CLASSICAL YOGA IN MODERN WAY • This label applies to the eight fold Yoga— also known as Raja-Yoga— taught by Patanjali in his Yoga-Sutra. • This Sanskrit text is composed just under 200 aphoristic statements, which have been commented on over and over again through the centuries. • Patanjali has described ‘Ashtanga Yoga’ eight fold path or steps of Yoga. The eight steps are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. • These steps in perfect order, as they are, were formulated on the basis of psychological understanding of the human mind. • Yoga had recognized and accepted the importance of the mind and the subconscious over the total human personality much earlier than did the modem psychology in its present form. • In the methodology of Patanjali, all the eight limbs or constituents are to be present in the same sequence with their correlation and ratios as recommended, to make the process of yoga successful. Yoga, thus, is a lifestyle, step-wise and stage-wise, through the eight-fold path to final liberation from pain and suffering.
• Patanjali, who is by the way often called the “father of Yoga,” believed that each individual is a composite of matter (prakriti) and spirit (purusha). He understood the process of Yoga to bring about their separation, thereby restoring the spirit in its absolute purity. • Patanjali believed and practiced rigorous yoga and as clear from historical literature on yoga, it was a difficult form of practicing yoga only allowed for people(MEN) who were bachelors or Sanyasis, and hence was considered as a difficult and rigorous practice.
Modern Yoga
• With the entry of Yogi Guru Yogendra in yoga, deciple of Paramhans Madhavdas Jicame modern yoga in its existence. It was guru Yogendra’s deep research on common household person and his instigation to bring yoga for people like them, who needed it the most. It was in his guidance with which came modern yoga to all of us or to a common man.
HOLISTIC APPROACH
• Yoga is a unified approach to self-development which is designed to balance and harmonize physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being. The practice of Yoga is nonsectarian, promoting health and harmonious living. • The word “Yoga” means to join together” or “unite”. Thus, Yoga is a process of integrating and balancing body, mind and spirit. Many of us live in a disjointed manner as our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs struggle with each other creating frustration and confusion rather than fulfillment.
• Pundit Radheshyam Mishra has created a new way of Yoga teaching where various poses may help reduce and in some cases relieve various physical symptoms. • These symptoms include Arthritis, Asthma, Breathing disorders, Spondylitis, Other Orthopedic problems, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Diabetes, Headaches, Migraine, Sinus, Heart disease, Infertility, Insomnia, Pain, Cancer(Non-Chemo patients), PMS, Menopause and Weight/ Obesity management.
