Yoga & the food we eat
Yoga is about the food we eat. Sacred food prepared with devotion. Why the fuss, when there's a restaurant available around every corner?
Well,traditionally, no indian family member will eat outside of his home. A very strong concern for home and family motivates him in every sphere of life.
The home altar, with an oil lamp always burning, is the focal point of the house, and food is offered there to the family deity.
Yoga & Mantra
Yoga is the chanting of mantras - words, phrases or syllables - in an attentive and thoughtful way, to attain certain goals. It is a form of meditation, in which one has to chant the mantra until he/she transcends his/her mind and emotions. In the process, the person discovers his/her super conscious.
Studies suggest that the mantras possess unique healing potential, when they are chanted at a specific time.
They are a tool to achieve stillness. The mantra should be discarded immediately after attaining the tranquility.
