IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE
Lord Shiva teaching Goddess Parvati - the YOGA and when it comes to PRANAYAMA He tells Her -- when the alternate nostril breathing has been practiced for 3 months DAILY and FOUR times a day the nadis (blood vessels) of the body will be surely purified.
In fact Lord Shiva is explaining Goddess Parvati the PRANAYAMA which we know/call as Anulom Vilom (Alternate nostril breathing) and promises that Nadis (the blood vessels supposed to be 72000 in nos) will surely be purified . This purification is first step in realizing the ENERGY levels each individual already HAS and once realized the energy is so HIGH that nothing in UNIVERSE is unreachable. But then there are only a few (who one can count on fingers ) capable of realizing above.
How the above is to be practiced:
1. Four times a day (sunrise , noon , sunset , midnight)
2. Without neglect or idleness and free from all duals like love/hatred , doubt , contention etc. for a continuous period of 3 months at least and depending upon the efficiency , efficacy of our practice the period may get lengthened to 4 months , 6 months , One year or even more but if continuity is not lost the result or FRUIT of result will be seen.
Thus in life nothing is IMPOSSIBLE but what is required is practice with dedication , consistency and FAITH.
Lord Krishna in Bhagawad Gita tells us – “YOGA KARMASU KOUSHALAM” meaning yoga is achieving expertise in any activity you perform which is possible when you think of that activity only and nothing else – such an engrossment will definitely lead to expertise. If we achieve the expertise in ANULOM/VILOM the results may be seen much faster.
And HOW to achieve EXPERTISE
Dear friends practice , practice , practice is the MANTRA – hope you will be able to appreciate this and make it a part of your life be blessed with purified nadis and ultimately the unimaginable levels of ENERGY.
