In the current era of jet age, which can be also explained as the age of rat race , age of lots of stress & tensions , I think one does not have any better solution than YOGA ! Although one may find this statement a bit inappropriate, but I feel it makes a lot of sense , because as a medical professional we do come across lots of patients who are having variety of diseases just because of their wrong lifestyles ! As a consultant in Ayurveda I do admit that most of the physical disorders have their origin in Mind & vice versa. Ayurveda do explain this very same relationship of Body & Mind in a very nice manner â
â Tatra Roga Dwidha Smrita Sharirah Manasah cha I â
That means diseases can be broadly classified into two â Physical Disorders & Mental Disorders.If your Body is not well , then it may get manifested in Mental disorders as well & if your Mind is not in a good healthy peaceful condition , then your body manifests several conditions leading to diseases. That means our Ancestors were aware of this very same âPsychsomatic Aspect of Disorderâ or of that of concept of âBody Mind Medicineâ
Now the question that might arise in the minds of readers that why author should get involved in the discipline of Yogic Sciences! Since both Ayurveda & Yoga both are ancient sciences & more over both are not mere the branches of sciences but considered to be well known âDarshan Paddhati â meaning both of these branches tells us about the correct way of living life . Another reason was with regards to learning of correct techniques of Asana , Pranayama which would be an important tool while treating certain patients .A quest for identifying about ourselves - Koham  would also be partially fulfilled & would get a chance to know in a little depth regarding âPatanjal Muniâs Yogasutraâ were another few reasons to join this very same course , rather starting studying about Yoga a bit more seriously & systematically !
Patanjali Muni has defined Yoga in his Yogasutra as -
â Yogah Chittavrutihi Nirodha I â
That means constraining of our Chittavruti (mental afflictions) is Yoga.
According to âShrimad Bhagavatgeetaâ another definition of yoga has been advocated â
âYogah samatvam utchayteâ
All the things in moderation , in balanced way is termed as yog.
Yet another definition given by the same text is â
âYogah Karmasu Kaushalamâ
Yoga is another name for having excellence in our duties.
The references of Yoga can be sited way back in Vedic literatures. In particular in those of many Upanishadas there are cross references about Yoga,but the first authentic text on Yoga was compiled by Acharya Patanjali Muni. The first exponent / teacher of yoga was considered to be Hiranyagarbha Rishi.
Patanjali compiled all possible information about this discipline & put together in the forms of Sootras ( Aphorisms) in a very systematic , methodical & scientific way.He has written Yogasootra which comprises of 4 padas ( chapters) , such as âSamadhipada , Sadhanapada , Vibhutipada, Kaivalyapada . There are total 195 sootras in Patanjal Yogadarshan. It discusses basically a Rajayoga. It explains step by step how to reach towards path of liberation, Kaivalya through Ashtanga Yoga. Ashta meaning eight & anga means limbs , thus Ashanga Yoga means A system of Yoga with eight limbs or eight appendages. Here one need to keep in mind that these eight limbs are Not the Steps but limbs are to be practiced simultaneously & not in the stepwise manner.
These Eight angas are as follows â
