Is it possible to meditate for thousands of Years?

                                                 Yoga Technique from Ancient Indian Yoga

I would love to share with you the scientific way of meditation. Human life span is maximum 100 years. Than how could one meditate for such a very long time period? But Indian Scriptures have answer. There are a lot of stories of long meditation in Indian Scriptures. It means there is a way with which one can meditate for thousand thousands of years. In Indian Epic Ramayana, Mahabharata there are couple of events of such a very long meditation. It is mentioned in Ramayana Epic that Ravana did meditation for thousands of years, guru Vasishth did it, guru Vishwa Mitra also did the same. 

It means it is possible to meditate for thousands of years. Such a long meditation is known as “Tapasya.”Ravana Asura did tapas for a thousand years.  Vishwamitra did the tapasya for twelve thousand years. Worldwide, the average life span is 71 years. According to Indian Scriptures one can practice meditation for such a long period. Meditation is a bridge to contact your higher self. When it practices with proper method it would generate tremendous knowledge and tremendous power within you. In India great spiritual scientists discover different ways to meditate. Some ways are slow; some are moderate while some are special and very fast. 

I would love to introduce such a great way of meditation/Tapasya with the help of which you could be able to meditate for thousands of years. This way of yoga is known as aeroplanic way. 

This great way of practicing meditation is known as Kriya Yoga. Kriya Yoga is a comprehensive spiritual path that was brought to the West by Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Kriya also refers to the specific technique that is part of the spiritual path taught by Paramhansa Yogananda. 

Kriya Yoga is described by its practitioners as the ancient Yoga system revived in modern times by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya, c. 1861.

According to Yogananda the ancient Yogic text the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, contains a description of Kriya Yoga in the second chapter II 49 "Liberation can be attained by that pranayama which is accomplished by disjoining the course of inspiration and expiration.”

Kriya Yoga, as taught by Lahiri Mahasaya, is traditionally exclusively learned via the Guru-disciple relationship and the initiation consists of a secret ceremony.

As Yogananda describes Kriya Yoga, "The Kriya Yogi mentally directs his life energy to revolve, upward and downward, around the six spinal centers (medullary, cervical, dorsal, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses) which correspond to the twelve astral signs of the zodiac, the symbolic Cosmic Man. One half-minute of revolution of energy around the sensitive spinal cord of man effects subtle progress in his evolution; that half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment."

So as described by Paramhansa Yogananda ji half-minute of Kriya equals one year of natural spiritual unfoldment. It means if one practice it one hour daily it would be equal to 60 years of natural spiritual advancement.

One year regular practice of Kriya Yoga would be equal to 21900 years of natural spiritual advancement.

This is very secret yoga and can only be learned via the Guru-disciple relationship and the initiation consists of a secret ceremony.
