The way we position our body directly influences the mind, allowing us to transcend physical discomfort and reach a state of profound meditation. When the body is stable and balanced, energy flows freely, and the journey inward becomes effortless. Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, as taught by Swami Shivkrupanandji, emphasises the importance of adopting a posture that encourages both relaxation and alertness, ensuring an effective and transformative meditation practice. The ideal meditation posture is one that maintains the spine in an upright position. The spine is the central energy channel, and its alignment facilitates the smooth flow of prana, or life force, within the body. Sitting with a straight spine allows us to remain alert while also preventing unnecessary strain. This alignment fosters a state of deep...

These invisible chains keep us bound to the external world, making us believe that our happiness and fulfillment depend on material possessions, relationships, and worldly achievements. However, the deeper truth, as revealed through the teachings of Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog and Swami Shivkrupanandji, is that true liberation comes from within.

The human mind is a complex web of desires and fears, constantly oscillating between the past and the future. This ceaseless movement creates a state of unrest, preventing us from experiencing the stillness of our true nature. In meditation, when we begin to detach from this incessant mental chatter, we start to glimpse the vast, infinite space of void within. This void i...

  Sector 21 - Our First Enclosure                                            Divinity at the Mahakumbh When the news about the Mahakumbh first started coming into the public domain I had a great inner desire to participate in it. I sent a message to Swamiji in the beginning of January and he replied with an emoji. With that response I was sure that I would get to go there. Once the Mahakumbh started along with the Samarpan Mahakumbh (Gahan Dhyan Anushthan) on January 12-13, I went to my friend’s office in the same office complex and expressed my intention of going to Prayagraj for the Mahakumbh. He immediately responded, saying that he too would come and that he is originally from Benaras and has relatives in Prayagraj, as a result he would also take care of all the arrangements.
