Gddha Yoga is the science of controlling the energy, or ‘Prana’, which affects our body. In India, Gddha Yoga is known as the ‘science of power’ because Gddha is said to be the ‘power’ or ‘force’ which moves and balances the energy in and around our bodies. In fact, Gddha is believed to be a link between mind, body, and environment. The goal of Gddha Yoga is to cultivate a state of mental and physical well-being so that we can achieve enlightenment or ‘God consciousness’. There are many practices associated with Gddha Yoga, including physical exercises, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation.
Geddy Chaturvedi is one of the practices of GDDH, or Giddha, that deals with energy. Geddy Chaturvedi is a Kundalini Yoga technique that originates from the Gita. It is based on Chaturvedic astrology and applies the principles of Kundalini yoga to create subtle power that flows through the body and is capable of changing one’s physiology and psychology for the better.
The Gita contains references to a ‘ring dance’ (Rakshabandhan), where a woman holds her partner’s hand and the two perform a dance of joy while simultaneously letting go of their own power, i.e., they both let go of their fear of self-discipline and become free agents in their Kundalini Yoga practice. Today, Geddy Chaturvedi is often performed for couples and is considering a form of love. The couple usually perform a routine set of eight to sixteen steps, called a Rakshabandhan, before going for dinner. The act of dancing together, Geddy Chaturvedi, is meant to generate sexual energy and bond together. In fact, some consider it to be tantra yoga, since it is performed with a heightened sense of awareness as well as emotion.
