Lotus significance in yoga

 To a yogi, the Lotus flower symbolises the expansion of the soul and spiritual awakening.  The roots of a lotus are grounded in the mud (earth/materialism).  The stem grows up through the water (growth/life experience) and blooms above the water, in the sunlight (awakening/enlightenment). . . #lotus #significance #importance #value #flower #symbol #awakening #enlightenment #bloom #yogaeducation #yogastudy #yogatoursindia

Soorya namaskaar

 Surya Namaskar (सूर्यनमस्कार) Salute to the Sun or Sun Salutation, is a practice in yoga as exercise incorporating a sequence of some twelve gracefully linked asanas. The asana sequence originated in the Hatha Yoga tradition on 9th century in India.  The basic sequence involves moving from a standing position into Downward and Upward Dog poses and then back to the standing position, but many variations are possible. The founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, K. Pattabhi Jois, stated that "There is no Ashtanga yoga without Surya Namaskara, which is the ultimate salutation to the Sun god." . . #suryanamaskar #sun #sun_salutation #tradition #yoga #importance #yogapractice #yogalove #yogaguru #yogahabit

Through their close connection with the Supreme, Masters can successfully expedite the progress of their disciples in attaining the Highest Truth.  The Masters' teachings may differ for their views reflect the environment that was prevalent during that period of time but what unites them is that all their teachings bear the same stamp of spiritual truths.  Each Master may have adopted a different route but in their unique way they have all shown how the Highest Truth can be realized. . . #masters #teacher #guru #education #study #teachings #gurus #power #blessings #truth #respect #love #wishes #happyteachersday
