Yoga and Total Health - September 2022

In this issue

The journal this month focusses on techniques that one may learn to take control of the mind.

Dr Jayadeva suggests the possibility of understanding, learning and cultivating practicing to “stop thinking” as they key to control the mind. Hansaji suggests to begin with concentration. One may also use the Parikarmas (from the Yoga Sutras) – Maitri (friendliness towards the happy), Karuna (compassion for the unhappy), Mudita (delight in the virtuous), Upeksha (indifference towards the wicked) as ways to cleanse the mind and bring steadiness.

Devdutt Pattanaik, an Indian mythologist, shares a very interesting take on consumption being the root cause of violence.

Dive in for more on the above along with our regular features on The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Thoughts on the Gita and Yogic Ahara.
