To Auroville Foundation
Subject: In response to WC's call for sharing one's
practice on International Day of Yoga in Auroville
First and most
important thing is: Not to do this practice with the idea of getting
something. In other words - Not to think in terms of
benefits. It is like what the Mother, Sri Aurobindo's colleague and
co-worker, said to the effect of repeating Mantra. Repeat your
mantra for the joy of it, for the love of it. The idea of the
result, of getting something out of it spoils everything.
Secondly, just as the saying goes, "Practice makes a man
perfect". Similarly, with time, with persistence, your imagination will
become more vivid and rich.
Third, don't force yourself for any of the asana. I have
indicated the time you can give to each asana to begin with and grandually
increase.
I call my practice
Kalpana Shakti Yoga. (Power of Imagination Yoga)
Body postures facilitate formation and strengthening of certain
images which are in consonance with the aim of yoga. The body, too,
participates in the practice. Hence, the effect is more solid. Did not the
Mother said towards the end of her extraordinary life-long spiritual
exploration - "Salvation is physical."
My ten postures - Asana, my name for each of them and the images
they facilitate and strengthen and solidify.
