SAMYAMA ON THROAT – VISHUDHI CHAKRA
Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Sutra 137, Chapter 3, Verse 31
kantha kupe kshutpipasa nivrittih
“I am continuing on the samyama on the throat chakra: Kandakupeh kshutpipasa nivruthihi. Patanjali is using a very powerful word – nivruthihi means the very vruthi becomes insignificant to you. You go beyond it. Vruthi means that movement, that wave, that disturbance – hunger & thirst is supposed to be a kind of disturbance. Nivruthi means you just go beyond the disturbance. It is no more a disturbance for you!
Today I will speak on the 3rd dimension of this sutra. Yesterday I gave you the exact process – Visualize the intense burning sun on the throat for at least 21 minutes, merge into that visualization. Give a strong instruction when you are in that samyama: please balance yourself, please become alive, please express your intelligence.
When you give these kind of instructions, even if there are 1 or 2 mistakes in your visualizations or instructions, let the balance happen. Instead of saying let strong weight loss happen, give instruction, let you be intelligent and balanced.
I tell you all diseases related to obesity and overweight will disappear with this samyama. The kundalini awakening in the 1st level is a gift by me. When you levitate, if you practice this samyama it will directly start giving you the result in your life. Kundalni awakening is like me giving you a million dollars. Doing this samyama is like you spending that money for whatever you want.
If you are sitting in my presence regularly, even if you are not levitating regularly, if you are feeling psychologically something extraordinary is happening in your system by the master’s presence, then understand you are having the direct presence of the master and kundalini is awakening in you.
Sitting in the master’s presence means in our temples being seen directly by me or sitting in my physical presence – this is one group, sitting in your house alone and meditating is another group. When you see a clear solid difference when you sit in my presence, then your kundalini is awakening. Then when you do these kind of samyamas during this time, you will see immediate results will happen.
Mystical Part of this Sutra
Now I am going to talk to you about the mystical part of this sutra. I will recommend not to practice this part unless you are directly physically sitting with me & working.
This 1st part which Patanjali talks as nivruthi – means living completely without food and water. The 1st – changing the wrong signals to right signals and 2nd reducing the food intake – these 2 you can practice. But this 3rd one that I am talking now, you need to do in my physical presence so that I can ensure you are safe. I want to express it so that it is on record.
Understand, in this you need to get into a unique diet system. You will be surprised how this diet system can get you to a space of no food. This was taught to me by Issakki Swamigal.
First instruction is at least 8 times a day do this samyama. Means 21 minutes intensely visualizing the hot sun on the throat chakra & merging into that energy. After each time, have some food made out of the rice flour and ghee, usually he takes the ghee dosa. Have ghee dosa. You have to eat 8 times.
It may be like a paradox. That is how it starts. Do samyama 8 times. After every samyama he used to eat ghee dosa. You can eat a ghee and rice flour item. Eat as much as you can. But the problem is all 8 times you have to eat. If you say 1st two times you ate and 3rd time you are not able to eat. No. something is wrong.
If you continue this after every samyama it will become half in 10 days. Then it will become quarter after 20 days. Then after every samyama within 3 months, your system will become so alive and strong you may then just need a tea spoon of ghee.
I have seen Issakki Swamigal live with 10 teaspoons of little sugar & teaspoon of ghee. That’s all. Nothing else. He will not only walk Arunachala hill, he will roll! Just with 10 teaspoon of ghee & sugar. I want to warn you this kind of samyama can be done only in the presence of the master.
I will prove with 10 of my ashramites. I want to show all this to the world. I am so happy that you guys are doing the Chandra samyama. You will actually have the nectarian effect on your system. When you look in – your liver, heart, intestine you will feel like a child’s body – alive, fresh! That is how you will know if the samyama is working or not.
Whenever you visualize the sun or moon or polar star, anything in your inner space, it is called inner light. Whenever you visualize inner light inside, your body becomes suddha prakasa – the self effulgent light. You will see that you have just a child’s body.
This Inner Awakening I will see people will be taking in 25% of the quantity but they will be alive, active and energetic. No side effects. I have yoga prashtaas who live around me. I will pick up those yogis and train them. I will prove to the world – see here, people are living without food and water.
Essence of this Sutra
Understand the essence – 1. Changing the wrong signal to right signal. 2. Reducing the food intake. 3. Completely independent, free from food.
This 3rd samyama as I said, 8 times a day samyama. After every samyama eat ghee dosa and automatically the food intake will come down. You will not feel like eating. You will feel only this much is enough. When you are supposed to take 8 times, your body will take exactly what it needs. What it can burn in next 1 or 1/2 hour.
Your bio memory will start trusting that you will get food every one hour. So you do not need to store it. The 1st thing you need to do is your bio memory needs to trust. You need not store. But for this you need to do heavy yoga like 200 or 300 surya namaskar or heavy weight lifting!
With very minimal food I will build the body & show to you. I am working on all these samyamas through my body so that people can understand and practice it. In our tradition, all swamis, brahmacharis and even devotees should be yogis.
When I use the word samajis, satsangis don’t think you have the title because you contribute a little money. NO. I want you to do tapas. Build the body, build the mind. Understand yogic body, vedic mind and eNliving. I can say this is the essence. All these 3 should happen in you.
So the exact instruction for going beyond the necessity of food & water. Let me add this instruction also. After taking that one ghee dosa, you have to drink as much water as possible. So 8 samyamas, 8 meals nothing else should be taken in. Within 3 months, simply a spoon of ghee & sugar is enough for you. Body will be alive.
It is a very safe and smooth way of transition for your body from food to no food. A very safe transition.
I have seen Issakki Swamigal do this for at least 3 or 4 people. Many villages in India you can find these kind of yogis. Even in Paramahamsa Yogananda’s autobiography you will find there is a reference of a lady yogi who lived without food & water. If you travel all over India you will find at least 2000 people – yogis who don’t eat any food & take any water – just independent of food & water. This was actually a life science for us. Later on in course of time, it got lost.
Let us now enter into the samyama. Intensely focus on the Vishuddhi chakra, the throat center and visualize the sun. Even if you are levitating, focus on it. Keep getting your focus back to the Vishuddhi Chakra and visualize the sun in that space… Blessings!”
