Yoga is the timeless practice of unity and connection with the Cosmic Consciousness. In essence, Yoga signifies the eternal bond that ensures we are never separate from the divine source of Cosmic Energy, which sustains our very existence.
At the heart of Yoga lies the philosophy of Sunyoga, where the concept “to” “Yog” embodies the inner light within each of us. This inner light merges seamlessly with the universal light, illuminating our path toward oneness with the Cosmos. The true union between our inner selves and the celestial realms occurs when the frequency of our internal vibrations aligns harmoniously with the universal vibrations.
In this sacred union, we realise that the macro cosmos also resides within our microcosmos. Every aspect of the Universe, every spark of light, is intricately woven into the fabric of our being. Through self-realisation, the veil of existence is lifted, revealing the profound secrets of Creation.
Self-realisation stands as the ultimate remelife’slife’s myriad challenges. When we attune ourselves to the frequency of the Universe, enlightenment dawns upon us. In this divine alignment, we genuinely comprehend the essence of existence and experience the boundless radiance of enlightenment.
Yog “means “inner “light,” which becomes one with universal light when ignited. The union of the inner self with the Cosmos or the heavenly father occurs when our int vibration’s frequency matches the univvibration’s frequency. Whatever exists in the macro cosmos also exists in the micro cosmos or individual self, meaning that all the light of the Universe may also be concealed in the physical body. Everything in the Universe is inside us; when self-realisation happens, the secret of existence and Creation becomes evident. Self-realisation is the ultimate solution to life’s problems. When we are one with the Universe, then we experience enlightenment.
In our journey through life, we often seek guidance in all directions yet feel disconnected and confined by narrow awareness. The path to genuine connection may seem small, but it requires a delicate balance of inner and outer harmony, shedding the layers of ego that cloud our perception.
Through meditation, we can expand our consciousness beyond the confines of our physical bodies, reaching out to embrace the essence of the five elements – Earth, Sun, galaxy, and Universe. This expansion, from the individual to the cosmic, defines Yoga. It is the sacred union of our souls with the Supreme Soul, a connection nurtured through the science of Yoga.
Within the realm of Yoga, diverse paths exist, each offering unique techniques to facilitate this connection. Yet, actual effectiveness is found in methods developed by enlightened saints. Unfortunately, the purity of these techniques often becomes diluted over time as they are tampered with by those needing more complete understanding.
Having a physically alive, fully enlightened guru to guide us is invaluable. Their wisdom can help us navigate obstacles that may impede our progress. While physical health through practices like Hatha Yoga is essential, it is merely a stepping stone to Cosmic Consciousness.
Specific forms of Yoga, such as meditation focusing on the third eye, can accelerate our progress. The lower chakras naturally align by balancing higher chakras like the Ajna Chakra. These paths, known as Gyan Marg or the Knowledge Path, include Sunyoga. In Sunyoga, the Sun serves as a conduit for connection to Cosmic Consciousness or Cosmic Energy. The cornerstone of Sunyoga is Sun Meditation, a powerful practice that leads us towards the profound realisation of our unity with the Universe.
What is Sunyoga?
Unlocking the boundless potential of Cosmic Energy is within reach through our connection to the Sun, the ultimate source of life. Balancing our bodies and minds becomes effortless as we tap into this universal energy. But how do we establish this connection? It all begins with creating the right mindset of gratitude, reverence, and unwavering focus.
As we embark on our meditation journey, we gaze towards the Sun, engaging our third eye. Our eyes remain wide open to absorb the Sun’s brilliance, yet angled maximum upwards to prevent direct rays into the eyes. Ultimately, the Sun will not be visible with our physical eyes. All the time, it is crucial that we intend to create and feel friendship with the Sun and free our minds from all expectations. Thus, we should avoid getting distracted by our thoughts, surrender, and fully immerse ourselves in the experience.
Mahavatar Babaji revealed to Sunyogi the transformative power of Photon Energy, which, upon entering our bodies, is transmuted into the five elemental energies – Space, Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. These vital forces course through our being, nourishing every cell and organ and restoring balance and vitality. Even the most entrenched ailments yield to the healing touch of this cosmic energy.
However, Sun Meditation is merely the pinnacle of Sunyoga – a comprehensive path to spiritual enlightenment. Sunyoga advocates for disciplined practices like Yama, Niyama, and Asana, emphasising the importance of a solid foundation. This groundwork makes our spiritual ascent steady and sustainable, leading us toward perpetual meditative awareness.
Through dedicated Sunyoga practice, we transcend personal barriers, fostering inner peace, harmony, and brotherhood. Each day brings us closer to self-realisation, equipping us with the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. In the Sun’s radiant light, we find illumination and the profound purpose of our existence.
Sunyoga basic principles
Before delving into Sunit’s, it’s crucial to lay a solid foundation by embracing key principles that purify the mind and enhance concentration through meditation. These principles, elucidated through the first three steps of the eightfold path of Yoga – Yama, Nyama, and Asana – form the bedrock of spiritual practice.
Yama, the cornerstone of Yoga, marks the inception of the seeker’s joints. It’s a stage of introspection where fundamental questions” like “Who” am I?” and “What is the purpose of”life?” are pondered. Here, one formulates a life plan, aligning one’s aspirations with one’s inner calling and surrendering to a higher purpose.
With a plan in place, Nyama ushers in the phase of execution. Discipline and punctuality become paramount as the seeker navigates challenges with unwavering resolve. The strength of the foundation laid in Yama determines the ease of implementation in Nyama, underscoring the importance of clarity and commitment.
Asana, the third step, emphasises cultivating correct posture and attitude. Central to this practice is maintaining a straight and relaxed spine, allowing the free flow of divine energy through the body’s energy channels. With the spine aligned, the seeker is poised to meditate, with postures like Padmasana, Siddhasana, and Gomukasana serving as effective conduits for spiritual exploration.
By adhering to these foundational principles, seekers prepare themselves for the profound journey of Sunyoga, where the Sun’s radiant light illuminates the path to spiritual awakening and inner transformation.
Ancient Sunyoga techniques
Sunyoga, once widely understood, has seen its spiritual essence diluted over time by evolving belief systems. As elucidated by Manly P. Ha”l in “The Secret Teachings of All”Ages,” ancient religions perceived the visible Sun not as the primary source of power but rather as a reflector of the invisible spiritual Sun – the genuine wellspring of life, light, and truth.
Developed by Sunyogi Umasankar under the divine grace of Mahavatar Babaji, Sunyoga represents a modern adaptation to contemporary culture and society. Worshipping the Sun, seen as the ultimate visible embodiment of spiritual energy, is a natural progression for cultures that recognise its significance on the path toward enlightenment. Human instinct gravitates toward honouring the Sun as the giver of life, reflecting our innate reverence for its radiant energy.
Over time, teachings evolve, influenced by changes in language, symbolism, and cultural contexts, potentially leading to misunderstandings. Enlightened gurus play a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of these teachings, guiding seekers to uncover the genuine wisdom hidden within. Across continents, various forms of Sun Gazing or Sun worship have been practised, each reflehumanity’s deep-seated connection to the Sun’s spiritual symbolism.
Looking back thousands of years, before the advent of formal religions, human societies operated within an intuitive framework, incorporating all aspects of life into a unified continuum. This holistic worldview recognised the Sun as the closest gateway to heaven, symbolising the highest embodiment of spiritual enlightenment on the physical plane. It was an era where humanity revered the Sun as the source of life and identified themselves as the children of the Sun, dwelling in paradisiacal harmony with its divine light.
