  • Paramahamsa Prajnanananda is a God realized master and a world renowned teacher of Kriya Yoga. He represents an ancient and unbroken lineage of Kriya Yoga masters that include such spiritual stalwarts like Mahavatar Babaji, Yogiraj Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahashaya, Swami Shriyukteshwar Giri, Shri Bhupendranath Sanyal Mahashaya, Paramahamsa Yogananda the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, Swami Satyananda Giri, and Paramahamsa Hariharananda. This video is taken from a class on the Yoga Sutra of Sage Patanjali that Paramahamsaji was conducting for the Residential Brahmachari Training Course held in the ashram in Balighai, near Puri, in India. Here the Paramahamsa yogi teaches how to convert ordinary sleep into Yoganidra - or the Yogi's sleep. He explains that Yogis can watch that they are sleeping and in a few minutes of this practice can get the relaxation of few hours of normal sleep. Prajnananandaji then highlights the steps to practice this. Please visit www.kriya.org to learn more about the Guru and his lineage, and also about his mission.

    Yoganidra steps for conscious sleep
    •Shower before bed or at least up to the hips
    •Place of sleep should be clean and well ventilated
    •Sleep surface neither too hard or too soft
    •Meditate a little before lying down
    •Feel that the body is body of light
    • Bring concentration to your own feet, internally say to self 'I am not that, I am not the feet'
    • Continue this for each part of the body slowly up to the head, simultaneously observing the breath
    •When you get to the top internally say
    'I am consciousness'
    'I am love'
    'I am child of God'
    'I am sleeping on the lap of my Divine Mother'
    'Sleep is Divinity'
    •Be the witness that you are sleeping
    •Focus on the light on top of the head/forehead
    •Then gone 💤💤💤
    •Wake up with watching the breath 🌬️👀

    Very interesting. I use to practice yoga nidra when I go to bed. It helps me to relax and I noticed that with one guided yoga nidra meditation that goes in 9 minutes through 61 boddy points, it improves greatly my concentration. Sankalpa (intention /affirmation) is also great in yoga nidra and reminds of Yogananda's teachings in this matter. What Paramahamsa Prajnananda teaches us here is totally new to me. I'll try it

    I have had an occurrence, one time only within this incarnation at least, where I have maintained Consciousness and my conscious awareness before during and after sleep. Very invigorating experience. Om Namah Shivaya

    I believe I did this accidentally a few days ago. I was meditating in bed and sitting completely in the self (atman) and then while my body fell asleep, I seemed to be hovering slightly over it and was completely aware. I could hear the body snoring and could also clearly see the room around me. This continued until I became bored or restless, then the body awoke and I was back "in it". Thanks for explaining this. I believe Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi also did this regularly.

      What I am saying is all the text of our sanatana dharma(upanishad) or basically philosophy of yoga finally boils down to one thing that there is one superconscious element that is... And we are far minute than that. So instead of fighting over which figure to put is irrelevant, if you are so into sanatana dharma then all these trivial thing should not bother you much.
      Take the crux out of the teaching or philosophy and stop making these issues a topic to debate overr.
