Paramahansa Yogananda: The physical and spiritual rewards of fasting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- No food gives strength, no change of air invigorates, nothing can restore energy to the body when its life force begins to diminish. Fasting gives rest to the overworked organs, the bodily engines; and also to the life force itself, relieving it of extra work. When you cease to make the life force feel it has to depend for its existence on external sources-food, water, oxygen, sunshine-it becomes self-supporting, independent. The more you concentrate on the palate, the more disease you will have. To enjoy food is all right, but to be a slave to it is the bane of life. Why should you let nature hurt you? Nature cannot punish you if you are not attached to the body or bound by food. You must recognize that life force is the sustainer of the body.

THE SRF LESSONS
The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters - Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda - and available to you.
The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul-to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him-provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.
From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately.
While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.

I lived in Boston a couple of times... where Guruji Yoganananda did for a couple of years when he first came to USA. I used to go to cathedrals all over the city and I would be the only one there and meditate and pray and commune with Paramahansa
Many are call, few are chosen.
How blessed
blessed
Superb
so were you meditating with Yogananda in the cathedrals physically? or were you doing samyama on him while you were in the cathedrals?..
My best advice for anyone who wants to fast and not suffer, first, detox all processed foods for a week, the second week only consume proteins and whole carbs such as fruit (otherwise, no carbs). The third week, begin a one day fast, then eat low carb for a day and back to fasting… and when you’re ready, go for 2 days then 3. When you break a fast, al ata do it slowly and with gentle foods, such an unsweetened yogurt and berries. Then have more in about 1-2 hours. You will get very sick if you do not first train your body so please know that if you do experience that, it’s only because your body is in shock. So easy does it 🙏
Thank you! ❤
I must write this down so to remember it.
Fasting enhances telepathy, psychic and higher sensations, was my experience...
You need to go to the assylum.😠.
@@mohanlalrampersad490 THANK YOU Oh Great One- would rather
be Mad then a Troll like you, Mr. Normal. Go there and learn spelling...
@@mohanlalrampersad490 he’s right. Meditation for 10 days straight is great. Meditation for 10 days without food will take you to crazy places
@@Westcoastrocksduh thank you. That's what I said. Go to the assylum.😀
@@Westcoastrocksduh when you want spiritual experience you go to the liquor store. 😁😂😃
A 3 day fast is incredibly life affirming. My experience was that by the 3rd day my sense of well-being was hightened like I have never felt previously, and even regretted having to break it the following day.
Hi Andre, dis you avoid the food for all three days
Hi.Firstly good for you👍💎😎.Did you eat anything at all,I guess you drank water?
Thanks
3 days means continuously or you fast for certain few hours every day?
@@geshan777when someone says they fasted for 5 days, they literally mean no food for that time (always lots of water tho). Otherwise it’s not fasting, it’s intermittent fasting. Which is also good but not as powerful.
72 hours, water, black tea and coffee, obviously no milk or sugar. Feeling amazing 😊 zero food, juice etc. Obviously
Greatly appreciate your clarity of diction, causing excellent listening experience. Thank you🙏
🙏🙏🙏 Keep Sharing this knowledge and Information from Yogananda. This World 🌎 NEEDS it !!! 💜💜💜♾️📐📐📐
Thank you so much for sharing/reading Our Divine Masters words!!
We appreciate your Wisdom of Yogananda UA-cam Channel!!
I’ve been avoiding this particular video because -well, my mind and fasting. But, I learned sooo much about why I should fast and the benefits of fasting in this video.
I always learn so much from Paramahansa Yogananda my Guru, through the Lessons of SRF and all of Yoganandas’ books.
Thank you soooo much Wisdom of Yogananda UA-cam Channel for your time and effort to make this information available, as it comes directly from Yogananda through his books, available through your Channel for the world to hear and access!!

It helps, but yes beware and be careful. ❤Go(d) easy on your self.
i often care about eating, i have no insulina, no alfa celles and as insulina dependant i will die without having solved this sugar control : i dont know, life is life. thanks for your comment. Didier 🎶
@@didierchenet don't fast you cant
@@didierchenet ... there are exceptions. The diet required of you is already a partial fasting of sorts - a fasting that you carry out day after day over a lifetime. This is a tremendous sadhana you have been given already. Blessings to you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !
Thank you Master 🙏🎉
❤ Danke

I fasted due to no money I did not miss food a ten ton tree does not leave a ten ton hole in the earth all nourishing is God
I fast 2 days a week at this point fasting has become easy
♾☮️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
It’s there in Hinduism 5000 years before about the benefits of fasting
He was been holly man .
So juice fasting not water fasting??
What about diabetics?
Dr Jason fong has a lot of info about fasting and diabetes
I am wodering why paramahansa yogananda was looking so obese? I'm not asking out of malice, I just would like to understand.
When he was a boy he was uncomfortably skinny. He wanted to put on weight and tried various material things such as tonics but did not get the results he sought.
Many people who lived with him thought he had the most beautiful face and body.
Why orange juice tho? It has a ton of sugar in it!
I get this emergency-c stuff that has vitamins c and b vitamins and u put it in a glass of water.
Not everything has to make sense to you... or be "the best" solution
There are many ways to fast. Taking juice is but one. Water only is the most simple fast, but may be difficult for some. A juice fast, or watered down juice fast, may be easier for those people. My Japanese sensei (teacher), conducts one week fasts of one small grain and vegetable meal per day (a half-fast). This is chewed 200 times per mouthful - with exceptional results. Chewing is a forgotten healing art (Guruji advised us to chew more for health in one of his talks). In any case, cutting down on our intake, if we are prone to excessive eating, can only be beneficial.
Try lemon water with maple syrup...
Better drink Hydrogen rich water 💦 for energise ur self .. I do this regularly DM me will give the information..
I stopped listening at that point. filling the body with fructose isn't fasting.
Fasting on orange juice🤭. People..who made this video. You know nothing..
My wild guess is that you know everything 🤣
„Playmoments” , first of all you are coward because you blocked me to answer. Also , clearly means you have never done it before. Orange juice and fasting😂.
@@underwaterpassion if that’s true, I’m not aware of blocking anyone. So, please I’d hold calling others names.
On my end, I should have avoided that joke that obviously was interpreted as a bad sarcasm that has triggered your response.
I’m here, and able to share with you knowledge and wisdom if you would allow. I have done from extended & intermittent to water-only, dry, juice fasting for over 6 years now. I can help.
@@playmoments4672hi, I just couldn’t answer under your name so I thought you have blocked me.
I do fasting and intermittent fasting since 1,5 year and as we BOTH know, fasting on the orange juice is not fasting. This can be called : detox , but not fasting because orange juice is sugar = insuline production and that means no autophagy. Sugar = insuline = no ketogenic state of the body.
@@underwaterpassion thanks for answering.
In my experience anything you ingest different from water starts insulin production, which puts you out of fasting negating all the rest (autophagy, etc).
But you can still keep yourself in ketogenic state even after insulin is ON if you manage to be very low carb. Proteins or fats start insulin production too.
In advanced stages of prolonged fasting I’ve noticed that I remain “keto-adapted” after eating certain amount of carbs. Here I can include fruits like oranges, or whatever that also includes fructose.
In other words, body has become so adapted that it would require a lot of juice , processed food or crap at higher frequencies to not snap back
There’s so much intelligence inside us and homeostasis is very underestimated.
Purpose of life is to live for free at whatever cost फ्रीलाइफ can be lived murdering goddesses to gain wealthy luxurious life that was your purpose wait till you get stripped of all your powers and get thrown into filthiest lives
I fasted due to no money I did not miss food a ten ton tree does not leave a ten ton hole in the earth all nourishing is God
You expect anyone to see his pic in the thumbnail and believe he fasted or lived a healthy lifestyle?
I admit I thought the same
You have zero idea what you're talking about lmao
Bruh we don't need this kind of judgment here. If you think body shaming is okay and choose to judge people through what you only see you don't belong on this page...
@@Theotheadoro cool
