What is Yoga ?
The word Yoga means to "yoke" mind,
body and soul. Through the practice of Yoga,
one unites body, mind and soul. Yoga Asanas
(poses) keep one's body young, dynamic, supple,
strong and healthy. Yoga is the divine science
which disentangles the Jiva (Human) from the
phenomenal world of sense objects and links
him with the Ananat Ananda (infinite bliss).
Yoga originated at around 4th century BC.
Yoga and its sutras were invented and developed
by Sage Patanjali during that era. The common
Yoga is also known as patanjali's Ashtang
Yoga (An Eight part process).
What are the eight aspects of yoga ?
Yama- 5 universal disciplines of ahimsa (non-violence),
satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya
(self control) and aparigraha (non-covetousness).
Niyama- 5 personal values of saucha (cleanliness),
santosha (contentment), tapas (penance), svadhaya
(self study), ishvarapranidhana (surrender
to God).
Asana- yogic postures to be performed.
Pranayama- control and regulation of the life-force
prana through the breath.
Pratayahara- withdrawl of the five senses
to steady the mind.
Dharna- concentration.
Dhyana- meditation.
Samadhi- adsorption or the state of oneness
with God.
Yoga can help you
Healing by yoga is subtle as well as gross.
Those suffering from physical ailment like
Asthma, Arthiritis etc can gain tremendously
from the practice of Yoga. There is no ailment
(except AIDS, Cancer) which cannot be cured
by Yoga. Asanas like sirsasana, sarvangasana
and halasana can bring confidence and heal
depression and psychosis.
