Sidda
Samadi Yoga:
yoga sadhana is a 15
days course containing 12 days of morning/evening 3 hr sessions and last three
days of residential type for full day.One should follow certain rules while
undergoing yoga sadhana. The first 12 days in these is preparation course for
the full time of later part of 3 days.
Primary rules for Yoga
sadhana:
1)
Abstain from non-veg food,
egg, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, oily foods, sugar and
salt.
2)
Abstain from reading
newspapers and watching TV.
3)
Maintain
silence.
4)
There is no “Pusthaka yoga”
in yoga sadhana. That means books are not referred for doing this course.
Everything is practical based; sadhaka will experience practically what has been
told to him orally.
Secondary
rules for Yoga sadhana:
1)
Be
truthful
2)
Don’t be over
smart
3)
Participate
100%
4)
Open
hearted
5)
Know
thyself
Every body wants anandam
(Happiness) and arogyam (Health). These two are interrelated in the sense that
positive or negative signal or influence of one will have bearing on the other.
The advantageous aspect of
this relationship is by observing yogasadhana we are cleaning up our physical and mental ailments with “following Gnana
marga, positive thinking, leadership qualities, meditation, eating nature food,
meditation, Yogasana, Pranayama and chrialu”.
1)
Be a leader and not a
follower. (A leader is one who responds to
challenges of each minute (situations) with positive attitude, for the ultimate
aim of welfare to one and all with the overall responsibility of mother and
father to this world).
2)
Be positive in mind and
response.
3)
“I will do” or “I will not do”; there is no
“trying to do”. “I will
try” brings uncertainty and
hence non-performance.
4)
Responsibility is nothing
but ability to respond. When we are responsible, we respond to all events
in the world—that is called” spandhana”.
5)
We are all should be
self appointed prime ministers.
6)
Knowledge should not be
based on “pusthaka yoga” (reading books), it should base on “practical
taught by guru”.
7)
When you are responsible,
“shakthi” will come to you automatically. Don’t feel you are not
having “shakthi”, so you are not responsible.
8)
We are all leaders only.
When there are only leaders and no followers, that is called “adarsha prapancham” (dream
world).
9)
“Ivvadam” (Giving) is
easy. “ Theesikovadamu” (Taking) is difficult.
10) Between the persons who are
saying “namaskar” and the person receiving “namaskar”, the person giving
namaskar is great, because he has understood the greatness of the other
person to whom he is giving namaskar.
11) You only, know about
yourself.
So, you are the only person fit to take decisions, for that you have to observe
yourself each minute and analyze your motives and directions and courses you are
taking.
12) “You should stand for
others”, that is called
“responsible behavior”.
13) When you are not worried
about earthily needs, somebody will automatically take care about them for
you.
14) You have to think you are
great. Then only great things happen to you.
15) I want to live with
responsibility – this motto you should
adopt now or never will it happen.
16) You should be 100%
responsible, otherwise means you
are 0%.
17) You should be a responsible
housefather, factory manager and also a self appointed prime
minister.
18) The best presentation
one can give to others, apart from “love” is, making another person as
leader.
19) As per “Upanishads”, the
best donation anybody can give is “vidyadanam”.
20) Limited responsibility is
no responsibility at all. Best example is
“religious organizations” existing for a limited purpose.
21) If you want to live happily
“ don’t do anything” (specifically).
But on the other hand , even sitting idle amounts to “doing
something”.
22) When you have miseries and
you can’t do anything about it at this moment, then accept it and live with
it (Accept everything as it is for the present and think about corrections /
modifications for future).
23) When you invite misfortune,
there is no misfortune (nothing like that left
behind!).
24) Because of doing great
things, great people have not been called great; because they are great they
have done great things.
25) Accept the reality
(situation) as it is – “unna
kshananni unna dunnatlu oppukovadame
prajna lo brathakadam”.
26) Performing “karma” with
“prajna” is called “karma yoga”.
1)
Dual between “am I the
body? Or body is mine? – I am not separate from body, at the same time the body
is not mine; this dual ended with the realization that “ I am nothing”. From this
realization of nothing (aham bramhasmi) enlightenment will take place, leading
to “anni nene (I am
everything). when “ahamkaram” (Pride) is not there , that is called
“moksha” (enlightenment). At that time you can be anywhere and you can
see God everywhere and in all. That is called
“Siddapurushathvam”.
2)
Divinity is nothing but the
realization that “ I am nothing” and at the same time “ I am everything”. If
I see God in others then I am capable of attaining Divinity. This
realization gives second birth for every body.
3)
We are all mothers and
fathers to the world.
4)
If you observe the
greatness in opposite person, he will see the greatness in you.
Positive
thinking:
1)
The power of positive
thinking.
2)
“Athmasthithi lo undatame
sathyam”. Truth is nothing but
be in the state of self – realization.
3)
There are two English words
applicable for any adverse situations you are facing. They are 1) OK and 2) So What!
4)
Small problems now lead to
great pleasures later and small pleasures now leads to great problems
later.
5)
When there is a problem for
you, the solution lies there itself and with in you.
6)
Judo, karate & kungfu
all these can happen only when mental strength is more than apparent body
strength.
7)
The “AAA-CCC” is Accept,
Adjust and Appreciate---Don’t Criticize, Complain and
Condemn.
Gnanabodha:
1) We should align with nature
and not go against nature.
2)
Mothers should give
encouragement to children to prosper and develop and not inhibit their
talent.
3)
Be constantly in touch of
“sathsang”. It will cleanse your body
and mind regularly.
4)
Puja and bhakthi are
necessary for “ABCD” level people. For “PHD” level people the realization that
divinity resides in every human
being is making them “compassionate”.
5)
Feel the importance of
Plants and its protection
6)

mother and father.

Desire is “an ambition or want to achieve

something more till one gets permanent happiness which eludes
permanently”.
2)
Desires can be of three
forms 1) the fulfillment of which will give enhanced material value to you. 2)
Fulfillment will increase the ego of “somebody” and 3) can really be necessary
to fulfill duties.
3)
Any “desire” should
necessarily to fulfill the following conditions” 1) It should not give
obstruction or difficulty to others. 2) It should be useful for all other
persons. 3) It should not cause hardship to others. 4) It should be fulfilled
for every body”.
4)
For a person all desire should cease. The

factor should be 100% or 0%.

stays in body the more toxic matter it releases. Garlic etc., can be taken only
as medicines. But when you stick to nature food, there won’t be any diseases and
consequently no need for garlic etc., Man basically is vegetarian and all his
body parts accustom to vegetarian diet.

MEDITATION
1)
Real meditation is
“doing nothing” while sitting for meditation.
2)
Meditation is a must for
relaxation and healthy life.
3)
Meditation 3 times per day
for 15 minutes each.
4)
For sitting for meditation
one should observe four important rules: 1) Chiru akali (slight hunger). 2) chiru alasata (slight tiredness) 3) no desires or expectations from meditation 4) no reactions towards it. Other
conditions are 1) 3 times, 15 minutes each, preferably before meals, before
taking food or after doing jogging or exercise or work or forced workout.2)
doing at noon time best. 3) Room should be well ventilated with light and air 4)
no disturbances 5) to come out in the middle in emergencies take deep breath
three times and come out.
5)
Meditation is moving away
from “Rajasikha sthithi- whereby we
follow thoughts, try to hold to it” to “ thamasika sthithi- whereby we are not
doing anything to thoughts” and trying to get “sathvaguna sthithi-whereby no thought
is there” and finally to aim for “tureeya sthithi-where by we go beyond
bramha, Vishnu and parameswara and attain parabramha
swarupam.
6)
Due to stress and other
problems toxic material is released into blood stream and gets deposited in
various tips of blood vessels, i.e, at various body parts,especially the “tip”
regions, leading to various diseases. Simple toxic matter will go away from body
while we are asleep. But chronic and major toxic materials will be released only
when a person sits for meditation. Feelings of Jerks, spine chills, worms on the
top of head or feeling of lightness in arms and legs release these
toxins.
7)
Each meditation should be
of 15 minute duration only, otherwise toxins released will be redeposit in the
body in prolonged sitting for meditation (as a result of shallow
breathing).
8)
“ Soham” meditation while
doing “Savasana” is good for inviting nature.
