The Agnya chakra is the gateway to your Sahasrara chakra (Kingdom of God), which symbolizes the purest spiritual realm. Sahaja Yoga meditation is the simplest way to purify your mind and intentions. It allows your Kundalini energy to pass through the Agnya chakra and into the Sahasrara. The experience is quite miraculous, relieving and joyous as you find yourself connected to the higher power that created the universe.

CHAKRAS: THE PSYCHIC CENTRES OF YOGA AND TANTRA
According to the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition codified by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri, there are six lower and six higher Chakras making a total of twelve Chakras. The lower Chakras known as the Pinda Chakras are related to the physical body while the higher six Chakras, the Anda Chakras are related to the Cosmos. Chakras vibrate at very high speeds of vibration and at their highest speeds of vibration are related to the cosmos. Each of the lower six Chakras has various neuro-endocrine correlates and is associated with one of the five Jnanendriyas and Karmendriyas as also different psychological qualities. This book deals with the Chakras in a detailed manner with magnificent images that were conceptualized by Pujya Swamiji more than 50 years ago. Asanas related to each Chakra and their specific Mandala Pranayamas are elaborated in detail. The unique practices of Chakra Mediation and Mandala Dharana are also added bonuses in this book.

Mooladhara Chakra or Root Chakra - Sahaja Yoga
Basic introduction of the Mooladhara Chakra or the root chakra - what are the characteristics, how it is harmed and how can it be treated.
Bhavsagar : The Void | Sahaja Yoga
The Void, along with your Nabhi and Swadisthan chakras, represents an integrated spiritual group. Together, these three elements dictate the course of your evolution, from your creation to your ultimate awareness of spirituality and your journey thereon.
The Void is so named because it represents the ocean of unenlightened awareness (or void) within an individual’s knowledge. Each individual may require the guidance of a true master or truthful spiritual teachings in order to realize his or her true spiritual nature. When you learn the truth of the spirit, your Void, or the gap in your central channel, is filled. This event occurs as you receive your Kundalini awakening and awareness.

Meditation looks different for different people, but one thing is for sure: it is quickly gaining popularity in Western culture. It has many professional and personal benefits including increased productivity, reduction of stress and depression, and reduction of troubling physical symptoms such as headaches and muscle tension, to name a few.

Prana kundalini & yoga ppt
Prāṇa is a vital life force or energy in yoga and Ayurvedic philosophy. It is considered a subtle form of energy circulating through the subtle body that supports bodily functions and facilitates consciousness. The document discusses prāṇa based on ancient Indian scriptures, defining it as a highly intelligent energy that permeates all living beings and governs biological processes in a way that is not fully understood. Prāṇa is said to be absorbed through breathing and to use oxygen as a vehicle within the body, circulating through the nervous system. Yogic practices like prāṇāyāma aim to enhance and purify prāṇa to stimulate the mechanism of kundalini
Jaina philosophy
The Jaina philosophy is based on the principles of non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and non-possessiveness. It believes that liberation from bondage is achieved through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct. Jainism presents a religion without belief in God, arguing that neither perception nor valid inference can prove God's existence. Instead, Jainas worship liberated souls who have attained perfect knowledge, power, and bliss.

Defination of Yoga .pptx
Definitions of Yoga Meaning of the word Yoga:
Etimology: The word ‘yoga’ originates from the Sanskrit verb ‘yuj' (युज्)
meaning to add, combine or unite. In yoga it means the union of the soul
with the divine.
In different paths of yoga, this unity is represented in other forms,
but the goal of all is one - union with the cosmic energy,God. There
seems difference among them based on methods. As per Hatha Yoga it
is union of ida and pingala, kaivalya in Rajyoga, attaining the darshan of
deity in Bhakti Yoga, finding brahma within in Gyan Yoga, merging with
Hari as karta in karma yoga, etc. Thus, the word yoga is the attainment
of that ultimate goal when the soul meets the divine, just as the river
current meets the ocean.
The number of texts related to yoga is vast. Numerous books have
been written on Yoga from the the era of Vedas and Upanishadas to the
present time. The form we are studying today is mainly based on the
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Patanjal Yog Darshan and Hath Yog Pradipika.
Here we will describe the definitions of yoga in some scriptures of
yoga. It is noteworthy that the major texts of Indian philosophy have
been composed in Sanskrit language itself. Therefore, students are
expected to learn a little Sanskrit.
Reading The Aura
The document provides information on auras and energy fields, including how to see, read, cleanse, and strengthen one's aura. It discusses the seven layers of the aura and what different aura colors can indicate about a person's physical, emotional, and spiritual state. The document also outlines stages of disease that can result from an imbalanced or weakened aura, and provides techniques for protecting, cleaning, re-energizing, and healing the aura through meditation, nature, exercise, and energy work.
Ajapa japa(conscious awareness of a mantra
The document describes the practice of Ajapa Japa meditation. It involves sitting in a comfortable posture and focusing awareness on the breath moving through the psychic passage between the navel and throat chakras. As the breath moves up and down this passage, awareness of the inherent mantra "So Ham" arises. Complete concentration is placed on the breath, prana, consciousness and mantra moving in unison through this passage. This leads to a stilling of the mind and absorption in the psychic movement within the passage.
Yoga Upanishads: A comparative study of Yogangas
This document provides a comparative study of yogangas (limbs of yoga) described in various yoga upanishads. It finds that 11 upanishads prescribe different paths of yoga, such as sadanga (6 limbs), astanga (8 limbs), and panchadasanga (15 limbs). For example, Amritanada, Kshurika, Dhyanabindu and Yoga Chudamani prescribe sadanga yoga with 6 limbs. Yogatattva, Trishikibrahmana, Mandala Brahmana, sandilya, Darsana and varaha prescribe astanga yoga with 8 limbs. Only Tejobindu Upanishad describes panchadasanga yoga with 15 limbs.
Mooladhara Chakra - Presentation
The document provides information about the Mooladhara Chakra from a course on the subject. It discusses the Mooladhara Chakra's location at the base of the spine. It describes qualities like innocence and purity associated with the chakra. It outlines methods to balance the chakra, such as regular meditation, foot soaks, mantras and affirmations. The document also discusses problems that can arise from an imbalanced chakra like diarrhea, constipation and misuse of sexuality.
Life After Death or Afterlife according to different religions
The afterlife (also referred to as life after death or the hereafter) is the belief that an essential part of an individual's identity or consciousness continues to exist after the death of the body. According to various ideas about the afterlife, the essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity or, on the contrary, may not, as in Indian nirvana. Belief in an afterlife, which may be naturalistic or supernatural, is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death.
Adogati - The downward movement towards hell!
Adogati refers to the downward movement of human awareness away from the Divine. As awareness descends, it first reaches Nabhi where we consume others through imperialism. It then reaches Swadisthan where we seek fulfillment through stars and romance but to no avail. Finally, awareness reaches Mooladhara where we become depraved with strange ideas about sex, representing decadence and a descent into hell. To ascend, we must go through Mahalakshmi and reach the Heart, otherwise we risk descending again by giving our heart to others and indulging in romance.

present time. The form we are studying today is mainly based on the
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Patanjal Yog Darshan and Hath Yog Pradipika.
Here we will describe the definitions of yoga in some scriptures of
yoga. It is noteworthy that the major texts of Indian philosophy have
been composed in Sanskrit language itself. Therefore, students are
expected to learn a little Sanskrit.
Reading The Aura
The document provides information on auras and energy fields, including how to see, read, cleanse, and strengthen one's aura. It discusses the seven layers of the aura and what different aura colors can indicate about a person's physical, emotional, and spiritual state. The document also outlines stages of disease that can result from an imbalanced or weakened aura, and provides techniques for protecting, cleaning, re-energizing, and healing the aura through meditation, nature, exercise, and energy work.
Ajapa japa(conscious awareness of a mantra
The document describes the practice of Ajapa Japa meditation. It involves sitting in a comfortable posture and focusing awareness on the breath moving through the psychic passage between the navel and throat chakras. As the breath moves up and down this passage, awareness of the inherent mantra "So Ham" arises. Complete concentration is placed on the breath, prana, consciousness and mantra moving in unison through this passage. This leads to a stilling of the mind and absorption in the psychic movement within the passage.
Yoga Upanishads: A comparative study of Yogangas
This document provides a comparative study of yogangas (limbs of yoga) described in various yoga upanishads. It finds that 11 upanishads prescribe different paths of yoga, such as sadanga (6 limbs), astanga (8 limbs), and panchadasanga (15 limbs). For example, Amritanada, Kshurika, Dhyanabindu and Yoga Chudamani prescribe sadanga yoga with 6 limbs. Yogatattva, Trishikibrahmana, Mandala Brahmana, sandilya, Darsana and varaha prescribe astanga yoga with 8 limbs. Only Tejobindu Upanishad describes panchadasanga yoga with 15 limbs.
Mooladhara Chakra - Presentation
The document provides information about the Mooladhara Chakra from a course on the subject. It discusses the Mooladhara Chakra's location at the base of the spine. It describes qualities like innocence and purity associated with the chakra. It outlines methods to balance the chakra, such as regular meditation, foot soaks, mantras and affirmations. The document also discusses problems that can arise from an imbalanced chakra like diarrhea, constipation and misuse of sexuality.

Life After Death or Afterlife according to different religions
The afterlife (also referred to as life after death or the hereafter) is the belief that an essential part of an individual's identity or consciousness continues to exist after the death of the body. According to various ideas about the afterlife, the essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity or, on the contrary, may not, as in Indian nirvana. Belief in an afterlife, which may be naturalistic or supernatural, is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death.
Adogati - The downward movement towards hell!
Adogati refers to the downward movement of human awareness away from the Divine. As awareness descends, it first reaches Nabhi where we consume others through imperialism. It then reaches Swadisthan where we seek fulfillment through stars and romance but to no avail. Finally, awareness reaches Mooladhara where we become depraved with strange ideas about sex, representing decadence and a descent into hell. To ascend, we must go through Mahalakshmi and reach the Heart, otherwise we risk descending again by giving our heart to others and indulging in romance.
Adi Shankaracharya - Saundarya Lahari said it all!
The document discusses Adi Shankaracharya, a learned Indian philosopher from the 6th century who wrote important texts like Viveka Chudamani and Saundarya Lahari praising the Mother. It notes that he said realization can only come through the grace of the Mother, and that his writings were based on knowledge of Kundalini. The document also discusses how knowledge of Kundalini was previously secret but later exposed by figures like Kabir and Nanak in the 6th century, and explores the nine Nathas' work with Kundalini in Maharashtra and Punjab. It references several of Shankaracharya's sayings about receiving grace from the Mother and
About Adi Shakti - Sahaja Yoga
Adi Shakti is described as the feminine, pure desire power of God Almighty and the pure love and compassion of God Almighty. She destroys evil forces to save her children from negativity. She is the primordial mother who came to earth 12,000 years ago in over 1,000 incarnations to protect her devotees from negative forces. Adi Shakti first created Shri Ganesha, the source of wisdom and innocence, and considers him her son. She is seen as the power of God's grace and is also known as Adi Maya, assuming ego in order to create the three main powers.
Adi Kundalini Shakti - Sahaja Yoga
The document discusses the Adi Kundalini, or Adi Shakti, which is described as the power of God Almighty. It is said to be immeasurable, indestructible, and all-pervading. The Adi Kundalini is also referred to as the Brahma Shakti, who does everything. Within humans exists a reflection of the Adi Kundalini known as the Kundalini. The document provides references to talks given on these topics from 1983 and 1996.

Memories of Sahaja Yogi Mr. Harishchandra Koli
Mr Koli got his self realisation via Sahaja Yoga in 1979 in Patkar Hall, Mumbai. The next programme he attended, Shri Mataji called him on the stage and asked him to put his hands on the mother earth and see what he felt. Shri Mataji put Her Feet on Mr Koli’s hands. He explained that with Mother’s Feet on his hands he felt as if he was in Kailash. He saw Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi as Himalaya and Her legs were like a Sivalinga in his hands. This was the most wonderful experience of his life because he was a seeker and he was looking at God, and with this experience he felt that this was heaven and this was Adi Shakti, who he had been looking for the whole of this lifetime.
One month after getting realization he was lying on the sofa after meditating. He was looking at Mother’s photograph and suddenly he saw Mother in the Virata swarupa and the whole house was full of light.
The Subtle System - Sahaja Yoga - Beginner's Guide
In each of us there is a Mothering energy, known for centuries as the key to spiritual enlightenment. It lies dormant, coiled in the Sacrum bone at the base of the spine. It is called Kundalini,
meaning feminine coiled energy. When awakened, we feel a
gentle cool fountain of energy above the top of the head and
cool vibrations on the hands. Sometimes a warm energy is felt as the Kundalini encounters friction in its path - however this will
clear to cool vibrations. The awakened Kundalini connects us
with our spirit and the universal love that surrounds and
pervades everywhere. This union of our spirit with the Divine
energy is the true Yoga event - yoga means ‘union’ or ‘yoking’.
Sahaja Yoga means ‘born with you’. Everyone has this energy
which can now be awakened spontaneously. With our attention
in the flow of cool vibrations above our head, we go into pure
thoughtless meditation. Then, with simple short daily practice,
we quickly experience the peace, joy and other amazing
benefits that this meditation brings. No need to believe, we
simply feel the truth as it manifests on our central nervous
system.
Founded by Shri Mataji in 1970, Sahaja Yoga is based on
principles of spirituality, humility and love that are over 2000
years old.

The Nabhi Chakra - Beginner's Guide | Sahaja Yoga
Your Nabhi chakra is located within your spinal column. It can be found parallel to your navel. It is closely associated with your solar plexus. The vibrations of your Nabhi chakra can be felt in your middle fingers. The function of your abdominal organs (stomach, liver, kidneys, and bowels) is regulated by the Nabhi and Swadisthan chakras along with the Void. These three subtle centers work as an integrated unit in ensuring a harmonious physiologic environment in your body.
Sahaja Yoga - The Islam connection
"These Chakras are known as Alam or Latifa in Islam and in Sufism respectively. One of the names of Allah is Al-Latif, which means the subtle one or the one who knows all subtleties. Hence the word for Chakras used is Latifa which means subtle centre. Chakras are indeed subtle centres which when awakened give a person his self-realisation."

Surrounding the Nabhi Chakra is the void or the Bhavsagar that is the most difficult to cross. Time and again we were sent great spiritual masters to help us learn about our divine selves - know about the 10 Primordial master who help us cross the Bhavsagar.
Aches & Pains - As you grow on the spiritual level...
After receiving self-realization in Sahaja Yoga, one may start to feel the pains of sin from within and the sins of others, leading one to avoid the company of sinful people. If one remains around sinful people, it can cause headaches, pressure at the Agnya chakra, and other issues, making one want to leave that place as they are no longer able to bear it. The best way to strengthen oneself is to gather together with other Sahaja Yogis, attending programs, collective prayers, and meditation.
Acetylcholine & Adrenaline
Many hormonal activities cannot be explained by scientists or doctors...because it all has to be integrated to spiritual knowledge.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation Practice Transforms You
The document discusses the importance of absorption in Sahaja Yoga. It states that absorption means fully assimilating and transforming oneself by faithfully accepting what is said without criticism or repelling it. Absorption allows for growth and is only possible with faith and a thoughtless state of mind called Nirvichara. Some people were able to absorb the teachings well while others questioned or fell asleep due to lingering negativity within. Those struggling are advised to do a candle meditation to work on their absorption and benefit their minds. Repeated listening is recommended to absorb the teachings without questioning.
Aarti in Sahaja Yoga - Showing light element to God
The document discusses the Hindu ritual of Aarti, where light is shown to God to worship the light element within. Performing Aarti enlightens this inner light on the Agnya chakra. It suggests doing a small Aarti to a photograph of Mataji as a way to develop an auspicious presence and understand auspiciousness, which helps create nice, congenial villages.
Abraham Lincoln - A Realized Soul
Abraham Lincoln was a truly democratic leader who fought for the liberation of women according to the principles of "Of the people, For the people, By the people". He gave great ideas to the world and was considered a Realised Soul. References are provided to two talks given by Jai Shri Mataji where she discusses Lincoln and his contributions.
