Sudarshan Kriya Course - Day 4

I should have written this blog entry some time back. That time I got busy with some things and thought that this would be again repeating the great experience. Now I realised that the series should not be incomplete.

For those who want to read previous related entries : Day 1, Day 2, Day 3

The fourth day of the course started with some warm up exercises and yogasanas. Then we had a brief knowledge session. The knowledge session started with asking answers for 3 home work questions asked on day 3:

• When have you come to this planet?
• How long you propose to stay here?
• What do you intend to do in the time you stay here?

These were probably very tough questions for me. I could not answer these questions and was not convinced by the answers given. Hence the answers to these questions are still in search.

After this we all did Ujjayi Pranayama and Bhastrika Pranayama in Vajrasana. These were the prerequisites for Sudarshan Kriya. On fourth day they taught us the short version of sudarshan kriya. This was also a good experience. I should agree that I felt that short kriya was not as amazing as the long kriya on that day and was little disappointed. This is something that was taught so that we can practice daily. The long kriya has to be performed with Guruji's voice only and it should be performed only once per week under a guru. On fourth day we basically practiced what should be performed daily.
