In this weeks free video I talk about a definition I came across for yoga in a new (used) book I got — Vijnanabhairava or Divine Consciousness by Jaideva Singh. It was written in 1979 and was the firsEnglish translation of the Vijnanbhairava, which is a sacred text written around the 10th century. It’s definitely my favorite philosophical text. It explains 112 different methods for practicing yoga. So, the yoga definition I came in the book says, “Yoga is awareness, transformation of the human consciousness into divine consciousness.”
I just really like that definition of yoga. In the book the ways of practicing yoga and connecting to divine consciousness are varied, and pretty straight ahead. From staring at the sky to connecting to your breath. Basic methods for being happier and moving beyond the human consciousness to something greater. It’s awesome!
Check out the video. The practice is a bit more upbeat. Give my feedback about what you think either here or on facebook. Take care – John
