“ Yoga has a complete message for humanity
It has a message for the human body,
It has a message for the human mind,
And it has also a message for the human soul”
India is a land that is known for Yoga and meditation for
thousands of years. In fact, Yoga owes its origin to India
and is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy. Yoga is
a vibrant living tradition not only in India but also across
the world. Yoga is seen as a means to physical health and
spiritual well being. Yoga is a path of inner transformation
and discipline. Yoga and Meditation are just such indigenous
twin techniques of self-realization and purification. One
incomplete without the other, they help an individual to develop
a sense of physical, mental, emotional as well as spiritual
well being. Yoga in all its forms tries to create harmony
of the body with the mind and soul. It is a very general term
that encompasses many different disciplines ranging from the
purely physical to the purely spiritual, and is a truly original
Indian concept.
Many people believe that yoga and meditation are mystic arts
that demand complete devotion to the exclusion of everything
else. However, the truth is that Yoga and Meditation are not
the hard taskmasters they are often made out to be. Yoga and
Meditation can easily be incorporated into our daily lives,
requiring no more than a few minutes, if not more, everyday.
Their benefits on the other hand are wide-ranging and restorative.
For instance, meditation has proven to be highly effective
in treating psychological conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive
disorder, depression, and anxiety, and Yoga is known to increase
levels of self-confidence and memory.
Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra are all parts of the ancient life-disciplines
that have been practiced in India for centuries. They find
mention in the scriptures of the Vedas and Upnishads. Yoga
is the the science of the Union with the divine, with Truth;
Tantra is the most direct method of controlling the energy
that creates the ultimate union with truth; and Ayurveda is
the science of life. The purpose of each practice is to help
the individual achieve longevity, rejuvenation and self-realisation.
The object of the practice of Yoga and Tantra is liberation,
although only certain disciplined individuals are able to
achieve the ultimate goals through these practices. If Ayurveda
is the science of the body, Yoga is the science of the body,
Yoga is the science of spirit. They are sister sciences. The
practice of Yoga is an important , natural, preventive measure
to ensure good health. The practice of an ayurvedic regimen
is a precursor to Yoga because it is only when the body is
fit that the individual is ready to study the spiritual science
of Yoga.
There are many forms of meditations silent sitting, chanting,
praying, and walking meditation, meditation that uses visualization
or focus on objects. Meditation can be found in almost every
tradition in the world if one were to look into their more
contemplative practices. Samadhi is the state of highest equilibrium
during meditation, when the individual consciousness merges
into the cosmic consciousness. All limitations vanish, the
individual consciousness empties itself and in that emptying
process, consciousness expands. Life changes and daily living
becomes a new and fresh experience. Life itself becomes meditation,
for meditation it is not separate from life but a part of
life. Creative intelligence begins to operate in the body,
mind and consciousness and all problems dissolve in this new
expanded awareness However, one should remember that all the
beneficial results of committed and regular practice.
