According to Pandit Shri Ram Sharma Acharya:- Yoga is the art of living life. Purpose of yoga The purpose of yoga is to develop our life overall. Holistic development means physical, mental, moral, spiritual and social development. Yoga gives us mental health, wellness and freedom from ill thoughts. Which makes our life high and divine. Under Ashtanga Yoga, along with our body purification, our character purification measures have been described. Yama, Niyam purifies our behavior and character and makes it sattvik. After that physical health can be achieved by Aasan Pranayama. The primary purpose of pratyahara is Sanyam in life. Mental health is attained by dharna,meditation and samadhi. Samadhi is an excellent state of meditation. By which self-realization can be done. The aim of samadhi is attainment of Moksha, which is the ultimate goal of man. Kriya Yoga: - (Tapa, Swadhyaya, Ishwar,Pranidhan) The purpose of Kriya Yoga described in the Patanjal Yoga Sutra is the attainment of Karmayoga, Bhakti Yoga and Gyan Yoga. A person becomes karmayogi by adopting Tapa and performing Karmas . Swadhyaya leads to the attainment of knowledge and Ishvarpranidhan leads to devotion. Importance of yoga Yoga is the oldest knowledge of this Aryavarta. This is a science provided by our sages, who is capable of uplift the knowledge of human being. It is possible to meet the soul with the divine through yoga. The practice of this yoga saadhna would lead to self-realization. Yoga has importance in many areas, which is described as follows: - (1) Physical importance: - Yoga practice has an important role in physical health. In Ashtanga Yoga, the third, fourth limb, aasana and pranayama provide physical health. Physical powers can be developed with yogasanas. Which makes the body strong. The endocrine system is affected by yoga and the glands are balanced. With pranayama, pure air enters our body and increases the vitality and by exhaling a large amount of foreign matter comes out, the blood is purified, the mind is concentrated. 2 INTRODUCTION TO YOG www.vedamrita.com “ Na tasya rogon na jra na mrityu Praptsya yogagnimay shariram “ The person who meditated his body in the fire of yoga, does not have any disease in the body of the person, neither does the symptoms of old age appear, nor does he die untimely. (2) Mental importance: - One can get mental health by yoga. In modern society, increasing mental illness is becoming terrible . Modern science is unable to solve them. The practice of yoga keeps control on the mind. Mental concentration can be attained by reducing the spasticity of the mind. Mental diseases arise from the mind. If the mind is healthy, the body is also healthy. The mind affects the body. Because what is in our mind only appears in the body. Toxic chemical production is produced in the blood due to the intense charge of anger,with which the power of man is destroyed, old age comes. Maharishi Patanjali has described the saadhna of such Chitta Prasadam under yoga practice. Which makes our mind clean. Life becomes stress free and mental concentration increases. (3)Spiritual importance: - The aim of human life is to attain moksha. The medium of moksha is our mind . Our mind is the cause of bondage and moksha.

With yoga, a person gets rid of mental illness and gets high thoughts . There is divinity in the action and thoughts , so that he can serve the society with sincerity. (6) Economic importance: - When a person attains physical health, then he can make his economic level higher than his own. By becoming more diligent and karmayogi, man can earn more money by expanding his business. Yoga not only saves the expense of healing, but also makes you mentally strong. Yoga instructors are being appointed in the schools and colleges, who are taking money from yoga education.

  • Nitya Karma Or Daily Duty
    Satsanga with Sri Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati Arsha Vidya Gurukulam NITYA-KARMA, OBLIGATORY DUTIES िनािन - अकरण े ूवायसाधनािन सावनादीिन॥ nityāni - akaraṇe pratyavāyasādhanāni sandhyāvandanādīni. Daily rites, such as the sandhyāvandana the non-performance of which causes harm, are called nitya-karma [Vedāntasāra, 9]. Nitya-karma are daily obligatory duties described as sandhyāvandanādini, such as sandhyāvanda. Typically, a person worships three times a day at particular times called sandhya. Sandhya means sandhi or the time when there is a joining or transition in the hours of the day or night. Such times are considered to be auspicious for prayers. There is a morning sandhya or prāta-sandhya, when there is a transition from night to the dawning of day. There is an evening sandhya, the sāyam-sandhyā, when there is a transition from day to night. Then there is the noon sandhya called madhya- sandhya, when the sun is at its zenith, and it is the period of transition when the first half of the day ends and the second half begins. Prāta, madhyan, and sāyam are thus three times of ‘joining’, which are considered to be auspicious times for the performance of prayers. Typically, a boy is initiated into the ritual of the sandhyāvandanam, which consists of making certain offerings, prayers, and chanting the gāyatrī-mantra. A human being is born with three kinds of debts The concept of nitya-karma comes from a sense of obligation. This concept was mentioned at the beginning of this text when it was said that even at birth we enjoy various privileges.

It is not the cheap and superficial devotion of materialistic simpletons, but the pure love of those selfless souls who have come to this level through the path already traced by Krishna in the previous chapters. Such path is so sublime, simple and clear that it can be followed successfully by everyone, including those who are less qualified materially in terms of erudition, austerity, ritual purity and so on. In chapter 1, Krishna utilized the disillusionment expressed by Arjuna to move our attention from the ordinary material concerns to the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and realization. In chapter 2, Krishna clearly explained what is the difference between the temporary material body and the eternal transcendental spirit soul, called atman. In chapter 3, the yoga of action is explained, by which we can work on the spiritual level while still living in the material body and world - performing our duties selflessly, as an act of worship to the Supreme, or yajna (sacred action). This could be called the ABC of Self realization.

This book contains well over a hundred edifying parables of our Acharyal compiled by a disciple and grouped over 97 heads. The sources of the parables are Acharyal’s benedictory addresses and His private conversations with the disciple. Following are the minor liberties that have been taken in the preparation of the text: 1. Parables narrated by Acharyal in more than one benedictory address have been grouped under a single head. 2. In rare cases, names have been given to the characters of a story even when Acharyal did not do so during His talk with the disciple. 3. Where Acharyal has narrated more than one version of a story, information from all the versions have been utilised. 7 We are glad in publishing the digital version of this book and offering it to all for free-download in commemoration of the birth-centenary of His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal.
