Patanjali, The Patriarch of Yoga
About 300 BC, the great sage of India, Patanjali, created the
Yoga Sutra. Only on this basis did Indian yoga really take shape, and the yoga
practice was officially established as an eight-branch system. Patanjali is a
saint of great significance to yoga. He wrote the Yoga Sutra, which endowed all
the theories and knowledge of yoga to form a complete theoretical and practical
system. In this book, he explained the definition of yoga, the content of yoga,
the changes that yoga brings to the body, and so on.
Before Patanjali, yoga had a long practice period, but no one gave a systematic explanation of yoga. Patanjali created a holistic yoga system. So Patanjali is revered as the ancestor of yoga.
The ancestor of Yoga: The statue of Patanjali In the world of
yoga, Patanjali is unparalleled. He talked to Buddha, Krishna, Christ,
Mahavira, Mohammed or Chalatuste. In the same way, they are all enlightened
saints. As far as the world of yoga is concerned, Patanjali is the greatest
name. This person is rare. No other name can be compared with Patanjali. For
the first time in the history of mankind, yoga has been brought to a scientific
state. He has made religion a science of pure laws, and faith is not needed.
The Eight Branches of Patanjali recorded in the Yoga Sutra:
- Yamas: refers to external control, the moral commandments of the universe.
- Niyamas: refers to internal control, self-purification through self-discipline.
- Asanas: refers to yoga postures, also known as body turning.
- Pranayama: refers to breathing rhythmically and controlling exhalation, also called interest rate adjustment.
- Pratyahara: The release of the spirit from the enslavement of sensations and external things means that the sensation disappears and it controls the heart.
- Dharana: Concentrate and pay attention.
- Dhyana: Meditation.
- Samadhi: The superconsciousness from meditation is all concentrated in the soul and unites with the universe.
Briefly describe the relationship between Patangali and King Yoga?
Yoga, originally a Chinese transliteration of Sanskrit yoga,
originally meant "unity," "connection," and
"combination". That's what the Chinese call "the union of heaven
and man."
In ancient times, Eastern and Western cultures had the
concept that the great ego (the mother of the universe, the universe, and all
things) and the ego (the human, the true ego, and the small universe) wanted to
be one. This is the "state" reached through practice. Therefore, the
term "yoga" refers to the "realm" where the Brahman is one,
which is the sublimation of the search of the body, mind, and spirit, rather
than any action. This realm is the thirst for hope of many seekers, the door to
liberation.
The so-called insightfulness makes it easy for people to
comprehend the true self and the truth in tranquility.
Meditation is of course an important subject: "Yoga's
Theory of the Earth" translated by Master Tang Xuanzhang refers to the
gradual gradual meditation Realm (land) of development.
As long as we look
through the slightly larger dictionaries, we will find the original meaning of
the word yoga, which is far from what people have heard today.
The philosophy of yoga and its practices have a profound
impact on Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism.
