Gurudev was unique in own-self and core to the

Postures) <br>
The Physical techniques of Yoga are the stepping
stones to meditation. According to Patanjali, Yoga
is the cessation of the modifications of the mind.<br>
<br>
In the beginning the primary prerequisite to
peace of mind is posture. Yogasana practiced to
gain steady posture, health and lightness in the
body. All Yoga postures are intended to directly
or indirectly quiet the mind. The majority of
Asana have been devised to build up different
parts of the body and to develop the strength
required by the more advanced <span style=""> </span>Physical
disciplines. The purpose of the yogasana is to
recondition the system, both mind and body, and to
develop the nervous and glandular systems. The
different Yoga postures have been devised to bring
a rich supply of blood to the brain and to the
various parts of the spinal column. The yogasana
work by stretching, bending and twisting the
spinal column in different directions to promote
the health of the nerves. When the body is
purified, Prana (vital energy) can be conserved
and the individual becomes healthy and conscious.

The sages understand Sannyas to be the renunciation of
action with desire; the wise declare the abandonment
of the fruits of all actions as Tyaga. ( 18:2)<br>

Acts of sacrifice, gift and austerity should not be
abandoned, but should be performed; sacrifice, gift
and also austerity are the purifiers of the
wise.(18:5)<br>

Whatever obligatory action is done, O Arjuna, merely
because it ought to be done, abandoning attachment and
also the desire for reward, that renunciation is
regarded as Sattwic!( 18:9)<br>

The man of renunciation, pervaded by purity,
intelligent and with his doubts cut asunder, does not
hate a disagreeable work nor is he attached to an
agreeable one.(18:10)<br>

Verily, it is not possible for an embodied being to
abandon actions entirely; but he who relinquishes the
rewards of actions is verily called a man of
renunciation.(18:11)<br>
