Heartwarming to know that yoga asanas are practiced by millions all over the world. It really speaks to the way it makes one feel and the (w)holistic benefits. As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, I am witnessing how the popularity of the asanas eventually led people to Yoga's sister science Ayurveda (the science of self-healing) - what a great trend - developing the understanding and practicing how to care for oneself, building one's immunity, and health of body, mind & spirit. May the yogic sciences continue to spread far and wide. Aum Namah Shivaya ~
Brief history of Yoga, along with the many different aspects and teaching styles of Yoga. Very good overview to spark interest and begin discovering Yoga.
Yes, this is a small introduction to the history of yoga, but it is much, much, much more extensive and broader. Even the yoga of the last 200 years is so much more than what is shown here.
Thank u so very much. For compiling these, it’ll help our generation to know wt they r doing n to choose. If possible Plz make one video abt HATHA YOGA in details, so people can know more abt it.
there was evidence of a fully developed practice of yoga dated back to 15,000 BCE. It's not attributed to any one individual but rather to the natural development within a culture
" Yoga means union, the science of union. Meditation is the most supreme phenomenon as far as union with reality is concerned. Meditation is the god of yoga. But yoga has fallen into wrong hands, and not only recently - for centuries it has been in the wrong hands. The original fault must be with the founder, Patanjali himself. Patanjali has divided yoga into eight parts. His division is clear-cut, very scientific, but he was not really aware of human stupidity. He started with the body - and that's the right way to start. The first part of yoga must be physiological because man lives on the circumference, in the body, so the work has to start there, only then can it reach the mind. And when one has gone beyond the body and beyond the mind, then the third, meditation, happens. So according to Patanjali the first part belongs to the body. But he was not clearly aware that millions of people would remain entangled with the first part. Hence yoga has become synonymous with yoga postures: people standing on their heads and doing all sorts of contortions. That has become synonymous with yoga. It is not a true yoga, it is just the preface, the introductory part; and the person who thinks the introduction is the whole book is idiotic. But Patanjali did not warn people. If he had warned people it would have been better. People like Patanjali believe in others' intelligence - which is not there! They trust. Their trust is immense, their trust is as immense as people's stupidity is! They respect people's intelligence. So he did not warn people, but the warning was absolutely necessary: 'Don't get entangled in the physiological part.' A few people, only very few - if a hundred people become interested in yoga then only one person will get out of the physiological entanglement. And that one person will become entangled in the psychological. If a hundred persons are entangled in the psychological then only one person gets out of it...and only when you get out of the mind does the real yoga begin. The physiological part of yoga will give you great physiological powers; it can make you live a really long, healthy life. But what are you going to do with a long life? If you are idiotic, instead of being idiotic for seventy years you will be idiotic for two hundred years. It is not going to help anybody; it will be a calamity. There was a man called Nadir Shah - one of the most notorious, murderous men in the whole history of humanity. He invaded India at least one hundred and eight times. He killed more people in India than anybody else. And he had his own ways of torturing: he would put the whole town on fire and surround the town with his army so nobody could escape - and he would enjoy it! This man asked an astrologer, because he had heard of his fame, 'What do you say? What is your advice? - should a man live long, very long, or should one live only the average, seventy years?' The astrologer must have been a really wise man. He said, 'It all depends. If a man like you lives long, it is bad, it is unfortunate. In the first place a man like you should not be born; and in the second place, if he is born, then he should die immediately. And in the third place, if he manages to live somehow, then the sooner he dies, the better!' Nadir Shah was very angry. This was the first man who had not bothered about his murderous attitude, this was the first man who had said the truth as it was. Nadir Shah said 'I will kill you!' The astrologer said 'That doesn't matter - you can kill me, but I have to tell the truth. The truth is that if men like you do live, they should sleep twenty-four hours a day and drink as much as they can!' Nadir Shah was so shocked but the man was so truthful that even Nadir Shah had to leave him alone. Even he could not gather courage to kill such a man. He felt shaken and he remembered him again and again: 'What a man! Almost a dragon! He made me tremble - the way he looked at me and the way he said things. I had never expected anybody would have such courage.' But he respected the astrologer. Yoga can make a person live long, but what will you do? That physiological part should not be paid so much attention. Yes, a little bit is good to keep physically fit, but just a little bit; otherwise it is a vast jungle. One can be lost in its subtleties, in its complexities. The second part is even vaster than the physiological. If you get into it you can have many psychic powers, you can read people's thoughts. But what is the point? Your own rubbish is so much, what is the point of reading somebody else's rubbish? He is tortured by his rubbish and you are reading his thoughts - and you think you are doing something great! The real thing is to get rid of thoughts, not to read them. One even has to get rid of one's own thoughts; what is the point of reading other people's thoughts? And what is there? You can stand by the side of the road and you can see a man is walking along and thinking of his dog - so what? If you listen to people's thoughts, what will you find? Somebody is thinking of his cow, somebody is thinking of his buffalo, somebody is thinking of his wife, somebody is thinking of somebody else's wife! And you are thinking what they are thinking! Maybe the other person is also a yogi and is reading somebody else's thoughts. Then things become very complicated! The physiological part is ordinary, the psychological part is ordinary. Both can give power, but power is not the goal of meditation. Power is politics, all kinds of power is politics. And power corrupts - all kinds of power - it corrupts unconditionally and absolutely. It always corrupts. Hence I say the only essential thing, the real core of all religion, of all yoga, of all methods of search, is meditation. One should put aside everything non-essential. You can use things as stepping stones, but not more than that - just like jumping boards. You need not bother too much about them. Your whole concern should be one-pointed; you should move like an arrow towards meditation. Only then in this small life, with so little time, power and energy available and with so many problems surrounding you, can you hope that the arrow will reach the target. The moment you know something of meditation - not about it, but the very taste of it - a great release comes. a great relief comes. Suddenly all tensions disappear: anxieties, anguishes, are found no more. Even if you want them just for a change, you cannot find them. I have tried and failed! Sometimes I try very hard to find some anxiety but I cannot, it simply does not work. I have tried all possible ways, from this side and that side, but I come to the same end: it does not work. Once you have tasted meditation it is impossible for you to be in any misery. Bliss becomes inevitable, a natural showering, and it goes on showering like flowers showering from the sky."
🌹🌹🌹Buddhism is not yoga !!! Buddhism is all about nirwana end of life journey!!! Yoga is all about increasing chrakra power !!! If a Buddhist should cut the hair ! If a yogi never cut the hair!!! When you put your hair like a crown it's call the crown chakra!!! Crown chakra is the chrakra for divinity!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹when you have the hair you don't become divine but when you are in the right track hire affect for your divinity!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Lots of things are "here to stay." The terms "Swastika and Arayan" are associated with evil; a Guru is just any expert; Karma is just anything, etc. When will Hindus wake up and gain some guts to stand up for the Hindu/Yoga Dharma?
Details? Didnt you just watch it? Are you looking for coles notes so you dont have to watch it? Although it says discovery channel at the end, detail, if you watched it.
This is an incredibly fluffy documentary, produced by Discovery Channel India, not its American counterpart. Maybe that's why it feels like an infomercial for yoga as a whole. No pros and cons, no context of the religious environment it came from, just celebrity endorsements (the prime minister himself), beautiful people, and businesspeople touting the benefits of their particular school of yoga, which you can sign up for for a small fee. There's a bit of history which is useful, but it feels very slanted to make yoga look good. Which makes sense given that India's nationalist prime minister was apparently involved in the project. They hint at a few controversies but never explore them---I don't feel like I got a real overview of the topic since they were trying to sell me on it the whole time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lol yoga comes from Hinduism idiot. Go and read rig Veda which are the oldest scriptures. It mentions yoga. Go and read Mahabharata and Geeta. It mentions yoga
Meditation or something yoga, this is of course of Paganism, Animism, Gnosticism, Light and Sound Religion, Soul Awareness Travel religion- all of these paths can be travelled by non-Parenter Types. Of the Twelve become Eleven Religions, only Animism/Paganism really can be found by non-Borledim, or Parenter Types- as also, by Creative, Artistic, Mystic and other Types. The last three I mentioned are Anterior to that Projection into 12. Christianity was removed; it isn't possible for any to find that path, nor its gods, Christ and Barbhelon; any of its angels, etc.. Necewef and Viraj are more or less the same, but can be found by those of the paths which currently can exist. Redeemer and Saviour also, Omketcecwyeq and Branwen, for the Celtic Channel. The Redeemer god Memkixu, that for the Frisian, Anglican or English Channel is no longer there; is not anyplace to find. One thinks to meditate, and most probably, whether aware of it or not, one is trying to meditate in "American" or in English mode; both have been Removed. Perhaps one gives up, after maybe five minutes. Possibly, without admitting this consciously, they find some way to Shift, which leads to more energy and renewal- but I don't know if this is very widespread. Best, I say, to consciously be aware of this issue; the Removal of the conceptual entities called America and U.S.A., as also the actual entities English and Britain. They were only conceptual, the first two; using the English language, that means, tuning in on the English subtle "Channel", which no longer exists. Most were Celts, in both lands, cultural victims then of Frisian hegemony and aspiring combination. This evidences that inhabitants of the land should examine some basic issues; I say, the Name of the land should be officially changed to Nova Scotia, or Alba Nuadh, its true Name; the language to Scottish Gaelic. Less of outer ordinance, Thejerexzen Yoga is how to make indicated Shifts; it is possible not to have the condition of very incredibly low vitality, which comes with makeshift or imposed language and National decisions. One should not believe in the "American Revolution", forsake the Frisian language; the more past lives you've had as English and/or American, the greater the travail this situation can cause you, probably...
Yoga started in Africa..y'all both are wrong.... everything originated in Africa the Indians got it from us and then they went to China and spread it there .. Africa is the most oldest nation where everything originated from.afticans are the oldest people on this planet they don't want y'all to know this ..we birth humanity y'all took our gods and made them y'all own ...also we migrated all over this planet and other hybrids of people was birth from us ..
