EIGHT LIMBS OF YOGA
School of Santhi Yoga School in India and Europe

Eight limbs of Yoga
all spiritual aspirants has to be aware of:

Sage Patanjali has clearly described these eight limbs of Yoga in his Yoga Sutras.

1. YAMAS
Yamas are five restraints a spiritual aspirant has to be aware of:

•  Non-Violence
•  Truth
•  Honesty
•  Continence
•  Non-Possession

2. NIYAMAS
Niyamas are the five observances:

•  Cleanliness
•  Contentment
•  Self Study
•  Tapas (heating up)
•  Surrender to a higher principle creating Universe

3. YOGA ASANAS
Yoga Asanas are different physical exercises or postures for keeping the body fit and comfortable.

4. PRANA YAMA
Prana means vital force. Yama means control. Prana Yama thus means control of vital force. In beings the vital force operates through the process of breathing.

Puraka, Rechaka and Kumbhaka are the three functions in the process of breathing.

Puraka means filling and indicates the inspiration which nourishes the system with Prana.

Rechaka means emptying which indicates expiration.

Kumbhaka is the retention or pause between inhalation and exhalation and between exhalation and inhalation.

In Prana Yama there are innumerable techniques to establish control over the vital force.

5. PRATYAHARA
Pratyahara means withdrawal of senses from
external information.

6. DHARANA
Dharana means concentration. Entertaining a particular thought for a particular period of time is concentration.

7. DHYANA
Dhyana means meditation. Meditation is when the mind starts to flow to the point of attention continuously for a long period of time without strain or effort.

8. SAMADHI
Samadhi means integration. Integration is a state wherein the subject, object and the process become one.

Silence

exists before the word.
The word exists in silence.

Being in silence and witnessing
the words is the essence
of Satsang.

Spell out the words and allow them
to withdraw into silence.

Satsang happens in an
atmosphere of love and compassion.

This is an
evening meditation session.

I have committed myself to be available always for all of you and share whatever I have understood during the course of journey of my life, both in the Indian spiritual Yoga traditions and beyond, as a seeker if it is of help for you. What we need in this world is few individuals who could commit themselves to explore their own inner world! It is really difficult to find few of them. However, I commit myself to be available always!
