Countless people living stress-filled lives in big cities
and smaller towns around the world constantly look for a
panacea that can help them get rid of stress and ailments
they suffer when modern medicine is of no help. Others are
in earnest search of eternal truth and God. Many of these
people take to yoga to reach their intended goals. Their
enthusiasm however begins to wane after a short while because
most of them soon discover that the daily regimen of yoga
workouts isn’t easy to sustain for long; either due
to lack of time or irregular hours of work. That apart,
various yogic asanas (postures) — twists and contortions
of body — aren’t easy to perform for most people.
In fact, in most cases it is not advisable to initially
perform yogic postures without the watchful eye of a guru
or a yoga trainer. Joining a yoga studio could be expensive
or impracticable for those who are hard pressed for time.
Does this mean that yoga isn’t for ordinary folks,
who have neither time nor resources to access systematic
yoga training? Ordinarily, the answer would be, “Yes,
Yoga isn’t practicable for all.”
However, a highly evolved spiritual master, can make the
practice of yoga much simpler and easy to follow and effective
for his disciples by using his own spiritual powers. Guru
Siyag, being one such Master, helps his disciples avail
of the best of yoga benefits through his Siddha Yoga without their having to go through the rigors of training
and workouts at home or in the gyms. Under Siddha Yoga,
all an interested person is required to do is to get initiated
by Guru Siyag, and the rest is easy to follow.
Guru Siyag initiates a seeker as his disciple by giving
him/her a mantra — a divine word — to chant
silently and shows him/her how to meditate every day. The
daily meditation is to be accompanied by chanting of the
mantra. The chanting of the mantra becomes automatic when
it is repeated constantly over a certain period of time.
This however depends directly on the degree of intensity,
faith and sincerity with which the chanting is done. In
some cases the chanting becomes automatic just over a week
while some other cases it takes a fortnight or even a few
months. Besides chanting of the Mantra, the disciple is
also required to meditate briefly — for about 15 minutes
at a time — for instance, in the morning and evening.
As the initiated person begins to progress on the Siddha Yoga path, he/she soon feels stress-free, feels their concentration
has improved and thoughts have become more positive. During
meditation, many practitioners experience yogic postures
and body movements happening automatically. The practitioner
can neither start, stop nor control these yogic Kriyas (body
movements) willfully. These Kriyas are specifically unique
to each practitioner like a custom-made program. This is
because the divine force that is at work here through Guru
Siyag’s spiritual powers knows exactly which specific
postures the practitioner needs to undergo to rid himself
of body and mind ailments, and to progress on the spiritual
path. The yogic postures under the Siddha Yoga are therefore
not standardized nor are they orchestrated willfully like
those in a conventional yoga school. An observer watching
people participate in group meditation under the Siddha Yoga is often astonished to notice that almost each participant
undergoes different yogic postures. Most practitioners also
experience a sense of exhilaration and joy during meditation
that they had never experienced before. As the Yogic Kriyas
happen automatically, Guru Siyag’s Yoga is known as
‘Siddha Yoga’.
A practitioner of Siddha Yoga begins to notice positive
and evident changes when he/she has practiced meditation regularly over a period of time. The effect of chronic ailments
and diseases begins to wear off to a point where the practitioner
feels he/she is completely freed from pain and suffering
that have dogged him for years. Siddha Yoga has the same
positive impact on people, who are addicted to drugs, alcohol,
etc or those, who suffer varying degrees of mental problems
such as schizophrenia, Phobias, etc. If healthy, a practitioner
progresses faster on the spiritual path, making him/her
realize his/her true self and the purpose of why he/she
is here on earth, and how he/she can actually realize God.
Faith and dedication to Guru Siyag is the key to achieve
effective results from the practice of Siddha Yoga. Guru
Siyag’s Yoga is open to all irrespective of their
color, race, religion, nationality, gender or age.
To get initiated, an interested person needs to meet Guru
Siyag in person at least once to be able to continue the
Siddha Yoga practice effectively for the rest of his/her
life.Read more about Initiation programs in ‘AVSK News Board’.
