Yoga & Meditation- both are inter-related

Dandayamana Asana-Yoga

In my earlier blogs I have already said that yoga and meditation both are inter-related. Yoga makes human body stronger and Meditation makes human mind stronger. Now the question is how these are two interlinked? The answer is strong Yoga health carries a strong mind.

Once I heard that human body is like a temple and god lives in this temple. So that built up this human body healthy carefully; because, healthy human-beings are the assets of all society and also for the nation.
It is fact that in comparison of physical strength men are stronger than women, this is not the mistake of anyone; the all mighty power has created them like this way. It seems that men will protect women; but in practice what we see; male has been dominating women era after era. Men think that women are their property and they can do anything with them; if we search the history of all human- societies, we will get enough evidence. Just go to Google all-knows search engine and type any human-history; you will get enough evidence of male-dominating history. I am not feminist; but I believe the co-existence of men and women in the society. I believe in inner-power of all men and women that supply us by the all mighty.
Yoga and Meditation are the only solution to improve that inner-power within us. Yoga does not built-up our body like a bodybuilder; it increases the inner strength of the body. The regular practice of yoga keeps us away from almost all chronic diseases.

In my last blog I have written about Virkshapot yoga which leads us towards deep meditation. Now I am telling about the Dandayamana Aasana. What is this Dandayamana Asana? This is very simple at beginning stage.  I have already told about the yoga and meditation normal dresses in my earlier blogs.

Now I am telling about this asana; this is very normal asana for the beginner. Stand straight on your feet; back straight, front straight. Look straight, touch both knees from side; both hands in namaskar mudra, this way stay two-three minutes. Thereafter, hold left side of nose with left hand and take breath through right side of the nose, this way hold right side of the nose and take breath through left side of the nose. Thereafter, hold both sides of the nose with two fingers of one hand and take breath through open mouth. Normal breathing means, oxygen taking up to stomach level and release the same up to stomach level. You will feel stretch in your stomach.

Now you hold the waist strongly by two wrists of hands and slowly and also gradually bent the upper part of the body (up to waist) and count 1 to 10 numbers. 1 to 5 times does this way. Now rise hand up and close your palms like clap mudra; then slowly bent your upper-body first at right direction and then left direction. Thus your body will feel stretch at upper portion of the body and up to stomach and also back portion of the body. This aasana will help to keep good the digestive order of the body, something spine injury and little bit high blood pressure

Dandayamana Asana-Meditation

This Dandayamana Asana is also helpful for meditation. After completing the yoga; stand again straight on feet. Keep two palms close like namaskar mudra. Close eyes; try to collect pieces of mind from every corner and make it one-mind and then concentrate on the forehead with your one-mind and thus try to forget the worthy world. In the earlier stage three-five minutes are enough for meditation through Dandayamana Asana.
After completing the yoga and meditation process through this Dandayamana Asana; lie down on the floor straight and take normal breath. Thus the body will feel relax and free and very comfortable for the day.

Meditation

Meditation of  Lord Buddha

Meditation and Yoga are the basic of Eastern Asia mostly of India . In this  article I will write about meditation .
In ancient time Hindu monks were done meditation in various lonely places like deep forest , inside of caves of the hills only to achieve their beloved God/Goddess . Such of their meditation would run year after year ; during such meditation , they did not take any food , only meditation as called akhanda-dhyan .
In ancient age of India , God would also do meditation . The dhyan-murty of lord Shiva is very popular with Hindu shastra . Lord Shiva is the image of super natural power , he has nothing to require by mediation . Still he would do meditation , why ? Because to keep the balance of nature of the world .
What is meditation ? This is the best way to control of mind by oneself . Why we need such control of mind? Because , our mind is being disturbed by the worthy society . It is believing that , every human being had two minds , one is good and second one is bad . The bad mind is always trying to capture the good mind by its' evil power . Meditation is the cleaning process of the rust on the mind .
Commonly , the place of mind is at the abdomen . Thus are very freckle to move and very much affected or inspired by the evil power of the worthy society . Most of the time it moves ups and down and thus our mind is become very freckle . Meditation is one kind of soul refreshment .
How do we meditation ? First of all sit on the ground with flexible cloths coverings entire bodies . Fold two legs from knees like asan-mudra and keep the both hands strait on the folding knees , close eyes , imagine- the flame of a candle light in front of the closed eyes . Entire feeling should be centralized to that imaginary flame of candle light . During this period of meditation , only calm and quiet atmosphere is required , otherwise , at the initial stage , concentration will be disturbed and meditation will interrupted .
Daily one hour meditation on regular bases is essential for us . We have to find out this one hour of our daily busy life for meditation . This is not only built strong positive mind keeping away from any bad effect of the worthy society , but also it prevents us from various health matters , like blood pressure , mental depression and also from anxiety , fear . Meditation increase the mental strength thus we can resist any undo matter of the society . Meditation makes us rational and teaches us to love nature and also mankind .
