New post on Vivekananda Kendra Hyderabad RAJA YOGA – SIXTH LESSON by Ravi Sharma SIXTH LESSON (These lessons are composed of notes of class talks given by Swami Vivekananda to an intimate audience in the house of Mrs. Sara C. Bull, a devoted American disciple, and were preserved by her and finally printed in 1913 for private circulation — Ed.) Sushumnâ: It is very useful to meditate on the Sushumna. You may have a vision of it come to you, and this is the best way. Then meditate for a long time on that. It is a very fine, very brilliant thread, this living passage through the spinal cord, this way of salvation through which we have to make the Kundalini rise. In the language of the Yogi, the Sushumna has its ends in two lotuses, the lower lotus surrounding the triangle of the Kundalini and the top one in the brain surrounding the pineal gland; between these two are four other lotuses, stages on the way:          6th. Pineal Gland.          5th. Between the Eyes.          4th. Bottom of the Throat.          3rd. Level with the Heart.          2nd. Opposite the Navel.          1st. Base of Spine. We must awaken the Kundalini, then slowly raise it from one lotus to another till the brain is reached. Each stage corresponds to a new layer of the mind. ********************************************************** With this we complete the six lessons on Raja Yoga given by Swamiji. , next we shall be taking up Yoga Sutra's of Patanjali ....may be some time after meetings at Kanyakumari and Coimbatore. we may start it from Diwali. So be ready for deeper inquiry...

Vivekananda Kendra Hyderabad RAJA YOGA – FIFTH LESSON by Ravi Sharma FIFTH LESSON (These lessons are composed of notes of class talks given by Swami Vivekananda to an intimate audience in the house of Mrs. Sara C. Bull, a devoted American disciple, and were preserved by her and finally printed in 1913 for private circulation — Ed.) Pratyâhâra and Dhâranâ: Krishna says, "All who seek me by whatever means will reach me", "All must reach me." Pratyahara is a gathering toward, an attempt to get hold of the mind and focus it on the desired object. The first step is to let the mind drift; watch it; see what it thinks; be only the witness. Mind is not soul or spirit. It is only matter in a finer form, and we own it and can learn to manipulate it through the nerve energies. The body is the objective view of what we call mind (subjective). We, the Self, are beyond both body and mind; we are "Atman", the eternal, unchangeable witness. The body is crystallised thought.
