Issn: 2321-676X Detailing Asanas in Hathayoga Pradipi
Original Article Sunil / Star International Journal, Volume 6, Issue 3(1), March (2018) ISSN: 2321-676X Available online at www.starresearchjournal.com (Star International Journal) STAR YOGA Research Journal UGC Journal No: 63023 DETAILING ASANAS IN HATHAYOGA PRADIPIKA AND GHERANDA SAMHITA- A COMPARITIVE STUDY SUNIL ALPHONSE Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Government College of Engineering, Kannur, Kerala, India. Abstract The purpose of this study is to compare Asanas or postures in two famous authentic traditional yoga texts Hathayoga pradipika and Gheranda samhitha. Asana has been derived from the root ‘as’ which means to sit. Generally the word ‘asana’ using in two contest, the body position which we adopt to sit and the object used for sitting. Most of the Traditional Yogic texts agree regarding the number of important asanas and given 84 asanas. In both Hathayoga pradipika and Gheranda samhitha asanas have been described in detail. For this the researcher studied thoroughly the available commentaries of both texts given by different commentators. There are similarities in most of the Asanas given in both these texts. In Hathayoga Pradipika 15 Asanas has been described in detail whereas in Gheranda samhitha 32 Asanas has been described. Regarding the most important asanas both texts have given the same names. The order in which asanas are arranged is also different in these traditional texts. Regarding the benefits of doing asanas, there are clear aphorisms which describes the benefits in detail. In this modern world there are hundred styles and schools of yoga which have emerged after nineteenth century due to its relevance and high demand by the people towords yoga.The researcher suggests that, It is better to stick to the traditional asanas which have been described in authentic traditional texts like Hathayoga pradipika and Gheranda samhitha instead of running behind so called brand new yoga.

Gheranda Samhita the Shiva Samhita
The Gheranda Samhita and the Shiva Samhita 78 YOGAMAGAZINE.COM YOGAMAGAZINE.COM 79 ALL MAGAZINE NOV 17.indd 78 17/10/2017 13:38 PHILOSOPHY Gheranda Samhita (GS) means Gheranda’s compendium and Shiva Samhita (SS) is Shiva’s compendium. These two texts are two of the classic texts of Hatha Yoga (the other one being the Hatha Yoga Pradipika). Lets start with the GS which is a late 17th century text and a manual of yogic practice taught by Gheranda to a student called Chanda Kapali. It has seven chapters, each one taking the practitioner deeper into the experience of yoga. The GS follows this sevenfold division of chapters by creating a seven-limbed yoga, a saptanga yoga. THESE SEVEN LIMBS ARE: Shatkarma - the actions for purification. Asana - for clarity and strength. Mudra - energy seals to focus mind and body energy flow and create appropriate attitudes for practice. Pratyahara - to withdraw the mind from external engagement with the sense fields so you can go inward. Pranayama - working with breath and breath retention to understand and expand life energy flow. This creates lightness and energetic clarity. Dhyana - these are the steps beyond dualistic mind process through Guru yoga and practices of Raja yoga. Samadhi - rests identity as a lived experience, beyond dualistic perceptual patterns, as the totality, Brahman. If you read the articles on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras you can see the similarities and distinctions. You can find the cross over with the Hatha Yoga Pradipika in the use of mudras and working with Raja yoga. This is a classic Hatha yoga text that starts from the physical experience and works with purification of body first, follows with energetic clarity and concludes with deep interiorisation to know the divine.

Yogic Techniques in Classical Hatha Yoga Texts: a Comparative Perspective
www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Yogic Techniques in Classical Hatha Yoga Texts: A Comparative Perspective (With Reference to Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Siva Samhita) Kommareddy Sravani U. Sadasiva Rao Ad-hoc Faculty Guest Faculty MA Yoga & Consciousness Department of Yoga & Consciousness Andhra University Andhra University Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract Hatha Yoga, also called as “Forceful Yoga” is a path of Yoga, whose objective is to transcend the egoic consciousness and to realize the Self, or Divine Reality. However, the psycho spiritual technology of Hatha Yoga is predominantly focused on developing the body‟s potential so that the body can withstand the onslaught of transcendental realization. Mystical states of consciousness can have a profound effect on the nervous system and the rest of the body. Nevertheless, the experience of ecstatic union occurs in the embodied state. This fact led to the development of Hatha Yoga. The founder of Hatha Yoga, Matsyendranath and his followers called, to steel the body, to bake it well, as the texts say. This paper attempts to outline the techniques and tools of Hatha Yoga mentioned in the Classical Yoga texts, viz., Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Siva Samhita. The limbs of Hatha Yoga, i.e., Shatkarmas, Asanas, Pranayama, Bandhas, Mudras, Pratyahara, Dhyana and Samadhi have been elaborated in these texts by their respective authors with minor variations in their sequence, names, methods following their own style. This paper enables the reader to overview the multitude of Hatha yoga techniques, their Sanskrit names, and sequence with reference to the classical texts of hatha yoga mentioned above.

Culturing One's Self Through Yoga
CULTURING ONE’S SELF THROUGH YOGA Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani Chairman: ICYER, Pondicherry www.icyer.com and www.rishiculture.org Abstract: All aspects of our human personality are cultured through the process of Yoga helping us evolve towards perfection until we reach the state of being ONE with the Divine Self. Yoga helps destroy the kleshas, the psychological afflictions that warp our vision, as well as it eradicates the karma bandha that prevents us from realizing our potential Divinity. Maharishi Patanjali has given us a clear road map for this evolutionary journey and has given us vital clues towards understanding both the internal and external culturing processes of Yoga. The cultural teachings of Yoga that spring forth from the antiquity of Indian culture help us in becoming “All One” by loosing our sense of individuality to gain an unparalleled sense of wholesome universality. INTRODUCTION: Yoga is the mother of all religions, cultures and sciences; the evolutionary path of cultural synthesis through which we may ultimately become the Divine itself. Indian culture is the fertile soil from which this great art and science has sprung millennia ago, and an understanding of the Indian cultural ethos is essential to know “Real Yoga”. Yoga is union/re-union, integration/re-integration, synthesis/re-synthesis and is the process as well as the goal by which we can integrate all aspects of our very being thus becoming ALL ONE. The kleshas (built in, psychological afflictions that warp our vision) and karma bandha (being caught in the action-reaction spiral) prevent us from realizing that we are the Divine Self who is beyond these imperfections (klesha karma vipaka ashayaih aparamrushta purusha vishesha ishwara – Patanjala Yoga Sutra I-24).

Therapeutic Potential of Pranayama
THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF PRANAYAMA Yogacharya Dr. ANANDA BALAYOGI BHAVANANI MBBS, ADY, DSM, DPC, PGDFH, PGDY, FIAY, CHAIRMAN: INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR YOGA EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (ICYER), Pondicherry, South India. www.icyer.com INTRODUCTION Prana is the vital life force that acts as a catalyst in all our activities and Ayama the expansion or control of this force. Thus Pranayama can be defined as the science of controlled, conscious expansion of Prana in our energy body/sheath, the Pranamaya Kosha. Gurus of Vedic times placed great importance on Pranayama and advocated its practice in order to unleash the hidden potential energy known as the Kundalini Shakti. Indian culture has always laid great emphasis on Prana and Pranayama and ancient texts say, “God is breath” as well as “Breath is life and life is breath”. Atarva Veda even states, “Prana is the fundamental basis of whatever is, was and will be”. In the Prasnopanishad we can find the following statement. “All that exists in all the three worlds is under the governance of Prana”. It is said in the Shiva-Svarodaya, “The Prana (life force) verily is one’s greatest friend, companion and there is no greater kinsman than the life force”. In the Yoga-Vashistha, Sage Vashistha says that when the energy of the life force (Prana) is restricted, then the mind dissolves, like a shadow of a thing when the thing is absent. The systematic practice of Yoga as codified by Maharishi Patanjali places Pranayama as the fourth limb or Anga of Ashtanga Yoga. He puts it above the Yama-Niyama and Asana and says that one must practice the Yama-Niyama and try to master Asana in order to be able to practice Pranayama.

Yoga‟S Spiritual Roots
Compiled by Mythri S Menon 1 [email protected] Yoga‟s Spiritual Roots What does the word “yoga” mean in Sanskrit? The word "Yoga" refers to the whole, a complete system, not merely one part, i.e., postures, or Asanas. According to the ancient sages, the entire purpose of Yoga is spiritual in nature. (Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati) The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root „yuj’ meaning to yoke, to unite, to join, to harness, and to bring together. Yoga is concerned with the science and art of being, knowing and acting/doing (Ravi Ravindra). The depth of this union is the human consciousness merging with Divine consciousness. Other words used to describe “union” are Samadhi (Bliss), Moksha (Freedom), and Nirvana (Liberation). The state of freedom is beyond the dualities of being-nonbeing, knowledge-ignorance and action-non-action. When did yoga originate? A way of living called Sanātana Dharma सनातन धर्म, a way of Eternal Living, was believed to be in existence about 100,000 years ago during Satya Yuga – Golden Age, a time of everlasting peace, abundance and Eternal Truth seekers (sages, rishis, yogis) according to archeologists‟ findings. Yoga appears to be part of this lifestyle, however was discovered only 6000 years ago. Many claim that Yoga is primordial. It has existed whenever and wherever human beings in their search for self-realization, have attempted to connect with The One (Ravi Ravindra). IN other words, Yoga arose at the beginning of human civilization when man first realized his spiritual potential. It was believed to be revealed to the rishis so that humanity could have an opportunity to realize its divine nature (Swami Satyananda Sarasvathi).

10. a Comparative Study of Yogangās in Hatha-Yoga And
INTERNATIONAL J OURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ISSN : 2277-7881 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 3, AUG 2012 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF YOGANGÂS IN HATHA-YOGA AND PATANJALI YOGA SUTRÂS Dr. K. Ramesh Babu Assistant Professor of Yoga, & Academic In-Charge Department of Yoga & Consciousness Andhra University, Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh, India A comparison between Hatha-yoga and Patanjali-yoga is worth studying owing the similarities and dissimilarities in both these systems of yoga. Strictly speaking even though the Yoga Sûtras of Patanjali is not a Hatha-yoga work, yet it provides a systematic codification of Yoga. Its principal practical doctrine revolves around Astanga Yoga (Yoga of Eight-limbs) system viz., Yama, Niyama, Âsana, Prânâyâma, Pratyâhâra, Dhârana, Dhyâna and Samâdhi. Similar Astanga yoga system is broadly adhered to by most of the Hatha-yoga treatises. The distinction between the two systems is primarily due to the fact that Patanjali-yoga is paired with the Samkhya system and they mutually shed light upon their philosophies by complimenting each other unlike Hatha-yoga. Secondly, we have neither textual evidence which provides any explicit reference to Hatha-yoga in Patanjali Yoga Sûtras nor do we have any explicit reference to Patanjali’s Yoga system in any of the principal hatha-yoga manuals. Despite their great similarity in their schemes, the Patanjali Yoga Sûtras do not elaborate the hatha-yoga techniques described in hatha-yoga manuals. The first major difference between Patanjali-Yoga and Hatha-yoga manuals is that the latter do not consider the necessity of the practice of Yama and Niyama which precede the rest of the limbs according to Patanjali.
