Patanjali Yoga
Sutras: Satsang. Paramahamsa Nithyananda says, “Don’t add movements to
your life, add life to your movements.” That is yoga. Patanjali is a
great sage and inner world scientist from ancient India. He was the
first person to systematize the oral yogic tradition and encode it in a
concise form called Yoga Sutras, roughly over 2,000 years ago. Through
these talks, he enables the flowering of yoga in you, so you can see a
visible change in your very postures, ethical discipline and sensory
perceptions. Program broadcast live from India, conducted by Paramahamsa
Nithyananda. Organized by Life Bliss Foundation. Daily, 8-9:30 p.m.

eN-Kriya for Kundalini Awakening.
eN-kriya is a 42-minute process involving intense pranayama (breathing
techniques), mudras (yogic hand gestures), asanas (yoga poses), and
meditations. At the individual level, one experiences: physical health
and healing, emotional well-being, spiritual ripening through kundalini
awakening, Levitation and high state of awareness. En-kriya doesn’t
contain any religious rituals or beliefs and it doesn’t matter who you
follow. It just deals with breath. Every human being whether one
believes in god or not is eligible to practice eN-kriya process.
