Yoga & Tantra
Ayurveda,Yoga & Tantra are all
part of the ancient life
disciplane that have been
practiced in India for centur-
ies.They find mention in the
scriptures of the Vedas and
Upanishads.Yoga is the science
of the union with the Divine
,with truth;tantra is the most
direct method of controlling
the energy that creates the
ultimate union with Truth; and
Ayurveda is the science of life.
The purpose of each practice
is to help the individual
achieve longevity,rejjuvenation
and self-realisation.The object
of practices of Yoga & Tantra
is liberation, although only
certain disciplaned individuals
are able to achieve ultimate
goals through these practices.
If Ayurveda is the science of body,Yoga is science of
spirit.They are sister sciences.The practice of Yoga is
an important,natural ,preventive meature to ensure good
health.The father of Yoga,Patanjali,described eight areas
of Yoga and Yogic practices as follow: the natural
regulation of nervous system; disciplane; cleansing;
postures; concentration; contemplation; the awakening of
awareness; and the state of perfect equilibrium.Yogic
exercises have both preventive and curative value. They
bring man to the natural state of tranquility, which is
equilibrium.
Employing Ayurvedic diaggnosis and
treatment,yogis deal effectively
with these disorders. Ayurveda
indicate which type of yoga is
suitable for different constitu-
-tions.
Benefits of meditation include a greater sense of relax-
ation in both mind & body, greater flexibility of
thinking,an ability to meet situation with freshness and
insight.From the standpoint of pure physical expression
it can help loosen the knots and tensions trapped in the
body by distributing emotions.It can help to change both
facial expression and body posture,thereby softening and
strengthening at the sametime.There are some of possible
results,but they are not the goals. Meditation helps
strengthen the positive qualities of compassion,patience
and wisdom and free us of conflicting emotions and
erroneous beliefs.
There are many form of meditation:
silent sitting, chanting, praying,
walking meditation,meditation that
uses visualization or focus on
objects.Meditation can be found in
almost every tradition in world
if one were to look into their more
contemplative practices.
Samadi is the state of highest equilibrium during meditation,
when the individual consciousness merges into the Cosmic
Consiousness.All limitations vanish,the individual consious-
-ness empties itself and in that emptying process.Life
changes and daily living becomes a new and fresh experience.
In the spiritual evolution of man,Ayurveda is a foundation,
Yoga is the body and Tantra is a head.It is necessary first
to understand Ayurveda in order to experience the practices
of Yoga & Tantra. Thus Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra form an
independent Trinity of life.None of these practices stand
alone.The health of body,mind & consiousness depends on the
knowledge and practice of these three in daily life.
