At the past midnight, in a place where there are no sounds of any animal to be  heard, let the yogi practice puraka and kumbhaka, closing the ears by the hands.

He will hear then various internal sounds in his right ear. The first sound will be like that of crickets, then that of a lute, then that of a thunder, then that of a drum, then that of a beetle, then that of bells, then those of gougs of bell-metal, trumpets, kettles-drums, mridanga, military drums, and dundubhi, etc

Thus various sounds are cognized by daily practice of this Kumbhaka. Last of all is heard the Anahatha sound rising from the heart; of this sound there is a resonance, in that resonance there is a light. In that Light the mind should be immersed. When the mind is absorbed, then it reaches the Highest seat of Vishnu(Parama-pada). By success in this Bharaamaree Kumbhaka one gets success in samadhi.

TECHNIQUE
1.Close your ears with with hands and close your eyes and hum intensely.

2.Do this for 7 minutes

Note: 10-15 minutes after doing this kumbhaka one should eat something

Disease Description

Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger) and these conditions show up as the classical symptoms.
Diabetes can also occur in pregnant women, which is called gestational diabetes; and congenital diabetes which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, etc.
Globally as of 2010 it is estimated that there are 285 million people diabetes. Its incidence is increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that by 2030, this number will almost double. Diabetes occurs throughout the world, but is more common in the more developed countries. The increase in incidence of diabetes in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes.

Handling Criticism – a stepping stone to higher self!

There are probably only some enlightened souls who don’t mind being criticized. The rest of us cringe at the thought of it. Some people run away from it. Then there are some, who don’t even attempt doing anything lest they be criticized!

Even though everyone hates it, no one has any qualms doling it out to others! J Inspite of knowing that all of us have our own faults and have our strong points and not so strong points, we still make the mistake of criticizing others. If you saw the face of the person criticismreceiving it cringe, then please don’t fool yourself and others saying you were just giving them some honest feedback! Feedback is given from a space of completion, where there is only an interest to see improvement in the other, whereas criticism is used only by a person who has vengeance and anger within!

There are some people who run away from criticism, and some who avoid it like plague. All of us should however know that handling criticism can be a great teacher if you take it in the right spirit! Whenever you feel the heat of criticism – put a stop to the chattering in your mind and Look In! Why are you feeling the heat of it if what was said was not true? If its true, isn’t it good that there is someone to remind you and bring back your focus in the right direction? If its not true, why bother about it at all? One way or another, remaining cool and contemplating on it will take you a long way in understanding yourself and understanding life!

Always Listen! Listen to yourself! Listen to others! Each time you will move one step more towards your higher self!
