Yoga for health, peace, and harmony. The word “yoga” is the result of joining. A simple question may be, what is the result of joining what with what? Yes, it is a better result than the result of joining a number + a number or an object + an object! The result of connecting the living body + mind + soul, + supreme soul (God)through a spiritual method is a peaceful, happy, and healthy life. I would like to give some examples to clarify this.
“Yoga for health.” The solution to many physical and mental problems caused by modern lifestyle is hidden in yoga. In the present era, efforts can be seen from many fields to reveal this hidden secret, but it is not believed that the exercises done here and there without principles and rules give full benefits. Therefore, let’s practice yoga within the scope of principles and rules and take full benefits.
Benefits of regular yoga in physical health
Regular yoga practice makes the body flexible and strong. It improves blood circulation, strengthens the digestive system, and increases immunity. Yoga is considered very effective in managing and preventing chronic diseases like back pain, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. But let’s practice only in strict accordance with the rules.
Benefits in mental health. In today’s increasingly hectic life, stress, anxiety, and depression have become common problems. Yoga, especially pranayama and meditation, calms and stabilizes the mind. It increases concentration, removes negative thoughts, and helps maintain emotional balance. Yoga teaches us to live a good life in the present, which provides mental peace.
Yoga for health peace and harmony
Yoga rises above personal health and shows the path to social and global peace and harmony. In this difficult era, every person is restless and unhappy. Similarly, the family, society, country, and the whole world is suffering from a flood of mutual conflict, non-cooperation, and dissatisfaction; yoga and meditation have become weapons for peace.
Inner peace: When a person is calm within himself, only then can he spread peace in the outside world. Yoga increases self-awareness and teaches us to control negative emotions like anger, hatred, and jealousy. This inner peace is the foundation of world peace.
Universal Harmony: Yoga knows no boundaries of religion, caste, nation, or culture. It is for all humanity. When people from different countries come together on the same day, at the same time, through yoga, the spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) is realized. It conveys the message of human unity while respecting cultural differences and creates an atmosphere of harmony across the world.
Our Vedic tradition of maintaining health, peace, and harmony in the family, community, and country through yoga and meditation is very old. We have been following it with full faith that yoga and meditation were gifted to humanity by Mahadev Shiva with the creation of the world, and were written down by Maharishi Patanjali. To make it easy for people to study and benefit from them, I present some rules made by Maharishi Patanjali. The eight limbs of yoga that should be practiced regularly
Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dhyana, and Samadhi. These are the eight limbs of yoga. I will present these 8 limbs in a special and detailed manner in the upcoming articles. Now I will discuss these 8 limbs briefly by dividing them into internal and external sections. It is very important and worth studying, so pay deep attention, read, and practice. 1. External part: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, and Ashtanga Yoga are considered to be the external parts of Yoga. External Yoga is necessary for the practice of the external aspects of the body. Various physical exercises that make the body’s organs strong and healthy.
2. Internal part? Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi are the internal aspects of Ashtanga Yoga. These are self-contained, so their perfection is achieved through self-reflection. Samadhi can be reached through Dharana Dhyana, and this is achieved only by special Siddha Yogis. It is found that ordinary people and householders have to work a little harder. Therefore, we householders should gradually practice. will write a complete description of each part in the next article, so that you can study the detailed description of each part.
Yoga Day in Nepal
The Himalayan region and Nepal have special significance as the birthplace of yoga and meditation. Lord Shiva is considered the Adiyogi (first yogi), and our holy land is known as the austerity of sages. Therefore, International Yoga Day is celebrated with special enthusiasm in Nepal. Various programs, group yoga practices, discourses, and awareness programs are organized at the government and non-government levels. This has helped in reviving Nepal’s ancient yoga tradition and spreading its importance internationally.
Brief Conclusion
International or National Yoga Day is not just a day of celebration; it is a day of commitment to adopt a healthy, peaceful, and balanced lifestyle. It is a powerful tool given by Eastern philosophy to face the challenges of the modern world. It teaches us that our health and happiness are not in external objects, but within ourselves. Let us practice regularly and become happy, peaceful, and pleasant.
Therefore, let us all make yoga an integral part of our daily lives. Let us take June 21 as an inspirational day and move forward on the journey of building a healthy body, a peaceful mind, and a harmonious society. Let us find ourselves through yoga and contribute to the creation of a beautiful world by becoming better people and attracting families and communities to yoga. I will write in detail about the Ashtanga yoga, but now I want to take a break.
