Inside at a Certain Level You Can See Both Sides Volume XXII, No. 1, February 2013 At a Certain Level You Can See Both Sides By Sri Swami Satchidananda Question: Everything comes from God, and thus everything is God. Therefore, how can it be said that there is a true Self and not true Self; or that, “I am not the body, not the mind.” It’s like saying, “God is everything except the body, mind, etc.” Sri Gurudev: Very true. When you know that everything is God and when you are experiencing everything as God, then you don’t even say, “I am not the body, I am not the mind.” The person who says, “I am not the body, I am not the mind,” is not experiencing everything as God. So, there are different levels. When you are at the lower level you say, “This is Self and this is non-Self.” The duality comes. That’s how you begin. But as you go further and further, everything becomes the Self including body and mind, right and wrong. There is no wrong then. Even the so-called “wrong” is also right. In one of his prayers the great sage Acharya Shankara praises God in this way: There is a Hindu form of worship called archana in which you offer flowers and repeat the name of God and God’s attributes. At one point he says, “O God, in the form of anger, my salutations to You. O God, in the form of lust, I am saluting You.” How could that be? One should not have lust. At the same time he is saying, “God, in the form of lust, my salutations to You.” It looks like a contradiction, does it not?

There’s no difference at them to continue that way. Hints for the Modern Man By Sri Swami Sivananda 82. Raja Yoga is the king of all Yogas. Concentration is one of the limbs. The other limbs of this Yoga have to be practiced before you can successfully concentrate. Till then, you may have small failures. Taking into consideration the several difficulties that are in your way of doing rigorous sadhana, I wish to suggest to you the easiest way. Do japa. Take any name of the Lord. Repeat it mentally or verbally. Write it in a note book. This is likhita japa. Sing it slowly. This is kirtan. 83. Jiva is independent. He gets himself bound by the meshes of past samskaras; he does wrong actions. Old samskaras are the cause of such actions. That is why the shastras prevail upon man to cut down the samskaras through Vichara. It is intelligence that rules buddhi or mind. When the subtle, pure, intellect penetrates through the veil of ignorance and understands the good from the evil, the right from the wrong, and acts according to the promptings of pure intellect, then the Jiva shines in his pristine glory of independence unruffled by the waves of buddhi or samskaras or thoughts. 84. Sit less. Serve more. Hate none. Love all. Clothe less. Bathe more. Take less. Give more. Talk less. Think more. Eat It is a temple of awakened silence in the shrine of the soul. less. Masticate more. Preach less, practice more. Worry less, Realize God first in the temple of your heart. Then realize laugh more. Indulge less, restrain more. Rest less, work more.

  • Focus of the Month 2.14
    Bobbi Misiti 2201 Market Street Camp HIll, PA 17011 717.443.1119 befityoga.com TOPIC OF THE MONTH February 2014 FROM NOW FORWARD . AND SOME NOTES FROM MAUI Although I am not a “big fan” of the sutras, I do like to study them. Just because something was written as an “ancient text” does not always mean it has merritt . and in just the same way -- because some study proves some scientific “fact”, does not mean it is truth. For example all those years we thought saturated fat was bad for us . it is not! Studies were mis-read, mis-leading, politically adjusted, and “interpretations” seem to benefit some benefactor more than mankind. However I like this little blip from David Life on the very first sutra, in my simple words it basically says: From now on, just allow the yoga to arise naturally in you :) Excerpts from David Life's January 2014 focus of the month -- Jivamukti Yoga Atha yoga-anushasanam (Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra 1:1) Now this is yoga as I have perceived it in the natural world. Atha means “now.” But it’s more than just “now”; it means now in terms of “hereafer,” or “going forward.” The importance of that nuance is that it implies that whatever has been happening will now, hereafer, be different. The word shasanam can be understood as a set of rules, a discipline applied to us from the outside, a set of instructions for what we’re supposed to do next. But when we put the word anu, which literally means “atom,” in front of it, it means the instructions or ways to act that come from the inside.

  • 200 TT Manual Deep River Yoga
    Weekend Seven Choosing a Yoga Style Sherry Roberts Nearly all yoga styles are rooted in hatha yoga, yoga’s physical discipline that focuses on developing control of the body through asanas or poses. In Sanskrit, h a represents sun and t ha represents moon. Hatha represents the duality in life — yin and yang, masculine and feminine, darkness and light. It leads the way to balancing these opposing forces. It is the yoga of physical well­being. While all yoga styles seek to balance the body, mind, and spirit, they go about it in various ways. They may differ in how asanas are done and where they focus the attention (on mastering and holding the posture, on strict alignment, on breathing, on the flow of movement). Some will use props for the asanas; others will crank up the temperature in the room and go for the sweat. No style is better than another; it is simple a matter of personal preference. Find a teacher that you can relate to and a style that furthers your own personal growth. more on styles Liz Lark's book, Yoga for Life: Finding and Learning the Right Form of Yoga for Your Lifestyle, is a beautiful and useful addition to your yoga library. If you are wondering what style fits you, this is the book for you. Lark goes into detail about the practices of five yoga styles: viniyoga, Iyengar, astanga vinyasa, sivananda, and tantra. You'll get a good picture of what distinguishes a style, a bit about its history and philosophy, and what a typical practice entails (including detailed instructions and attractive photography of poses).

Considered to be the “spiritual capital” with which India hoped to garner material and financial support from the West, yoga was originally presented by its Eastern disseminators as “an antidote to the stresses of modern, urban, industrial life” and “a way to reconnect with the spiritual world” without having to compromise the “productive capitalist base upon which Americans [stake] their futures.”1 Though exact practitioner statistics are hard to come by, it is clear that the popularity of yoga in the U.S.
