Grabbing this opportunity I rushed to one of my favorite place which is closer to nature and allows solitude required for intense sadhana. I won't bother you about the whereabouts of the place but here are few snaps with spiritual messages they convey. 22 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/89951fbd-4bdd-4fc5-98de-a3b039d50ccd.aspxOnce upon a time there lived a retired school teacher in a small village. In spite of his poor financial condition he used to teach the interested and needy students free of cost. He had great faith in Lord Krishna and the teachings of Bhagvat Gita. One day his wife complained, "There is nothing in the house today for us to eat. Get some grocery items from the shop. He is your friend and will surely lend you something."04 May 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/ac8dd477-589c-4825-9f5d-b38a75324699.aspxThere are many styles of Kriya Yoga around and each style presents you a set of recommended techniques. Many beginners believe that Kriya Yoga doesn't include the Nadishodhana Pranayama. This is of course not true. Just because some famous Kriya Yoga teachers didn't teach Nadishodhana doesn't make it inferior or unnecessary. In fact I consider this kriya as a very important cleansing and brain balancing practice that all the practitioners (especially beginner to intermediate level) should include in their practice routine. 31 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/9378b3d1-c6bc-4797-a072-f20127cc3845.aspxFew days back a reader contacted me with his problem. He said - "You are teaching us meditation techniques to calm our mind. But I simply can't control my mind. It is causing me a lot of trouble. As soon as sit for meditation my mind is becomes restless, constantly thinking about all other matters of life except meditation! My mind is the culprit for my tensions and stress in the life."16 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/a73b2e0a-6c6e-4992-a4b8-4b2b91ee18b1.aspxSome readers have requested me to throw more light on the word "Kriya Yoga" as they find multiple meanings of the same in various resources. Actually speaking a practitioner need not know these details at all because more than the name your practice is more important. However, just to quench your inquisitiveness I am writing in bit detail about the same. 03 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/d1dee2d9-1c2a-4347-9fc0-ba0d4f935dbd.aspxSpiritual life is unique for individual Yoga practitioner. However, broadly speaking it can be classified into four stages. An average practitioner undergoes these four stages progressively. Depending on his progress a practitioner can be termed as Worldly Person, Spiritual Aspirant, Spiritual Seeker and Spiritual Master.25 Feb 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/809ddd68-dc88-49d2-8e33-9da6afb88e16.aspxAs our web site is becoming more and more popular I am getting more and more questions from individuals. I am glad to see that people are getting benefited by these practices and are applying Kriya Yoga teachings successfully in their lives. To further help individuals in improving their practice and overall understanding of Kriya Yoga I have decided to write regularly on various topics related to practice and yoga in general. You will see posts under this section from time to time. Stay tuned!20 Feb 2008 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.bipinjoshi.org/articles/b13a704e-0d63-43d5-9d5c-59c478a8fbc4.aspxOnce upon a time there was a poor Bramhin named Vajasravas. Though poor he was a pious and religious by nature. One day he decided to perform a Yajna (fire sacrifice). As a sacrifice he put all his resources, which mainly included feeble, weak and old cattle. His son Nachiketa sensed this and told him to sacrifice him along with the cattle. Enraged by his son's words and angered by his own inability, the poor Vajasravas cursed him to go to Yama, the god of death.07 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT
