Ganesh Kriya (Dhauti) is a process that helps to eliminate common complaints like partial or dissatisfying bowel evacuation, hard stools, erratic, difficult, or painful bowel motions, constipation, and forceful evacuation etc. Nevertheless, anyone can perform this kriya to experience its usefulness. Before going to the toilet in the morning, lubricate the forefinger of your left hand with some castor oil, ghee, or sesame oil. Apply this lubricant around the anus from outside and inside. This is Ganesh kriya.
Technique: Ganesh kriya
Dip the index finger of the right hand in castor oil/ mustard oil. Insert this finger in the rectum. And turn it on all sides and remove the faucal matter. Wash the finger and repeat it. Remove all the present in the rectum. This kriya should be done after cleaning the bowels daily.
Repeat 3 to 4 times, proceed to the next kriya. Contract and relax the anal muscles in a manner just like the horse does while passing excreta. Repeat the contraction-relaxation cycle 10 to 12 times.
Note
- Cut nails before performing Ganesh Kriyas properly.
Ganesh Kriya Benefits
- Stregthens internal and external muscles of the rectum which prevents constipation and other diseases.
- Removes piles due to clearing the rectum.
- Beneficial for Constipation.
The lubricant used for Ganesh kriya slowly reaches the intestines due to Ashwini Mudra that follows. This results in effortless evacuation of bowels and relief from constipation.
Sluggishness of the organs diminishes and one becomes swift and energetic like a horse.
