Yoga & Tantra

       


Ayurveda, Yoga & Tantra are all part  of   the   ancient  life  disciplane   that   have  been  practiced in India for centes. 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.
