21st June! An important day in my life, it's my dear husband's birthday. United Nations made it even more relevant by marking it as international Yoga day.
It's a reminder for me to draw in extra breaths during my Pranaam session so that day goes by extra smooth, without a tiff!
As they say, yogic culture goes back to Lord Shiva, He is being considered as Adiyogi or first Guru. Yoga is not regarded as a religion or as a belief or philosophy, but it's a method. This statement was well proved when I did rounds of doctors from my physician to neurologist for a minor problem like a headache. All the doctors tried various chemicals to tune my Brain's untuned chemical. In the end, all of them said, "Please practice yoga!"
After being attended by all streams of medical sciences when this statement came in unison, I questioned myself ....."Do we need multi-speciality hospitals or we need Muti speciality yoga centres?" In the stressful times when we all are jostling within ourselves, probably yoga is the only science which teaches us to be happy amongst ourselves. Media is going frenzy about 'Yoga day.' See any tabloid, all are full of different kinds of yoga - anti-gravity yoga, steam yoga, water yoga blah -blah- blah.
But Sadhguru defined "Yoga" in a beautiful way. He said yoga is geometry, it's all about proper alignment of our body so that all the cosmic powers can flow adequately.
He gave an excellent example, people from at least my generation or older can relate to it easily. He said, "Till the early eighties we all aligned our aluminium antennas so that it can match the required frequency for the best television reception. Precisely our body requires an angle for the best cosmic reception. Yoga is not about trying 100 different postures. It's not about sweating or losing weight. It's about precise alignment, and everybody has a different angle."
So husband dear I want to gift you a precise alignment on this birthday, please join and let me help to find mine :)
Happy yoga day to all - let's take charge of our mind and emotions to explore other dimensions of life in a better way.
