Patanjanli Maharshi – biography
Patanjali is the father of yoga, which is gaining popularity
all over the world today. Yoga, Yoga Asanas, Meditation on the Breath,
Pranayama etc. are all based on the Yoga Sutras explained by Patanjali.
Although modern Western historians consider Patanjali to have belonged to a
region around 200 BC, according to our Indian Panchagala calculations,
Patanjali lived a little closer to the dream that Sri Krishna lived. That is
almost over 5000 years from now! It is an indisputable fact that all Indian
scientists are much earlier than the calculations of Western historians. The
Indians somehow realized that physical and mental health combined to be perfect
health. Ayurveda for physical health and yoga for mental health is considered
by Indian sages as the best ways. Coordinating the two, Patanjali performed his
yoga sutras. There are 8 levels in the Patanjali Yoga Surats. These are also
known as conditions. There are 8 chapters in the form of a book. They are 1)
Yama 2) Niyama 3) Anasa 4) Pranayama 5) Pratyahara 6) Dharana 7) Dhyana 8)
Samadhi. Patanjali theorized that there are six major nervous systems in the
human body called the six chakras. He is able to stay alive because of the life
force that is in the human being. The human body naturally produces energy by
inducing that life force through certain methods. This is the energy of the
emanating energy. Patanjali said that by stimulating the Kundalini energy, one
can not only attain physical health but also attain Brahmanubhuti in the state of
Samadhi with self-realization. Patanjali's third level asana has been codified
by the aforementioned principles of Yama and Niyama. It is a privilege to admit
in research and self-experience that moderns who live their lives under extreme
stress find so much peace of mind.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras (Ashtanga Yoga)
1) Yamamu: Yamamu is the process of regularizing the mind and
body in a certain way which is chaotic and confusing.
2) Rule: That is, to prepare the body and mind for yoga
practice, food, habits, etc., to establish the necessary rules and discipline.
3) Asana: Asana is a popular form of yoga asana, halasanam,
garudasanam, shirshasanam as many yogasanas are mistaken for Westerners. In
fact, all these asanas are practiced by the practitioner at the level of Yama,
Niyama. In fact, the asana mentioned by Patanjali means to be connected with
the mind and soul and to be stable. This is called Sthirasukhasanam.
6) Retention: Retention is the retention of the mind in the
omnipresent God. Usually, the mind is not fixed on a subject even for a moment.
The retention is to stabilize such a fickle mind by stabilizing it through a
systematic yoga bass process and engaging in transcendence.
7) Meditation: The meditative state is the state in which the
mind, which is engaged in transcendence, is at rest in a single state of
remembrance of otherworldly things.
8) Samadhi: Samadhi means to attain, for whatever purpose the
practitioner has practiced and followed Ashtanga Yoga, the state of samadhi is
to attain or attain that goal, said Patanjali. Patanjali embodied many of these
yoga secrets in his Yoga Sutras. The contents of this book are to be practiced
and experienced in daily life, but little can be learned from mere reading.
Maharshi Yoga Pungavadu Patanjali is an invaluable book that introduces the
spiritual and yoga aspects to the people of the world as well as to the people
of the world.
4) Pranayama: Pranayama is the regulation of all bodily
reactions. Breathing yoga techniques such as observing the breath and meditating
with the breath fall into this category of pranayama. These four disciplines
have just come to some understanding among Westerners and are attracting
attention. The next four chapters are beautiful to the intellect of Westerners.
That is why it is unknown to many even among modern Indians.
5) Pratyaharamu: Indians have somehow learned the truth that
a human being is separate from the body. If even Westerners can accept this
truth, then the Ashtanga Yoga teachings of Patanjali are understandable. Otherwise, it is likely to be mistaken for a fictional work. This means turning backward
as a precaution. That is to say, Pratyahara is to divert the running mind in
various ways and connect it with the intellect in the heart.
