YOGA - It’s importance
On this International Yoga Day which falls on 21st June , let us all take an oath to make ourselves fit to live in this world in union and harmony and realising the fact that everything from dust to mountains, an ant to an elephant in this universe are equally important.
Yoga - as it is known today might have taken a new turn and dimension all together due to various external influences, but the basic fundamentals are the same and as the Sanskrit word yoga Simply means “In union”. The practice of yoga determines who you are and whom you want to be , even the genetic order can be changed through yoga and its proved by using modern scientific studies and data.
As it is said in yogic scriptures, yoga was handed over from Lord Siva to Patanjali in the form of yoga suthras and there is also another very important text on yoga by sage Gheranda known as Gheranda samhitha. The yoga is never to be taken as a physical circus but the tool for mental upbringing.
The postures of yoga as everyone thinks what yoga today is only a part or a method of fine tuning the body, but the breath control or the pranayama is the most important and the very essence of yoga.
It’s a technique, in Spiritual terms Can be described as the moulding of the body in tune with the universal energy, which can be otherwise called as Aathma Bodha or self realisation.
In Bhagavath Gita Lord Krishna has named each chapter as a yoga, the different paths to attain the already attained.
Let us never forget the great unrivalled contribution Swamy Vivekananda the wandering Monk , has parted on bringing yoga into the world and teaching Westerners the core of Hinduism which is not a Religion but an order.The vaidika dharma as it is based upon the teachings of vedas.
Let us all take this opportunity to upbring and enhance ourselves for a better tomorrow.
