Yogis can be classified into three categories. Mandha Yogis - those who have experienced oneness, but are not able to keep it up all the time. His perception is not always the same. Madhyama Yogis - for them, the dimensions of the beyond are constantly in perception, but they are unable to manage the physical dimension in which they exist. Uttama Yogis - they are constantly in perception of the ultimate, and also perfectly in tune with the outside world.

What is Shambhavi Mahamudra?
Because of the modern lifestyle, we have an overload, an over-stimulation of the senses. This is making your energy dissipate in reaction to all these inputs. Shambavi Mahamudra, locks your energies, and divert them in a completely different direction - turn it around in a way that instead of a loss, there is a gain. There is also medical evidence of the benefits. The cortisol awakening response, and brain derived neurotropic factors show significant increase. The inflammatory markers greatly improve; and after 90 days of practice the DNA shows that you are 6.4 years younger! Most significant aspect about Shambhavi is that people become very peaceful, pleasant, and at the same time their brain activity goes up.

What is Sanatana Dharma? Is it Relevant Today?
Sanatana means eternal, and Dharma means law. Sanatana Dharma are the fundamental laws that govern existence, it is an Existential Dharma. Dharma does not mean religion. So Sanatana Dharam is looking at underlying laws of existence for your life to happen in the best possible way. Sanatana Dharama is not Hindu; wherever you are whether you are Indian, Hindu or non-Hindu, it applies to everyone - because these are the basic laws of life. In this blog Sadhguru also elaborates on what is Smriti (Memory) and what is Shruti (tune of life), and also the meaning of the word Bharata.

Are you confused about Spritual path not leading you anywhere?
People get confused that spiritual path is a way to get to some particular place. Sadhguru clears this confusion and explains that spiritual path is about seeking existential reality and getting away from mind projections. It is not about good or bad either, as that is a matter of one's exposure and culture and nothing to do with reality. Spiritual path is understanding life they way it is devoid of any mind games and hallucinations.

What is Brahmcharya?
In this profound article, Sadhguru tells us what Brahmcharya really is. He says, Brahmcharya means to simply be life, to live the way you were born - alone. If you do not do anything - you are a Brahmchari. You do certain sadhana, so that you do not give in to the tendencies of the earth, the material that you have picked up - otherwise your life will become cyclical. These tendencies are not natural to you - it is like the tendencies of a vehicle you have gotten into, like the tendencies of your car. One takes on the path of Brahmcharya, to break this cyclical motion of life.

How to Recieve Guru’s Grace on Guru Purnima?
On Guru Purnima, the position of the moon and planets is such that it creates a receptivity in people to the guru. Traditionally, in India, to make the best use of it, people would stay out at night in the moonlight, along with their guru. This month is the best time to receive the Guru's Grace. With Grace, a person can enhance himself to another dimension of existence and capability. To enhance your receptivity, it is best that 'you do not do anything of your own, so that you become less of yourself'.

Did Buddhism Originate in Tibet?
Contrary to popular perception, Gautama Buddha mainly spent his time in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India. In fact, Buddhism became a religion only after he left. During his time, India, what was once very spiritual and turned ritualistic. He wanted to bring a transformation back to spiritual ways. In India, people saw him as one more Yogi. Outside India, these ideas were so fresh, that entire nations took upon Buddha's ways. Buddhism as was taught initially was for the monks, too dry. Over a period it absorbed a lot of Yogic and Tantric cultures. Padmasambava brought Buddhism to Tibet 1300 years ago; and weaved Bon religion prevalent in Tibet at that time with Buddhism. Later Tibetan Buddhism also absorbed elements of Kashmiri Shaivism, as the people moved further North into Tibet because of invasions.
