| Vriksh-Pot Yoga |
Rabia-
was a divine female character. She belonged to Middle-East. In my childhood, I
heard this story from my grandmama. Rabeya was a slave. She worked very hard,
since from the very early morning her work would start and it would be
completed at the mid-night. After that, she would get chance to use few hours
for herself; after reaching to her hut, she would start her meditation and
gradually it would reach to the deepest level of meditation as she would lost
her present existence.
One
day, her master came to know from his sources that one very special light come
out from Rabia’s hut. On hearing this, her master himself went to her hut hidey
and opened the door and became surprised to see the heavenly atmosphere. What
did her master see in her hut? Rabeya was sitting in very deep meditation and a
big circle of bright divine light was reflecting behind of her and that divine
light spread in every corner of the hut and even out of that. Thereafter,
Rabia’s master set her free from her slave and allowed her to go anywhere as
she liked to go.
This
story has revealed us the strength of meditation. The power of meditation
reached her at the top level of mankind.
It
is my believe that all of us are created by supernatural power to reach up to
the level of mankind that we can carry the baton of the supernatural power and
decorate this universe more and more beautiful that the next generation can use
with pride after us.
I
believe that the increase of unwanted activities within our society due to the
increase of evil power of human mind. Fear is the common weakness of human
beings. It resists protesting the evil activities of the society. We can stop
all the evil activities that are going on surrounding us daily which has
created threat level of atmosphere within our societies.
First
of all we have to throw out such fear from our mind and it is possible through
strong and regular practice of meditation.
Food
is also very effective for constant meditation. Hot food is avoidable. Normal
and regular food, fruits are always preferable. These kind of normal foods are
very helpful to keep mind peace.
Little
empty stomach is also help to keep concentrate the mind. Overeating is not
advisable for those who actively do meditation on regular basis. Because,
overeating diverts the mind towards the downstream. Little empty stomach helps
to easy digestion of food.
Yoga
and Meditation, both are inter-related. In ancient age, most of the monks,
saints were very good yoga specialist. They had mixed up yoga and meditation
together and created a new dimension.
One of such pose is Vriksha-Pot. Virkshapot means stand like a tree.
This is a famous asana in yoga. This type of mudra or asana is not easy to
practice. In this aasana, the person will stand straight on one leg, then lift
two hands up and joint two palm like namaskar mudra, right leg will touch the
thai of another leg, face will little up, eyes will keep straight according to
face; after that, stand on next leg and do the same. Indian monks, saints would stand like that way and it is saga that they would stand like this way year
after year and even era after era only to get visit of their worshiped God.
From the yoga point of view is this Virkshapot mudra or asana is very helpful
for physiques and also digestive and keep formation of abdomen.
