YOG ASAN
Yog
Patanjali Rishi (sage) has defined eight types of means for purification
of body, mind and soul known as Ashtang yoga.
The eight yogic practices are:-
1. Yam- Restraint of passions.
2. Niyam- Practice. (Yam & Niyam are the moral codes of life.)
3. Asan - Posture (Practice of Physical exercise (Asanas).
4. Pranayam- (Science of Breathing).
5. Pratyahar leading to the higher realms of controlling the mind through
the practice of pratyahars (withdrawal) of senses) - Restraining the
sense organs.
6. Dharana (One pointed ness) - To sustain, to bear.
7. Dhyan- Meditation, Thought.
8. Samadhi (Union with Divine).
It is not necessary to do many Asana (as there are so many Asana (Postures)
select the group of Asana with a view of your body and ailments, under
the guidance of a guru.
The process of doing Asana is more important instead of repeating the
Asan. As Yogasanas open the energy channels and psychic centers, hence
the guru is needed.
Asana (Postures) make one firm, body becomes free of disease and resistance
power increases.
The aim of Yogasans is not to exhaust you but give the rest & sense
of wellness. This is a Sadhana, do it slowly & regularly.

The sun is the brightest of all and life giving visible God. Life can
not be imagined without Sun. The sun is a powerful God. The `ANAHAT
CHAKRA in the body which is situated behind the heart in SUSHUMNA NADI

consciousness (ATMA CHETANA) and a person becomes healthy. SUYRA NAMASKAR
