Amar Jyoti Rehabilitation and Research Centre

Over the years, students have often given gifts on the anniversary of TriYoga
(January 5). This year Kaliji said that IF inspired to give a gift, to please consider making a monetary donation so that TriYoga International can give the donation to charity. Sri Swamiji had requested that TriYoga offer $2,500 for a school for handicapped children in Delhi, India. »

On this night whoever utters the name of Shiva with perfect devotion gets a free pass and all there sins are forgiven. Also they become liberated.

This same theme is used throughout yoga history.

If you practice Kriya yoga so many rounds you will be liberated, but each round must be perfect.

There is always a catch (isn’t there always) “perfect practice” And if a devotee could do perfect parctice they wouldn’t need a special night or special technique.

Of all the systems of yoga that have come to this planet only TriYoga step by step trains all aspects of the mind so a devotee can practice yoga sadana perfectly and with devotion.

First the complete breath makes the mind so calm, that it can be trained.
Then concentration on the victory breath brings the mind to one point.

When ever the mind is placed on anything the mind thinks about it. Students are taught complete victory breath while being “the silent witness” so resless thoughts do not disrupt the concentration on the sound of the breath.

Constant practice gives the mind the ability to stay focused on one point or idea without interuption.

As the studens continues to practice the body can sit in digambara (with the help of props) and not disturb the mind.

The breath and mind become slow, smooth, and silent and there appears natural retention between the inhalation and exhalation. This is when the true power of TY shines because when the mind is interiorized and has no power of mudra the thoughts will take it away no mater how hard one tries to stay focused. With a mind that has been so superbly trained by TY sadana a devotee can take full advantage of the state pratyahara to continue yoga sadhana using the higher techniques.

Now the student has the mental power to practice energy visualization with deep concentration
or utter the name of Shiva

But why is a person going to so much trouble, they could be practicing to get power for evil?
The why is the devotional aspest.
Devotion is not emotion.
You can love someone, even the Guru with selfish motives.
After energy visualization when we sit in meditation this mind that has been so interiorized and superbly trained to be the silent witness gets to see itself in perfect clarity. The chit may not disturb the practice anymore but it will clearly show you who you really are. Or where you really are.

This TY sadana will also bring direct experience of higher power. When the mind develops mudra there is nothing to prevent darshana with cosmic power. This experience of Darshna will outshine any rewards this earthly plane has to offer and become the “why” to practice TY sadana.

All this is possible and only possible because of Kaliji comming to this planet.

So if any name can be uttered with true devotion it would have to be Kaliji’s for all she has gives and done for us.
