Re:ojas

[Guest guest]

i would contend that ojas, tejas and prana are simply a higher octave

of kapha, pitta, and prana, i.e. the doshas are ojas/tejas/prana in a

disturbed state

 

but how this supports your contention that there is no ojas loss with

pregnancy and childbirth is unclear

 

there are two forms of ojas: ardhanjali ('one handful,' or apara ojas)

and ashta bindu ('8 drops,' or para ojas) - in regard to pregnancy we

are referring to the former, which undergoes continuous flux dependent

upon health - the latter cannot be changed because it is jiva - the

life force - and only leaves the body upon death - in this respect the

concept is very similar to the chinese concept of pre and post-natal qi

 

now, perhaps what you are referring is the transmutation of ojas into

amrita?

this is an important distinction that i think is sometimes missed -

anyone can build up ojas with the correct regimen, but enhancing ojas

does not equal enhanced spiritual potency, only a potential top develop

it further, i.e. transmute it into a still higher octave, i.e. amrita,

the 'divine nectar'

i meet lots of people with great ojas - think of soldiers, pro athletes

etc., but there is no corresponding increase in their spiritual

awareness
