However donations and other givings are a part of Ashram Life. The Concept/Ideology Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism is the Concept which aroused out of eleven main Hindu texts - namely - Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Taittiriya, Aitaryeya, Chandogya, Brihadaranyaka and Savetashvatara Upnishadas. (Upnishadas meaning something learnt by hearing the sayings of the Gurus or the Learned Men and Women. Later on Bhagwat Gita written by Vyasa, came out as the digest of these above mentioned Upnishadas). In Atma Jyoti Ashram the concept of Om Yoga is emphasized from. Om Yoga is the way of freedom from suffering and limitation. Its a procedure of self awakening. For achieving this the concept of Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are used. Collectively, the Atma Jyoti that is the Light of the Spirit is awakened and Self Realization is achieved by concentrating on the SYLLABLE - OM, which is a supposed to contain the world of Brahma - the Creator of the Universe. The Syllable OM has as such no meaning in literal terms, but the positive effect which it has on the body and mind - physically and psychologically - is of utmost importance. The Entire Concept is on Meditation. The words and teachings of Upnishadas add to refine and enlighten the thought process of human beings. Meditation and its practice is the main object. The Concept of OM Yoga If you can sit Upright and sit cross legged for few minutes, then you have achieved the first level of Om Yoga. This is also the position of Meditation. And why do we insist upon sitting upright in Meditation - for two main reasons - that we don't fall asleep and secondly to facilitate the upward movement of the subtle life force called Prana. There should be no pain and only relaxation. For Cross legged sitting there are a number of postures recommended - Lotus, Padmasana, Siddhasana, Swastikasana and Sukhasana. Taking long breath while chanting ut OM several times, makes for the final stage of Meditation. Our Suggestions
