Yoga |
Yoga,
the science of man, based on ancient Indian wisdom and culture, is an art
of living a healthy, balanced, peaceful and contented life. Yoga, being a
total integrated system, studies man in his wholeness - body, mind and
spirit and is integrated to certain principles, ideas, values, attitudes
and a way of life for personal and social benefits. Conceived
by the great sages in their quest for self-realisation, it has come to be
recognised during its; long travails from the hermitages to the cities, as
the science of man, a philosophy old life, a code of conduct, an attitude
and an approach, as well as an art of living which is capable not only of
ensuring physical well-being, mental peace harmony, moral elevation and
spiritual uplift of man but also of transforming man from his gross animal
existence to the sublime heights of divinity.
It
must, however be kept in mind that it is a long and arduous journey
calling for perseverance, persistence, dedication and total surrender.
There is no instant yoga. It is not a
question of merely closing one's eyes or of sitting in a posture. It
involves cultivation of an attitude and approach to life. It must not only
be a philosophy to be imbibed but a practical philosophy which must be
lived. It is therefore, not enough to think of yoga but to do it and to
live it in our lives. It is also necessary to understand that yoga is not
a substitute for action. Human effort is indispensable. The transformation
is not at the cost of action but to enable us to perform our duties more
efficiently, more effectively and honestly. Yoga had recognized and
accepted the importance of the mind and the subconscious over the total
human personality much earlier than modern psychology did in its present
form. Yoga is a stepwise, stage wise eight fold path to final liberation
from pain and suffering. These steps progressively take us to the highest
state of creativity, of discriminative knowledge and towards attaining the
desired perfection.
|
|
|
|
The
eight steps are- |
YAMA |
Conditional
yoga behaviour, personal and social |
NIYAMA |
Attitude
sublimate to yoga norms |
ASANA |
Discipline
of the physical body |
PRANAYAMA |
Control
over bio energy through respiratory action |
PRATYAHARA |
Withdrawal
of the senses inwards through abstraction |
DHARNA |
Concentration |
DHYANA |
Meditation |
SAMADHI |
Transconsciousness |
|
|
Of
these, the first five, which border on the Psychosomatic Approach, are
referred to as External (Bahiranga) yoga, popularly known as Hatha Yoga,
while the latter three, which directly affect the psyche are known as
internal (Antaranga) yoga, popularly known as Raja Yoga. It is almost
impossible to try internal yoga (Raja Yoga) for the average man before
accomplishing the external one (Hatha Yoga). The respective sequence of
the eight steps as the standard methodology of yoga.
Yoga is based on a deep understanding
of man and his position in this world and was the first system evolved in
the world to recognise the connection and the interaction between body and
mind. It studies in depth the very structure of the human personality,
through analysis the psychological complexities and the cause of human
pain, sorrow and suffering. It has laid down psychosomatic means through
its various psycho-physiological processes for dealing with the body mind
complex and tries to harmonize and integrate the human personality at all
levels and stages of life.
Yoga is basically a way of LIFE which
has been evolved as a system to go beyond the personality - complex and
achieve absolute freedom-liberation of the spirit from the matter. |
