Meditation and yoga are ancient disciplines that lead to states of serenity, clarity, and bliss. Meditation involves witnessing one's thoughts and desires without judgment. In a deep meditative state, the mind experiences silence like an endless sky, connecting one to their senses and life. True meditation is a basic transformation that cannot be taught but must come from within through expanding one's consciousness. Yoga, which originated over 5,000 years ago, involves controlling the mind and body through eight steps including physical poses, breathing techniques, and meditation to achieve perfection and union of the soul.

- 1. Meditation & Yoga: An ancient discipline Meditation is a process that leads to a state of consciousness that brings serenity, clarity and bliss. Without much effort, just be as an audience and witness the mind how it acts. What are the desires that the mind is longing? What are the dreams that the mind enjoys? From the reminiscences, what is the expectation? Without giving a judgment or argument, the watching is noticed. Without coming to any conclusion about good or bad, just continue watching. In a state of watcher, the meditation in a form of witnessing is also one kind of meditation, which can be called as ‘watcher’. Just by sitting and thinking a subject or witnessing in a state of witness, the moment when the mind observes the silence is like a sky. That experience will connect the self to the sense and nerves of one’s lift, which is exposed as a picture. In your heart of heart i.e. in deep mind, a deep silence will occur. It is like a sky, where clouds will come and go, planets like moon will appear and disappear, stars will appear and disappear, but the sky, is stable as it is. No one can touch it or destroy it or even separate it. That is the phrase “such of inner sky”. This is the object of meditation. You have to go in and find the large sky and enjoy the expanded happiness. What ever you happen to look; you cannot be as that of what you have seen. You can find the thoughts but you cannot become as thoughts. You can find your feelings but you cannot become as feelings. You can see the dreams but you will not become as dream. Likewise, you can desire, but you cannot be as desired. You can imagine but cannot be converged as imagined. Leaving all sorts of such experiences, you have to step in, and one day all of a sudden the wonderful event will occur and what all you have seen will disappear. The future and the induction will be in your vision. That is called prophet of seer. That is the vacuum sky. Through that broad sky, the fear of us will disappear. We can find and observe the love. We can see the God and get the deathlessness. Such kind of meditation comes actually and not a givable object. Meditation cannot be added to you. This can only come to you through a basic transformation. Almost 5000 years back, even in Bhagavat Gita, the meditation is considered as a part of yoga. The vibration in life is set aside by meditation. In Vedas we find the originator of yoga is ‘Hiranyakarpana’. The divine Brahma is the creation of Hiranyakarpana. He has established a religion called ‘Yoga Smiruthi’. Saint Pathanjali has done it as theories with the experimental processes like Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Prathyakara, Tharanai, Thiana and Samathi. Likewise, the eight steps are defined as yoga. Many people think that the third step of the art of yoga (Asana) when read the yoga comes to an end. This is totally wrong. Controlling the actions and controlling the mind are not at all possible for anyone all of a sudden. The human body is practiced to involve in ambitions, desires and passions. This state derives to enjoy the earthly pleasure and settle with worries. So, the human body is the main one to be trained. That is why the “Asana” (physical exercise) becomes important.
- 2. The Saint Pathanjali, in his writings gives the theory “Stability (Sthira), Happiness (Sugan) and exercise (Asana)”, gives the meaning that the happiness and the stability lie in Asana. The neck, the head, and back, these three to be steady in a straight line and projected perfectly. This posture is most important in Yogasana. What is called “Yoga”? The scattered mind to be controlled and focused to a perfection that is “Yoga”. It is said in 4 stages, which are: 1. Scattered stage. 2. Brisklessness stage. 3. Confused stage. 4. Bringing to perfection-stage. In all of the above, the essential one is the important stage of, united aims to be in perfection. Saint Pathanjali confers “Siddha Viruthi Nirothi Yoga”. This means the knowledge of developed thoughts and its unification. ‘Vidya’ is Sanskrit language and it’s meaning is ‘Art’. From that art, 1. To frame the body (Asana-Art) 2. To frame the mind (Prathyakara) 3. To frame the thoughts (Thiyuna-art) 4. The physique, mind, knowledge and all together to be brought to a stage and find the soul is called “Samathi”. Let it be any religion or any caste, let it be a male or female, which prevails makes no difference. Whether young or old, no such restrictions apply. Every one can do the ‘Thiyana’. Involving yourself you can become Gnani (A person with wisdom). The physique should have the best health and purity. The “Asana” is the first step where one should keep the body parts clean from his stomach to mouth, also, from the lower portions of stomach and abdomen. By following this habit, the diseases like piles, appendices, hernia, hydrosol, and stomachache will be cured. As we are active, through out the day, the cheeks, stomach, hands, legs, and their flushes are drawn towards earth. To balance this out, at least for a few minutes of the day, let us try to focus our body to be upwards. It will give lot of comfort to body. To do this the practice in “asana” is most important. The mind based on thoughts where the sickness commences and that are why the feelings got the elaborative and results in blood pressure. To avoid all these, one should practice to do ‘asana’.
- 3. Padmasana, Sarnanga Asana, Bujan Asana, Yogamudra and Mayura are few of many kinds. Yama explains 1.Ahimsa (No harm to living being) 2. Truth (Not telling lies-speaking the facts only) 3.Thief tendency (Stealing others property) 4. Deathlessness (Immortality) 5.Controling the senses (Control of sex desire and its ejaculations) After practicing all these things the next formalities are to be followed. 1. Purity (Clean, sacred, and faultless) 2. Penance (Constant worship forgetting the atmosphere and surroundings) 3. Theoretical study. 4. Happiness in equalized state. 5. Worship to lord. The above formulas should be stabilized and the asana (posture) should be commenced and the yoga will be regulated. Without the regularity, the art of yoga cannot be materialized in this birth. So many of the have been exploited. When you happen to do this, you are also recognized as persons with wisdom like Sri Shankara, Sir Ramanuja, Sri Viswamithra and Sri Vasista. If the yoga is followed, so many benefits and aims can be achieved.
