GHERANDA SAMHITA
Gherand - Samhita is a literature written on practical yoga which is a conversation
between Maharshi Gheranda and Raja Chandkapali
...
The majority of its manuscripts are found in
the north and east of India, and, of those which are dated, the oldest was copied in
Bengal in 1802 C
...
We may hazard a guess that the Gheranda Samhita was composed
in Bengal around 1700 C
...


The yoga teachings in Gheranda Samhita is known as Shaptang Yoga
...
It calls its Yoga “ghata Yoga” or “ghatastha Yoga” and not
Hatha Yoga
...
If the raw clay pitcher is filled with water, it will be destroyed by melting
...
This body can mature only through yoga
...


Secondly, it is unique in teaching a sevenfold path to perfection of the person
...
Each chapter teaches
a group of techniques that, when mastered, will lead to one of the seven means listed in
verse 1
...
The first chapter describes six types of cleansing techniques by which
purification, the first means to perfecting the person, can be achieved
...
In
the third chapter Gheranda teaches twenty-five mudras, which lead to steadiness, the
third means
...
The fifth chapter starts with instructions on where the
yogi should live, what he or she should eat, and at what time of year yogic practice
should be started
...
The sixth chapter describes three types of dhyana, using which
the yogi can achieve realisation of the self, the sixth means
...


UNIQUE FEATURES FROM OTHER HATH YOGA TEXTS

Like the other root texts of Hatha Yoga, the Gheranda Samhita does not concern itself
with yama and niyama, the restraints and observances that make up the first two limbs of
classical Yoga
...
In the classical system, the last six limbs are
successively more subtle, moving from the physical realm to the mental
...
This may account for the position of the chapter on pranayama
...
A further unique aspect of this book lies in its positioning of the chapter on pratyahara before that on pranayama
...

Pranayama is, of course, a more physical practice than pra- tyahara, but here the

Bhramari pranayama is said to lead to samadhi; indeed, it is one of the six varieties of
Raja Yoga or samadhi given in the final chapter
...


Most of the rest of the chapter is similar to other texts, apart from the teaching of the
Ajapa Gayatri, the mantra constantly but involuntarily repeated by all living beings
...
”

Tantric influences have been toned down considerably
...
39: in all other manuals of Hatha Yoga this name is given to
a technique in which the yogi or yogini resorbs commingled sexual fluids through the
urethra; here it is a simple physical posture
...
77 and 7
...


There is no sin in the world like Maya and no force (Shakti) in the world like Yoga
...
In Gheranda Samhita,
Maya has been called sin, yoga is the ultimate force, knowledge is friend and ego is
enemy
...
The body is
produced by karma and karma from the body


SAPTA SADHANA
These are the seven sadhan (tools) for purification of the body Shodhanam, Dridhata,
Sthariyam, Dharayam, Laghavam,Pratayasham and Nirliptam
...
Shodhanam – Refinement – purification of body and mind
...
Dridhata – Strength - Physical, mental, reflective and emotional perseverance
...
Sthariyam – Stability – physical stability, mental stability
...
Dharayam – Patience – Patience, endurance of the mind

...

...
Nirliptam – The dormant state of mind
...
They also balance
Tridoshas, Vata-Pitta and Kapha produced in the body
...



1) DHAUTI (CLEANING OF STOMACH OR DIGESTIVE TRACT)

Dhautikarma has been considered to be of four types with the distinction of

1
...


2
...
Hrid Dhauti: Cleaning of the heart area (stomach, food pipe etc
...
Moolshodhan: Cleaning of the root part of the body, cleaning of the anus, large
intestine, urinary tubes, etc
...
Through this, yogis make their body clean
(healthy)
...


1
...

Varisar

3
...

Bahishkrit

These four are done to cleanse the body
...
When drunk completely, operate in the stomach (rotate the air in the
stomach) and then remove that air (from the mouth)
...
It brings cleanness to the body
...


Caution – This activity should be done on an empty stomach and it can be practiced
daily
...


VARISAR ANTADHAUTI

‘Vari’ means water, ‘Sar’ means element (essence), dhoti means wash, that is, wash
element with water
...


Meaning: Drink water slowly; fill the food pipe with water up to the vocal cords
...
This Varisar
Antadhauti is the ultimate secretive and cleanser of the body
...


Ιt is also called shank prakshalan
...



Preparation
On the eve of practice one should eat light food
...
Do not practice
aasanas in the morning on the day of Varisar Dhauti and remain empty stomach
...


Method of water preparation
Make lukewarm water by adding cold water to hot water
...
Add as much salt to make the water salty, but not too salty
...


Location and environment
he best place for the Varisar Dhauti is the courtyard or verandah, so that you can get pure
air
...


Method

At first, drink the two glasses of lukewarm-salty water quickly and without stopping
...
After that, to whirl the water in
the abdomen, do the five aasanas described below in a rapid motion, which causes the
water to come down from the stomach
...
Each aasana should
be performed eight times
...

Tadasana

2
...

Katichakrasana

4
...

Udarakarshan (Abdomen Stretch Pose)

After this, drink two glasses of water again; go for defecation after drinking a total of six
glasses of water
...


Do not wait more than two minutes for defecation
...
” You have to come to the toilet again by drinking two glasses of water again
...
Then you have to come and drink water and
do postures again
...

First, simple excreta will come out, then thin stool will come out
...
One who removes the Pitta (bile), with yellow water, particles of feces will
be remove which are hidden here and there
...
Black, brown, pink, red
...
Clean water comes out after drinking about 16-20 glasses of
water, then the action should be stopped
...


Aasanas and their peculiarities of the shank prakshalna – The aasanas should be done
sequentially as described below, because each aasana extends the small intestine,
extends its walls and pushes the feces in it towards the lower side
...
First posture – Tadasana
...
These
protrude the valve of the muscle between the stomach and the esophagus, which is
called the pyloric valve
...
Therefore, when practicing Tadasana, the layers of muscles open
slowly and water enters there
...
In oblique Tadasana, we tilt our body to the left
...
When the body bends on one side, then
the layers of sputum on that side spread and the layers on the other side become
compressed
...
Removes 

the dry stool
...
Third practice: - Kati Chakrasana: Kati means waist and chakra means circle or
rotation

...


Post meal exercise: - After forty five minutes of practice, you can eat khichdi
...


Make liquid khichdi like water and add more amount of ghee to it

...
This is the best action to purify, like the deity expressed by
it Divine, Kantimaan, gets vibrant and light body
...
That is, the action by which the digestive
power is increased by intensifying gastritis
...
This led to Agnisar’s
cognizance it happens
...
All stomach diseases are destroyed by this, acute gastritis is
intensified
...
Only by doing
this karma does the body become like a deity
...


In this activity, the transmission and contraction of the stomach is done
...

which is called Mahadhoti or excluded prakshalna Dhauti
...


Ablution process - Stand out in the water till the navel, take out the shakti pulse and after
expelling it, clean the pulse, clean it
...

cleaned, push it back in again
...
It is also rare for
the gods
...


DANTADHAUTI 

There are five distinctions of Dantadhauti
...
Dantamool,

2
...
karnarandhra

4
...


These four types of dhautis occurred, In which two dhautis are considered occurring from
the pits of both ears
...


DANTAMOOL DHAUTI

The roots of teeth should be rubbed with Khadir juice or pure soil until the dirt is left
...
Men who know yoga
consider this dental work to be the main deed
...
Jivhashodhan increases the length of jivha
and keep away from disease, old age and death
...
Rubbing
gently with softness relieves Kapha dosha
...
Perform an activity as milk churning again
...
By doing the practice daily at sunrise
and sunset, the length of the tongue increases
...
The method is the same, but Maharshi
Gheranda considers them the process of serial number 3 and number 4 respectively for
two ears
...
Continuous
practice of this yoga method leads to a feeling of Nada (sound)
...
This type of practice provides relief from Kaphadosha
...
To pallet
your skull at the end of sleep, after meals and before sleep and at the end of the day
...
e
...
Then Kapha Pitta Clayad should be catharsis
...


VAMAN DHAUTI

The knowledgeable seeker should drink water after the meal and after a moment, looking
upwards, water should be expelled by vomit
...


There are mainly two types of Vaman dhauti, one is called Kunjal Kriya, in which warm
salty water is drinked empty stomach in the morning and expelled; in the second type
water vomit is done after meals, which is also known as Vyagar Kriya
...
Then it should be taken out
slowly
...
This dhoti increases the strength of healing and
affirmation day by day
...
The fabric should be of cotton and should be very thin and soft, not rough
...

When this practice starts easily, then the length and breadth of the cloth can be
increased
...
5
feet long
...
Therefore, one should
do basic refinement
...
This
method strengthens the gastroenteritis by removing the problems of lack of stool, dryness
of stool, excretion of feces, and amoebiasis etc
...
Its meaning is - the
cleansing of the root organs of body
...
Therefore,
Moolshodhan means: - Cleansing of the anal area
...






2) VASTI
There are two types of Vasti Karma
...
Jala Vasti :- It is practiced in water
...
Shushak Vasti :- It is practiced on land and at a dry site

Jala Vasti by relieving salvage and the cruel air, make the body beautiful like deities
...
In this
state, only the anal opening is expanded and contracted
...

During this period of action, anal nerves should be expanded carefully, so that the flow
can be completed
...
Sit in
Paschimottanasan and operate the vasti in the lower part
...


By this means, mitigation of diseases of leprosy and rheumatism and enhancement of
gastritis
...

Trataka

One gets divine
vision by removing the defects of the eye
...


1 Bahir Trataka: - For this, we take any real thing or tangible form like: Sun, Moon, stars,
trees, idols etc

CHAPTER 4
PRATYAHAR
Shata( SIX) Shatru Varnan

Maharshi Gheranda said that now I describe Pratyahara
...
We should control our wandering mind and concentrate on soul
...


Shatashatru - Kaam, fickleness, rewards, contempt, pleasant to hear, sad to hear
...
juices
and subdue the soul
...



CHAPTER 5
PRANAYAMA
Choose the first place and time and purify diet and pulse
...


Location - Time- Diet “pulse purification*

Pranayama should be done only after the pulse purification
...
Location decision

Yoga should not be practiced in a far country, in forrest and in the capital
...
That is why
these three places are forbidden for this
...
There should be a well or reservoir nearby
...
Pranayama should be practiced there
...
It is appropriate to
start practice in spring and autumn
...


Mitahar- According to Maharshi Gheranda, the rule is to eat food, filling 50 percent ie half
part of the stomach with food and remaining 25 percent i
...
one fourth part with water
and keeping the remaining 25 percent ie one quarter empty for air circulation
...


Dietary Ingredients- The seeker should eat rice, barley, sattu, wheat flour, moong, urad,
gram etc
...
Devour the herbs of Parwal, Jackfruit, Ol, Malkand, Kankol,
Karela, Kundru, Arabic, Cucumber, Guler, Chaulai etc
...


Prohibited diet

1
...


2
...
is prohibited in the beginning
...
Marga-gaaman (long journey), female movement, and fire (tapana) are also not
suitable for a yogi
...
Garlic, Kamarkha, Piyar, Asafoetida, Bean, Bada etc
...


5
...



6
...


7
...


Do not eat hard things, contaminated things, hot, stale, cold and very hot things that
generate excitement and sensuality
...


One should give up the actions which cause pain to the body such as early bath and
fasting
...
Eating once, stay without food or eating after every hour is also avoidable in yoga
...
In this way, one should practice Pranayama by law and before starting Pranayam,
consume ghee, milk every day and have meal both midday and evening time
...


Reason- Maharshi Gheranda has stated that milk and ghee are prohibited in the
beginning of yoga
...
But after the practice of
shatakarma, asana, mudra, pratyahara, sexual desire turns into spiritual desire
...
Hence the habit
of eating ghee among the practitioners of Pranayama
...



Nadi Shuddhi - Thick cloth of Kush, Singha Charm of Mrigacharm or any type of blankets
should be used as a means of pranayama
...


Two methods of Nadi Shuddhi are described

1
...
Nirmanu - pulse purification by Dhautikarma
...
Types of Pranayam - 5
...


Sahit, Suryabheda, Ujjayi, Sheetali, Bhastrika, Bhramari, Murchha and Kevali
...
Sagarbha and Nigarbha
...


The practice of Nigarbha is without bija mantra
...
After the end of the inhale and before the beginning of the
Kumbhak, keep the udiyana bandha
...
“Then do the recitation along with
Shukla varna with the form of Tamogun and image of Shiva, of ‘M’ bija mantra
...


Special- In this way, do not engage the index and middle fingers while practicing AnulomVilom
...


While doing Kumbhak, one should lift the equal air from the umbilical cord through the
sun pulse and lax it slowly with the left nostril
...
Laxate
from the left nostril
...
Kundalini is awakened
...
Then after cleaning the mouth, apply Jalandhar
Bandh and hold the air as powerfully as possible without disturbance
...
It cures Kapha disease, cruel air and indigestion
...
”



SHEETALI PRANAYAMA

If Ujjayi Kumbhak is proven, no fear of death
...
Then, after holding the air for some
time, remove the air through both the nasal holes
...


It does not cause indigestion and cough- pitta disorders
...
In the same way, the action of taking and
releasing the air from the nose rapidly should be done 20 times and this practice should
be done three times
...


It is helpful in eliminating all kinds of diseases
...


At the beginning - the sound of the jinggur, Banshi, Megh Gargan Then the buzzing bells,
gongs, trumpets, bheri
...
is heard
...
Meditation is eight times better than
chanting
...
Music is eight times better
than tapa (tenacity)
...


MURCHHA (UNCONSCIOUSNESS) PRANAYAMA
First, do the aforesaid Kumbhak happily, remove the mind from the subjects and place it
in the Aagya Chakra (oblation cycle) located in the middle of the eyebrows and immerse it
in the divine being in the lotus of this two party
...
This
Kumbhak brings joy
...
Every person keeps chanting
this mantra for 24 hours
...
Kevali Kumbhak should be practiced
eight times daily in eight hours
...



CHAPTER 6
DHYANA
There are three types of meditation: 1
...
Jyoti Dhyana (light
meditation) 3
...
In this way, meditate on your
guru or your favorite deity in your heart
...
In the middle of it is a pair of swans of nad (sound) and
light
...
In this way meditate on the
Guru in Sahastrar
...
