  • Detoxification and Traditional Hatha Yoga(New)
    Detoxification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda By Mas Vidal Introduction The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP) is a unique text of the Nath yogis that enumerates some interesting methods for purifying the body. Swami Svatmarama, the chief disciple of Swami Goraknath authored it during the medieval period. Evidently, Matsyendranath, founder of the Nath (synonym for Shiva) cult along with Goraknath understood clearly the importance of mind- body purification as requisites for spiritual evolution and thus created a six-fold system (shat- karma) of detoxification. This popular yoga text is composed of four chapters. In brief, the first chapter deals with postural yoga (asana); chapter two deals with the six actions of purification (shatkarma and pranayama); chapter three describes the physical gestures and energy locks (mudras and bandhas), and chapter four discusses spiritual liberation (samadhi). The placement of the shat-karmas (purification practices) in the second chapter prior to the last chapter on samadhi (liberation) indicates the importance of having a clean bodily house to attain spiritual freedom. This article highlights the correlation the detoxifying actions described in chapter two of the HYP with those mentioned in the main Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita. Interestingly, the HYP methods have much in common with those used in Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of self-healing. Similarly, Ayurvedic mastermind Charaka, devised a five-fold system (pancha karma) for purification of the doshas (vata, pitta & kapha) to improve the mind-body relationship. The concept of detoxification, which boldly appears in both yoga and ayurvedic systems, demonstrates a long history of inter-connectedness between the two sciences.

  • Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions 1
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 3: Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract Marma Science is an extremely important branch of Ayurveda. Marma points are important vital places in the body, that are the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). As any injury to these parts may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death, therefore, they hold an important place in the science of surgery, wherein they are considered ‘Shalya Vishayardha’ (half of the entire science of surgery). The ancient scriptures have strictly directed against causing any injury to these vital spots. However, recent researches have attempted the stimulation of Marma points for theraputic benefits, with encouraging outcomes. In view of these mutually conflicting, importance applications of Marma Science, the present study was undertaken for its in-depth study. Part-1 of this study presented the information about different aspects of Marma Science in various ancient / classical Indian scriptures. Part-2 gave a detailed description of the number of marmas, their location, structures involved, classification, effect of trauma, etc., as per classical texts, as well as correlation with modern science.

  • Father Joe's Meditation Protocol
    FATHER JOE’S MEDITATION PROTOCOL BASED ON THE IYENGAR METHOD OF YOGA INSPIRED BY MOTHER TERESA - 1 - INTRODUCTION The Covid 19 pandemic is probably unprecedented in human history bring- ing a crisis of public health, a crisis of leadership, a moral crisis with inequity between people, and a crisis of livelihoods all at the same time. The lockdowns have resulted in grave mental health issues, family separations and tensions. The patients affected by COVID -19 have faced fear and an overwhelming tsunami of inflammation occurring in the body leading to admission in intensive care in the hospital. Father Joe Pereira has been teaching us Meditation since the last 34 years We requested him to have an 8 day Meditation retreat in July 2020.The idea of doing these asanas is to provide some solution to depression and other “lockdown” mental health issues. The protocol helps bring resilience, hope and connection to the atman – the strength of the innermost being. Meditation also brings the effect of reducing inflammation. Both hypertension and diabetes are co-morbid- ities associated with greater risks in the pandemic. The cytokine rush syndrome has inflammation at the root of the grave complications of Covid 19. Participants reported a fall in their blood sugar, blood pressure, resting heart rate or their use of insulin which signal a relaxation response. Father Joe draws on the teachings of Guru BKS Iyenger, inspiration from Mother Teresa whom he had worked together for many years. He uses the scientific studies by Harvard’s Herbert Benson and scientists Eddie Weitzburg and Jon Lundberg of Karolinska Institute in Sweden on their work on Nitric oxide in breathing to heal the body.
