- Paramahamsa Prajnanananda is a God realized master and a world renowned teacher of Kriya Yoga. He represents an ancient and unbroken lineage of Kriya Yoga masters that include such spiritual stalwarts like Mahavatar Babaji, Yogiraj Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahashaya, Swami Shriyukteshwar Giri, Shri Bhupendranath Sanyal Mahashaya, Paramahamsa Yogananda the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, Swami Satyananda Giri, and Paramahamsa Hariharananda. This video is taken from a class on the Yoga Sutra of Sage Patanjali that Paramahamsaji was conducting for the Residential Brahmachari Training Course held in the ashram in Balighai, near Puri, in India. Here the Paramahamsa yogi teaches how to convert ordinary sleep into Yoganidra - or the Yogi's sleep. He explains that Yogis can watch that they are sleeping and in a few minutes of this practice can get the relaxation of few hours of normal sleep. Prajnananandaji then highlights the steps to practice this. Please visit www.kriya.org to learn more about the Guru and his lineage, and also about his mission.
Yoganidra steps for conscious sleep
•Shower before bed or at least up to the hips
•Place of sleep should be clean and well ventilated
•Sleep surface neither too hard or too soft
•Meditate a little before lying down
•Feel that the body is body of light
• Bring concentration to your own feet, internally say to self 'I am not that, I am not the feet'
• Continue this for each part of the body slowly up to the head, simultaneously observing the breath
•When you get to the top internally say
'I am consciousness'
'I am love'
'I am child of God'
'I am sleeping on the lap of my Divine Mother'
'Sleep is Divinity'
•Be the witness that you are sleeping
•Focus on the light on top of the head/forehead
•Then gone 💤💤💤
•Wake up with watching the breath 🌬️👀
Thank you! It's hard to understand what he's speaking because of his accent. Your list helped a lot.
Thank you for the detailed steps.
So deep
So loving
@@Amelia_PC you can turn on subtitles
@@signaturespecialist Thanks! I've done it before but the auto caption don't understand him as well XD There are so many bizarre words appearing in the subtitles that I gave up on it.
The video is still good :)
My beloved master, Prajanananda Gi, I hope you remember me from Greece? 🇬🇷 Isabel is still alive and think of you often 🙏🏼Your humbled disciple Isabel 🙏🏼 I bow for 🛐🏵️🌹🪷Do you remember our cooking in my house in Greece?🙏🏼 I wish to meet you on e again dearly 🙏🏼🪷
Thank you guruji for keeping Jesus Christ making with other gurus, I’m not a practitioner of Christ principles, however he was seen by babaji Maha avatar, Rama Krishna yogananada ji etc … few ignorant people have issues, they should first cleanse their Hearts then they realize all master carry same essence in their hearts
thank u master...
these are very true words...I tried it with myself and it really works only u have to do everything with full devotion..u will see the results
🌺🌺Jai Guru
Very interesting. I use to practice yoga nidra when I go to bed. It helps me to relax and I noticed that with one guided yoga nidra meditation that goes in 9 minutes through 61 boddy points, it improves greatly my concentration. Sankalpa (intention /affirmation) is also great in yoga nidra and reminds of Yogananda's teachings in this matter. What Paramahamsa Prajnananda teaches us here is totally new to me. I'll try it
Does it help you to reduce the sleeping hours
Thank you so much swami ji. I am blessed to be enlightened by you.
Really? Are u really enlightened??
Jai Guru
For me, your Magnetism has called for me to mention it each time I watch your videos.
Your essence indicates the spirit of understanding without judgement, humor within the spirit of harmony never inducing human suffering, and edification with every breath.
I have had an occurrence, one time only within this incarnation at least, where I have maintained Consciousness and my conscious awareness before during and after sleep. Very invigorating experience. Om Namah Shivaya
Wonderful technique to practise! Many thanks. In a related subject, I'd like to hear Guruji speak about how to work with our dreams for self-analysis.
Thank you so much for this video, with practical steps to be followed as suggested by Master .
This really helps a lot to so many...
These kind of practical tips are highly needed.
Thanks again 🙏
Thank you Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, I try it. On the day my exercise is the same. Becoming conscious in the body. So my inner being is able to bring light to each cell. Then I am conscious in the heart center.
Yoga nidra is very very good ; Love-Peace swamiji
I believe I did this accidentally a few days ago. I was meditating in bed and sitting completely in the self (atman) and then while my body fell asleep, I seemed to be hovering slightly over it and was completely aware. I could hear the body snoring and could also clearly see the room around me. This continued until I became bored or restless, then the body awoke and I was back "in it". Thanks for explaining this. I believe Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi also did this regularly.
Yess u are right my brother
once while meditating i just saw my body infront and my atman was like hovering from behind watching everything in my room
for around 4 second
i had many spiritual experience before and after that
its such a bliss u felt that my brother
You had an experience 🕉 congrats but don't forget to practice kriya yoga to have more advanced experiences
@@redpillmatrix3046 how do you do kriya yoga?

JAI GURU DEV
Jay jagannath 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Guruji , Accept my Bhumistha Pranam at your holy feet . Can you accept me as a sannyasi ? Gurudev , you had initiated me before 3 yrs at your Ashram , BALIGHAI . Can you accept me as a sannyasi ? 🙏
You will need to speak to Guruji directly about this. Pranam
@@KriyaYogaInternational Thank you . 🙏

There are many videos on this channel which talk about the knowledge of Kriya Yoga. One of the most viewed one is “The Authentic and Original Kriya Yoga of Babaji, Lahiri Baba, Shriyukteshwarji and Yoganandaji”. Please watch that video or other videos. Pranam
Thank you 🙏
Can someone please tell me where the flute music at the end of the video is from?
It was a private recording for Guruji’s video. It is not available anywhere else

Is this basically the same as LUCID DREAMING?
Yes
No
Lucid dreaming is still a hallucinations.
@@vedantkene5167 loool
@@vedantkene5167 every realm is an illusion anyway 😅, but being lucid is a small step further into understanding your true nature.
Hari om baba. I want to get initiated by all yoga masters ( kriya yoga by yogananda, kriya yoga by swami satyaananda saraswati, and also by sadhguru ).
As a student I ask is this ok, to get initiated by different masters and practice yoga.
Hari om tat sat
Gurudev pranam
What to do if some particular thought is not letting you sleep.
I am no guru, but deep breathing and having a perspective that the thought bothering you is maya (ya devi Sarva buteshu maya rupena samsthits) and you pay your respects to the divine in the form of mays, instead of fighting that thought, it greatly helps. You are in peace with the thought and be able to think beyond it
The fun fact Jesus wasn't a Christian himself 😂
❤
🙏🙏
Swamiji can be given proverbs in Hindi or Bengali? Then the advantage is.
Guruji I would like to be initiated by you
Om

Hi

Having a shower just before bedtime helps me

He is not a Christian, is he?
No he just has the Lord's picture there he's a hindu like me
The only video i found useful
That means you didn't understand the rest. Or you don't practice yoga.
Why the dress ?
Who's photo is that? Is Jesus?
Is that jesus 😳

None of you have a single clue of what kind of hell you would be put through when receiving a gurus or gods "blessing". I am going through kundalini awakening, and these gurus and all their books glorify and completely sugar coat how much u will be brutalised by god, gurus, shiva and shakti...dont ever ask or want for a gurus or gods etc blessings unless u fully understand what that actuslly means....i guaruntee your not ready for it. the pain will be that awful you wish persistently wish u were dead
It's like an men from past appearing now in our society. It'll be hard to survive. Stepping from Maya to God is a big difference
Who dislike this is the baddest and foolest person is the world. Listen to Gurudev always. 🤯
With respect, it’s unlikely that Jesus was a Self Realized Master. And academics are quite clear that he was brown skinned, and not a Californian supermodel. Why does Kriya Yoga validate this kind of new age Ascended Masters narrative?
My humble request....Lord Jesus is divine...but had nothing to do with Yoga or Indian culture. With folded hands I submit to you - please don't confuse Hindu culture with Christianity. If you feel he was a Yogi, then please put pictures of Guru Nanak Dev, Prophet Mohammed, Gautam Buddha, Mahavir ji, as well, who were also Divine Yogis. My humble request - missionaries have done a lot of harm to both Hinduism and to Christianity. Don't peddle their message. Om Namah Shivay
You won't understand.. Please Read autobiography of yogi. And please stop watching news channels. 🙏🙏
@@ScrorpionBlood and you may begin by stopping to be presumptuous - all the books cannot fashion a mind that is darkened by presumption. Preach less, do more.
If you can accept prophet Mohammed as Yogi why can't you be open to the thought that Jesus was also yogi (in the sense of being in god consciousness seen with the love, knowledge he expressed)
@@Bhaanufinland I am not qualified to say who was or was not a Yogi. Please read my comment properly - I am saying we don't need to use mythological/religious figures from other religions (in this case, Christianity), Sanatan Dharma is rich enough to use our own symbology and figures.
The point is there and you are missing it completely my brother, It's not about preaching and presumptions... I am not anyone to preach a enlightened mind like you..
What I am saying is all the text of our sanatana dharma(upanishad) or basically philosophy of yoga finally boils down to one thing that there is one superconscious element that is... And we are far minute than that. So instead of fighting over which figure to put is irrelevant, if you are so into sanatana dharma then all these trivial thing should not bother you much.
Take the crux out of the teaching or philosophy and stop making these issues a topic to debate overr.
Conscious sleep ... Take a load of amphetamines and you'll have concious sleep for weeks
Jesus and Muhammed arnt yogis lol😅
Jesus was…
