Thanks for your Email appending therein USEFUL SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS containing the very essence of all Yoga Sadhana. I m also on spiritual path and learned different yoga techniques for my spiritual advancement. some of the techniques I learned r as under: 1)Kriya Yoga of YSS, of Param Hansa Yoga Nanda 2)Vipassana of S N Goenka , Igatpuri, India 3)T M meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 4)Ananda Marg of Anand Murthi of Calcutta, India 5)Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan of New Maxico 6)Advanced Yoga Practices of Yogani , USA 7)Shambhavi Mahamudra & OTHER MEDITATIONS of Isha Yoga Foundation, Coimbatore, India 8)Siddha Samadhi Yoga of Rishi Prabhakar, Banglore, India. 9)Raj Yoga of Brahma Kumaris, India etc etc Actually initially I became follower of Brahma Kumaris in 1974 however due to my utter failure to observe celibacy, which was pre requisite requirement for the follower of that path I had to give it up and joined Kriya yoga of YSS in 1984 at Calcutta purposely to gain sufficient yoga power to observe celibacy but since that technique could also not help in maintaining complete celibavy I remain learning one after another techniques but all r futile efforts. Even today I m not in control of my excessive desire. I chalked the goal of this life as liberation from the cycle of birth & death but I find that I M no where as one can't think of liberation if there is any binding desire whatsoever. Since u r organising a Divine group therefore I dare to write my problem if i can get any remedial measures/ solution.

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 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. SVADHYAYAStudy 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 charity regularly.10. HAVE SATSANGGive up bad company, smoking, meat and alcoholic liquors entirely. Have constant Satsang (association with Sri Krishna's pure devotees). Do not develop any evil habits. Deliberately exert to develop positive virtuous qualities.11. FASTFast on Nawmi (9th day of the Hindu lunar fortnight) we must not eat anaj (Grains) or live on milk and fruits only. Simply do fast as we do in Navratri. Thouse who want can take grain meal once or more till three meals are allowed but purity of meal must be mentained. food must not be stailed or of others it must be your bought, mentained a life of devotee for a day it bring habbit if good life. We must respect cow, any must be bramchari.12. JAPA MALAHave a Japa Mala (rosary) around your neck or in your pocket or underneath your 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 you may be engaged in.13. OBSERVE MOUNAObserve Mouna (vow of silence) for a couple of hours daily. Do not make gestures and inarticulate noises during the period of silence.14. DISCIPLINE OF SPEECHSpeak the truth at all cost. Speak a little. Speak sweetly. Always utter encouraging words. Never condemn, criticize or discourage. Do not raise your voice and shout at little children or subordinates.15. BE CONTENTReduce your wants. If you have four shirts, reduce 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 mistakes you have committed during the course of the day, just before retiring to bed (self-analysis). Keep a daily spiritual diary and self-correction register. Maintain a daily routine and resolve-form. Do not brood over past mistakes.19. DO YOUR DUTYRemember that death is awaiting you at every moment. Never fail to fulfil your duties. Have pure conduct (Sadachara).|| Jai Dadi Ki ||Tired of spam?
