“While it appears that Parsvottanasana is one of the easier asanas, the final asana is a culmination of the varied movements of stretching, twisting, contracting and expanding, as well as the convex and concave action of the spine. One has to learn to coordinate these opposing movements and to establish a dialogue between the body, mind, senses and intellect for a unified and harmonious experience.

Through the study of asana we develop the twin tools of sensitivity and understanding. We use them as spade and shovel to plough the soil of the elemental body from the outermost physical level to the subtlest reaches of the consciousness.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says:

"Yoga-sthah kuru karmäni sangam tyaktva dhananjaya I
Siddhy-asiddhyoh samo bhütva samatvam yoga ucyate II"
(Bhagavad Gita 2.48)

"Be immersed in yoga and work without desiring the fruits of your labour; act with equanimity in the face of success or failure; for this inner poise, or the state of equilibrium, is yoga."

The practice of this simple yet profound asana paves the way for equilibrium of the body, mind and intellect.”

“Cakra are like the flywheels of a gigantic machine. The vinädanda has seven cakra or chambers. They are muladhãra, svadhisthana, manipuraka, anahata, visuddhi, ajna and sahasrara. As there are saptasvaras (seven notes) sa, ri, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni, in music, so also the spinal column has saptacakra to climb from bhuloka or the terrestrial world (muladhara) to vaikuntha or the abode of Vishnu (sahasrara) in order to experience the infinite and live in that state.

Antennaes pick up radio waves and transform them into sounds through radio sets. Cakra too pick up the vital energy from the breath we draw in, to be distributed throughout the body for healthy functioning of life in man. When each cakra is synchronised and made to function in unison through the disciplines of yoga, the energy of the atma flows like a river in the citra channel, through the passage of susumna, for the sädhaka to merge in the ocean of saharära. Then the sädhaka is in tune with the brilliance of atman reflecting in his true glory without the vehicles of the karmendriya, janendriya, manas, buddhi and I-ness.”

Adhomukh Svanasana with traction for cervical and back pain

BKS Iyengar said:-
For us the gadgets are like today’s intensive care unit In olden days there were only general wards and rare special wards, but not intensive care units. Science has advanced and the new electronic equipments are used for monitoring which send messages to the doctors wherever they are. These yogic gadgets, props and blankets do monitor the asana so that the doer cannot do or go wrong. The props and gadgets rejuvenate the system but never exert.
Here extension, expansion and circumduction take place without creating load on the brain or the nerves, whereas if one tries independently, exhaustion is felt before one experiences relief.
Yogis have the subjective experience and modern science has objective views of
body functions. If we can present modern views with the oriental subjective experiences, a new movement of understanding on the living body may shine forth in the 21st century. Then I am sure yoga will shine with more glory.

This is what science of yoga has given us, but somehow or other we have lost it. By the grace of God and by the grace of my guru I started finding means for people to hold on to it like a leech and I am seeing them sticking to it. From here, I hope the present generation builds further means to generate interest for the coming generation.
