Preparatory Steps

(1) Choose minimum 30 min. of free time (recommended time is 1.5 hours, where full Kriya process may take about 45 min. and another 45 min. for meditation) daily when your stomach is empty and mind is relaxed. Early morning before breakfast or after returning from work (and taking a shower) are best times.

(2) Stand on your feet, keeping your spine straight and chin little up. Place both your palms together (right palm on top of the left) on your naval

(3) Press your stomach/naval with hands and EXHALE completely & forcefully through your nose (mouth should be closed)

(4) Release your hands pressure on naval area, INHALE FULL through nose. Let the air go directly to your tummy area (not chest). The tummy will look like a balloon.

(5) Again press with your hands to EXHALE completely. And repeat the process.

(6) The INHALE will be little longer than EXHALE. Inhale & exhale will be in 3:2 ratio. If we inhale for 3 sec, exhale should only 2 sec long. In this way 1 cycle of inhale & exhale will be of (3+2 =) 5 sec. This is called stomach breathing (SB). Practice it few times, as normally we breathe through chest, not stomach

1.       108 Stomach Breathing (To enhance cellular vibrancy)

SB = Stomach Breathing

Normal SB #1 to 25: Do SB at 12 cycles per minute. That means each cycle (inhale + exhale) will be approx. 5 sec. Total 25 SB will take little more than 2 min.

Faster SB #26 to 50: Do SB at 18 cycles per minute. That means each cycle (inhale + exhale) will be approx. 3.33 sec. Total 25 SB will take about 1.5 min.

Very Fast SB #51 to 100: Do SB at 36 cycles per minute. That means each cycle (inhale + exhale) will be approx. 1.67 sec. Total 50 SB will take about 1.5 min.

Very Slow SB #101 to 108: Do SB at 6 cycles per minute. That means each cycle (inhale + exhale) will be approx. 10 sec. Total 8 SB will take about 1.5 min.

TOTAL 108 SB will take less than 7 minutes to complete. Be silent, close your eyes and feel the vibrations within your body for next few minutes.

2.       NIRMAL KRIYA: 49 Healing Breaths (to activate Chakras)

Pray to your own deity (who you follow and believe, if you are an atheist pray to your own soul / higher power) with pranam (put both palms together and let thumbs touch your forehead). Close your eyes and chant "OM" for 3 times. Then seat for Nirmal Kriya. Make sure your spinal chord is VERTICALLY STRAIGHT UP and face little up during Kriya. You can seat on the ground or on a chair, as you feel comfortable.

There will be total 7 cycles of 7 breaths (inhale & exhale) i.e., 49 healing breaths (49 HB). This 49 HB to be practiced each for 5 external mudras, to invoke panch prana. So there will be 5 sets of 49 HB = 245 breaths total.

SET-1: Keep your hands in Prana Mudra and start first cycle of 7 breaths (inhale & exhale) with internal mudras as mentioned below:

Relax for few minutes, keep your eyes closed and experience the energy (prana) within.

SET-2: Change hands to Apana Mudra, take 49 HB with internal mudras, relax for few minutes.

SET-3: Change hands to Samana Mudra, take 49 HB with internal mudras, relax for few minutes.

SET-4: Change hands to Udana Mudra, take 49 HB with internal mudras, relax for few minutes.

SET-5: Change hands to Vyana Mudra, take 49 HB with internal mudras, go into meditation.

External mudras and their respective hand positions (both hands w.r.t. body) are shown below:

HANDS POSITION

Panch Pranas - Various Mudras

Prana: next to shoulders

Apana: on the knees

Samana: in front of naval

Udana: next to shoulders

Vyana: in front of chest

3.       How to Meditate

After completion of “KRIYA” session i.e., 108 Stomach Breathing and/or 49 Healing Breaths it is recommended to go directly into Meditation.

Then seat in meditation keeping palms on your knees in “CHIN MUDRA” (pointing finger should touch tip of thumb forming a circle, other 3 fingers extended out, palm facing upside). Make sure your spinal chord is VERTICALLY STRAIGHT UP during meditation.

Meditation Method:

Observe your breathing at every moment, how it enters your body (inhale), when it makes a pause (turning point), then starts going out (exhale), at the end of exhalation stops again to return to inhalation, etc. Be aware exactly when the ‘turning point’ happens.

Be fully alert during meditation. Listen to all sounds around you (say noise of traffic, sound of a pump, birds chirping, etc. anything that you can catch), listen to any feeling within your body (say, something happening in stomach, sensation of cold/hot, etc.). Even at this mode you can hear/feel your own heart beat also.

Detach yourself from the thoughts passing through your mind. Be observer to your thoughts, rather than carried away with any thought. Observe with full attention to the thoughts without any judgment or labeling (whether the content of the thought is good, bad, important, embarrassing, etc.). You will realize under attentive watch the number of thoughts per minute is reducing. Then try to see where one thought ‘ends’. After the ‘end’ try to assess the ‘gap’ till a new thought ‘starts’ coming in. Now try to be aware of the ‘gaps’ only. Then in due course the ‘gap’ will start expanding, try to be in the ‘gap’ and enjoy “No thought state”.

Meditate as long as you enjoy and time permits. Start with 5 or 10 minutes each session and then try to gradually increase the time to 45 min or 1 hour. You may set an alarm clock if you like to. Purpose is to be in “No thought state” for min. 43 minutes which triggers “God Spot” in the brain. This is to be achieved only once in a life time (not daily). Thereafter it will be like a broad band connection with your “Inner Guru” / soul for 24 hours without any effort. Then all your actions will be guided by higher intelligence, not mind.

Once you like to come out of meditation. Pranam once again to your deity, to express gratitude & thankfulness. Rub your palms together, place them on your closed eyes for 10 sec., remove hands from your eyes and move them around your face and body (like what we do during bathing), slowly open your eyes, get up from your seat. That completes your meditation.

God Bless You !

How to perform Pitra Tarpan on Mahalaya

Every year during Mahalaya, the beginning of Devi Paksha, marks the end of the 16 days of the Shradh. During the 16 days the men in the family pay respect(sraddha) to their ancestors. On the last day we have Sarva Pitru Amavasya. In this day we pay pay respect to our ancestors by offering Tarpan.

Who can offer Tarpan?
A son has to perform tarpan for his ancestors after 1 year has passed his fathers sraddha(death), but in case the son is not present or unable to offer due to any reason a widow can offer tarpan to her husband and his ancestors.

Whom to offer Tarpan?
Tarpan is performed for people who have passed away. Tarpan is mainly performed for Pitrutrayi(Trio of Fathers) as beyond the trio is considered to be liberated. Tarpan is performed by offering ganga jal and til to father(Pita), grand father(Pitamaha), great grand father(Propitamaha), mother. Tarpan may be also offered to grand mother, great grand mother and in the name of all ancestors who have not been liberated. It may be also offered in the name of those who souls who have no son and wife to perform their tarpan. It can also be offered to Sages and Gods as a daily ritual but here we will be learning about Tarpan for Pitrutrayi and mother.

Though there are many ways we can offer Tarpan, I will share a very simple and minimal process and ask for blessings of our ancestors.

To perform Tarpan, we will need the following items:
1. Water
2. Ganga Jal
3. Black Til (Black Sesame)
4. Unprocessed Cow milk
5. Kusha (Dry halfa grass)
6. Durba (Grass twigs)

In a vessel mix water, ganga jal, til and cow milk. You may also add chandan paste and rice but only til and ganga jal is important. The quantity should be enough so that you can provide each of your ancestors you want to offer 3 times. In another vessel keep some ganga jal only for purification.

Purification:
Sit facing South. Immerse a kusha in ganga jal and purify the place by sprinkling ganga jal with the kusha in the place, also on your head with the purification mantra.

Om vishnu om vishnu om vishnu 

om apavitrah pavitro vā
sarvāvasthāṁ gato api vā
yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ
sa bahya abhyantaraṁ śuciḥ

namo śuciḥ namo śuciḥ namo śuciḥ
 

It means: Om, anyone pure or impure, under any conditions, is purified outwardly and inwardly by remembering pundarikaksha(another name for vishnu).

Ganesha:
Once the place is purified repeat Om Ganeshaye Namah 3 times and ask him mentally to help you complete the Tarpan successfully.

Invoke the spirits of your ancestors:
Repeating the mantra once ask your ancestors to come and offer them ganga jal.

 
Om Aagachchantu Me Pitar Emam Grihanantu Jalaanjalim.

If you have kosha kushi you can add durba, haritaki, tulsi, genda flower, ganga jal and drop it facing south.

Things to know:
For Brahmins who are having holy thread, there are 3 ways to wear it. Savya, Apasavya and Nivit. Savya is worn from the left shoulder and is worn when invoking gods, Apasavya from right while invoking ancestors and Nivit from the neck when invoking sages. Here we are invoking ancestors so we need to wear the holy thread from the right.

Tarpan for Father:
Tarpan to ancestors is done facing south. Hold a kusha in your hand perpendicularly to your fingers passing in between your thumb and hold it with the thumb so that it stays in place. Pour a spoon of the mix on your right and hand palm and repeat the mantra.

AmukGotrah AsmatPita AmukDevaSharma Vasuroopastripyatamidam Teelodakam Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.

AmukGotrah: Replace with your Gotra, for example "Sandilya Gotrashya"
AmukDevaSharma: Replace with your Father's name, for example Prasanta Deva Sharmana

The complete mantra should be:
Sandilya Gotrashya AsmatPita Prasanta Deva Sharmana  Vasuroopastripyatamidam Teelodakam Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.

After completion of the mantra slant your hand towards the right so that the tarpan mix flows out from between the thumb and the index finger. This is called Pitrutirtha.

Repeat the process 3 times.

Tarpan for Grand Father and Great Grand Father:
Replace AsmatPita with Asmatpitamah / Asmatpropitamah
Replace Vasuroopastripyatamidam with Rudraroopastripyatamidam (for grandfather only)
Replace AmukSharma with Grand Father’s Name

For example:

Sandilya Gotrashya AsmatPitamaha Gopal Chandra Deva Sharmana Rudraroopastripyatamidam Teelodakam Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.

Repeat the process 3 times for each.

Sandilya Gotrashya AsmatPropitamaha Makhan lal Deva Sharmana Vasuroopastripyatamidam Teelodakam Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.

Repeat the process 3 times.

Tarpan for Mother:
The mantra is
AmukGotraa Asmnamata AmukiDevi Gayatriroopa Tripyatamidam Teelodakam Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.
AmukGotraa: Your Gotra
AmukiDevi: Your mother's name followed by devi.

Repeat the process 3 times.

Most Important:
In case you are not comfortable with the Sanskrit mantras, you can say in your native language.
"I offer sesame and water for the happiness and liberation of my father <his name> tasmey swadha namah".

Here is a simple process explained in hindi:
