Anna should pancha bhuta deepam kept only in the evening? During the evening Sandhyakalam time or any time. And also can this be kept in the morning too before our sadhana? Namaskaram 🙏
Namaskaram 🙏. As always, Vaisu Anna is our saviour in clearing out doubts… Many Thanks for making this video.. Lots of thanks to Nishant Anna for sharing every minute aspects..🙏🙏
Namaskaram Vaishu Anna and Nishant Anna 🙏. Thank you very much for this podcast - super helpful. I have already shared with my Samyama friends. I am doing Samyama in Jan 2024. I am hoping you will be able to address my questions: 1. Food related questions: a. Is Jalapeno okay as substitute for green chilli? b. Can 100% cocoa powder in unsweetened form be consumed? I generally mix it with warm almond milk and jaggery and consume it like a hot chocolate drink. c. I have 2 meals a day, and 1 meal is fully raw. However, I can’t manage to have my raw meal during the day at work. Hence my dinner is raw. My dinner is generally some fruits followed by a raw salad (cucumber, carrot, cherry tomatoes, and green capsicum with some coriander leaves). Is this okay please? d. Is vegan curd okay? e. Is boiled fresh sweet corn okay to consume? Will it be considered raw food or is it cooked food? 2. Sadhana related questions: a. Is practising shakti chalana kriya twice a day mandatory? In our PSM, I remember it was mentioned once a day is must. Twice is recommended if possible. b. Is there a progression to reach the ideal position while doing Hatha Yoga - for example placing the palm fully on the ground during padahastasana, placing the heels fully on the ground during parvatasana, forehead fully touching the knee during janu sirsasana. In all these asanas, I cannot reach the ideal pose. 3. The biggest challenge where I am struggling with is sitting for long durations in ardha sidhasana. I badly need some tips and guidance on how to sit for long hours in ardha sidhasana. Please suggest tips and techniques to increase my ardha sidhasana to a minimum of 1.5 to 2 hours. Currently it is somewhere around 45 mins. I am facing two main challenges: a. Knees hurting. b. Leg going numb (in my case its usually my right leg going numb and becoming uncomfortably painful).
Thank you Anna for your concern about the food, I do Shambhavi regularly and UPA Yoga, whole day I don't take food but at the evening I take chapati and sabji u know Gujarati thali but till sometime i faced stomach problem but your videos clear many answers for me,, yes I do every day Akashik sadhana, it's my one of the best experience till now.🙏 being house wife have some boundaries so Akash is the best friend for me.🙏
Q. Samyama clothes : how to know which colored cloth to pick for Samyama program, shall I buy the White or Orange one? How shall I decide, what would be the impact on me while using white vs orange? 🙏
Another big challenge doing Sadhana outside ashram in a home with non meditators is…… doing all the Sadhana yet appearing not to do. 😂 Spending 4-6 hrs in Sadhana room throughout the day is indigestible apparently and to top it all our diet! 😅 😅
Question ***** Shakti Chalana Kriya builts up heat (Ushna) within the body, for that buttermilk was my go-to option to cool myself down. Since we should not consume dairy products - which are other 1. 2. 3. options to cool the body???
Namaskaram annas. Thank you so much to both annas for such important information.. it will really help in preparation 🙏 Anna need one clarification, As anna said that while doing Shakti chalana we need to increase kapalbhati counts but with right technique, like increased quantity with quality.. and as he mentioned that it should hit right place... so my question is how can I know that I'm doing right way of kapalbhati?
hii anna!! I'm currently in 2nd puc and I am really interested in Isha's programs it would be great if you could share your experience or make a podcast with someone who has finished their sadhanapada and sadhana intensive( the 2-month program for sadhanapada alumni) and your videos are great- they're super informative, stimulative for ppl to know their true nature and very entertaining!!! keep going!!!!!
@@george_soros_mullah I pretty much know that there exists something beyond work, family, studies, and moreover, this brain and body hence I am interested to know that and what makes you think that this is bait? without knowing anything don't make unnecessary assumptions.
@@sanjanashankar328 I know everyone wants pursue spirituality in one or other way. But Isha is a big scam. There are better gurus out there. Jaggi is the marketing guy for them. You will not make any progress. It is just feel good bull shit.
@@george_soros_mullah then what are you doing here in a Samyama preparation video? on what basis you are making such baseless statements? To understand such things, you need an unprejudiced mind, and also, who are you to label ppl as a scam, good or bad person? do you know about them? To clean out your prejudiced mind, do some inner engineering dude, it'll enhance your perception. Next time, if you want to make such statements, there are other channels and videos that have the same opinion as yours. Don't come here and rub your stuff on others. Best of luck.
Thank you, Vaisakh anna for such a very useful and valuable podcast! I want to register for Surya Kriya and Yogasana which are mandatory for Samyama but I have arthritis and my wrist joints are hurting. Could you please check with Nishant anna if I can register for Surya kriya, Yogasana and can do all asanas. I am planning for Samyama next year end in Coimbatore ashram if i can finish all other required programs before that. Waiting for your reply. Thanks a lot!
Namaskaram, thank you for a wonderful video. This really helps. I just have 1 query can we do yoga yoga yogeshwar chant while doing some other activity or we have to meditate on it?
Namaskaram🙏🏼 Thank you for the information, that's interesting and inspiring. I want to know what is the basis for what you said about the foods because some of it wasn't adviced by Sadghuru as much as I know. (Like dark chocolate, removing the gangi from the rice etc)
Ganji removal is common all across the rice states traditionally. Even in the ashram ganji is separated. Like it is said in the video, the ashram cannot cover all the food types and products. Secondly yes ashram or Sadhguru never mentioned about chocolate. Once you have done your practices continuously without a break for for a long period of time, you develop a sense of what is negative and positive without really knowing what's in the food automatically. Chocolate is one such thing that is best avoided during this time. After the silence program or at other times there is no real need to avoid this. Since we are preparing ourselves for a particular situation certain foods are best avoided.
@31:15- this is wrong anna. SSK & Shoonya are mandatory practices. BUT so is Yogasanas. It is a mandatory prerequisite for even allowed into Samyama program and also a practice prerequisite to be done daily in preparation. It is okay to alternate days, yogasanas one day, surya kriya next day. Please be careful with giving out wrong information anna. Otherwise nice sharing 🙏🌸
Namaskaram Anna, absolutely fantastic podcast as usual. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video to help all silence program participants. I’m a health care worker. I need to wash thoroughly after work. Could you help what is best in this situation. Can we use chilli powder in cooking while preparing for silence program. 🙏🏽
You mentioned Chocolate... Is Cacao okay? And how about Ghee? Did I understand right, that I remove the water right after the water starts boiling and replace the water or did you mean that I remove the water after the rice is cooked? Or what if you soak the rice or dal before you cook it and remove the water, is that fine too? Pranam 🙏🏻
Anna.. during the pre samyama meet, the ishanga Anna told us that we can eat ghee. Avoid all dairy products except ghee. But there was no mention of ghee anywhere in this podcast. Please clarify. Thank you.
Namaskaram Anna’s Thank You so much for this video, it’s a blessing🙏🏻 Anna’s I am falling sick often and on medication for flu for sometime and viral now. This is hammering my sadhana…what can I do. Is it okay to take medicines (antibiotics)? Doctor suggested to eat healthy protein food, what can I do. Please help anna with your inputs🙏🏻
Please definitely eat good food with lot of protein as your doctor says. And definitely take antibiotics. We have to take medicines to fight aganist foreign invasions. 🤗
Namaskaram 🙏...My question is can we have fermented food like idli and dosa (naturally fermented without eno, baking soda or curd) during samyama sadhana period?
I have knee pain, I do my practice and need a chair to sit on . I can sit on a chair with out moving and can meditate for hours, but sitting on the floor is very difficult. I wanted to do samyama very very desperately. Did you see any one sitting on a chair. I am 62 and wanted to do samyama 100%, but cannot sit on the floor. Please let me is it possible to sit on a chair. Please answer my questions.
It is rather difficult I completely agree. Where we are in North KA the temps reach 5 degrees here too in Nov and Dec. In the worst case you could add a little warm water and take a bath.
Anna I have a knee injury I can't do shakti chalana ..only variation I can do .any other tips for such situation.I m saying in aashram right now till silence program.
Namaskaram anna As you have explained about kanji and rice when i tried the same with Kerala red rice kanji felt much more lighter than rice alone is this an exception on monocot?
Generally an exception either with the rice or the way your system is anna. Kanji needs to be fermented so that the starch is broken down into simple sugars for body to digest. But then again if the physical activity is intense body finds a way to break it down. Human body is a miracle in some ways
Yes and yes. Two months minimum preparation is what I noticed that the ashram has mentioned as a requirement i believe. But one mandala minimum is for the shoonya establishment. As far as practices are concerned, if Sadhguru and ashram are allowing it, it might be ok. Like it was said in the video, every program is different with him but few fundamentals hold true that shakti and shunya are the foundation.
Yes Tomatoe comes under zero pranic and should be consumed in less quantity like potatoe, tubers etc.. zero pranic is not negative but definitely brings in lethargy czcams.com/video/CnY46YIhEOY/video.htmlsi=ZkVya8RXECQZt1WZ
Ghee is allowed in minimal quantities. Best is the Indian native cow ghee as it has conducive properties. Buffalo ghee creates lethargy but if you are engaged in intense physical activity, buffalo ghee is also helpful. Jersey cow ghee is negative pranic. If you do not have ghee available and need to consume, the closest and best alternative is cold pressed coconut oil.

Another big challenge doing Sadhana outside ashram in a home with non meditators is…… doing all the Sadhana yet appearing not to do. 😂

Deepam i have posted in the video only akka🤗🤗
அண்ணா தமிழ்ல பேசினா எல்லோருக்கும் புரியும்.
If Shoonya is the basis of Samyama should there be gap to to establish the Shoonya before Samyama.. What do you suggest.. Is 40 days gap sufficient?
Yes and yes. Two months minimum preparation is what I noticed that the ashram has mentioned as a requirement i believe. But one mandala minimum is for the shoonya establishment. As far as practices are concerned, if Sadhguru and ashram are allowing it, it might be ok. Like it was said in the video, every program is different with him but few fundamentals hold true that shakti and shunya are the foundation.
Anna what you say about someone working in night shift?
Namaskaram, how about consuming honey or pollen?
Honey is fine as described by Sadhguru in many videos. Pollen, I am not too sure there are any consequences as such.
Is it fine to cut the vegetables, keep it in refrigerator and eat them later?
No Anna, definitely not.
how to give up green chillies now the where to get that spice from??
Black pepper, Red chillies, Green pepper
Is it recommended to abstain from any sexual activity during the preparation?
Hi Anna. For deepam can use palm oil?
If only any of the ghee, coconut, sesame, vegetable or mustard are not available.
🙏🙏
Is roasted peanuts negative pranic?
It's somewhere in between like potato. Once in a while it's ok but not regular consumption but for silence program it's best to avoid
Can red chilli and chilli powder be added?
Yes, red chillies, chilli powder or black pepper powder are the best
Thank you anna
