Niyam: Yoga For Self-Realisation

Yoga has eight steps for self-realization. Of these two are most important. These need to be mastered before heading towards the other six because without these the asanas will end up being just mere exercises to keep the body fit.

The first two steps are called Yam and Niyam . These need to be followed internally for preparing oneself for the higher consciousness.

Niyam: Yoga - Beyond The Body And Mind

Yog means union. Union with a supreme power which is the source of creation, perfection and destruction. Union with the supreme intellect and the guiding force behind the perfect mechanism of the universe. Yoga is merging oneself with this force that guides the human being to a state of total bliss. A human being is a small universe in itself. When the consciousness of this small universe unites with the energy prevailing in the vast canopy of the universe the union is complete and the light of wisdom starts flowing in the human body. The light contains everything a human needs to evolve. A human is a part of nature and constantly striving for perfection. This is the natural course of evolution because god is the personification of ultimate perfection.

Niyam: Shunya to Nada Yoga - Journey of Peace

In the language of yoga, the purpose or the effect of continuous nada sadhana on the human mind is ananda - extreme bliss.

Nada, or sound, is divided into two parts - aahada and anhada, heard and unheard. Heard means that which is possible for you to hear 'through the physical ears', and unheard means 'felt', which is the condition of nada before it is musically shaped and regularised. Then come the shrutis, then swaras, notes, which from time to time have been explained by the masters.

Niyam: Encyclopedia II - FSF India - The FSF India Logo

The left side of the Logo looks like a graphic representation of the famous Ashok Chakra, from thousands of years ago, that today adorns the Indian national flag. It even looks like a close-up of Mahatma Gandhi's charkha. On which he wove his own cloth, to defy the British Empire and hence gain India its freedom. It could also be a visual of an Indian bullock-cart wheel. Symbolically, it also represents the Indian imagery of Time. The right side of the Logo looks like a Compact Disc. The careful placement of the FSF India text, makes the total graph ...
