Shivyog Kriyas and Pranayamas

Presenting here a consolidation of all Shivyog Kriya’s taught by Babaji in his Advance
Shivyog and sometimes even in normal Shivyog Shivirs. These are recommended to be done
by everyone who wants 100% healthy body, mind and soul. These are kriya’s taught to
Babaji some by yogi’s and some by very advance Siddha’s passed on to us by his holy grace.

Babaji demonstrating some kriyas

As Babaji always says that by doing this daily in the morning, a person can completely
rejuvenate his body cells and heal any part of his body, not to mention the opening and
activation of various granthi’s and chakra cleansing. Few Sadhanas are very secret and to be
done only if you are a Shivyogi.

These Kriyas and Pranayamas are based on Babaji’s “Suskshma kriya” & Sarpa Yog Videos
and what was taught at the Prati Prasav Sadhana in Rishikesh Nov 2009

Visualization kriyas Done at Rishikesh

First total relaxation ,visualize the body see each part of the body see your home,open up
your inner senses see feel touch smell and sense.. Do the exercise of visualising eg going
home and seeing each room etc
Vizualization of mountains in detail
Followed by visualizing light merging in it and then that light in mooladahara
Kundalini Arohanam a few times in each chakra followed by visualising the lotus in each
chakra and the root mantra in each chakra and the in the pineal after visualising the ajna in
front and the two ears as the sides of the halll and the hypothalamus at the back. Om mantra
to be chanted.

ALTERNATE VISUALIZATION

First relax body deep breaths command the each part of the body to be quite and calm and
then visualise light in third eye. Make it very bright now you can ask body to be calm and in
Sat Chit Ananda .go over each part also practice seeing different things in third eye

The Paradox of Life and Death
Namah Shivay, I always had this question in my mind about the apparent paradox in various
Spiritual books like the Vedas, Upanishads etc. and also among the various schools of
Vedanta like Advaita, Dvaita, etc. The Question is: Some books says that on Death
Consciousness(Atma) leaves the body and goes to either heaven or hell and takes birth etc.
and some say that the Self(Atma, Consciousness) is everywhere. Now, if self is everywhere
then it must also be in the Dead Body which means it is alive. Then why the body does
becomes lifeless and rotting process starts. If self is the only true being and there is only 1
Self and it is present in Living as well as lifeless objects like mountains, stones etc. as per
Advaita then how come it is not in the dead body. That means there is at least 1 place where
Self/Consciousness does not exists and all spiritual books are lying. But then atoms are
vibrating even in a dead body….how? What is truth? How can I resolve this Paradox? So I
asked this to my Guru, our beloved Baba Ji once in my Meditation and here is what I got to
know:

“The Self or the Consciousness is everywhere incl. non-living objects like stone, water, paper
etc. But it still does not mean it is alive…alive as in moving, breathing the way living beings
are. For you, alive means it must move or grow but that is your definition and not of nature.
This is the prime distinction which helps us know that XYZ thing is a living thing or no.
Besides the Consciousness, there is also a key tatva called the Mind (which I often refer to
the Divine Mind in my blog). This Mind commands everything that an object does including
its life span, emotions, events, karma etc.”

Further, Baba Ji elaborated that “it is only when the Consciousness and the Divine Mind meet
that anything can be formed. Thus from this union, the World that we know of is formed incl.
you and me and all and everything around us. Now coming to dead body, see when a person
(or any living being for that matter) dies, it is this Mind body that leaves the attachment to
that body thereby starving it of any action, movement, life force energy which eventually
results in stiffening and later into rotting of the body if not burnt or buried quickly(under
normal circumstances). The Mind that I am referring to is the Divine Mind.

You can say it is the same for you as well as the whole Universe and beyond (There is no
duality). In order to accomplish its wishes, the Divine Mind, created numerous objects (living
or non-living) to satisfy itself. Since the Divine Mind is Infinite, so are its forms. Moreover,
the Divine Mind, creates numerous layers of Mind which we refer to say Manomaya kosh,
Universal Mind, Ego-Pure and adulterated Ego, Super Conscious mind, Sub-Conscious mind,
conscious mind etc... The Mind never dies and this is what leaves the body. The
Consciousness remains everywhere. This drama of coming and going is only for this Mind
till the time, it realized the futility of this tour and merges with the Self which is what is
called as Self Realization.”

“The Mind can gain peace only when it learns to concentrate about itself on its Self. There
comes a moment when it realizes its fallacy of Ego and automatically merges with its Self
and attains the Divine Peace or Happiness-Sat Chit Anand”
“This Consciousness is referred to in Shastras as Shiva and Divine Mind as Shakti. Shakti has
numerous forms and moods and so is the variety in Nature. She is Infinite and so are forms,
events, etc. in the Universe. Shiva is the soul of Shakti. Without Shiva, Shakti cannot do what
it can do. Even if she tried, it would be destroyed the very moment it is created. Shakti
requires aadhar which is Shiva. Shiva is aadhar of All-Living and Non-Living being.

Thus if you see, there is no Paradox.”…and I come out of Meditation…relived. :)

Dear Readers, did you ever have such questions in your mind?
