Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Sudharshan Kriya

Its been more than 3 years since I started Sudharshan Kriya. I typically start the day with Bastrika, followed by Sudharshan Kriya, followed by Pranayama and then meditation for a few minutes. The practical benefits that I see are;

• relief from cold and cough
• improved respiratory system (hence no wheezing, bronchitis, etc)
• improved sitting posture (all day)
• no head aches (stress related)
• overall improved energy (all day)

More importantly, the subtle benefits are;

• ease with which I can meditate (transcending to thoughtlessness)
  
• achieving the disconnect required from Body, Mind and Intellect (for meditation)
• balancing of the bodies systemic chakras
• improved immunity system (via respiratory system and removal toxins)
• focused efforts (mind does not sway here and there- always focused on practical things to do)
• calm and peace under different trying circumstances
• improved overall productivity (in the right direction)
  
• improved relationships with a sense of gratitude and thankfulness
  
• nothing is impossible attitude (always feeling connected)

Recently Gurudev answered the following way to the most important question for mankind over time ;

Q. When will all national boundaries dissolve?

A: When everyone starts to do the Sudarshan Kriya. (audience laughs and claps)

(there will be a time when this planet exists as one world and one family with no boundaries - due to the foundation work laid by Sudharshan Kriya and One day all of us will be practicing Sudharshan Kriya -similar to how we brush our teeth today !! I only wish that this day comes sooner than later -- JGD).
