USEFUL SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS

 

These twenty instructions contain the very essence of all Yoga Sadhana, Karma,

Bhakti, Jnana and Yoga will all come to one who follows them whole-heartedly.

They are the unfailing keys to quick and effective development and culture of

the physical, mental, moral and spiritual self of man.

1. BRAHMAMUHURTAGet up at 4 a.m. daily. This is Brahmamuhurta which is extremely

favourable for Sadhana. Do all your morning spiritual Sadhana during this period

from 4 a.m. to 6:30 or

FONT-FAMILY: Arial">7 a.m. Such Sadhana gives quick and maximum progress.2.

ASANASit on Padmasana (lotus pose), Siddhasana (adept's pose) or Sukhasana (any

pose you like) for your Japa and meditation for half an hour, facing east or

north. Increase the period gradually to three hours. Practice Sirshasana

(headstand) and Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) for maintenance of health and

Brahmacharya. Take light physical exercises as walking, etc., regularly. Do

twenty

rounds of easy, comfortable Pranayama (breathing exercises). Do not strain

yourself while doing Pranayama.3. JAPAYou can repeat any of ur favourite maha

mantra 108 times each daily.

4. DIETETIC DISCIPLINETake Sattvic food. Give up chillies, tamarind, garlic,

onion, sour articles, oil, mustard, asafoetida. Observe moderation in diet

(Mitahara). Do not overload the stomach. Give up those things which the mind

likes best for a fortnight once or twice in a year. Eat simple food. Milk and

fruits help concentration. Take food as medicine to keep the life going. Eating

for enjoyment is a sin. Give up salt and sugar for a week or a fortnight. You

must be able to live on rice, dhal and bread without any pickle. Do not ask for

extra salt for dhal, and sugar for tea, coffee and milk. People taking non-

vegetaraian diet should try their best to gradually give up flesh-eating as

completely as possible. They will be immensely benefited.5. MEDITATIONHave a

separate meditation room under lock and key. If this is not possible then a

corner of the room should be set apart with a small cloth screen or curtain

drawn across. Keep the room spotlessly clean.6. SVADHYAYA

Study systematically the Gita, Ramayana, Bhagavatam, Vishnu- Sahasranama,

Hanuman Chalisa and related religious books from half an hour to one hour

daily, and have Suddha Vichara (pure thoughts).

7. ELEVATE THE MINDGet by heart some prayer - Slokas (prayer verses), Stotras

(hymns) and repeat them as soon as you sit in the Asana before starting Japa or

meditation. This will elevate the mind quickly.

8. BRAHMACHARYAPreserve the vital force (Veerya (seminal energy)) very, very

carefully. Veerya is God in motion or manifestation (Vibhuti). Veerya is all

power. Veerya is all money. Veerya is the essence of life, thought and

intelligence. This instruction is not for bachelors only. Householders also

must follow it as far as possible. They must be extremely moderate in their

marital connections with their spouse. This is very important.9. CHARITYDo

charity regularly, every month, or even daily according to your means. Never

fail in this item. If necessary forego some personal wants but keep up this

devotee for a day it bring habbit if good life. We must respect cow,

any must be bramchari.

12. JAPA MALA

pillow at night. This will remind you of Ultimate Authority. Twirl the beads

during your leisure. You should repeat Her names at all times, whatever task

the number to three or two. Lead a happy, contented life. Avoid unnecessary

worry. Be mentally detached. Have plain living and high thinking. Think of

those who do not possess even one-tenth of what you have. Share with others.16.

PRACTICE LOVENever hurt anybody. Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah (Non-injury is the

highest virtue). Control anger by love, Kshama (forgiveness) and Daya

(compassion). Serve the sick and the poor with love and affection. This is

service of Bhagavan Krishna.17. BE SELF RELIANTDo not depend upon servants.

Self-reliance is the highest of all virtues.18. HAVE SELF-ANALYSISThink of the
