OM SADHANA AND ITS BENEFITS By Paramahansa Atmanandaji Chakra Correlation, Chakra Healing Tattwa Jaya (Tattwa Sidhi), Granthi Veda and Self Realisation (Conquering the biological knots)
Kriya Yog has been in existence since time immemorial. It is described and practiced under different names through ages. In the Bhagabat Gita it is mentioned in the fourth chapter that God Himself revealed these self-realizing, Happiness and peace giving techniques to the earliest leaders of Human beings. In the beginning of Kalijug, Babaji (Mahavatar) brought it out from antiquity and set in a silent, slow but steady spiritual revolution, to reduce the sufferings of human beings and for God-realization. These techniques are taught personally by the Guru to the disciple or Father to the son and passed on to the posterity. Also, many of these techniques have been described in the ancient classic Yog Classics such as: GHERANDA SAMHITA; GORAKHYA SAMHITA; SHIVA SAMHITA; HATHA YOG PRADIPIKA and some other works in Sanskrit. But these are known as Gurumukhi Vidya, i.e. to be learnt personally from the Guru. Though many traditions pass it on, these, the modern day teachings are passed on from Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya and his illustrious many disciples, who formed and continued their lineages of Kriya Yog. Some of these Masters are, SriJukteswarji; Pranabanandaji; Panchanan Bhattacharyaji; Sanyal Mahasayaji; the sons of Lahiri Mahasaya and Kebalanandaji; Keshavanandaji and many others.
Very few selected people knew about these techniques and kept it alive, until Paramahansa Yogananda, published his all-time bestseller, the epoch making book – “Autobiography of a Yogi”. Then the closely guarded techniques left the boundaries of India and became Global and then cosmic. Nobody can rival the vital role of Paramahansa Yoganandaji in making these wonderful Kriya Yog techniques reach every nook and corner of the world, every human being, irrespective of religion, nationality, sect, caste, creed and gender and culture. We bow to the holy memory of these selfless Masters, and pray that we learn properly these Kriya Yog techniques and practice these, correctly, sincerely, and lovingly and enjoy the physical, mental, verbal and spiritual benefits. Only through these, one can escape the sins of anger, fear, fear, hatred, and jealousy, criticizing others, intolerance, unhealthy and negative rivalry. Also, by these one can prevent psychosomatic diseases and usher in a healthier, harmonious, happier age. We plan to bring out a series of articles on Kriya Yog and its different techniques – their benefits and scientific and systematic co-relations. In this first article of this series, we deal with the OM SADHANA (Om Technique) and its benefits. It necessitates the basic knowledge of the spine, the Brain, the Chakras and correlation of scientific, Praanic, Symbolic and Spiritual aspects.
The OM in short symbolizes the totality of Gods Power and Presence. Since the earlier days of the Holy Scriptures, Veda and the Upanishads, volumes have been written about the OM. It is the mystic symbol of the Subtlest Life Energy (creative energy). It is the totality of Time and Space; the Creation and the Creator; Past, Present and Future, and also Mayaa and Mayaateeta. It is also wakeful, dream, deep sleep and Samadhi status known as Turiya (Turiyaateeta, beyond Turiya also). Remove Negative Energy - By correctly practicing this Om Sadhana, one can remove the negative harmful energy from the chakras and attain chakra harmony or chakra balancing. One can also prevent the bad effects of stars and planets. |
