Karma Yoga

Karma Yoga 

Karma yoga, also known as Buddhi Yoga, the "doctrine of" baziruescheesya on the Bhagavad-Gita - the sacred Sanskrit scripture of Hinduism. Karma yoga is one of the four pillars of yoga as such, and focuses on the commitment to duty (dharma) while remaining impartial in relation to all the worldly. It is believed that man can attain moksha (liberation), or the love of God (bhakti) by performing their duties without a shadow of selfishness in order to meet the Creator. Karma Yoga is an optional element of such systems, originating from classical yoga, as Natya Yoga. 

Bhagavad Gita gives a summary of the process of the practice of karma yoga. By itself, the Bhagavad-Gita is the head of a more extensive work, known as the Mahabharata, where there is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and his friend and charioteer - Krishna during the events of dynastic wars. The impulse to communicate is served Ardouny, as he experiences the loss of morale because of the grief and loss that he should suffer, as both warring camps, there are his family and friends. In response, Krishna sheds light on a number of philosophical systems and practices of yoga (including Karma Yoga) through which the fight could still be under the principles of righteousness and justice. 

The word "karma" comes from the Sanskrit kri, meaning "to do", so that in its most basic sense, karma means action, and yoga - union. Thus, karma yoga literary translation as a way of unity through action. It is described as a path of action, reflection and expression, when the practitioner behaves according to his duty (dharma), not recognizing their own selfish desires, likes or dislikes. This action without attachment to the results of actions. 

Krishna describes this work as taking place without expectations, motives or rejection of the fruit. Thus, it can clear the mind of man and make the latter quite objective. He argues that there is no need to remain in the external state of loneliness or inaction, to practice the spiritual life, as the state action or inaction, above all, coordinated intelligence. 

To achieve perfection in life, Krishna speaks of the need to control all the desires of the mind and the tendency to enjoy the pleasures derived through the senses. The practice of Karma Yoga in everyday life makes a man healthy through action, meditation and devotion, making it more acute his mind, developing the intuitive power of knowledge and transcendent consciousness. 

Like many other philosophies of Hinduism, karma yoga is based on a shared understanding of karma and reincarnation (samsara). It is believed that a person is born with the positive and negative karma, which he accumulates in previous lives, and that push e th at certain things in this life. This process continues for as long as the person does not get a zero balance in which karma is not at all, then that person gets released. 

Shankarcharya said that during the practice of karma yoga, the mind is cleared. Thus, he describes the karma-yoga as a way to jnana-yoga, and jnana yoga already leads as a result of human-to Moksha or implementation. 

The Hindu holy Hindu Saint Mata Amritanandamayi says this: "Beauty and the attractiveness of unselfish love and service should not disappear from the face of the earth. The world must know that life in devotion is possible, as well as life, inspired by love and service to humanity. Meditation and studying the scriptures are two sides of one coin. The inscription on this coin is the unselfish service, and this is what gives it real value. Our sympathy and an act of self-sacrifice leads us to the depths of truth. Through the impersonal service, we can uproot the roots of the ego, which obscures Ya dispassionate, impersonal action leads to liberation. This action is not just a job, it - karma yoga.

Integral Yoga

Integral Yoga 

Integral Yoga or Purna Yoga (translated from Sanskrit as a complete yoga), sometimes called Yoga Supermind This name refers to the teachings of Sri Aurobindo on the integration of all parts of the T here with the Divine, and treatment of all affected components to a state of harmony of the higher consciousness . 

Sri Aurobindo founded and established his own school in the early twentieth century as a way to find the integral of the Divine, at the end of which every man freed from ignorance and its consequences, in order to grasp the truth that is beyond human consciousness. He describes the nature and practice of Integral Yoga in his work "Synthesis of Yoga". Title clearly says that his yoga is yoga of synthesis, designed to harmonize parts of karma, jnana, and bhakti yoga, as described in the Bhagavad-Gita. It can be considered synthetic product of Vedanta and Tantra, as well as Western and Eastern approaches to spirituality. 

Many types of yoga, except, perhaps, Natya Yoga, develop only a single aspect of life and the ultimate goal of liberation and the state of transcendence. The aim is Integral Yoga is the transformation of all beings. Because of this, using different practices: physical, vital, mental, emotional and spiritual. Means of transformation of these components is described in detail by Sri Aurobindo, who formulates it all in his integral philosophy. The aim of Integral Yoga is the transformation of all beings, and no, that something is left unattended. 

From other mystical ways of the school of Sri Aurobindo distinguishes the recognition of the need to change the individual and the surrounding world. Thus, the integral Yoga is a two-track: in the foreground is a complete change and transformation of internal and external nature, and the second (not second in importance) spiritual realization of God or the transcendent or the Enlightenment. 

Sri Aurobindo believed this mental consciousness rights transit step in the evolution of the earth, and our civilization - only a step towards the greatest experience and opportunities Supermind. Sri Aurobindo believed Supermind principle, able to organize everything and to coordinate. This consciousness is enclosed in all creation, he believed, and sooner or later, one of the following stages of terrestrial evolution will manifest itself in the outside world. 

In integral psychology of Sri Aurobindo and his entire metaphysics, space is described only in two dimensions or differences. On the one hand suschestvueyut physical, vital, mental and higher transpersonal realities. At the same time, there are manifestations of an external entity, the inner essence and profound mental entities. So all this horizontal and vertical hierarchy of existence was to be transformed through integral yoga.

The essence of bhakti yoga

The essence of bhakti yoga  

In Sanskrit, "Bhakti" means the spiritual attitude of bhakti, a devotee called people to God, God himself, presented in the form of personality. Very bhakti yoga is the real embodiment of human love for God, and the ways of expressing it historically, there were several that led to the fact that today distinguish the nine forms of the embodiment of bhakti yoga. If a devotee to God people wish to know the supreme love for God, he must resort to one of the ways to achieve this. So, you can choose the path of Sravana, which translates as "Hearing God", but the essence of this bhakti-yoga is to study the scriptures of the Hindus, which speak about God.

Lotus Pose

In the system of hatha yoga there is a lot of various exercises, but the most famous of them can be regarded as the lotus position, which they know even those familiar with yoga only hearsay. In order to pose a lotus out most faithful, it should be exactly sit down and stretch my legs, then slowly put the right foot on left thigh, and then perform an identical operation on his left foot. To insure proper implementation of all these movements, it is necessary to draw attention to the location of your heels. Pouso be considered complete only when they relate to each other on the outside and touch the inside of the lower abdomen.

Dependence of the loads from the age of yoga

Hatha yoga, both in principle and any other type of physical activity, you can do almost from infancy, gradually increasing the number of exercises. When a child comes 2 years, it can be gradually accustomed to the long-time walks, to games that require constant movement. With 6 years of age the child should continue to play, for jogging, hiking, but can gradually begin to study some breathing exercises, in addition, should actively explore the lightest variation of the dynamic type of exercise, and exercise equilibrium type and the lotus position. 

When little yoga turns 10 years old, he continues to use the acquired knowledge, known him to engage in exercises, but care should be taken to start swimming lessons and more intensive work with the breath. In the interval from 13 to 16 years, the most relevant lessons are exercises that allow people to develop physical abilities such as strength, endurance and speed, to a new level should be removed control of the breath, the yogi must be able to perform almost all dynamic exercises, as well as actually be able to perform the lotus position. 

The most active period covers the age span of the young yogi from 17 to 30 years, while in which he should be able to perform all possible exercises of hatha yoga, to be able to stay in all postures and breathing exercises to carry out any difficulty. In the next ten years of life yogi must keep his physical form, but it is recommended to improve the results in one area of hatha yoga. The next decade is characterized by the same level of stress, but requires more walking. Each subsequent year should not affect the physical abilities of yogis, especially if they comply with the requirements of ever-increasing amount of time spent on the street.

Legends about Yoga-alchemist

Legends about Yoga-alchemist 

On the acquisition of "diamond body" was sent to one of the types of yoga, Tantric Vajrayana, the essence of this was to acquire permanent and incorruptible body is preparing for the final "transformation", Hatha yoga to strengthen his state of immortality. Tantric processes, as such hold in the body, which is called "thin" it is the one with the cosmos and at the same pantheon, in turn, is deified. The essence of the above is that the student had to survive a real thin body death and resurrection, it should have happened after the end of the cycle of destruction and restoration of the universe. Therefore, this process resembles alchemy, the process of disintegration and reconstruction, although it is a variant of Western alchemy. Yoga, like the alchemist has some kind of transformation of matter. However, the matter in India was completed process pakrita or shaky, the Maya called them arhitep-mag. 

Among the traditional Siddh is completed and this part of the transformation process tantric yoga, the essence of the following: continuation of alchemy it is the age-old way of tantric yoga, which seized on the one hand the secrets of Sakti, ie imitating her transformation to a prime speaking skills and knowledge to transform ordinary metals into gold, on the other hand Vajrayana has a "diamond body" and Siddha-deha hatha yoga have no strong differences from the "body of glory" of the alchemists of the Western lands. The role of the transfiguration of the flesh is given to the worshiper's body like a god creating (Divya-deha), "body wisdom" is a worthy receptacle for only him, to those who "liberated in this life, it is called (Jivan-mukti). Strangers who visited India to feel the unity of yoga and alchemy but they were not alone, його-alchemical folklore to develop in the Indian people, combining myths about the elixir of immortality and the treatment of metals has turned a single myth about yoga-Mare.

Immortals yoga

Immortals yoga 

Most people at one time in my life heard the word "immortal yogis. Only a few people managed to meet at least one. I have devoted the time and trouble to to find - whether they exist. 
Until I met 8 of them. I arbitrarily set 300 years as the minimum duration of life in the same physical body as a standard, as an estimate of such an unusual class of people. . This is an 8 immortal yogis, both men and women, their age from 380 to 130 000 years. Three of them retain the address of his place on the planet Earth for over 2000 years. 

Once I met Rama and Sita in the Netherlands. They come and go at will. I am in awe looking at the relationship that continued for 130 000 years. 
There are at least several thousand immortal yogis on the planet Earth. Most of them live in the Himalayas. A group of them always appears at the meeting Khumbu Mela in India. 
These yoga absolutely committed to improving their ability to learn and accumulation of great energy of age of age. But self-justification and unconsciousness can occur at any time, causing the decline and death. Shiva Purana, which is the oldest scripture that describes the millions of years of human history, contains many stories about this and that type of human character, which is required to practice the presence of God in Truth, Simplicity and Love. 

Immortals of yoga by his example demonstrates that the practice of the Presence of God in Truth, Simplicity and Love is a timeless condition for infinite health and vitality. 
One of the things that struck me when I saw these the wise, simple and great people, was that most of the people who live near them, have little interest in becoming immortal yogis, or not at all interested in this. It is still surprising to me. 

This problem of self-evaluation? 
This is a crude materialism? 
It is the spiritual darkness of the human soul? 
This lack of imagination? 
The idea is to be master of itself seems too difficult? 
Obviously, this is limited thinking, but why most people are so limited in its assessment of human potential and their beliefs about their own potential? 

Yoga is the stereotype of the immortal image of a hermit, practicing celibacy and living in a cave, but the immortal yogis are as men and women, and traditionally, according to the Hindu Holy Scriptures, the life of a householder with a wife and family, is an appropriate way to achieve liberation, and skill . For example, Shiva, Rama, Vayshista Babaji many immortal bodies have wives and children. 

Spiritual liberation, and skill in fact mean the same thing. Liberation means complete healing of emotional intelligence and, through this, the possession of a healthy body. Liberation means to be not born of the Eternal Spirit and to include the mind and body in adult life eternal, endless energy. Liberation means to live, fully conscious I am staying in, in the Guru - ie in our personal relationship with the Infinite Mind. 

Mastery means - to eliminate the consciousness of the victim and cause of our goals and desires. It means to live in bliss, except when you deliberately heal someone suffering from pain. It means to be free from death, as appropriate. This means sintegrirovannost spirit, mind and body and possess the ability to heal the body. 
However, the skill has several levels: spiritual enlightenment begins with the following understanding - energy becomes to what she thinks! 

1. Selecting physical immortality is probably the first level. 
It includes a complete philosophy of life from a physical standpoint 
immortality rather than a mortal perspective (perspective, focused on death). 
2. Awareness of the energy body. 
3. Learning how to clean energy body: mantras, practices with the elements earth, air, water, fire, love 
4. Nothing can replace 30 years of spiritual practices: Rebirthing, fire, starvation, etc. 

Perform a sufficient number of years of practice in order to really be in the forefront of the process of spiritual purification in such a way that the healing of emotional energy pollution faster than you earn it. For some people, an important step is to become a vegetarian or give up cigarettes or alcohol. 

4. Be in harmony with the principle of guru 
5. Choosing a lifestyle that supports spiritual growth and mastery. 
6. Become knowledgeable perfect image of the great scriptures of all religions and the great literature of samples of humanity, especially the Shiva Purana. 
7. Creating a spiritual community as a personal media support. 
8. Establishing a successful relationship with Babaji, the eternal Father in human form, and to allow your friends to communicate with him on this path. 
9. Dissolution of death wish, which you inherited from your family tradition. 
10. Healing of senile diseases. Old age - this is the last exam for the human condition - you or pass it - or go to another world. This is the main obstacle to physical immortality. Most people give up and die more often than follow the path of personal improvement. We would prefer that someone else did it for us. That is why we must transform the helplessness, hopelessness, infantile consciousness, birth trauma, cancer awareness, etc. 
11. Shiva Kalpa is the main ritual (way) rejuvenation - 12-year-old course. 
12. The actual healing of birth trauma, fetal and infaltilnogo consciousness, parental disapproval syndrome, unconscious desire for death, inherited from family and from past lives and informed use of force the human mind. 
13. Find satisfaction in career, prosperity and civil liability. 
All these items relate to improving the human condition, the following is our divine potential. 
14. Development of transfiguration - the materialization and dematerialization of the body at will. Healing of emotional intelligence can take anywhere from 50 to 100 years if we are working with this all the time. This is our main work during the first century. 
15. Experiments with teleportation, astral projection, levitation, etc. 
16. Control of food, sleep and sex - 40-day fast without food or water. 
17. The development of conscious relationship with the Sun, Moon, Planet Earth and its environment, etc. 
18. Controlling organs of the body instead of being controlled by them. Be able to heal the body and make him invulnerable to wounds, disease and death. 
19. Master the million Yogi, which are needed in order to create the human body directly from the Spirit. Without this ability, the origin of the human body is a relative theory. However, evolution can begin at any point and move in any direction. 

In everyday life people show that they can suspend the natural bodily processes, manage, change them and cause them all sorts of wonderful variations, as the benefit and harm. Our creative energy now can continuously penetrate into the laws and processes of nature and change them with pure intentions. Life becomes more stress-free when we do not need a supernatural energies and live in harmony with our common divine and human nature. This is good - to live in peaceful harmony with the laws of nature and have no need to use supernatural forces. 
20. I met my immortal yogis highest level of skill, apparently, is reached after 500 years. Despite this, the father of Rama lived more than 60 000 years without achieving spiritual mastery. 

Eating from the Tree of Life, which means the practice of the Divine Presence, is still and constantly a source of Eternal Life. God is the source of wisdom, peace, pleasure, mastery, and the materialization of eternal life. Devotion to God is the source of eternal science of personal vitality. 
The choice to become immortal master yogi makes you immortal in real time. The trick is to remain immortal. This obviously includes the mastery of this choice in the Eternal Now. It is not difficult, it is in harmony with our Divine Nature. We just have to remember - always and without effort - that we are born the Divine Child High God. We - this is his favorite ideas in his / her mind.
