For those who practice forcefully, in a very intense way, the skill of yoga will be achieved very soon.
Jai Shri Krishna
Om Yogi Madhvacharya Namah
Whereas before the emphasis of the daily practice was on the PM, it has now shifted to the AM.
Do you experience joy only by thinking about the coming practice in the morning, as I do?
Do you look forward to it as the most important thing each day, as I do?
Is there something else competing in the material world with the Kundalini Yoga practice? What is it? Is it family or friends? Going to the movies? Enjoying food? Traveling?
Brahma-Muhurta is that sacred time from 4 AM to 6 AM where the Yogin (Yogini) is alone with his/her practice.
In the Uttara Gita (Mahabharata), Arjuna asked Kesava:
1- 38. All the letters has long and short metrical sound, they are also joined by the Bindu (anusvara-point), and the latter, when dis-joined, merges itself into the Naad...but where does the Naad merge?
Shri Bhagavan said:
1- 39 & 40. Light exists in the voice of the ceaseless Sound (Naad), and Manas (thought) in that light, the space where the Manas disappears (merges in itself) is the Supreme Foot of Vishnu. Aiming at the Unknowable, where the sound of the Pranava (Naad), led-up on high by the Life-Air, disappears, that space is called the Supreme Foot of Vishnu.
Arjuna asked:
1- 41. Tell me, O Kesava, when the Life-Breath (Prana) leaves the body of five elements, and the tenement itself is again reduced to them (the elements), where do the virtue and vice of the man go, and who do they accompany?
Shri Bhagavan said:
1- 42 & 43. The destiny produced by the result of virtue and vice, the essence of the 5 Bhutas, the mind (lower mind), the 5 senses, and the controlling devatas of the 5 organs of karma (karmendriyas), all these by reason of the ahamkara (personality, sense of I) of the mind, accompany the Jiva (person) as long as it remains ignorant of the knowledge of the Tattvas.
