Though the purpose of yoga is athmasakshatkar or self realisation, there are various by products as you move up the ladder toward realizing yourself or to say being in yoga. Here you embrace the inner and outer realities for a perfect harmonious balance, the important point is that you do not intellectually understand the inner and outer realities but experience them. Yoga is an experience and not a subject of the intellect. Yoga works on all aspects of a person; physical, vital, mental, emotional, psychic and spiritual. Only when all the aspects are in a state of balance does a being experience liberation.

The aim of yoga is Kundalini awakening for liberation from bondages. A practitioner of Hatha Yoga goes through three phases of practice. The first stage, the beginners’ stage. This state assumes that the practitioner is a normal human being, who is attracted to the various aspects of the physical world, he wants to enjoy everything to the hilt, he wants to miss nothing, he wants to live the life which he thinks is life to the fullest.

Yoga says why not? Go ahead enjoy and go beyond, do not suppress your desires, go and sail in the ocean of life, but do not sink in it. Be like the boat which is in the water but the water is not in it, it sails through the ocean and yet completes its journey, experiencing the ocean in totality. The beginners stage deals with simple asanas and pranayams, these are preparatory for the journey ahead, your vehicle for the journey that is your body is taken through etheric and physical purifications with the aid of yogic asanas, pranayams and shat karmas. You are asked to leave nothing of the physical world, the emphasis on purifying so the heavier things of life which are not good for you leave you on their own.

As the body becomes subtler with the help of yogic purification practices, automatically the heavier things of life which are not good for you leave you. A by product of yogic practices is a light body, a clear active mind, great physical and mental strength and balanced emotions. You feel as if you have been overhauled and gain a new body actually the beginners practices do give you a new beautiful body and mind.

DHYAN FOUNDATION

Dhyan Foundation is a spiritual fellowship dedicated to living and sharing an authentic spiritual path, a charitable organization dedicated to the physical, emotional and spiritual evolution. The guiding light of the Foundation is Yogi Ashwini Ji, an ardent student of the ancient sciences.

In this fast pace life where people assume it to be nearly impossible to follow the path of Yog, Yogi Ji has assimilated techniques from the Hindu philosophies for the modern day man to practice and benefit from and this is what the Foundation calls the Sanatan Kriya(the complete kriya) which affects all the layers of the being and thus takes a being to, as told in the Hindu philosophy of Ayurveda, ‘Prakriti’ (nature that is bliss) and not ‘Vikriti’ (against nature that is disease).

Dhyan Foundation is perhaps the only organization which follows the Guru Shishya parampara where Yogi Ji relates with each one of his students on a one to one basis. What makes it unique is the fact that the Foundation does not charge any fees for any of its workshops which are held regularly all over the country or for the subsequent classes.
