Happy World Yoga Day!
Yoga means to connect. Yoga is a special action, yoga works to connect the relationship between human consciousness and the body. The relationship between the mind and the brain is called yoga. Yoga is believed to increase peace of mind as well as increase immunity. Yoga is considered as the basis of meditation, there are many dimensions of yoga such as physical health, mental health, knowledge, renunciation, asceticism.
Let's talk openly about the mainstream facts, history, and practice of this yoga, which contains 195 yoga sutras started by a Mahatma named Patanjali thousands of years ago. Patanjali's formulas for yoga practice have been translated into almost all languages of the world. Yoga was first explained by Vyas and later by Bachaspati Mishra. Hemchandra, a Jain guru, also used yoga as a form of religious meditation, and Swami Vivekananda's contribution to the spread of yoga practice in the West in the 19th century is significant. Even in the Muslim community, it has been used as an indifference to the Yoga Sutras.
The Yoga Sutras are credited to Adiyogi Lord Shiva. The yoga practices that started from Shiva have come to us through generations of Saptarrishis. According to architectural studies, the idol of Lord Shiva in a meditation posture is considered to be the oldest. There is an idol of Mahavira Jain meditating. Another basis of yoga is the meditation idol of Lord Buddha, this idol is considered world famous. According to another statement, credit for yoga is given to Lord Krishna. Among the many names of Lord Krishna, Yogeshwar is also worshiped. Even UNESCO has registered yoga as its intangible cultural heritage since 2016.
World Yoga Day is celebrated on the 21st of June every year. Sadguru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi are among the inaugural personalities of this Yoga Day which was started to be celebrated in 2014. This formula of Yoga Day has been established by the United Nations itself and yoga have been taken as the index of development of the century. The world community understands that development and prosperity are not possible without personal peace and health.
Modern medicine attaches great importance to post-disease treatment and physical aspects, while yoga practice focuses on peace of mind, self-control, purification of the mind and spirituality, as well as positive decentralization of human strength and mind. Since the value of one's importance and presence in one's eyes is awakened through yoga, yoga is also the only simple and easy way to increase mental illness and self-esteem. We have found in various books and articles on the subject of yoga that it is clear that yoga can help to satisfy the mind beyond time and can also give a deep knowledge of the purpose of life. Yoga is not only an exercise but also the basis, philosophy, and reality of life. Plenty of books and examples illustrate the fact that from Gautama Buddha to Christ, from Shiva to Krishna, and various other philosophy-centered Mahatmas practiced yoga during their lifetimes.
Since yoga is a really deep subject, it cannot be defined by loose words and explanations, however, the importance of yoga is abundant in all of us in today's hectic life. The money we earn, the car, the body, the beauty, and the affluence will go away with time but our spiritual purity, thoughts, and positive waves will last forever. From billionaires to saints, we all need to answer with our hands on our chests; Is there peace in our lives? Are we happy?
Human nature is beyond self-control, it is a creature indulging in greed, lust, and indulgence for material gain, the human being is the only creature in the world who spends money for food all his life, it does not apply to other creatures. But the real value of life and the pure concept of peace is far beyond material achievement. This does not mean that in order to adopt yoga, one has to become a saint by staying away from the material world, but by practicing yoga and really understanding the importance of yoga, we are sure to be successful and healthy even in daily life and health. Yoga is essential for an egalitarian world, yoga is life, and let's study more about it, adopt it, and achieve a happy and peaceful life.
Happy World Yoga Day!
