Gayatri Yoga is the highest Yoga from India. Gayatri Yoga helps the
practitioner conquer the mind,body and soul. The essential goal of
Gayatri Yoga is sitting in the Full Lotus Posture which is called the
Padmasana in Sanskrit or the Seshini Posture in Medu
Netcher/Hieroglyhics and using Japa Mala Rudraksha Beads chant the
Mata Gayatri Mantra 108 times in one sitting while meditating on Her.
Hinduism lost its strong original Feminine Spiritual Base when the
Aryans entered India from the North. Mata Gayatri or Mother Gayatri
represents the Soul of Bharat or India. The Gayatri Mantra is the
National Mantra and National Prayer of India. At the age of 7 Hindu
children are required to start saying the Gayatri Mantra daily at least
three times a day.
Gayatri Yoga accomplishes the true goal of Yoga which is often
misunderstood by the average westerner whether they are a
practitioner of "yoga" or not. According to Patanjali in his landmark
book The Yoga Sustras in speaking specifically about Raja Yoga, the
Yoga of the Mind:
"The restraint of the modifications of the mind - stuff is Yoga."
This means that if you can master a difficult Hatha Yoga posture and
your thoughts are not under your total control, it is not Yoga.
Why is Gayatri Yoga the Highest Yoga?
Yoga, which literally means "Union", is often translated as Union with
Spirit or a Higher Consciousness.
Shiva is the Deva/Spirit of Yoga from where all Yogas flow like the
Ganga river that flows from the top of his head. He is the MahaYogi, the
Great Yogi. He is the Destroyer under the name of Rudra completing the
Hindu Trinity of Brahma, the Creator and Vishnu, the Perserver. The
Gayatri Mantra honors all the Hindu Devas.The Gayatri Mantra,which
came out the mouth of Vishnu at the time of Creation, is:
Om
(The Creator)
Bhur, Bhuvu, Suvaha
( of the Physical World, Mental World, and Spirit World)
Tat Savitur Varenyaming
(The Supreme Being where all things come from who should be
worshipped)
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
(I meditate on the Light of your Divine Reality)
Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat
(Enlighten my Intellect)
The Gayatri Mantra is the completion of the mantra "Om". While saying
the Gayatri Mantra you should be understanding the meaning of each
word.
There are various types of Yogas. Hatha Yoga, the Yoga of body and
breath control, is the most popular Yoga in the West because westerns
like to see physical results and westerners, especially Americans, are
the most overweight people in the world and they like the physical
benefits of Hatha Yoga. Some of the other Yogas are:
1. Raja Yoga - The Yoga of the Mind
2. Kundalini Yoga - The Yoga of Internal Energy
3. Jnana Yoga - The Yoga of Knowledge
4. Karma Yoga - The Yoga of Right Action
5. Bhakti Yoga - The Yoga of Devotion
In the Ramayana, the greatest of all the Hindu epics, this question was
put to a gathering of yogis, gurus and other holy men:
"What is the Highest Yoga?"
The answer was Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of Devotion, because in Bhakti
Yoga you "unify" with the Spirit through devotional practices like
chanting. You may be accomplished in doing Hatha Yoga Postures but
if you give up your life today, your devotion to the Spirit matters more
than postures you use to do before you passed away. The true Bhakti
Yogi who spends his or her life in devotion to the Supreme Spirit is
more than willing to give up their life if need be. Gayatri Yoga, using the
greatest Mantra of India, keeps you in perpetual devotion of the Creator
while increasing your intellect. Many people ask the Spirit or the Creator
for many "thing" but rarely does someone pray to the Creator to help
make them wiser so that they themselves can achieve whatever goal
that they strive for.
Gayatri Yoga puts a protective shield around you and increases your
psychic powers called "kriyas" in Sanskrit. The Gayatri may be
considered as having three parts:
1. Praise of the Divine Spirit through the Sun. This is why the Hem -
Neter Amen - Ra, the Priests of Amen - Ra at the Temple of the White
and Gold Lotus use the Gayatri Mantra.
2. Meditation on the Divine Light of the Sun that comes from the
"Hidden" Power of the Sun.
3. Prayer that asks the Divine Power to make our minds stronger.
The connection between the Yogis of India and the Ancient Priests of
Kemet is obvious when you seriously study both spiritual systems
coupled with the fact that India and Africa where once one land mass.
When the Hem - Neter Amen - Ra chant the Gayatri Mantra they use
Berkaru Hesi or Chanting Beads which are called Rudraksha Beads.
Another name for Rudraksha Beads is the "Tears of Shiva".
The Gayatri Mantra will protect your body, make your intellect shine and
improve your power of speech. When you chant the Gayatri Mantra the
atmosphere around you will become visibly illumined.
At the Temple of the White and Gold Lotus we practice Hatha Yoga to
strengthen our bodies and mind specifically so that when do perform
Gayatri Yoga our Full Lotus Posture, called the "King of Postures", is
strong enough so that we can hold our bodies still and our minds
focused. . The other postures that we do must follow the Four Spinal
Positions that constitute the foundation of Hatha Yoga Postures:
1. The Spine must be Stretched
2. The Spine must be Twisted
3. The Spine must be Bent
4. The Spine must be Compressed
Most common exercises people do may stretch, twist or bend the spine
but most exercises do not compress the spine. The spine can be
compressed only with the body is upside down as in the Headstand
posture or the Shoulder Stand Posture in Hatha Yoga.

Pranayama or Breathing Exercises, are the most important of any
physical exercises you can do. Pranayama literally means "to
restrain or control the breath". Controlling your breath determines
how much acid you have in your body and your general overall
health. Have fast your breath dictates how long you will live
according to Yogi Ramaiah, scientist and yogi.
Breathe at: 30 Breaths per minute = Live up to 60 years of age
18 Breaths per minute = Live up to 96 years of age
15 Breaths per minute = Live up to 120 years of age
5 Breaths per minute = Live up to 360 years of age
1 Breath per minute = Live up to 1,800 years of age
Believe it or not there are yogis who are over thousands of years old
living on this planet! The most popular is Babaji born in 203.A.C.E
who still alive today.
The Gayatri Yoga meditation done a specific way will slow you
breath down to 4 breaths per minute. If you just chanted with the
