Sai Ashtang Yoga: Pathway to Self Realisation

<p>Scriptures say &lsquo;<i><b>Jantunam Nara Janma Durlabham</b></i>&rsquo; meaning &lsquo;To be born as a human being is the rarest of the opportunity&rsquo;. In this world of trial and tribulations being born as human beings is a rare opportunity to liberate ourselves from the cycle of birth and death of which even Gods&rsquo; envy!</p><p>Birds animals creatures and even Gods (Dev yoni) are all part of &lsquo;Bhog. Yoni&rsquo; where one has no<br/>opportunity to achieve liberation. Only &lsquo;Manushya Yoni&rsquo; (human being) is part of &lsquo;Karma Yoni&rsquo;<br/>where one is given an opportunity to achieve freedom from bondage. Since we are given a special gift of intelligence we should not miss this opportunity to free ourselves.</p><p>We have two options; either to look outwards and enjoy the temporary material world or to look inwards and acquire permanent happiness peace. and bliss.</p><p><b><i>&lsquo;Sai Ashtanga Yoga</i></b>&rsquo; is a path to the liberation for which the three pre- requisites are:<br/>&bull; Immense love for God<br/>&bull; Total surrender at the Divine lotus feet and<br/>&bull; Purity of mind</p><p>This book helps us to understand and practice various yogic techniques which gives us sound<br/>physical health mental peace and spiritual bliss.</p><p>However &lsquo;Surrender&rsquo; is the key word where offering the doership of our actions at the divine lotus feet and giving up the &lsquo;I&rsquo; or ego-sense will ultimately lead us to our goal of self -realization.</p>
