and in until they meet at the level of the chest. The fingers of each hand are extended and joined in a relaxed way. Cross the hands with both palms facing toward the chest. One palm rests in the other and the thumbs are crossed. The fingers point up at a comfortable angle. (The position of left and right hand is interchangeable for this exercise.)
Look at the third eye, then bring the eyes to the tip of the nose.

Inhale through the nose, then exhale through the nose.
Now, inhale through the mouth, and exhale through the mouth.
Next, inhale through the nose, and exhale through the mouth.
Finally, inhale through the mouth, and exhale through the nose.

Continue this sequence. All breaths should be deep, complete, and powerful. When breathing through the mouth, purse the lips almost as if to whistle.
Start practicing this kriya for 11 minutes and gradually increase the time to a half hour.

Fasting again

2007-10-14T10:55:00.001+02:00

It's about time for the regular maintenance.
I'll be fasting for the coming 10-14 days starting immediately.
Food is good but the health is more important. Fasting can recharge and energize your body, help to detox and cleansing your systems, improve the condition of the skin and the internal organs. It is known to cure allergies, digestive diseases, may prevent and even cure many types of cancer and diabetes.
I'm not suffering from any of those but I also wish to remain in sound health condition always, so little house-cleaning and tuning-up will not be waste in vain.
Moreover, fasting is good for stretching and stretching is good for yoga, so wish me luck or join me if you feel the urge. Tonight I will do the Shank-Prakshalana before going to bed. You can do the same :-)

Se Non E Amore

Sicuro che

non e amore
anche se qualcosa he ha
sicuro che
sicuro che
non e il cuore pero
giuraci questo proprio proprio no
non mi dire che non puoi
perche se tu lo vuoi
usciamo un po'
io da fare non ne ho
io da fare non ne ho

Anche se balliamo noi
c'e un po' di lui
ma pero sei tu che adesso stringi un po'
sei tu che adesso stringi un po'

Workshop with Karta Singh

2007-10-04T18:26:00.000+02:00

It's my pleasure to say that I will be attending a workshop on Kundalini Yoga with Karta Singh.
Karta belongs to Sikhism tradition as well as Yogi Bhajan did, and all we know that Sikhs are and have always been proud and fearless warriors.
Just look at the picture to see how fearless and proud they are!
So I decided to commemorate the deeds of Karta, Bhajan and all teachers of the Golden Chain with this song.
The title is "the Chariot to the devil", but drive no wrong conclusion because we know that the devil is the creature of the almighty God and also his strongest supporter.
Enjoy the tune and the rest of your life too :-)

The Global Mala Project
The largest unified worldwide yoga event,
dedicated to positive change, in the history of the planet.
On The International Day of Peace - September 21, 2007

On September 21st - 23rd, more then 35 countries, hundreds of yoga studios and thousands of yoga practitioners worldwide will gather as a part of the Global Mala Project!

In less then one month, the global collective, from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv, London to Cape Town, Sydney to the hub event in Los Angeles will form a "Mala around the earth". Join this worldwide community with fund raising celebrations to raise awareness and funds for some of the most essential issues of our times. Breathe the change you want to envision in the world!

I'll be doing my 108 Surya Namaskara's tomorrow morning,
watch me online or join me if you care for what I care!

And this is the recording of my achievements :-)
I haven't succeded performing 108 Surya Namaskaras, sorry :-)
As a matter of fact, i don't know the exact number, there was no one around to do the counting, but my estimation is that I had completed somwhere between 80 and 90 of them, since I spent 90 minutes excluding the short break that I had after 20 minutes.
Nevertheless I'm satisfied with the degree of support that I have shown for the Global Mala project. Thanks for watching me and more for joining me :-)

For my non-Russian speaking friends I'll explain that the above is the result of the test of my biological age and the remaining lifetime expectancy. As you can see, I still have 78 years to go and must feel like a 26 year old, though till today had been feeling as 25.
Well, I think it's time to grow-up :-)

Sadhana for the Aquarian Age

2007-08-27T19:08:00.001+02:00

YOGI BHAJAN GAVE THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF MANTRAS ON JUNE 21, 1992, with instructions to continue using them for morning sadhana in this order for 21 years.

First guideline for sadhana leaders:
Show up!
If for any reason you are not able to make it on the day you are
leading, you must arrange for someone else to lead.
Japji 4:00 am
If you are unfamiliar with Japji or concerned about fine-tuning
pronunciation, use a tape or CD. If possible, read Japji tantric
style—male-female reading alternate lines.
A copy of Japji can be
downloaded from sikhnet.com .
Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo & Yoga Set 4:20 am
Dim the lights. A good choice for the yoga set is a basic energizing, Kundalini-raising set, including lots of stretching, Spinal Flexes, and Breath of Fire. It’s a good idea to end with Sat Kriya.
The yoga set should be about 25-30 minutes. If you are going to play music during the yoga, choose mantra music, and play it at a low volume.
Deep Relaxation. Dim the lights further, if necessary. Keep the relaxation relatively
short—5 minutes. If you choose to play music, keep it very low.
Mantra music with a meditative quality is effective.

Meditations (62 minutes). Begin approximately 5:00 am Lights can be turned very low or completely off. Keep sadhana music loud enough to be heard clearly throughout the entire sadhana room, so that it envelops us, and is easy to sing along with, while being sensitive to not making it too loud. Let the music surround and expand you.

After the meditations, starting approximately 6:00 am
This is the time when a Gurdwara program may take place.
Alternatively, an inspirational passage may be read (from Peace Lagoon or other inspirational work), or have a moment of deep prayerful silence. Sadhana will end with either a Gurdwara program or with Long Time Sun and Long Sat Naam between approximately
6:15 - 6:30 am.
Hold the space, enjoy the bliss of this ambrosial hour. It will fill your days with connection, sweetness, and purpose.
Sat Naam.
The full description of sadhana including mantras can be found here.

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We run out of time
Now you’re looking for me
Or anyone like me

Na na na na…

Le Derniere Minute

2007-08-24T12:57:00.000+02:00

Quand j'aurai tout compris, tout vécu d'ici-bas,
Quand je serai si vieille, que je ne voudrai plus de moi,
Quand la peau de ma vie sera creusée de routes,
Et de traces et de peines, et de rires et de doutes,
Alors je demanderai juste encore une minute...

Quand il n'y aura plus rien qui chavire et qui blesse,
Et quand même les chagrins auront l'air d'une caresse,
Quand je verrai ma mort juste au pied de mon lit,
Que je la verrai sourire de ma si petite vie,
Je lui dirai "écoute ! Laisse-moi juste une minute..."

Juste encore minute, juste encore minute,
Pour me faire une beauté ou pour une cigarette,
Juste encore minute, juste encore minute,
Pour un dernier frisson, ou pour un dernier geste,
Juste encore minute, juste encore minute,
Pour ranger les souvenirs avant le grand hiver,
Juste encore une minute... sans motif et sans but.

Puisque ma vie n'est rien, alors je la veux toute.
Tout entière, tout à fait et dans toutes ses déroutes,
Puisque ma vie n'est rien, alors j'en redemande,
Je veux qu'on m'en rajoute,
Soixante petites secondes pour ma dernière minute.

It's been a long time since my last post.
Meanwhile I had completed 200 hours training in Universal Yoga and passed the exam.
And even as to completely confuse my mom, got the certificate that entitles me to teach yoga classes to beginners :-)

Does it mean I am an intermediate?
Well, Lappa knows better :-)

I also practiced a lot of Shiva Nata level I, II and even glimpses of level III.
Repeating after Andrey Lappa wasn't hard at all, now I'll have to repeat it all from my head :-)

I had celebrated my birthday on 8 of August with a class of carrot juice :-)

This song by Eva de Roovere is for all my new friends that shared moments of hard work and moments of glory with me :-)

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with

Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be loathsome
Yes I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like
me without making

I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more

Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk

solve anything

How can I help ya
How can I help it
How can I help
what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on my brink

Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?

Should I bend over?
Should I look older?
just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly

Walk out the door!

Say what you want
To satisfy yourself
Hey
But you only want what
everybody else
says you should want...
You want

I could be brown

Lala lalala laa la lalala laa la lalala lalalalalalaLala
lalala laa la lalala laa la lalala laa
Windsurfers do it standing up
En diepzeeduikers doen 't onder water
Alcoholisten doen 't met een kater
En snelle jongens doen 't effe hup
Postbodes doen 't in de gleuf
En pedofielen doen 't op hun knieen
De meeste trio's doen 't met z'n drieen
En tegenliggers doen 't soixant-neuf
Ja jaladadja
jaladadja jaladadja
Lolbroeken doen 't op 1 april
Macrobioten doen 't onbespoten
En homofielen doen 't met hun poten
En keukenmeiden doen 't met gegil
Kampeerders doen 't in een tent
Gemengde koren doen 't met z'n allen
En jeu de boulers doen 't met hun ballen
En dameskappers doen 't permanent
Ja jaladadja jaladadja
jaladadja
Krentenwegers doen 't afgepast
Ervaren skiers doen 't op een helling
Van Gend en Loos die doen 't op bestelling
En een blinde doet 't op de tast
Maagden stellen 't nog effe uit
Ex-katholieken doet 't zonder Rome
En Popie Jopie doet 't in z'n dromen
En ik, ik doe het als ik fluit
Ja jaladadja jaladadja

I saw him

2007-06-11T18:13:00.000+02:00

Finally I was lucky to join one of the trainings by Andrey Lappa.
He is great teacher and very kind person.
Never hesitate to take a class by him, you shall regret if you do the opposite.
Andrey had signed a copy of his book for me. What else do I need to be completely happy? Right, - the everyday practice :-)

P.S: There you can also see my had in the mirror reflection :-)

Улучшение зрения и усиление способности видеть.

2007-06-05T07:09:00.000+02:00

Сядьте на пятки. Руки вытянуты вперёд параллельно полу. Из вертикальной позы наклонитесь назад на 30°. Смотрите, не мигая в одну точку. Дыхание спокойное. Не двигайтесь как минимум 3 минуты. Глубоко вдохните и расслабьтесь. Время выполнения этого упражнения можно постепенно увеличить до 31 минуты.

Сядьте прямо, ноги вытяните перед собой. Согните левое колено и подтяните его к груди. Захватите колено выполнив замок Венеры, и поднимите правую ногу на 60°. Смотрите в одну точку вдаль. Не меняйте позицию в течение 2 минут. Дышите медленно и глубоко. Спину держите прямо. Затем вдохните, задержите дыхание, выдохните и расслабьтесь. Поменяйте ноги и повторите всё упражнение сначала. Затем повторите упражнение ещё два раза меняя ноги. Расслабьтесь.

Сядьте на пол, ноги прямые. Руки на полу у бедёр. Вытяните пальцы ног вперёд и поднимите тело над полом. Опирайтесь только на ладони и пятки. Дышите спокойно 3 минуты.

Оставайтесь в том же положении, но соедините вместе ладони над головой. Потянитесь как можно выше вверх, руки прижаты к ушам. Тянитесь, словно поднимаясь в небо. Удерживайте это положение 1.5 минуты и затем полностью расслабьтесь, лёжа на спине.

Для того чтобы обладать ясным видением, нужно также иметь сильные нервы, мотивацию, и быть сильной личностью. Данная серия упражнений предназначена для совершенствования внешнего и внутреннего зрения. Она помогает предотвратить физическую и умственную близорукость. Тело и ум тесно связаны. Умственные привычки, отношения, напряжения, влияют на то как мы видим, и приводят к развитию болезней глаз и проблем со зрением. Данные упражнения укрепляют нервную систему и развивают терпение. Это оказывает положительный эффект на почки и печень, которые в свою очередь могут привести к близорукости. Они развивают способность видеть бесконечное в конечном.

Выполняйте медитацию как минимум 40 дней ежедневно. Отслеживайте изменения которые с вами происходят. Записывайте в личный дневник или в комментарии к медитации.

Медитация кундалини йоги, развивающая способность видеть и чувствовать энергетическое тело (KY meditation to feel and see your energy body)

Что Вам даст эта медитация?

Эта медитация даст Вам способность видеть и чувствовать энергетическое тело. Она поможет Вам использовать потенциал электромагнитного поля и тонких тел осознанно.

Как ее выполнять?

Сядьте в простую позу со скрещенными ногами или, предпочтительно, в позу лотоса. Держите спину идеально прямой. Плечи и локти прижаты к телу, а предплечья согнуты под углом в 30° к горизонту, вперед от груди. Ладошки раскрыты и смотрят друг на друга. Пальцы свободно согнуты и слегка разведены. Дышите медленно и глубоко. Держите глаза приоткрытыми и сфокусируйте взгляд в пространство между ладонями.

Чувствуйте поток энергии проходящий между ладонями с дыханием. Через несколько минут медитации Вы увидите поток энергии.

Выполняйте это упражнение 11 минут.

Идеально, сделайте данную медитацию частью Вашей утренней садханы хотя бы на 40 дней. Но и обычных 11 дней будет достаточно для ознакомления и развития первычных навыков тонкого видения.

What It Will Do for You

This meditation gives you the ability to feel and see your energy body. It can make you aware of the potential conscious use of your electromagnetic field and of your subtle bodies as well as your physical body.

How to Do It
Sit with your spine perfectly straight. Hold your upper arms near the sides of the chest. The forearms are 30 degrees out from the chest with the palms open and facing each other. The fingers are slightly spread and lightly cupped. Breathe long, deeply, and slowly. Keep the eyes half open and focus between the palms.

As you breathe, feel the energy flow from one hand to the other. After a few minutes, you will begin to see the flow of energy.

Do this mediation for 11 minutes.

Pancakes and ricotta

2007-05-19T21:20:00.001+02:00

In the morning we went swimming.
Later in the day we had my mom's famous potatoes pancakes for dinner.
With sour cream, rocket and ricotta, of course :-)
They were perfectly accompanied by a glass of dark Belgian beer from Leffe brewery.

Espresso

2007-05-18T19:22:00.000+02:00

I love espresso with Parmigiano Reggiano.
First you take a little sip of coffee, then bite a bit of cheese and again sip coffee. Coffee must be hot, strong and sweet.
Finish the cup and enjoy this lovely rock-n-roll :-)

With a broken foot one cannot do much besides enjoying their everyday life.
I have no intention to break this rule, so I enjoy the outlook, pamper my senses with delicacies and spend time chatting on ICQ :-)

Зелене

2007-05-13T23:59:00.001+02:00

Дощі шепітливими вустами
Цілують зелену землю,
Так я цілував твої зелені очі,
Коли ти поверталася з лісів.

Зарошена м´яким галасом
І голос твій плив по мені,
Як вітер по травах...

Тоді зі сторінок зеленого Євангелія
Виходив Зелений Лис.
І розповідав ще одну давню таїну існування,
Просту мов життя.

На паркеті виростала папороть,
Стіну оплітав бородатий мох,
Баговиння встеляло ложе.

І Зелений Місяць, молодим фавном
Зазирав до недопитої шклянки вина...
