It imparts the right concept and rational knowledge of yoga with a heavy focus on practice with great effort. It clearly outlines that everyone is entitled to yoga practice regardless of one's age, sex, faith and belief, sect and cult and tradition and religion, and robe and physical appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegarding the four stages of yoga, the text mentions \u003cem\u003eārambha\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eghaṭa\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eparicaya\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eniṣpatti\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eavasthās\u003c\/em\u003e. Of the \u003cem\u003eHaṭhayoga \u003c\/em\u003epractices, it elaborates mainly eight \u003cem\u003ebandhas\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emudrās\u003c\/em\u003e which are \u003cem\u003emahāmudra\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003emahābandha\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ekhecari\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003emudrā\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ejāladhara\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003euddiyāna\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emoola\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ebandhas\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eviparitakarana\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003evajroli\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOf \u003cem\u003eyamas\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eniyamas\u003c\/em\u003e the \u003cem\u003eYogaśāstra\u003c\/em\u003e regards that \u003cem\u003elaghvāhāra\u003c\/em\u003e (eating less) and \u003cem\u003eahimsā\u003c\/em\u003e are supreme respectively. Of all the asanas, practice of \u003cem\u003epadmāsana\u003c\/em\u003e alone is highly recommended and also regarded as the destroyer of all diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eYogaśāstra\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes that one can not achieve success in yoga just by reading scriptures, by wearing special garbs\/dresses, by repeating mantras and by worshiping Gods and deities, but by constantly practicing it without sloth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDattātreya\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eYogaśāstra\u003c\/em\u003e regards \u003cem\u003eprāṇāyāma\u003c\/em\u003e as an important practice in yoga \u003cem\u003esādhanā\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003ePadmāsana\u003c\/em\u003e is highly recommended for the practice of \u003cem\u003eprāṇāyāma\u003c\/em\u003e. The techniques of \u003cem\u003eprāṇāyāma\u003c\/em\u003e are fully elaborated with the inclusion of the practice of three \u003cem\u003ebandhas\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003esahita\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ekumbhaka\u003c\/em\u003e (with the retention of breath) for the purification of \u003cem\u003enāḍis\u003c\/em\u003e. It is further described that when the \u003cem\u003enāḍis\u003c\/em\u003e are purified, the signs of success in the body of yogi become visible. When \u003cem\u003ekumbhaka\u003c\/em\u003e practice is prolonged gradually every day, the yogi finally attains \u003cem\u003ekevala kumbhaka\u003c\/em\u003e that is the ultimate goal of \u003cem\u003eprāṇāyāma\u003c\/em\u003e practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text also explains that when \u003cem\u003ekevala kumbhaka\u003c\/em\u003e is achieved, the yogi experiences several signs in his body and attains some minor \u003cem\u003esiddhis\u003c\/em\u003e. This is called the \u003cem\u003eārambha avasthā \u003c\/em\u003e(stage). When \u003cem\u003ekevala kumbhaka\u003c\/em\u003e is perfected through further practice, he attains \u003cem\u003eghaṭa avasthā\u003c\/em\u003e. This is a very important stage in which \u003cem\u003eprāna \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eapāna\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003emanas\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eprāṇa\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eātmā\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eparamātmā\u003c\/em\u003e are united. It instructs further that the yogi in this stage should practice \u003cem\u003epratyāhāra\u003c\/em\u003e. While practicing \u003cem\u003epratyāhāra\u003c\/em\u003e, the yogi feels unity will one and all and also he attains miraculous powers, but he is advised neither to be attached to them nor to disclose them. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text further elaborates that when perfection is attained through practice on five elements, the yogi attains supernatural powers like \u003cem\u003eanima\u003c\/em\u003e, etc. Then the yogi should continue his practice of meditation first on \u003cem\u003esaguṇa brahma\u003c\/em\u003e and then \u003cem\u003enirguṇa brahma\u003c\/em\u003e so he can finally attain the culmination of yoga, \u003cem\u003e niṣpatti avasthā\u003c\/em\u003e in which he realizes the union with God. After achieving his union with God, at this stage, the yogi as per his wish may leave his body or he may wander as a \u003cem\u003ejīvan mukta\u003c\/em\u003e (one who is liberated while living) in this universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 29, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52693080178995,"sku":"9798224545773","price":25.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/x7K6ufGZ369798224545773.webp?v=1763038453","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/datt-257-treya-yoga-347-257-stra-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
