all the six of them for 1 to 1 : 30  hours so totally i will have around two to two and half hours
of yoga daily.

 As a result i have lost lot of weight; This has caused lot of problems to me also i have become
Weak too.

 Sometimes i will have lot of hunger and some time lot filled ness and cant even think of eating

Currenlty I'll eat

Hi Raja,

If you are feeling weak, and you feel that it is because you are not eating enough, then you are probably right. I would not see it as a sign that you need to reduce your spiritual practices, just that you need to eat a bit more food.

I have found that the amount of food I need has changed over the years. Sometimes I have needed to eat more, sometimes less. Yogani talks about this in his book 'Diet, Shatkarmas and Amaroli'. He discusses the way our need for food changes as the kundalini process progresses. The book doesn't give you much advice about what to eat, but I found it helpful in dealing with the overall issue of how to manage diet whilst engaging in spiritual practices.
