Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 , ansuya80 <no_reply wrote: Hello Anusuyaji. Namaste! The word yoga is derived from the root sanskrit word Yoke. Yoke means to join, as you yoke a bull to a plough. In short joining. Joining of what? Joining of our ordinary soul with the divine soul. Aatma ka parmatma se milna ya judna isse yog kahte hain. Ofcourse there are many more meaning to yoga such as yog karmse kaushalam etc., etc., It is suffice to say joining or yoking of our soul with the divine. Meditation too has many meaning. Learned people say it is cessation of thoughts. Some say stilling of the mind. Some saints have said, meditation means to be in tune with infinite. But true meditation is a rehearsal to die. That is what Saint Paul meant when he said, I DIE DAILY. It is unfortunate many do not know the meaning and many have never come across this sentence in Bible. So how do you die or rehearse to die in meditation. When you are initiated by a living master (this is a must). You cannot say I believe in some past master and do meditation according to the book he or she has written. Initiation is the touch of the soul from the master to the disciple wherein the master places his astral form at the third eye of the disciple. Only when such an initiation has taken place can the disciple meditate and experience the art of dying while living JEETHE JI MARNA. In short as it is mentioned in a greek temple. IF YOU DIE BEFORE YOU DIE WHEN YOU DIE YOU DON'T DIE. I hope this clarifies your doubt. With warm regards SUDHAKAR HARI OM TAT SAT!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 > Very quiet ? where are Aum, Farah, aradhana, deito,bala and all > others ? Namaste Anusuya ji.I just came here. There are yogis here who can answer your question very well.I no nothing about yog.Yogic path is eight fold and meditation is a part of this.Maybe by " yoga " you are talking about pranayams and kriyas and not dhyana and samadhi etc. But the yogis begin with this pranayam etc and step by step reach the latter stages where they try to search for the truth.This is a path of gyaan ie knowledge.The yogis or gyaanis dont take anything without testing and understanding. People are on various different paths such as dhyaan yog, bhakti etc as per thier nature n disposition and God's desire and direction. regards Aradhna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been out at yoga all day! To answer your question, yoga is a way of life which includes many of the things we discuss here on this site. Meditation is just one part of that lifestyle. Just to add to what Sudhakar & Aradhana have said, 'yoga' means to yoke, join or unify (ie to unify the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness.) There are 4 paths of yoga - Karma, Jnana, Bhakti & Raja - all discussed on this site regularly. In Raja yoga there are 8 steps & meditation is just one of these steps. The 8 steps are - Yamas (abstensions), Niyamas (observances), Asanas (steady postures), Pranayama (controlling energy through the breath), Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), Dharana (concentration of the mind), Dhyana (meditation) & Samadhi (the super conscious state.) Im sure the wise Mr Aum will have something to say about this.... So what was the 'hot argument' about? Do share.... With love Farah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOGA is the union of individual soul with the universal soul (god).....and meditation is the way to achieve it. Normally people take Yoga as Hathh yoga...but Hathh yoga (Asan Pranayama etc) are just a part of yoga, which has a deep meaning Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 > What is the meaning of YOGA as an attribute of a day in PANCHANGA Swamiji, thats the astrological Yoga, different from Patanjalis Yoga. Astrological Yogas are combinations of stars/planets that give certain results, eg a Raj Yoga gives wealth & power, Gaja Kesari Yoga gives good fortune etc. They use the word Yoga, but in a completely different context. love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in Astrology Yoga means the combination or sum of certain planets or certain Nakshtras. Astrological yoga is altogether difference from spiritual Yoga which means union with god Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
