Importance of doing sadhana in a scientific way

Sudarshan Kriya is a unique rhythmic breathing technique which has been cognated by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. This breathing technique when practised unfailingly brings back rhythm in the life of the practitioner.

Everything in life has a rhythm. The sun rises at a particular time and sets at a particular time. Birds leave the sanctuary of their nests and return back at a set time.

The seeker has to necessarily follow a laid-down routine which would enhance the quality of sadhana.

The first step is to loosen up the body and follow a strict yogic regimen to derive maximum benefit from the practice.

SURYA NAMASKAR - SUN SALUTATION

The Sun God grants us the vital energy and radiance which provides us with enormous abundance in life. This illuminating star suffuses our lives with heat and light and consequently energises our mind, body and souls. Ayurveda extols the virtues of the Sun as the provider of health. Hence the worship of the Sun assumes tremendous significance.

The worship is performed through mantra, japa, Surya Namaskar and pranayama. Sun Salutation or Surya Namaskar is more than a mere physical exercise. It exorcises fear from our mind.
