d Spiritual platforms simultaneously which is fundamental to the Patanjala Yoga process.

Conveniently located in the suburb of Luyang, our classes are taught in a tranquil and eco-friendly environment for every level of practitioner. We encourage a non-competitive attitude among our students, with a higher priority placed on internal development than outward achievement. Gokul Yoga invites you to come in and share the practice of yoga together, regardless of age, size, gender, fitness, diet and lifestyle. General Information:

- Yoga mats are provided as are props such as blocks and straps which we may use to assist students in postures.

- Mobile phones are to be switched to silent mode during the class.

- Be kind and loving to yourself, accepting where you are. Realize its ok to come out of the pose early, allowing yourself to be intuitive to your body.

Yoga Sutras 1.44
~
एतयैव सविचारा निर्विचारा च सूक्ष्मविषया व्याख्याता
Etayaiva savicārā nirvicārā ca sūkṣmaviṣayā vyākhyātā
~
Etaya,by this; iva, also; savicārā, with subtle awareness; nirvicārā, without subtle awareness; ca, and; sūkṣmaviṣayā,subtle objects; vyākhyātā, are explained
~
States of samadhi with subtle awareness and without subtle awareness whose objects of focus are subtle by the nature are described in the same manner.
~
In vicara samapatti focus is on the subtle (metaphysical) nature of an object. In savicara samapatti one is still aware of the name, meaning and the idea of the object and in nirvicara samapatti one experiences the subtle nature of the object directly without these mental or/and intellectual labels.

Yoga Sutras 1.43

स्मृतिपरिशुद्धौ स्वरूपशून्येवार्थमात्रनिर्भासा निर्वितर्का
Smṛtipariśuddhau svarūpaśūnyevārthamātranirbhāsā nirvitarkā
~
Smṛti, memory; pariśuddhau, upon purification; svarūpa, form; śūnye, void; iva, as it were; ārthamātra, only the object; nirbhāsā, illuminative; nirvitarkā, without gross thought
~
When memory is pure, mind appears to be without it’s own nature and only the contemplated object shines forth.
~
Pure memory experiences things as they are. When object is reflected on the purified mindfield and then it is perceived in it’s original state. Without mind coloring the idea, meaning and the name of the object. When the mind is pure, memory becomes pure as well.

वीतरागविषयं वा चित्तम्  ॥३७॥

vītarāga viṣayam vā cittam

Yoga Sutras 1.36
~
visoka va jyotismati
~
visoka, painless; va, or; jyotismati, luminous
~
Or steadiness of mind is achieved when the mind is pain free and luminous.
~
Sattvic mind is steady mind and steady mind is happy mind. Mental steadiness in achieved by trying to bring the mind back to it’s natural, sattvic state. Steady mind is a starting point for the spiritual practice. It creates platform for transcendending. Shree Radhe-Shyam!

Yoga Sutras 1.35
~
विषयवती वा प्रवृत्तिरुत्पन्ना मनसः स्थितिनिबन्धिनी
Viṣayavatī vā pravṛttirutpannā manasaḥ sthitinibandhinī
~
Viṣayavatī, of the sensing experience; vā, or; pravṛtti, higher perception; utpannā, arising; manasaḥ, mind; sthiti, stability; nibandhinī, causes
~
Or stability of the mind can be achieved through higher, more subtle sense perception
~
When the senses are purified through the sattvic tapasya, becomes our perception more subtle, clear and spiritually directed. When the sensory experience is more fine, leads that also into the stability of the mind.
Mind and the senses are interconnected. Senses are extensions of the mind. Our mental process colours our sense perception and our sense perception colours the mind. If the mind is pure, perception is pure. If the perception is pure the it also helps to purify the mind.

Verse 29 trayasya svalaksanyam vrttih sa esa asamanya bhavati samanya karana vrttih pranadhyah vayavah panca trayasya - of the three; svalaksanyam - their qualities; vrttih - actions; sa esa - and these same; asamanya bhavati - different nature; samanya karana vrttih - the unifying actions; pranadhyah vayavah panca - five vayus like the prana vayu Functions of the three are their qualities. Their functions are specific. Common factor is the functions of the prana-vayu and the rest. Mind, intellect and the faculty of I-experience can be defined through their functions. One can’t see the subtle body but it can be defined through its functions. The functions of these three faculties are specific. Common factor is that they all work through the prana.

Verse 14 avivekhyadeh siddhih traigunyat tad viparyaya abhavat karyasya karana guna atmakatvat avyaktam api siddham avivekhyadeh - indistinguishability; siddhih - perfection; traigunyat - three gunas; tad-viparyaya-abhavat - from the absence of the reverse; karyasya-karana guna-atmakatvat; from effects which are same nature as the cause; avyaktam - the unmanifested reality; api - also; siddham - concluded Indistinguishability is established through the three gunas and absence of their reverse. The existence of unmanifested is proved through it’s effects which are same quality as the source. Gunas connect and unify. All the objects of the material nature are made of same ingredients: sattva, rajas and tamas. This includes subtle dimensions of prakrti as well like Mahat. Avyakta, unmanifested nature, is proved through it’s effects. Reflection of the unmanifested reality can be seen through the layers of the manifested matter.

Yoga Sutras 1.27 ~ तस्य वाचकः प्रणवः Tasya vācakaḥ praṇavaḥ ~ Tasya, his; vācakaḥ, designation; praṇavaḥ, the OM-kara. ~ Omkara designates him. ~ Here Patanjali reveals that syllable Om represents Isvara (the indeoendent Lord). Om is one of the God’s various names. Pranava is the sound incarnation of the Isvara. Chanting Omkara burns the seeds of karma. ~ #yoga #movement #asana #practiceandalliscoming #yogaeveryday #yogajourney #igyoga #yogamotivation #yogalife #yogaeverydamnday #bhakti #ashtanga #yogachallenge #igers #instagood #yogi #bhakti #ashtanga #hatha #gokulacandra #gokulyoga #narada #bhaktisutra #philosophy #psychology #metaphysics #krishna
