quality of our output depends upon our
physical and mental fitness. And
Brahmavidya, an ancient system of yoga
and philosophy, teaching Spiritual
Breathing Exercises and Meditation,
helps us effectively in this direction.
Our fitness depends upon many fac-
tors, but it is vitally dependant upon our
breath. An average person uses only 10
per cent of his lungs capacity. Though we
are breathing right from our birth, no-
body has ever taught us the correct way
to breathe. We dont even consider that it
is necessary to train ourselves to breathe
correctly, as breath comes to us without
any effort. Simple but effective Spiritual
Breathing Exercises improve our lungs
capacity and purify our body.
Like breathing, we are continuously
thinking. But what about the quality of
our thoughts? Our thoughts good, true,
wrong, indifferent or neutral govern
our actions. They can take us to a peak or
leave us in an abyss. Simple techniques of
Meditation are taught in a Basic Course
of this ancient system. With regular prac-
Exercises & Meditation have been found
useful to get rid of asthma and other
breathing problems, high blood pressure,
spondilitis, back ache, joint pain, insom-
nia, depression and other ailments.
Brahmavidya is the science of life
teaching human beings the Spiritual
Laws of Life. Daily practice of 40 minutes
can show excellent results. Students en-
joy better physical and mental health and
they lead a happier and more successful
life.
