International Yoga Day June 21

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

June 21 is declared as International Yoga Day by the UNO, and this is one beautiful gesture UNO had made, actually yoga should be made mandatory for every school and every educational institution and minimum five Asanas which are the most important should be taught and each and every child should practise them at least till they get married, and if they can continue it is always beneficial.

Following are the main five Asanas:

1) Padma Asan, Normal Lotus posture, or those who can not due to bow legs they can use Sukh Asan.
2) Sarvang Asan,
3) Uttar Paschimot Asan
4) Mayur Asan
5) Shirsh Asan

And one should be able to hold each asan for at least 5 minutes every time they do it, and Brahma Mahurta 4:30 a.m., before the sun rays hit the Earth, is the best time to start.

We had regular yoga classes in our school and we were taught all these Asanas on a regular schedule, which was the reason why I continued it even after my schooling.

Elaborate Astang Yoga course should be available on UNO website for everyone to download for free and read and practise, they can get this from Swami Sivananda ashram website for free.

Above given asanas only give benefit to the physical body, but they do little for the mental and Astral body, for that higher yoga needs to be practised, Pranayama is one of them.

I have seen on the TV, people are told to do Kapal Bhati as a regular exercise, which is good but it does not do the complete good, if it is done with out proper process of body cleaning etc.

Whatever, International Yoga Day on June 21 of every year is very good and I liked it more when they called Yoga as a science, it is a science and has not been explored by modern scientists.

Yoga not only helps people with their body issues, it also helps with mental issues, astral connectivity issues, and many more issues which we are able to see, feel or sometimes, we don't even see them or feel them, but a yogi can see or feel them.

The most beautiful part of Yoga is control on everything, Anger, Senses, Mind, Desires, Happiness, Sadness, etc. and once a person experiences all these, one will never live with out Yoga.

The goal should be to attain the status of Yogeshwar, of course which will need lots of discipline, integrity, openness, food, etc. but it is not impossible. :-)

Aum Tat Sat!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padma Asan:


Sukh Asana

Sarvanga Asana


Uttara Paschimot Asana


Mayur Asana (Peacock Pose)



Shirsh Asana


Each Asana should be held for minimum 5 minutes with normal breathing, or one can practise by holding the breath also, but if during those 5 minutes if one feels any discomfort, please slowly discontinue and sleep on the ground flat like a dead body which is also a Asan, "Shav Asan", for 5 minutes till your breathing returns to normal, and If you are going from no 2 to no 5, don't jump like a frog from Asan to Asan, takek your time and between each asan you can do Shav Asan for few minutes till your breathing returns to normal.

During the Asana, one should try to listen to the body sounds, and feel the stress and identify the location of the stress and then work on it with your prana, sounds easy but it needs lot of concentration and practise.

There is a big misconception that Yoga should be done like an exercise, purpose of yoga is to tune your body, Mind and Soul, and should be done with out any physical exhaustion, better if you play some very soothing music at a very low volume, like Shruti of Veena or even Jazz sounds good.

There are many warm up asanas, which should be done in the beginning, "engine daud" is one of them people like to do, it is like jogging in one place with movement of both hands and legs like a locomotive. :-))

Beginners should start yoga in a very calm atmosphere and with out any hurry and worry, and better in the presence of a learned person, same thing for Meditation, begin in a very serene, calm location, but eventually once you get hold of it, you can do anywhere in a soccer stadium or  even in a rock music concert hall, meaning once you get the mastery, the location becomes meaningless.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanskrit as a mandatory subject,

Modi Government should see that Sanskrit is made a compulsory subject along with English and Hindi, not just rudimentary Sanskrit but on par with Hindi as a language.

Benefit of this will be North to South , East to West in India Sanskrit is available but is used by very few elite, once it is made mandatory then a Kashmiri will speak freely with a Tamilian in Sanskrit and when they write they can write in their scripts, same with Gujarati to Assamese, Sanskrit is one language which can actually dissolve all the difference due to Languages in India.

Even today a priest in Kashmir if he can speak Sanskrit, then he can freely communicate with a Sanskrit speaking priest in Tamilnadu or Karnataka or Andhra in Sanskrit, though they might write in their own scripts.

Well Sanskrit brought differences of caste in India, it might as well remove those difference when a lower caste person cleaning a toilet speaks in Sanskrit and very well understands what the priest in the temple has just chanted. :-)

The differences of I am elite and he is low might go away and then a Brahman might as well work in a municipal office cleaning roads and sewers, all speaking Sanskrit, :-)  then once this happens all government offices If function in Sanskrit then the need of Caste based reservation system will go away, instead a economy based reservation system will be needed, because the common factor which brings all lower castes together is economy, and there are many forward caste people who are poor, but they get nothing from the government and they have to fight for everything in a huge competition, which is not fare.

Yogas -Vedic Astrology.

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Though there are hundreds of yogas due to hundreds of combinations of planets, lords of houses, aspects,  due to exchange of lords, Parivartan yogas, retro debilitated planet in kendra, and depositor of that planet also in kendra etc, so let us see how many yogas are possible.

1) Chandra Yogas, Moon as the reference point, and the most important combination with Moon would be of Jupiter, Chandra -Guru Yoga, i.e. Moon and Jupiter present in Lagna and well placed with out any malefic aspect or affliction.

2) Surya Yogas, Sun as the reference point and many yogas are possible with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and more then two planet combinations also.

3) Panch Maha purush Yogas

Five planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn when present in their own house, or Moolatrikona or Exaltation house or in a kendra from Lagna or Moon Lagna give rise to panch maha purush Yogas, which are Bhadra, Malvaya, Ruchaka, Hamsa and Sasa Yoga respectively.

These yogas ensure a successful and prosperous life and out of these Hamsa and Malvya yoga are Raja yogas.

4) Nabasha Yogas: Nabasha means celestial or heavenly, so they are based four basic types namely Akrati (shape), Sankhya (number), Asraya (position),and dala (dal or bhava). 

32 varieties of Nabasha yogas has been explained by Parasara 

Akrati Yogas: Gada, Shakata, Shringataka, Vihaga, Hala, Vajra, Yava, Kamala, Vapi, Yoopa, Shara, Shakti, Danda, Nauka, Koota, Chhatra, Dhanusha, Ardhachandra, Chakra and Samudra

Sankhya Yogas:Dama, Pasa, Kedara, Shoolaa, Yuga and Gola yoga

Asraya yogas: Rajju, Musala and Nala

Dala Yogas: Mala and Sarpa

5) Raja Yogas: Combinations of planets which bring a huge change in the life of the native in terms of standard of living or status.
6) Dhana Yogas: Combinations of planets from Lagna, 2nd house, 5th house, 7th house, 9th house, 11th house, which bring good fortune and wealth.
7) Arista Yogas: Combinations of planets which bring misfortune and bad luck, causing hardship.
8) Daridra Yogas:Combination os planets which bring poverty and misery.
9) Reka Yogas: Combinations of planets in their debilitation causing hardship.
10) Parvarajya Yogas or Sanyasa yogas: Combinations of plets which make a native renounce the world and live a life of a sanyasi or ascetic

Small point to remember about the level of phala these yogas bestow when in force, for a Prime Minister Raja Yoga will be way different when compared to the Raja yoga of a office clerk, both might have same intensity of Raja yoga, so people mostly misunderstand about Raja Yogas that it will turn them into a King of some sort. :-))

Same thing is true about Dhana Yogas or for that matter any small or big yoga.

For the complete list of all yogas please visit http://www.vedicscholar.com/allyogas.php?ltr=6 

so that I don't have to list them all over again.

I think what matters most is the position of the planet in question, its strength, it being free from any afflictions, and its depositor's similar position, only exception is Neech Bhanga Yoga, where a debilitated planet might give some thing which no other planet can give in any kind of Yoga.

Then repetition of such position, strength and aspects in other important charts like D-9, basically the strength increase if there is Vargottam planets in multiple divisional charts.

Most important Dhana yoga emerges with the proper connections between, Lagna, 5th bhava, 9th Bhava, 7th Bhava, and 11th Bhava. 5th and 9th bhavas are Lakshmi sthana.

Most important Raja Yogas emerges with proper combinations between, Lagna, 5th Bhava, 7th Bhava, Kendras, Exalted and Debilitated planets, Debilitated retro planets.

All charts have at least 10 yogas, and most of them have some form of Raja yoga, Raja Sambandha, Viparita Raja yoga, even Parivartana yogas etc, and almost every one of them are currently struggling in their lives and majority people start getting some good satisfying results in their 50's.

Which means combinations are always there for Raja Yoga etc, but there are bhadhaka's also blocking them to pass, or they are delayed if there is strong Saturn influence, so just because there is a combination for Raja yoga does not mean it will happen or even if it happens the intensity of phala (fruits) might be too low to even register or visible, same thing for Daridra yoga.

For bankruptcy, see if the 5th lord is placed in 8th or 12th lord is placed in 8th, with out any benefic's aspect.
