Shel: Paap and punya are calculated in eons. So I wanted to know how to do it.
Swami Ram Swarup: My blessings to you. Paap (sins) and Punya (pious ones) are calculated on the basis of bad and good deeds respectively. Bad/sins deeds are those which are against the Vedas and all holy/spiritual books. And pious deeds are those which are done according to Vedas and all holy books. Therefore those who always make contact with learned acharya to listen to Vedas /holy books, they understand the form of pious and bad deeds because its philosophy is very elaborate. On the other hand, God says that human body is meant to listen to preach of Vedas/holy granths from an acharya to destroy the sorrows and to get long, happy life. So, we must obey the God to achieve the target of human life. However, I could not understand the word “eons” quoted by you; please, clarify.

Siddharth Bajaj: How to do Bahyantar and Abhyantar prannayam?
Swami Ram Swarup: In abhyantar prannayam the breath is inhaled and stopped inside. It is stopped for sometime easily and then the breath is exhaled and stopped outside easily. This is Bahyantar prannayam. The process is repeated again and again. But it must not be done without the guidance of an experienced yoga teacher personally otherwise harm may be caused.
