This combo product is bundled in India but the publishing origin of this title may vary.Publication date of this bundle is the creation date of this bundle; the actual publication date of child items may vary.The practice of Yoga is now being widely embraced by the West in an endless range of evolving formats particularly with added movement components. It is therefore very timely that Osho with his razor-sharp insight respect and compassion for the individual brings a wider understanding of the potential benefits of Yoga for contemporary people in these talks on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Patanjali lived around 400BC and although Yoga was already in existence he was able through his unique combination of logician poet and mystic to present Yoga in a way that could be of help to all. And that continues to be true today. Osho describes Patanjali as a mathematician of the ultimate poetry; a mystic with a scientific mind who analyzes and dissects as if in a lab but his lab is one of the inner being. Patanjali has searched deeply into human energy and devised many techniques; he has found that in order to meditate the body mind and being need to be healthy. His discovery that the body energy becomes whole with the chanting of om the basic sound of existence and his findings of the deep connection between breathing and thinking have been of great importance to generations of meditators. ?The body is your anchor your ship which will lead you to the other shore. The body keeps the treasure the seeds of the divine within you protected.? OshoYoga is now an integral part of our health-conscious cultural landscape practiced by millions for health and fitness reasons. While Yoga is seen and practiced mostly as a body exercise program the interest in the philosophical and spiritual dimension of Yoga is growing. This book introduces us to Patanjali the founder of ancient Yoga in India. It takes us step by step into a deeper understanding of the essence and origins of Yoga. Osho introduces and unlocks Patanjalis ancient sutras revealing how contemporary this ancient message truly is. It quickly becomes clear that we are just on the cusp of a gaining a much deeper understanding of Yoga and its place in our evolving world. Surprisingly the mind even more than the body is the focus of Patanjalis teaching. He says: Yoga is the cessation of mind. As Osho says: This is the definition of Yoga the best definition. Yoga has been defined in many ways; there are many definitions. Some say Yoga is the meeting of the mind with the divine; hence it is called yoga ? yoga means meeting joining together. Some say that Yoga means dropping the ego ego is the barrier: the moment you drop the ego you are joined to the divine. You were already joined; it only appeared that you were not joined because of the ego. There are many definitions but Patanjalis is the most scientific. He says: Yoga is the cessation of mind. ?What is the mind? What is the mind doing there? What is it? Ordinarily we think that mind is something substantial there inside the head. Patanjali doesnt agree and no one who has ever known the inside of the mind will agree. Modern science also doesnt agree. Mind is not something substantial inside the head. Mind is just a function just an activity. This book is part one of a 10-part series of talks titled Yoga: The Science of the Soul in which Osho speaks about Yoga.
