Article: 'Yoga & Its Physical Aspect' by
Ruchita Tripathi Upadhyay |
|
Generally two statements are quoted about
Yoga – 'Yoga controls and balances the body' and 'Body controls and
balances Yoga' Both are parallel statements and both are true. An
exhausted body, where the energy level has reached a low ebb, gets
revitalized with energy and enthusiasm after following the
discipline of Yoga. Yoga rewards its followers by carrying them to
the transcendental stage – 'Samadhi' the destination which every
person who practices Yoga looks for. On the other hand the body is
also equally important. Great poet Kalidas has said very
appropriately in his famous book 'Kumar – Sambhava' about body :-
"Sharirmadham khalu dharma sadhanam"
Without having a capable body no practice or religion can be done
or followed. Whatever you want to achieve – physical gain or
spiritual gain, it can not be acquired through an incapable body.
Physique plays an important role in one's personality as it affects
its several facets. Firm resolutions or noble thoughts can not be
inculcated in a battered or incapacitated body. Rishis of
Atharavaveda use glowing terms in praise of body. Respectful
adjectives like Ayodhya, 'Hiranayaxi Puram', 'Aparajitam' and
'Amritavritam (a place full of nectar) have been used for body.
Whether you want to enjoy the world or seek salvation, capabilities
for both will have to be developed in the body itself.
In 'Sadhana' marg when the devotee becomes repeatedly
unsuccessful in attaining the desired 'Sidhi' he starts blaming his
sensory organs and starts punishing these. This is highly
undesirable according to Vedic mantras. These mantras warn us that
this is not the way of finding the solution. On the contrary it is
like moving from darkness to dense darkness. By punishing the body
or the sensory organs, you can not get rid of your woes, you will
only be indulging in repugnant conduct. We can not run away form our
body or senses. These are not illusions but realities. They are our
friends not foes. They can be controlled by attending to them with
affection, patting and not by condemnation.
Being hurt by his disciples' disdainful neglect of 'indriyas'
(sensory organs), these have been declared as comprising of divine
elements which need protection and conservation by a Rishi in
Upnishada. The same Rishi of Upnishada has mentioned that 'Agni' has
entered as voice in month, 'Vayu' as sight in eyes, 'Dishas' as
hearing in ears, 'Anna, Aushadh & Vanaspati' as body hairs in
skin, 'Chandra' as mind in heart, 'Mrityu' as 'Apaan' in navel and
'Jala' as seminal fluid in penis. The purpose of such a declaration
by the Rishi is that each sensory organ of the body represents one
or the other deity and these should not be subjected to neglect. All
such behavior which makes the sensory organs weak, incapable or
damaged prematurely should be treated as acts of violence. Yoga is
the opposite current of violence. Surprisingly whosoever enters into
the ambit of Yoga is neither intolerant to his sensory organs nor to
the society. His sense of liability is awakened which channelises
the regressive forces for constructive purposes. This awakened sense
is the starting point for the destination of self-perception.

In case of emergency:
Cell phone " ICE" Campaign
Isn't it true that we all carry
our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its
memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these
numbers belong to our near and dear ones?
Let us for a moment create a scenario wherein (God forbid) we are
involved in an accident or had a heart attack or a paralysis stroke,
low sugar attack, and the people attending us get hold of our mobile
phone but don't' know which number to call to inform our family
members. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is
the contact person in case of an emergency?
For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers
stored under the name ICE (in case of emergency) in our
mobile phones.
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It
is simply, an important method of contact during emergency
situations. As cell phones are carried by majority of the
population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact
person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as
"ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by
a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of
accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they
didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would
be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this
purpose. Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican
Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency
(ICE)" campaign.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service
personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact
your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE".
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before every
body will know about this.
It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at
rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and
ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference! Let's spread the
concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today!
