Honoring the Guru means honoring your own Brahmanda and yourself since you yourself are Brahmanda. In general, the extraverted vision and the vision into oneself are interconnected...

“... vairagya is unthinkable without social realization, because life itself is a mean for burning the vessel of the practitioner’s detachment, thus becoming ‘adhara’ for the development of this quality.” — Natha Yoga School https://t.co/jlqYuDWu5b

A wise person does not wait until Maya catches him by surprise, causing suffering, taking away the objects of his attachments, he acts purposefully, consciously leaving that which has a limited nature.

“‘Adesh’ is the word used by Natha yogis to greet each other. Its literally translation is ‘will’, ‘order’, ‘instruction’, where ‘will’ is the more accurate translation.

Sahaja means “essence”, i.e. innate, primordial, higher nature. The practice of sahaja is the awareness of oneself as Shiva-Shakti yamala (union), without any efforts in the form of techniques or willingness https://t.co/DAVv4vYa14

“the most important thing is what is closer to you, and of course, it all depends on what you consider as yourself: soul, mind, body etc. The internal transformation of consciousness-energy in the sphere of feelings is closer to you…” — Natha Yoga School https://t.co/EG7n0qH3lX

In Nathas tradition Amanaska is a part of taraka-yoga (prana-yoga, shakti-yoga), in the practice of which the light of consciousness is amplified through Kundalini-shakti as Vimarsha..

“‘Adhara’ means basis or foundation. In yoga esoteric aspects of the body are called adharas. Those are the points of prana transformation and areas for concentration” — Natha Yoga School https://t.co/v2eVCDKaMd

In the interpretation of time in the Nath tradition, the worship of Mahakala Bhairava plays very important. "Bhairava" is the manifestation of Shiva, "Kala" means "time," and "Mahakala" means eternity

“True sadhaka is pure in heart as a child who never gets tired and does a lot during the day. He can drop all he does and switch fast into doing other things.” — Natha Yoga School https://t.co/jQ349B5VJT

It may seem that the texts speak about different locations of kanda (in the muladhara, in the manipura, between the penis and the navel). But if you turn to #Tantra, you can see that the texts describe one structure, just from different perspectives. https://t.co/9B2JKbtM1o

“When it’s said that prāṇāyāma improves health, it means that you achieve your natural state by getting rid of the unnatural. Health in Sanskrit is ‘svastha’, from the roots sva (own) and stha (existing), but the meaning is much more…” — https://t.co/ilbxABTbaJ

Mantra Yoga is a method for achieving the highest goal by using mantras. Practicing Mantra Yoga, sadhaka realizes mantra that he or she receives from Guru and the mantra`s siddhi: https://t.co/r8F8F8GP4I

Such #pranayama leads to connection between mind and prana and “#Kundalini straightens”. This results in that the channels are cleansed, and the circulation of #prana in the channels is distributed evenly.

“Zeal (utsaha) is certainty, intelligence, knowledge of reality, knowledge of the meaning, the rejection of the idle talk — these six steps lead to the improvement of yoga.”

Prana is usually associated with consciousness, and with his work. Also prana is associated with breathing, but prana means “vital energy”, and it especially manifests itself in breathing https://t.co/GSk4zOEuxN

Yogic nature of Dhūmāvatī Goddess. We should observe Dhūmāvatī first and foremost as a Goddess with the profound symbolism. Officially she doesn’t have her own Bhairava, because she and he are one and the same. https://t.co/LYpJWT6zfG
