Title
Ashtanga Yoga - Asana-New Revelations: Patanjali Yoga Sutra 97
Description:
Living enlightened master and avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda began this discourse with a new interpretation of the word. "Asana is roughly translated as Posture. I want to translate it as 'Tuning yourself to the Cosmos'."
Sthira and Sukha - the way in which you tune yourself to the cosmos should be stable, sturdy and comfortable for you. There are 1000s of ways to tune yourself to the cosmos. For every act you have a particular posture. If you lie down in a relaxed way and try to shout at someone, it won't work! Posture, your consciousness, and action - all 3 are connected closely. By lying down you can't shout at someone and by standing up you can't sleep.
Each posture creates a particular consciousness in you and helps you with the action. The posture for the ultimate consciousness is the Maha Mudra. For this, you need to evolve your body step by step. Change in body posture brings change in your consciousness. Many have started disrespecting the body, as though the body is a villain. The body is the victim of you. You go on abusing the body. Continuously for your enjoyment, you take the body to the extreme.
Your body is the mirror. The light coming to the mirror is the cosmic light. You need to align the mirror to a certain posture where the cosmic light reflects itself without distortion or deflection. That tuning is Aasana.
Stiram means any posture imbibed by you which becomes your bio-memory.
Sukam- When the right posture is done, nectar oozes out from every joint. Practicing a set of postures more and more and increasing the capacity of your body and increasing the sweet nectar is sukha.
Aasana-Respecting your body, raising your body to the highest possible spiritual conscious coherence. Through trial and error or a Guru's prescription, find the right set of postures for you. Increase the ability to practice, by doing the Aasanas again and again, experience the sweet nectar-like pain the whole day.
When your body is aligned, it Levitates; when you malign your body, it gravitates.
