This will be a blog mostly introducing the term sukshma pranayama. If you look for it, you wont find much about information about it online. Even in the shastras – there is paucity of information.
The place where you will find some information is in the book by Swami Veda Bharati in his book Yoga Sutras of Patanjali volume 2. There is a reference noted in one of the appendix also.
Swami Veda Bharati was the disciple of Swami Ram. Some people may be turned off by Swami Rama due to some occurrences that may have occurred in his life. Nevertheless, if you read his books, he has flashes of brilliance, clearly showing he had many experiences. He has a book called God. He has done a good job.
So what is this Sukshma Pranayama? Everyone knows about the gross pranayam that everyone does. This sukshma pranayama, like the name implies – is very subtle. Having said this, I am unable to give a detailed description but you can easily get a very detailed explanation by asking your Guru.
- Sukshma pranayam can only happen with Shakti awakened by your accomplished Guru. If you cannot experience it, then you dont have awakening or your Guru was weak and could not give it to you
- It comes with incredible experiences within.
- At this point, there will no longer be any questions for you.
- The mystery how the within shapes the world will become apparent.
- This sukshma pranayama is extremely rare, but it is a sign your Guru was a Siddha.
- I am not the right person to give the step by step information about Sukshma pranayam and how it is connected with the Granthis, Chakras, and siddhis.
- Once this is awakened, the disciple will show exceptional characteristics.
