What I like about DKDM is, the opportunity it provides to search, learn new aspects. Hope we get to know more in this journey of Parvati's self realisation.

Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga

In Sanskrit "Ashta + anga" is Ashtanga. "Ashta" means Eight and "Anga" is limbs so it means Eight Limb path, ashtanga yoga is based on Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali. The asanas, Pranayamas or the dharana which we have studied earlier or the yam and niyam are based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Hence, we will acquaint ourselves with the fundamentals as stated by Patanjali first.

Eight Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga

1.

Yama (Principles or moral code)

	Ahimsa - A principle of non-violence
	Satya - A principle of Truthfulness
	Asteya - A principle of non stealing
	Brahmacharya - Continence / Celibacy
	Aparigah - A principle of non-hoarding or non possessiveness

2.

Niyama (Personal Disciplines)

	Shuchita - Purity
	Santosh - Contentment
	Tapa - Endurance
	Swadhyaya - Self study
	Eshwar Pranidhan - Dedication

3.

Aasana - (Yoga Postures / positions)

A stable and comfortable posture which helps attain mental equilibrium.

4.

Pranayama - (Yoga Breathing)

Extension and control of breath.

5.

Pratyahara - (Withdrawal of Senses)

A mental preparation to increase the power of mind.

6.

Dharana - (Concentration on Object)

Concentration of mind on one object and its field.

7.

Dhyana - (Meditation)

With drawing mind from all external objects and Focusing it on one point and meditating on it.

8.

Samadhi - (Salvation)

State of Super bliss, joy and merging individual consciousness in to universal consciousness. Union between Jivatman and Paramatman. Union of Shiva and Shakti in Sahasrar Chakra (the top of the head). Realizing the Bramhan (pure consciousness) or Realization of God is the ultimate achievement of Human Birth.

So I guess this is the reason for Parvati's memory loss track.. for showing this Ashtang Yoga concept..if this is it... then very interesting...!! 👍🏼

Only question is.. how is this related to Mahadev..?? coz he is a Maha yogi... ( like Narayan said.. in the epi today..) or is there a story related to this also...?? 😕

Cvs are doing some really nice work here...!!

Thanks for the info.. Minakshi...!! 😊

It's these Gems of knowlege, that makes me forgive all their mistakes.

The Yoga has originated from the Mahayogi, Shivji. The Yoga leading to Self realisation & merging with the Universal consciousness is the main aspect of Shiv-Shakti Union. It leads a soul to liberation.

Hope they make it good as some of their past tracks like, Chakra awakening, Tantra etc. If here Paravti realises her 10 Mahavidyas, her Shakti, it will be owesome.

Earlier Parvati's self realisation involved Chakra awakening, Kundalini awakening. The Ashtanga Yoga will do the same for her. The concept of Shakti-Shiv uniting can be experienced even in Human body through these 8 steps.

Errr.. didn't Parvati say that Mahadev will have to do a Tap for her.. to get her memories back.. here we see Mahadev making Parvati do everything...!! 😆😆

So it will be just like pre wedding scenario.. with Mahadev being her guide..Good...liking this..and hopefully.. just as u said.. they show the 10 mahavidyas.. too...returning to her..!! 😊
