Yoga And Deepawali
-
The Praying habit
PRAYERS
Sanskrit is a difficult language and
tough for the brain to interpret. This tranquility allows the other words to
learn easily. The sound of Sanskrit and its vibrations allow the clearing of
strong negative thoughts and hidden subconscious knots. That is attachment of events,
like raga, dvesha etc., called as Chitta Vrittis of mind according
to Patanjali maharshi. There are shlokas or hymns to be chanted every morning
just after getting out of the bed, before any activity, before eating, saluting
the Sun, saluting the teacher, and lastly at the bed time. Chanting can sooths
the brain without losing awareness of physical commitments. This is the
balanced life called Yogic life style. The prayers
collected from Vedas and Upanishads are considered to be auspicious and proven
to be beneficial for spiritual growth. Fulfillment of physical desires will
never make a person understand about the spiritual growth. It’s the bhajans,
chantings mantras and shlokas will open up the new way of perception. If the
perception change the emotional stability and emotional culturing starts up.
These are the events of Manomaya Kosha, the emotional layer of human existence.
