JUST ONE YOGA ASANA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

                                                

JUST  ONE  YOGA  ASANA  CAN  CHANGE  YOUR  LIFE.

The 84 Asanas which are the fundamental Yogasanas are 84 ways to make the body into a passage.

It is not necessary for everybody to do 84 Asanas. If you do one, it is enough, usually Hata Yogis... serious Hata Yogis who are taking Hata Yoga as their path to liberation practice only one Asana, just one Asana.

It is difficult for a thinking mind to understand why would somebody spend his whole life trying to sit in a particular way or posture. But if you learn to sit right, if you just learn to hold your body right, everything that you need to know in this universe you can know because, this is known as Asana Siddhi. If you can sit in a posture stable and comfortable for two and a half hours then we say you have attained to Asana Siddhi, that you are in absolute and at ease in a particular posture. That is Asana Siddhi - if you achieve this everything that you need to know one can know internally.

How is this possible ? How can one just by sitting in a particular posture can know everything that you want to know ?

If you have a Television in your home, it is just a box with little bit of electronics in it . But it becomes a world by itself , the whole world can stream into this box simply because there is a receiving mode, if you set the antenna right , if it is properly adjusted then the whole world flows in to your television set . If the antenna is not set right, then the same box having everything but can not do anything. This is how the human being is, an individual human being is who he or she is , is only because of what he or she perceives . Right now you are who you are is only because of what ever you perceived in your life, and you will be what you will be only because of what you are going to perceive in future.

The whole system of Yoga is only interested in enhancing your perception, so if you hold the posture right, if your alignment is right and if  it matches with the Cosmic alignment in some way,  of the 84 alignments, if one gets into these 84 postures or even masters the single posture and approaches the remaining 83 through that, then everything that has happened in this creation till this moment one can know because the memory of that is right here within your system in a codified way, it can be activated and ignited if it touches another dimension outside of yourself.

So, Yoga Asanas are powerful means to connect . Yoga means union , union means two have become one . Two is just this - there are only two in the existence , YOU and the rest of the existence. In the rest of the existence you may identify this one, that one , that one , but essentially there are only two , you and the rest of the existence, because there are two dimensions of experience within you , you do not know what is up & down in this cosmos , you do not know what is forward & backward in this cosmos , you do not know anything, these are all things that we made up for our convenience . The only experiential reality is - there is something called outward & something called inward, these are the two dimensions of experience. So, Yoga means to bring a union between these - INNER & OUTER or You & the rest, when there is no YOU & OTHER, there is only YOU - then it is YOGA.

Asanas are a physical manifestation of approaching this, a physical form of approaching this ultimate union. Because physical body is the easiest thing to work with. If you try to do something with your mind, it will play too many tricks . At least with your body you know, it is doing it right or not doing right, whether it is cooperating or not cooperating. A mind if you push it too hard it will make you believe all kinds of things & dump you the next day. But body is not like that, it is a reliable factor, if you work with it sensibly the Yogasanas will definitely lead to the possibility of the ultimate union. In the mean time by getting into the postures before all the alignment with the ultimate happens, the inner alignment happens which will naturally achieve a chemistry of healthfulness, joyfulness & blissfulness and above all BALANCE. Balance is something that our modern societies have ignored and are paying a huge price for today. Whatever maybe your intelligence, competence , education & qualifications, if you do not have the necessary balance then you will nor succeed and not go far in life. 

So, the most important thing for people who are seeking to be successful, is balance, in what ever field they may be. Only if you have a balance which is not disturbed by external situations will you be capable of making use of the competence intelligence that you carry within you, otherwise the most wonderful qualities that one may have will all go waste simply because of lack of balance, HATA YOGA means BALANCE.
