Asceticism in India is a millenary tradition that has endured through the ages. Even today, ascetics, called sadhus, lead a life of renunciation and discipline to attain higher states of consciousness. Their goal is to free themselves from material attachments and elevate their minds to the infinite. Ancient Origins: The Seals of the 7 Rivers civilization Although we do not have direct evidence…

I will be giving a talk at the Rudolph Steiner House for the Astrological Lodge on Monday 4th March at 7pm. See the website for details.

I will be exploring two topics close to my heart: Astrology and Yoga: I am calling it Salutation to the Stars. But what would such a yoga sequence even look like? Are you an astrologer? Are you a yogi/yogini? If so do you practise both together? How can that be done effectively? This is what is now called Yogastrology.

Have you ever wondered how Astrology overlaps with Yoga in so many interesting ways? Does each practice have the same goals? What are the parallels and what are the differences? How does yoga interact with Ayurveda as well, along with Astrology? Are they completely different, or do they share any core beliefs or practices or are they three sister sciences dancing together? I hope to answer all these questions.

Mostly I want to analyse the charts of some of the central figures emerging out of India: Sri Yukteswar, Swami Vivekananda, Yogananda Paramhamsa, Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamacharya, BKS Iyengar, Patthabi Jois, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sir Bhagwan Rajneesh and of course Bikram Choudury.

I want to ask what set these guys apart from others? How did they become yogis? They set out on a mission to bring yoga to the West and we have to wonder, were they successful? Did they complete their intentions? Is there something in their charts that indicates that? Most people would say yes since both yoga and astrology are on the rise What is in their charts that would indicate they would be successful?

So what are the key drivers and aspects of their charts? I will explore these leading players setting their incredible stories in a historical context and picking out key signatures in their charts including asteroids and astrocartography.

Not to forget the role of women in yoga too although this could probably be a whole other talk in its own right to do it justice. There may not be time. But I will take a brief glance at the astrology of some of the key female yogis too:. Blanche de Vries, Indra Devi, Ida Rolf, Tao Porchon-Lynch and Guru Jagat.

“JALA” means water and NETI means “to guide”. JALA NETI means guiding water through the nasal passages to cleanse them. A natural technique used by the yogis to stay disease free and most importantly to use the breath well for their yogic practices without any blocks. It is all about nasal hygiene just like brushing teeth is about dental hygiene. It is a technique used to clean the sinuses.

Now June 21 will be marked as International Yoga Day which was actually driven by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, being himself a regular yoga practitioner. Practicing yoga and meditation is believed to bring positive changes in our lives by making our body fit and mind refreshed full of positive energy and PM Modi believes that Yoga will help bring world together.

You must have experienced the benefits of yoga and meditation personally, if you are a regular practitioner. And if you are unknown regarding the topic, we recommend you to start doing some Yoga asanas and meditate from today, International Yoga Day.

Today is the longest day of the year in northern hemisphere with special spiritual and mythological significance. Therefore yoga should not be taken just as to stretch a body; actually it should be taken as a habit to live healthy and cheerful stress free lifestyle. In mythological stories, it is mentioned that Lord Shiva meditating at top of Himalayas. So, where would be the better place to practice yoga other than Himalayan country of Nepal? And we would also like to inform that Outshine Adventures specializes in organizing yoga tours in Nepal.
