INTRODUCTION TO NIYAMAS

 MEANING OF NIYAMAS 

IN SIMPLE TERMS NIYAMAS MEANS "VRATA"(वृत) ,"ANUSHASANA"(अनुसासन) ,"LAW"(कायदा).

IT IS SAID THAT IF YOGI  WILL FOLLOW RULES AND REGULATIONS AS MENTIONED BELOW THAN THE MEETING WITH THE DIVINE WILL BE POSSIBLE EASILY.

"NIYAMAS" ARE THE LAWS THAT PERSON SHOULD FOLLOW WILLINGLY ,FORCEFULLY IMPLEMENTATION WON'T WORK EFFECTIVELY.

BY FOLLOWING THE " NIYAMAS" YOGI WILL BE HEALTHY PHYSICALLY AND EASY FOR HIM/HER TO CONCENTRATE.

EVERY "NIYAMA" HAS IT'S OWN DEEP EXPLAINATION HERE WE WILL UNDERSTAND BRIEF ABOUT THEM.

1. SHUCH(शौच)

IT IS SAID THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE VERY HEALTHY WHOSE STOMACH IS HEALTHY.....WHICH MEANS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM OF HUMAN BODY SHOULD WORK PROPERLY SO THAT UNDIGESTED FOOD WON'T STAY IN THE INTESTINE AND GENERATE THE DISEASE .

SO TO REMAIN HEALTHY PERSON SHOULD REMOVE THE FECES EVERYDAY FROM BODY .

THIS SHOULD BE THE HABIT OF THE PERSON TO REMAIN  HEALTHY FROM INSIDE.

2.SANTOSHA(संतोष)

IN SIMPLER TERM "SANTOSHA" MEANS " SATISFACTION"

IF WE OBSERVE AROUND HUMAN NEEDS INCREASES DAY BY DAY AND TO FULFILL IT HUMAN RUNS MORNING TO NIGHT  TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.

WHEN ONE NEED IS FULFILLED ANOTHER ONE CROP UP SOON AND TO SATISFY IT AGAIN SAME CYCLE WILL BE FOLLOWED ...

YOGI SHOULD PRACTICE SANTOSHA IN LIFE TO BE HAPPY .

3.TAPA(तप)

"TAPA" DOSEN'T  MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE MOUNTAIN AND DO MEDITATION IS TAPA ,

IN REAL SENSE "TAPA" MEANS TO BURN YOUR INTERNAL NEGATIVITY AND STAY OPTIMISTIC IN TOUGH SITUATION OF LIFE.TO HEAT YOUR SELF TO REACH TO YOUR DESTINATION THAT IS CALLED "TAPA"

4. SWADHYAYA(स्वाघ्याय)

IT MEANS THOSE FACILITIES GOD HAS GIVEN YOU FEEL FORTUNATE ABOUT THEM AND HELP NEEDY ONE BY GIVING THEM NEEDY THINGS TO SURVIVE ULTIMATELY IT WILL REACH TO GOD.

3.SIDDHANTA SRAVANA(सिध्धांत श्रवण)

BASICALLY "SIDDHANTA" MEANS THE ETHICS OF LIFE...HUMANS FACES MANY TOUGH SITUATIONS  IN LIFE SOMETIMES  MIND IS NOT ABLE TO TAKE DECISIONS SO AT THAT TIME YOUR ETHICS GIVES YOU WAY TO LIVE STANDARD LIFE.
