YOG IN OUR CHARACTER

 YOG IN OUR CHARACTER


-By:- Abhijit Yadav


Patanjali explained the Importance of the eightfold path, popularised under the name of ASHTHANG. Among the eight limbs(ASHTHANG) of yog, the first two limbs are YAM(abstinence) and NIYAM(discipline and character). These two are more prominent and placed even before the ASANAS(postures) and PRANYAM(control of breath) among the eight limbs of yog. But still, for the masses, the definition of yog ends just at ASANAS and PRANAYAM. It's not practically possible for a person in a state of severe depression to look after his physical health because a person with an unstable mind can never build a stable physic. And in a similar manner, a person with great physical health but without morals and ethics of universal acceptance for all will always be a liability for a nation, for a society. As KRISHNA says in BHAGAVAD GITA   

            सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि।

             ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः।|

that someone who looks upon everyone with equality and accepts everyone as a part of himself without any biases is a YOGI in a true sense. So YOG is not just merely about a person's physical well-being but also guides a person to be a complete human being with great character and high morals.

Nada Yoga

  Nada Yoga- Let the sounds of universe heal your being -By Baishakhi Guin There must be a music app on your phone with a song put on loop and everytime you find time or want to relax, you plug in your earphones and listen to the music. That music does something to you, an unexplainable harmony starts swirling within your body while you start to feel at ease with yourself.  Everything in this universe has a voice, the living and the non-living, they are singing into the cosmos at a frequency that isn't always audible to humans. But once you concentrate your soul and listen to these sounds, your being will tap into an unending channel of peace and healing.  Nada yoga is a form of yoga that relishes the vibrations of our universe. The silent vibrations of the self (anhata) and the external sound(ahata) are the two categories of Nada Yoga.
