AuroYajna continues the series of workshops titled "Towards Self Perfection” started in July 2021 as their first step towards Divine Life in Divine Body.

This series is based on Sri Aurobindo's message - "Divine Life cannot manifest without the Divine Body".

Part 1 of the series is "Perfection of the Body".

To have the body as a perfect instrument, every system of the body, viz. the digestive system, the neurological system, the cardiovascular system, and each body organ needs to be perfected and in harmony amongst themselves. 

This month AuroYajna is concentrating on the sensory organs of the body and hence this month it is “Yoga for Sensory Organs - Indriyas”.

The indriyas include the manas (sensory or processing mind), the five karmendriyas (means of expression, action or senses) and the five jnanendriyas (wisdom or knowing senses). The manas is affected by what it perceives through the indriyas.

Jnanendriyas are the five lower sense organs, referred to as ears (shotra), eyes (chakshu), nose (grahnu), tongue (jivha) and skin (tvak).

Karmendriyas are the organs that interact with the material world. The feet (pada) move, the hands (pani) grasp and hold, the rectum (payu) eliminates, the genitals (upastha) procreate and the mouth (vak) speaks.

With the structured Yogic practices viz., Asan, Pranayam, Relaxation the sensory organs not only remain healthy but also helps the aspirants to go deeper within by working on the connectivity between the indriyas-sensory organs and manas-mind.

Q:  Is every sense organ connected, like the eye, with an inner centre?

Yes. After all, the distinctions we make between mental, vital and physical are not quite true: they are not separate parts — they are all one. And I think the Vedic Rishis found out a great truth when they spoke of the Sun in the physical as one with the highest Sun. After all, the physical is as much a manifestation of the Higher Force as anything else and I do not understand why we should not expect in it similar powers.

I had myself a remarkable experience of the psychic sight. I was at Baroda; my psychic sight was not fully developed and I was trying to develop it by dwelling upon the after-image and also by attending to the interval between wakefulness and sleep. Then I saw this round circle of light and when I began praṇayama it became very much intensified.
