Article by S. M. Acharya on- The Power Of Yoga
Power of Yoga
I am myself doing yoga for the last 50 years and with every passing day, I have been getting more and more convinced that with ever-new diseases cropping up for which there are hardly any remedies with allopathic doctors except the symptomatic treatment,
yoga is the only weapon of last resort that the unfortunate patients can look to.
Having learnt various types of yoga and meditation techniques including Patanjali Yoga, Transcendental Meditation (TM), Osho techniques and what not, let me confess that many yoga practitioners also do suffer from cancer, asthma, slip-disc and other spinal aches
and pains whether they admit or not.
I too suffered from many such life-threatening problems. Not finding any proper cure under any of the known therapies, I started looking at animals, birds and some other species. What I found to my amazement is that all such animals and birds continue to practice some instinctive exercises without even being conscious about them just to keep themselves fit like
a fiddle.
You might have noticed the particular way of stretching the spine by the dogs or cats before they get up and take to run. Similarly, the birds go on twitching their body parts and wings to keep themselves fit. Human beings also had similar instinctive behavioral exercises which were lost as they started walking on two legs losing the natural balance between their hands, feet and the torso. Modern lifestyle further added to their woes.
They also started eating fast foods that are too oily and over-processed compared to the natural foods that all animals and birds are ordained to eat by their inherent nature. The man-made air-pollution, water-pollution and the over-use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides added to the list of life-threatening diseases.
When no doctor could cure me of my various ailments, I took to some spine-stretching and twitching of the legs and feet that started me helping to cure my various spinal aches and pains like backache, cervical spondylitis, slip-disc and sciatica pains, etcetra, within a very short time.
When the same exercises were synchronized with deep breathing and pranayams like the Kapaal-bhati and Anulom-vilom, as taught by Swami Ramdevji Maharaj, coupled with eating more of seasonal fruits and vegetables and less of highly processed and refined foods, I was cured of age-old asthma, migraine and frequent coughs and colds.
For the benefit of all human beings who are still suffering from various ailments, I have put all
