=================================================================================================== Tuesday 26, May 2026, 05:00. Books The Yoga System Chapter 8: Pranayama or Regulation of the Vital Energy: 2. The Yoga System - 8.2.  Swami Krishnananda. =================================================================================================== In the beginning stages of pranayama, there should be no retention of the breath, but only deep inhalation and exhalation. The prana has first to be brought to accept the conditions that are going to be imposed on it, and hence any attempt to practice retention should be avoided. In place of the quick breathing that we do daily, a slow breathing should be substituted, and instead of the usually shallow breathing, deep breathing should be practiced, gradually. Vexed minds breathe with an unsymmetrical flow. Submerged worries are likely to disturb pranayama. One may be doing one's functions like office-going, daily, and yet be calm in m...

Opinion               25/12/2017.                    1077                 All Members,          Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

6. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR POWER OF CONCENTRATION Concentration can be done only if you are free from all distractions. A man whose mind is filled with passion and all sorts of fantastic desires can hardly concentrate on any object even for a second. His mind will be jumping like an old monkey. Japa of any Mantra and Pranayama (breathing exercise) will steady the mind, remove tossing, and increase the power of concentration. Too much physical exertion, too much talking, too much eating, too much mixing with the opposite sex and undesirable persons, too much walking, will cause distraction of mind. Those who practise concentration must abandon these things. Whatever work you do, do with perfect concentration. Never leave the work without finishing it completely. When you sit for prayers and meditation, never think of your office work. When you work in the office, never think of the child who is sick or of any other household work. When you take bath, do no...
