Duration:
-- Nights / -- Days
Destinations: South India
Yoga, the science
of man, based on ancient Indian wisdom and culture, is an art of living a healthy,
balanced, peaceful and contented life. Yoga, being a total integrated system,
studies man in his wholeness - body, mind and spirit and is integrated to certain
principles, ideas, values, attitudes and a way of life for personal and social
benefits.
 Conceived
by the great sages in their quest for self-realization, it has come to be recognized
during its long travails from the hermitages to the cities - as the science of
man, a philosophy old life, a code of conduct, an attitude and an approach, as
well as an art of living which is capable not only of ensuring physical well-being,
mental peace harmony, moral elevation and spiritual uplift of man but also of
transforming man from his gross animal existence to the sublime heights of divinity.
It must, however be kept in mind that it is a long and arduous journey
calling for perseverance, persistence, dedication and total surrender.
There is no instant yoga. It is not a question of merely closing one's
eyes or of sitting in a posture. It involves cultivation of an attitude and approach
to life. It must not only be a philosophy to be imbibed but a practical philosophy,
which must be lived. It is therefore, not enough to think of yoga but to do it
and to live it in our lives. It is also necessary to understand that yoga is not
a substitute for action. Human effort is indispensable. The transformation is
not at the cost of action but to enable us to perform our duties more efficiently,
more effectively and honestly.
Yoga had recognized and accepted the importance
of the mind and the subconscious over the total human personality much earlier
than modern psychology did in its present form. Yoga is a stepwise, stage wise
eight-fold path to final liberation from pain and suffering. These steps progressively
take us to the highest state of creativity, of discriminative knowledge and towards
attaining the desired perfection.
The eight steps are:
YAMA
Conditional yoga behavior, personal and social
NIYAMA Attitude sublimate
to yoga norms
ASANA Discipline of the physical body
PRANAYAMA
Control over bio energy through respiratory action
PRATYAHARA Withdrawal
of the senses inwards through abstraction
DHARNA Concentration
DHYANA Meditation
SAMADHI Transconsciousness
 Of
these, the first five, which border on the Psychosomatic Approach, are referred
to as External (Bahiranga) yoga, popularly known as Hatha Yoga, while the latter
three, which directly affect the psyche are known as internal (Antaranga) yoga,
popularly known as Raja Yoga.
It is almost impossible to try internal
yoga (Raja Yoga) for the average man before accomplishing the external one (Hatha
Yoga). The respective sequence of the eight steps as the standard methodology
of yoga. Yoga is based on a deep understanding of man and his position in this
world and was the first system evolved in the world to recognize the connection
and the interaction between body and mind. It studies in depth the very structure
of the human personality, through analysis the psychological complexities and
the cause of human pain, sorrow and suffering. It has laid down psychosomatic
means through its various psycho-physiological processes for dealing with the
body mind complex and tries to harmonize and integrate the human personality at
all levels and stages of life.
Yoga is basically a way of LIFE, which
has been evolved as a system to go beyond the personality - complex and achieving
absolute freedom-liberation of the spirit from the matter.
