Pranayama has two purposes - one is to control the speed of breathing and the other is to attract the life consciousness present in the entire universe and imbue the gross, subtle and causal bodies with that amazing power. Pranayama also provides promising help in mental control. The fickle and unruly mind appears to be stable at a designated centre. Not only this, the path to cure mental disorders is also paved. The importance of Pranayama has been unanimously accepted in the world of spiritual practice. It has been said to be very useful from the point of view of physical and mental health.

The fact becomes very clear by making a comparative study of the breathing of many animals. The account of physical breathing movements and life span is as follows - Rabbit breathing 38, age 8 years.

स्वभावतः मनुष्य को शाकाहारी होना चाहिए, क्योंकि उसका पूरा शरीर शाकाहारी भोजन के लिए बना है। वैज्ञानिक भी इस तथ्य को स्वीकार करते हैं कि मनुष्य-शरीर का सारा ढांचा यही बताता है कि मनुष्य को मांसाहारी नहीं होना चाहिए। मनुष्य आया है बंदरों से। बंदर शाकाहारी हैं-पक्के शाकाहारी हैं। यदि डार्विन की बात सच है तो मनुष्य को शाकाहारी होना चाहिए। अब कई तरीके हैं यह निर्णय करने के कि जानवरों की कोई प्रजाति शाकाहारी है या मांसाहारी. यह निर्भर करता है अंतड़ियों पर, अंतड़ियों की लंबाई पर। मांसाहारी जानवरों की आत बहुत छोटी होती है। चीता, शेर-उनकी आत बहुत छोटी होती है, क्योंकि मांस पहले से ही पचाया हुआ भोजन है। उसे पचाने के लिए लंबी आत नहीं चाहिए। पचाने का काम तो जानवर ने ही पूरा कर दिया है। अब तुम खा रहे हो जानवर का मांस। वह पचाया हुआ ही है, लंबी आत की जरूरत नहीं है। मनुष्य की आत बहुत लंबी है. इसका अर्थ हुआ कि मनुष्य शाकाहारी प्राणी है। लंबी पाचन क्रिया चाहिए, और बहुत कुछ व्यर्थ होता है जिसे बाहर फेंकना होता है। तो यदि आदमी मांसाहारी नहीं है और वह मांस खाता है, तो शरीर बोझिल हो जाएगा। पूरब में, सभी गहर...

  On the 16 day of yoga, I was feeling energized and ready to take on the day. I began my practice by warming up with several rounds of sun salutations, moving through each pose with fluidity and ease. As I flowed through the movements, I focused on my breath, inhaling deeply as I lifted into upward dog and exhaling as I pressed back into downward dog. After my warm-up, I moved on to some seated poses, starting with the popular pose of Lotus. I sat with my legs crossed, resting my hands on my knees, and closed my eyes, focusing on the present moment and breathing slowly and deeply. Next, I moved into the seated forward bend, stretching my hamstrings and spine as I folded forward. From there, I transitioned into the boat pose.

The boat pose is great for strengthening the core muscles, and I could feel the burn as I held the pose. After c...
