Daily Yog, Yagya and Gayatri (Pragya Yog Flyer)

Check out our **new** Daily Pragya Yog Routine(link) for Daily Dose of "Super Intelligence"

General Preconditions: Yog should be done with empty stomach & clean nose, mouth and washed face. Before starting Yagya or Gayatri, for better receptivity, take a palm full of water and sprinkle it all over the body with one Gayatri mantra. Also drink 3 sips of water with Aum Bhuhu, Aum Bhuvah and Aum Swaha to condition from inside. Also check out our reference books here.

  1. Yog: Daily Exercise for your body : Do one Pragya Yog and one Surya Namaskar - stretching and holding each pose, as best as you can, upto a minute or two. Allow natural breathing while holding in a pose. If doing in holding pattern is hard, you can as well do 12 Pragya Yogs and 12 Surya Namaskars, one for each word of the gayatri mantra, as in the table below.
  2. Yagya: Daily Immunity Boost for your home : Do 13 mins Yagya - morning or evening.
  3. Gayatri: Daily dose of life energy : Do 15 mins to 1 hr chanting of Gayatri Mantra following the below procedure.
  1. Light a lamp. Sit in front of it with closed eyes and straight back in Vajrasan or Sukhasan (Alternate between both for avoiding leg numbing situation). You can also do the same facing the Sun.
  2. Hold a mala/rosery in right hand and keep left hand in the lap with Gyan(Knowledge) Mudra, in a relaxed fashion.
  3. Use Tulasi(Basil) or Reguar Sandle wood(Not red sandlewood) mala of 108 beads.
  4. While rotating the mala, use thumb, middle and ring fingers. Avoid index and pinky thouching the mala.
  5. Do Gayatri Mantra chanting in continuous repeated fashion during the Mala/rosery, one chant for each bead. Allow breathing from your nose and mouth to facilitate uninterupted chanting. An optimal pace would be 3 seconds per mantra, 5 minutes per Mala and 1 hour for 12 malas.
  6. On completion of one mala, touch Sumeru to both eyes and forehead and follow beads in reverse order. Keep traversing beads forward and reverse w/o crossing Sumeru/center bead.
  7. Chant the mantra in a low tone, as a gentle whisper or murmer with movement of tougue, lips and jaws. At the same time, inhale/exhale directing life enegy(Prana) and light into different chakras, one mala per chakra.
  8. Entire existance is a manifestation of the Sun Energy. Gayatri Stavan is a beautiful prayer addressing the Sun energy as the provider of the 12 virtues, with an appeal to purify/heal us with those. Gayatri Mantra has such 12 words. Gayatri Aarati has 12 such stanzas. Human body has 6 chakras driving spiritual and material excellence(6x2). The table below relates them all. It also connect them to 12 Gayatri picture illustrations & 12 Pragya Yog poses.
    Pick a combination that gives you the best meditative experience, and do one mala for each of the 12. Experience the light, energy and inspiration from the Sun refining/illiminating your entire existance(mind, body and heart). If you like focusing on chakras, try to chant in a manner/sound pitch that gives maximum sensation at the corresponding chakra. Visualize that the chakra is being purified, energized and awakened by the Sun energy & spinning like a tornado.
  9. You can do 12 malas in one sitting of 1 hr or two sittings of 30 min each. Best times are morning, noon and evening. Shorter alternatives such as 15 min chanting or 3/5/10 malas are listed below the table.
