Om dear yogis,
today, I would like to share with you an interesting video that shows the life of Master Sivananda, the Guru at the very origin of Sampoorna Yoga.
Actually, Sampoorna Yoga has been developed by Shri Yogi Hari (my teacher), combining the yoga systems he learnt from his two Gurus, that descend from Master Sivananda: Swami Vishnudevananda (mainly teaching him Hatha Yoga, the physical part and Raja yoga, meditation) and Swami Nadabrahmananda (a Nada yogi, teaching mainly the art of sound, music and mantras).
This way, Sampoorna Yoga is very complete as it touches all the aspects of the human being. If you are already practicing it with me regularly, I am sure you noticed tremendous effects on your body and mind.
As you may know, Sampoorna Yoga incorporates Hatha (physical practice of postures called asanas), Karma (unselfish actions), Raja (meditation), Bhakti (practice of devotion), Jnana (study of ancient scriptures on Yoga) and Nada Yoga (mantra chanting and sound vibrations). They instill health and harmony in body, mind and soul.
The basic message is that health, peace and joy are already within you and Yoga can help you to uncover them. Remember that Yoga is a spiritual practice not only physical as a gym.
I hope that you will find inspiration from this video that gives deep insights on the life of a great Yogi! I was very moved by it. Let me know what you think about it.
