#FitIndia - Govt of India Initiative - Sankalpa is here

 #FitIndia - Not just physical. It is a prerequisite for Yoga which means union . Union of self with Cosmos. Thats why we have

1. YAMA – Disciplines ( Nithyakarma Anushtana in Jnana Marga)

2. NIYAMA – Positive duties or observances ( Fixing thoughts daily to lead a meaningful life )

3. ASANA – Posture ( Yoga+ Asana = Yagasana = Sitting in cross legged position -90 minutes on the Floor /Ground )

4. PRANAYAMA – Breathing Techniques ( Staying few seconds in kumbaka extends life and relax the mind )

5. PRATYAHARA – Sense withdrawal( Eg: Ekadashi Upavasa)

6. DHARANA – Focused Concentration ( Daily Gayathri Mantra Chanting 108 Japa)

7. DHYANA – Meditative Absorption ( Staying silent with Internal Akasha focus on Ajna chakra )

8. SAMADHI – Bliss or Enlightenment ( Sat Chit Ananda can be experienced )

This is the true idea behind #FitIndia. I do all 7 steps daily for 90 minutes. Thanks to Corona.
