Hata yoga really can break limitations...I am not crazy

Aug 10
Father, it was heaty in Chennai but I slept. Wake up twice, once at 2.30 am, which is our local 5 am and then finally at 6.30 am. Did my guru pooja, shakti and abridged shambavi.

I had a fantastic chicken briyani which nearly brought tears to my eyes. This was my last meat meal for the next few days.

Now in ashram. In my room.

Alas, I am not crazy. Sadhguru is now saying Hata Yoga can have the power like BSP. I was laughing and crying so much when I did Hata.
I must focus on Hata.


Sadhguru
I used to conduct two or three-day programs in Hata Yoga. Just doing asanas, people would just burst out laughing and crying. It was like BSP. Most yogis just use a few simple postures to break the limitations of who they are. Hata Yoga means balance.

Balance does not mean sanity. If u want ur life to be exuberant, u need to have some madness in u. But if u become compulsively insane, u lost it. Perfectly logical stuff is sanity. Illogical stuff is insanity.

When we talk about balance, we are not talking about sanity, we are talking about finding that perch between sanity and insanity, that u can venture into this, u can adventure into that. Madness is an adventure; it is a most wonderful thing as long as it is in control.
This ability to venture and adventure into whatever u want at any moment will come to u if ur Muladhara is well established.

  2. Namaskaram,

    Sorry about posting in the wrong blog but this question should come under 'Samyama' as it is related to that.I am planning to attend samayama in 2013. Have heard that there is an interview during pre-samyama. What is this interview and what do they ask you?
