EVOLUTION OF VARIOUS FORCES VIA SAVITA-MEDITATION
http://shriramsharma.com/books.htm
The sun is said to be the creator of visible nature. In the same way the sun is the creator of our bodies. It is in the navel. That navel which is not given due importance by modern doctors and scientists, has been given a lot of importance in Indian Yogic scriptures. During pregnancy a mother is bound to the baby in her womb via the navel and via the navel (umbilical chord) the child gets nourished. The navel spreads out in the entire body. Every spiritual practice (Sadhana) that activates our subtle vision first activates the navel. A Kundalini spiritual seeker too has to initially practice Pranayams (Yogic breathing methods) called Anulom / Vilom and Suryabhedan. Patanjali in his Yogic text says – by focusing the mind on the navel plexus one attains wisdom of gross objects in the body. Western scientists call it solar plexus, yet their knowledge regarding it is very minimal.
“He who meditates on the fire that dwells in the navel becomes radiant, brilliant and one whose hunger in the stomach augments. He attains a long life. He begets many children, attains a lot of wealth and name and fame. It is a rule that never spit and eat while facing fire.”
