1. GSY is based on the Ashtānga (eight-fold / eight-limbed) philosophy of Yoga as codified by Sage Patānjali in the Yoga Sutra. The practice of GSY leads to an easy and effortless realization of these eight limbs.
2. After sustained practice, mantra chanting (mental repetition) becomes involuntary. This experience is known asAjapā Jāpa. In this state, the practitioner finds that the mantra is being chanted endlessly within him / her of its own accord, without any effort on the part of the practitioner.
3. When the seeker chants the mantra relentlessly (or experiences Ajapā Jāpa), it transforms itself into a divine sound. This is known as Anhad Nāda. Physical sound is created when one object strikes another. Anhad Nāda has no such physical origin; it is an unstruck, ceaseless sound that pervades the entire universe. The Nād is heard by the seeker in one of his ears, and is an indication of the seeker crossing a major threshold of spiritual development. For further queries email gssyworld@gmail.com or call (+91)8369754399
4. Through the practice of GSY, the practitioner attains many divine powers. One of these divine powers is known as Prātibh Gyāna (Intuitive Knowledge). When this knowledge is attained, the practitioner is able to foresee and hear events of the unlimited future and past.
5. During meditation, seekers may experience Khechri Mudrā, a yogic posture where the tongue is pulled backwards and prods a point in the roof of the mouth which secrets Amrit a divine nectar, or the elixir of life. Amrit fortifies the body’s immunity and frees a practitioner from incurable illnesses.
6. The practice of GSY brings about a change in the practitioner’s Vrittis (inner tendencies) from Tāmasic (dark, dull, inert) to Rājasic (passionate, energetic) to Sāttavic (positive, pure, enlightened). A transformation in Vrittis essentially means an overall change in the practitioner’s personality.
7. The practitioner ultimately attains Moksha (liberation from cycle of life and death) and divine transformation.

Chanting brings about an intoxicating joy

• ‘Stress’, that ever-present and often times debilitating illness affects all of us. Below, Guru Siyag talks about how chanting (mental repetition of Guru Siyag’s mantra) relieves stress quite effectively. Feel free to share (copy-paste for personal use only, please)!
• “All over the world, 80 per cent of diseases are caused by stress. Kali Yuga has cast a Tamasic (negative, dark, dull, inert) pall over mankind. Whether they are rich or poor, people are constantly under immense stress. Medical science is not able to treat stress. They only prescribe sedatives to calm the nerves. Senses are lulled and stress seems to abate until the effect of the drug lasts. Once the intoxicating effect of the sedative wears off, stress and related diseases are back.
• Even we (Siddha Yoga philosophy) believe that stress should be treated by intoxication. But the intoxication should not be caused by matter but by spirit. In Siddha Yoga, intoxication is induced by chanting the name of God (chanting mantra).

          “Chanting the name of God brings about an intoxicating joy”

• It is a fact that this joy can be experienced by chanting God’s name. Indian mystics and saints such as Guru Nanak have referred to this joy as “naam khumari” (intoxication by chanting). Guru Nanak has said that intoxication by drugs wears off the next morning but intoxication by chanting never wears off. Another Indian saint, Kabir, has said that intoxication by chanting does not wear off. Instead, the intoxicating joy it gives grows every day. The mantra that I give is has the divine power of Radha and Krishna.
• “Krishna was the ninth and complete avatar (incarnation). One more avatar is yet to come – Kalki. There is a lot of debate around the world whether Kalki has arrived or not. A lot of people claim they are Kalki. The one who is accepted on a universal level will be proclaimed as the Kalki Avatar. So, chanting God’s name brings about an intoxicating joy. In the Bhagwat Geeta, Lord Sri Krishna has referred to this as ‘Ananda’ (joy or bliss). There are five shloka (poetic verse) in the Geeta about this: The 21st shloka in the fifth chapter and four shloka from the sixth chapter — 15, 21, 27, 28. He has referred to ‘Ananda’ in several ways: divine ananda, ananda that transcends the senses and ananda produced by meditation on God. Until man experiences this ‘Ananda’ (joy or bliss), he is not able to differentiate between sukh (happiness) and ananda (joy or bliss).
• “As long as a person has wealth, a great car, a house and family, he is happy. But if even a single item is taken away, his happiness is destroyed. So if this material happiness is true happiness then how is it so easily destroyed? This little girl here is sitting and playing, and is enjoying herself. She is not interested in what I am saying, and so finds no happiness here. When she is 20-25 years old, she will find happiness in something else. When she is about 70-80 years old like me, then she will find happiness in something completely different.
• So this ‘happiness’ that people pursue, is one produced by the senses. It is not ‘Ananda’ (joy or bliss).
• “‘Ananda’ is Akshay (indestructible). It is not ‘Kshsay’ (destructible).
• It is like Kabir said, “The intoxicating joy chanting God’s name gives, grows every day.” Chanting the mantra I give, will give you ‘Ananda’ (Joy or bliss). The ‘Ananda’ in turn relieves you completely from stress. The ‘Ananda’ stays with you night and day, and frees you from stress and related illnesses. And without the consumption of medication. Doctors of materials science find this very hard to believe.
• I have advised the West to not concentrate on matter alone but also include the ‘spirit’. Matter plus spirit will spell the end of all kinds of diseases.”
