or heard around us in this universe contains Prana inside them. Prana
is the sum total of energy, alertness and consciousness. Prana is the
most subtle. Breath is the external appearance of Prana. We can control
subtle Prana after controlling physical Prana. It means by controlling
external, physical and visible Pranic capacity, subtle inner
consciousness can be controlled.<br>

of our body are connected with one another. The body is connected with
Prana, Prana with senses, senses with mind, and mind with intelligence.
Paramtattva is separate and not understandable by intelligence as it is
beyond it. There are no words. (Yato Vacho Nivartante Aprapya Manasa
Sah.) It can be obtained by continuous practice of Pranayama. It is not
physical so it is not sensible." <br>

"The Learned Swamiji, who is renowned in practicing & teaching Yoga
and Meditation says : Yoga is eternal life in the soul or spirit. It
transmutes a man into divinity. It brings a message of hope to the
forlorn, joy to the depressed, strength to the weak and knowledge to
the ignorant. Yoga way of Life brings happiness of sound mind in sound
body. Yogic living implies discriminative living. Yoga is equanimity,
equipoise or equilibrium. It is the secret master-key to open the
realms of eternal bliss and deep abiding peace" << <a

<p>"The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a
cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the
niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be
able to carry. It is entirely up to him."<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->

<p>"What is the nature of Guru's grace? It is beyond thought and
word. Then how can it be said that the devotee realises his true Being
by virtue of the Guru's grace? It is like the elephant which wakes up
on seeing a lion in its dream. Even as the elephant wakes up at the
mere sight of the lion, so too is it certain that the disciple wakes up
from the sleep of ignorance to the knowledge of Real. It is true and
certain." -<span style=""> Bhagwan Sri </span>Ramana Maharshi</p>
