Yoga and Yogic relations are very much familiar to India. With every time, there happens to be a Guru, who inculcates Yoga and its phenomenal features to the people. Yoga and Meditation are internally related, as we all know. Yoga is believed to be carried out as a preparation course for Meditation. This is because, in deep meditation, concentration should be focused to only one point. In whatever position we meditate, our body shouldn't feel uncomfortable. To prepare our body for this kind of discipline, yoga is pretty necessary.
Notably, here in Chennai, India, we have hardly 3 - 4 groups of people who teach Yoga. Isha, SKY and Nithyananda's group. All these Institutions are famous worldwide and they teach the spirit of Meditation with the help of Yoga also called as Yogic Meditation.
An old proverb reads, "All rivers lead to the sea and all religions lead to one god". Similarly, though each of this institutions start off with a different technique in Yogic Meditation, they aim at attaining completeness in Meditation as such.
SKY - Simplified Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini is prominently known in the Hindu Yogic way of meditation. The concept of Meditation is to enable and raise the "Power of Life or the cosmic power" that resides dormant in each and every living being, which is also responsible for the source of energy supply for the human body. To simplify, we call this cosmic power or energy, "Athman".
This energy is said to remain in the Kundalini region, precisely, 1 cm above the anus. Some books also say, the Prostrate gland is the source of this "Yuir Shakthi or cosmic energy", since this is the region where blood is converted into sperms which is responsible in giving birth to a child after a due course of action.
So, activating this particular gland by concentrating only on them, will help the person attain the state of "Shanthi Yogam" according to SKY. After a few days of realizations, the person should transport this kundalini's energy to his forehead and between the eyebrows and later to the center of his head. All these are named according to the process such as "Shanthi Dhavam, Aaginai Dhavam and Dhuriya Dhavam". With constant practice and healthy meditation sessions, the doer will be able to realize the source of his birth and this will automatically lead him to take actions to liberate his soul from this world and attain paramathman, which is the ultimate goal of Hinduism.
In SKY, Yoga is also taught which is nothing but exercises which will make the body flexible. With this, the doer can take complete concentration to his meditation rather than his disturbing body.
Vedhaththri Maharishi:
Vedhaththri Maharishi is believed to be a saint, who was born in Guduvancherry, some 20 Km from Tambaram, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Vedhaththri Maharishi was the founder of SKY. His bibliographies and Autobiographies say that he has spent almost 50 years in his life time to simplify the Yogic meditation practices. All the methods that has been taught under SKY classes are the ones that are taken from the manuscripts written by Siddhas in India. All these meditation practices can be taken with a Guru's advice registered with Vedhaththri Group.
