Every situation which has bothered you, you are supposed to identify that situation, give an answer to that situation and see that it does not pile up .  This is the best management.  In the morning you had an argument with your boss and you could not shout back at him, so you kept quiet, however you did get hurt.  You returned home, argued with your wife or somehow released your tensions.  But you have not yet solved the problem. Now before going to bed maybe you could just close your eyes and analyze the situation.  Then you could philosophize and answer it.  Well, boss is justified for his behavior because maybe that is the only way that he can get the work done and this is his way of managing his employees.  So you could answer that, well, anybody who is behaving in anyway is justified. The thing here is that 'you don’t label it as wrong', because you put yourself in the boss’s situation, and then try to understand it.  Somehow bring all that logic, reasoning, and understan...

It is not generally known that tartar and decomposing material tend to collect on the root of the tongue and are often more responsible for foul breath than stomach conditions. Most persons do not know that the base of the tongue is often the place from where bad breath arises. So it is just as imperative to scrape the tongue well as to cleanse the teeth and the mouth.  In diagnosis, it is an accepted medical fact that the condition of the tongue acts as an index of the state of health of the alimentary canal more truly than other external organs. It is held by the Yogins that the neglected and therefore, unhealthy tongue likewise reacts unfavourably on the alimentary canal. The yoga practice of Jihvamulasodhanam or the cleansing of the root of the tongue consists of reaching the back of the tongue, as far as one can, and thus removing with the finger-tips whatever mucus and phlegm deposits that may have accumulated there.  The practice of brushing the tongue and the root of the to...

Pranayama is the controlling of Prana or the “life essence of the universe”. A great deal of misunderstanding, however, seems to exist in relation to the various practices of this science. Some call it the Science of breath, while some call it the control of psychic Prana . But the truth is that it is both: physical as well as mental. In Sanskrit, Prana literally means Life ; it is also supposed to mean Breath. It is the sum total of all cosmic energy. It is the vital force in our body that moves us to action.“From thought to the lowest physical force, everything is but the manifestation of the Prana ” (Swami Vivekananda). It is the “ potential energy which remains constant, no matter what changes take place around us; it is eternal and infinite ” (Tyndall, Fragments of Science). This is what the Yogis know to be, as Cosmic Prana . This all-pervading cosmic energy, when it becomes limited in a certain body is called the individual Prana or the kinetic energy (finite) that manifests...

Dear friends,   Namaste! Almost all my life I have eaten pure Ayurvedic food . Being an Indian, born in a traditional family and also being a Yoga Teacher the Ayurvedic food suits my mind, body and my lifestyle. It was a fortune that I have learnt so much with my mother.

Understanding Yoga as on of the Indian systems of philosophy; Understanding Yoga as a path for Self-realization; Understanding Yoga as way of life; Understanding Yoga in its entirety (not just taking one part of it). All of the above is meant when we say Classical or Traditional Yoga. Raja Yoga can also be called as Ashtanga Yoga or Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga. So lets understand what is Raja Yoga or Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga in brief: Raja literally means 'king' or 'royal'. Raja Yoga may refer to one of the paths of Yoga amongst the 4 valid paths; the other 3 paths being Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga . But in reality it is the culmination of all Yogic disciplines and efforts. So Raja Yoga actually refers to the highest states of Yoga. Patanjali, was a great sage who systematized the entire path of Yoga in his 195 sutras . And, in this way he has contributed to the human society this great work on spirituality and human psychology. Raja Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga consis...

The emphasis is on the attitude and on consciousness. Maintaining a certain attitude constantly leads to a corresponding awareness which again leads to being established in this awareness at the time. That is why being involved in work is qualified by the statement “a right attitude”. Work by itself is not what is suggested . To turn this work into worship will require change in the attitude. The usual suggestions here are faith, duty, service and concentration. This immediately puts the mind in a different state. There is a worshipful attitude, dedication and much spiritual gain. In fact one who has reached such state and remains all the time in this state can very well claim the highest achievement for himself, i.e., self-actualization. Do it - Why do we go on talking about right and wrong; good and evil? Newton talking about his work said it is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Those who talk of right or wrong spend 99% in talking and 1% implementing. The Gita wants us to work ...
