Excellent Pranayama Explanation from Himalayan Yoga Swami 

The Yogi explains so sweetly and lovingly... Words of higher wisdom... This is where language loses grammar but gets potent with meaning. Namaskarah!

At 3:19 he says "only rechak, purak, kumbhak.. this is best pranayam!" Rechaka is exhalation, puraka is inhalation, kumbhaka is breath retention, either out or in. The way/order he describes it, one would assume he's talking about Anuloma Viloma, and technically this is the only "pranayama" in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the others being considered "Shat Kriyas". It's also the only pranayama I could imagine someone doing for 3 hours at a time!

I dont know why, but I come and I listen to him many times... I have seen this video around 15times and I still like how and what he is saying. Great person

he wants to give away as much as he knows. Sounds so generous. 😍

That's what true yoga is all about , It's all about experience which no words No books ,nobody can explain

Thank you for this pearl of wisdom. A couple of corrections/additions to the subtitles, for the sake of clarity: - Ida is the moon system (left nostril, parasympathetic nervous system); Pingala is the sun system (right nostril, sympathetic nervous system). Sushumna is the central channel. - Rechaka is exhalation; Puraka is inhalation; Kumbhaka is breath retention (antar kumbhaka is holding breath in; bahir kumbhaka is holding breath out; sahaj and kevala kumbhaka are retention of breath without considering if the breath is in or out). Note: there can be slight dialect variations with some of the Hindi/Sanskrit terms.

I've been practising Pranayama for about a year, the correct way, and the results are powerful and amazing. Life has become clear and alongside meditation, the answers to all of my questions unfold before me. It is something truly to behold. Hopefully more people will practise these. You will definately bring calmness and personal strength, if nothing else, into your life. Like the swami says, take your time... Happy practising!!!

Finally a yogi who really knows what yoga is really for ! Dandavat Pranam!

His kutir is serene. The way the hung clothes are swaying gently in the breeze is somehow very relaxing !

Wow,,beautifully put by a beautiful man,a real yogi I feel,speaking from direct experience...🙏

This is the highest wisdom in this world ....this can only be felt and can not be explained in words ...although he gave a glimpse to all the seekers....lot of gratitude to this saint 🙏

"The words sky through your head" - simply amazing

This guy is absolutely correct in everything that has been said. Have gone through & experienced exactly the same. He basically is saying, you will experience genetically altering changes that fix your predispositions that you usually would inherit through your parents and through the environment/lifestyle, etc. After around 6-9months, depends on your level of advancement (Remember: Yoga is Symmetry) you will see tangible physiological changes. He's the only guy that shares my view for years.

1 year ago there was a very lucky moment when I meet with Swamiji Sundaranand, later on I called him whenever I had a progress or problem. I'm his disciple; he accepted me as his disciple. Whole information is real, free and the meaning of life.

I miss my Dad as was the one who encouraged me for pranayama practice. 🙏 Shree Yogiji

When you read the comments, suddenly everyone knows what the best pranayama is.

I saw this video for the first time a good 5 years ago and only now do I begin to experience everything he's describing. It's a painful but beautiful process. Very subtle, difficult to convey with words to a gross mind. But the video stuck with me as the process started to occur :0)

Thank you for sharing! What powerful and profound words! I love pranayama and meditation. This man's words have comforted me greatly. Blessings to everyone!

I can't wait to visit india to learn from such masters when this corona virus blows over .

The missing words are: Only "Rechaka, Puraka and Kumbhaka" is the best pranayama.

I'm a yoga instructor. And a practicinor. All he is trying to put his knowledge in words... Is amazing

I just did five minutes of oceanic breathing and I feel so much more peaceful already. And strangely enough, the fact that my feet hurt from seiza did not bother me at all. Remarkable.

Incredible. I appreciate his wisdom!

Love this man! I can spend hours listening to him :)

Even though I know a lot about pranayam still I I bought the DVD from the this person. It was shipped from Canada. The purity of this simple yogi made me do it.

knowlegde is to give not to hide....Guruji explaining it freely willingly so you can be earn a drop of spiritual oceans.But putting half video you are selling spirituality...A God gifted knowledge in masses and you are hiding it for financial benifits...

I believe It's Bhogar Pranayam. Steps 1) Close both nostrils 2) Open only left nostril and inhale -2 Counts 3) Close left nostril and hold the breath - 4 counts (Both nostrils r closed) 4) Open only right nostril and exale - 1 count 5) Close right nostril and hold - 4 counts (Remember both nostrils are closed now) Continue steps from 2 to 5 again in same order for further rounds. Pl note initially u might feel loss of breath or suffocation, but with practice it gets corrected. This pranayam was convinced by the great siddha Bhogar and helps in cleaning and balancing the nadis.

I met this baba in june 2010 in gangotri where he lives in his hut. He is also called photographer baba as he has large collection of himalayan photographsclicked by him. I sat in his hut and had conversation with him. He also suggested me a mantra. I remember he was cooking daal rice that day.

5 minutes per day for 7 days. 10 minutes per day for 7 days 30 minutes per day for 30 days 1 hour per day, etc.

Thanks for this. Also, my fave swamiji Sadhguru says that if you’re planning on going very deep into meditation it’s good to wear a metal band around your left ring finger to keep yourself anchored. Some have never come back.

True spiritual awakening lies in the realization that we are not separate from the divine, but a part of it. Open your heart to the divine presence within and experience the beauty of oneness

Namaskaram Thank you very much. Samuel from Brazil. 🇧🇷 🕉 🙏

Lovely. Without proper grammar he used the right words to effectively communicate the essence

His english speach is so simple and understandable easily. Thanks for giving much useful information.

I'm 13 yrs late. Namaste 🙏

Today I learned what is kumbhak rechak aur purak pranayam. Kabir shayeb so beautifully explained in kar naino didar mahel me pyara hain. Aap ko bahut bahut dhanyabad aap ki bajase ham ne itna jana. Aap ki video more than 20 times dekhi hain tab pata laga ki ye kya hain. Thanks yogi ji

he's lovely he is.

I could watch this a million times and still would not be satisfied.

You can tell by the excitement on his face that he is telling you the truth.

He really gave very very deep knowledge...

If you loop the part where he mentions 'the best pranayam" (he leaves off the 'a') you will get loosely "Rachuk Puru Akumbak" or Rechacka Puraka Kumbhaka : "The building blocks of pranayama are inhalation (puraka), exhalation (rechaka), retention after inhalation (antara kumbhaka) and retention after exhalation (bahya kumbhaka). For the microcosm that is our body, puraka is the generative force, kumbhaka the sustaining force, and rechaka the destructive force that removes toxic substances."

I love this video.. watching again and again..

My heartiest Pranams to Swamiji 🙏🙏

he speak as well abou turn body structure from normal to cristal form cristal keep vibration absolutly,without doubts and changes at this state,all hume shut come this is great stage of live for everyone and we all are conected on the base of vibrations,so more people achiev this stage,more people will spreat this vibrations round, it is like positive epidemy, this is love ,this is purpose of every singel person,every singel me.... love love love peace peace peace

I'm fortunate enough to watch this. Thank you.

Aapne toh saare kendron ko(chakras) itne saral explain kiya. Agni(sun), jal(water), vayu(smell), earth(feeling oneself), ajna(outer world), oneness wow,

he is right.. pranayam will change lot of things and prepare you for all of the next stages in ashtanga yoga..

Very well expressed. Yes. Have been there. ThQ. Blessings. Mumbai India

Thank you for uploading this video and other videos of this kind and this yogi ji. My path is clear after hearing this,right now it's time to get something out of this guidance and through practice.Ram ram

He is talking about Nadi Shodhana. ThiS is the basic Pranayama. which cleans all impurities from the nervous system. Ida and Pingala. All others can be done later. First and basic Nadi Shodhana.

i did it for a couple hours or so and for about 30 seconds i experienced what i perceive to be some phenomenea of cessation of thought with only awareness (profound mental clarity)amd my whole body was buzzing and tingly.it is a difficult excercise and really goes along well with athletics as it is essentially a heavy workout for lungs etc...

pranayama is the fastest way to clear and cleanse the inner worlds toxic substances that form from desires and unhealthy ego... senses of lower self. I beg everyone on earth to learn more about pranayama practice from real teachers and live your life, not someone else's. LOVE

Swami Sundernanda, pranaam ! Direct disciple of late mahayogi Swami Tapovan ji maharaj.

The real experiencial practical explanation, blessed To see hope this register in majority of people who see this video.

Please upload whole video now. You have made enough money by 8 years.

Only rechaka (exhalation), puraka (inhalation), kumbhaka (retention full and empty lungs) is the best pranayama....Here is the testimony of a Frenchman translated in english by me about square breathing: " I meditate on the breathing (especially on the moment between inspiration and expiration), little by little I no longer feel my body, I feel good along the spine, I have tingling on my body, my eyelids are shaking, I'm in a kind of trance, I feel myself rise (I lose the notion of "space" such as my office) and I stop voluntarily because the feelings are too strong and I have the feeling of controlling nothing."

I have seen one person who does not use any scent or any fragrance and his hands smells like sandal He always says that he used to do pranayam every day....from many years

swami vivekananda explained this thing in brief in his book RAJAYOGA

He is speaking from experience, it's very clear from the way he is speaking

God our country have so many hidden gems❤❤

Nadi shodana pranayama I will try this daily

The pranayama he is talking about is called "Anulom Vilom". It is one of the main pranayama besides Kapalbhati.

Excellent, although I see how cleverly you cut the part where he was showing you the pranayama he was doing right at the beginning of the clip, about which the entire clip is. He is giving you all this wealth of information for free, so why are you hiding information for money, find other means of earning money...Anyways, meditation has always been, is and will remain free for everyone from Indian yogis. I am listing pranamyams he is talking about here, even the video maker couldnt understand the 2nd pranamyam name that is omitted from his subtitle. Learn how information is shared for free? - 1. Anulom Vilom Pranayama - at the beginning of the clip. I am an Indian so I recognized it from his action, its done everywhere here, foreigners doing yoga will also recognize this. 2. Rechak Purak Kumbhak Pranayama - is the second one he speaks about in the end # 3:18, as the best Pranayama. Btw, all that he says is absolute truth...India is filled with such yogis and many have seen it for ourselves, those who are into serious yoga abroad will also be be witnessing elementary effects.

Wonderful knowledge Swami ji🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Such great people give us inner happiness

He was a Good Photographer. A very mysterious person. Did not had good relation with most Sadhus in the surrounding. He has many disciples from EUROPE. He use to Stay in Gangotri. Now there is a big museum of all his beautiful photographs. To make this Museum he used all his political links to do things which others cannot do legally. But he use to practice various pranyama which many others also knew. Ask Sadhus in Gangotri they can tell more.

Thank you for passing the messages. Highly appreciated!

Excellent superb beautiful God bless you

I feel that energy by doing..😄

THank you blessing to this beautiful swami for his love and attention. God bless, Noella oneness Canada. Love you all.

Yoga is a great path. No doubt it gives enlightenment.

BEAUTIFUL MAN, BEAUTIFUL MAN!!! I LOVE THIS MAN

Zen says there are so many books on Indian spiritual yoga. Few of them are: Yoga sutra of Patanjali.,Hathayoga Pradipika.,Gherand Sahinta.,and also books on yoga by Osho. 🙏

wow i wish i could live there too

Great work Swami Ji.

Namaskaram guru ji

onecenter1 thank you, those are real Internet uploads !!!

Knowledge with innocence😊

For those who cannot hear him... He is saying only rechak poorak kumbhaka pranayama... Which means "Inhalation," "Exhalation," and "retention of breath".

good to find it!!!! it's a good revelation!!!

Excellent Pranayama Explanation

thank u 4 reminding me!!!

It is usually best to work personally with a qualified practitioner/teacher in person. This way they can keep an eye on you over time.

love this video

I don't why I'm crying 😭 Blessings and grace to the one that's reading this message..

Legend

Thanks for sharing this video with others.

❤ I love him

Thank you Amar! You put some light on those misterious technique. Rechaka, Puraka and Kumbhaka per se means nothing.

I have found that pranayama appears to bring about an altered state of perception. Through contrasting this altered state with my usual daily perception I have gained a sense of the subjectivity of perception. I am experiencing the data from my nervous system and nothing else. By modifying the nervous system (by drugs, yoga, sensory deprivation etc etc) we are able to modify the reality that we inhabit. I can fully understand why so much of it is illegal, it is a massive threat to the rulers.

We just be in dream to get what we hv not done.swami ji yoga is one of d best way to know urself.bt we will get some more greed to do Pranayam....it is not true way to feel yoga.they will certainly again searching.....yoga rests our search...

Ya Guruve✨

I want to experience this shared message..

Shri Bhagavan Ki-Jai, jai, jai...

To my understanding this swamy says, hours together of pranayama. Once that internal Cleansing is done,can attain the Samadhi state,and then how to manifest any thing is possible ( I am correlating to autobiography of yogi). I read a book "Autobiography of a yogi" by paramahamsa yogananda. In that book too there are lot of chapters described about yukteshwar and babaji). I am just coorelating only ,I too need to practise a lot. Read that book and listen to this swamiji video, will definitely understand the true meaning ,at the higher level.

Who else is watching this in 2021
