Original Yoga System is an ancient personal development methodology that has been handed down to humanity both as a health and development system. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root "Yuj" and means to integrate, control, unite. The Original Yoga System in Vedic texts is called 'Maha Yoga'. 'Maha Yoga' means 'The Supreme Yoga'.
The Original Yoga System was practiced by Yoga Masters in the Himalayas.[1] The information of the Original Yoga System has been thoroughly transcribed by Paramahamsa Yogacharya Maha Yogi. This personal development system is now being practiced in different regions of the world.[2]
The Original Yoga System consists of eight parts, and each part contains hundreds of thousands of techniques. By applying the basic techniques in each section, control (Yama) develops gradually and eventually reaches the highest level and becomes superior control (Samyama).[3]
Superior control takes place in all eight stages:
- Superior control of the body (Sharira-samyama)
- Superior control of bioenergy (Prana-samyama)
- Superior control of the senses (Indriya-samyama)
- Superior control of the mind (Manas-samyama)
- Superior control of the intellect (Buddhi-samyama)
- Superior control of knowledge (Gyana-samyama)
- Superior control of consciousness (Chit-samyama)
- Supreme control of essence (Atma-samyama)
The control process is also in close connection with the concentration process. In the superior control stage, the concentration also gradually becomes superior concentration. In the deepest state of concentration; the concentrated object, the process of concentration, and the person who concentrates integrate. Thus the supreme union (Samyoga) takes place. This state is called 'integration' or "Yoga."[4]
Thus the Original Yoga System has three aspects;
- Superior control (Samyama)
- Superior concentration (Samadhi)
- Superior union/integration (Samyoga)
The Eight Steps of the Original Yoga System[edit]
- Yama - (control) Control of universal actions
- Niyama - (strict control) Control of personal actions
- Asana - (posture techniques) Body control
- Pranayama - (breathing techniques) Control of energy
- Pratyahara - (withdrawal of the senses) Control of the senses
- Dharana - (Concentration techniques) Mind control
- Dhyana - (Meditation techniques) Control of the ego
- Samadhi - (Superior meditation techniques) Control of consciousness.
At Yama stage, the universal action aspect of a person develops and a positive bridge is formed between the person and society. Control at the Yama stage means controlling and holding oneself back. This stage develops spontaneously during Yoga practices.
In the Niyama stage, "Ni" was added to the front of the control (Yama) and became the precise control. This means that a person has a regular and disciplined life. Otherwise, the individual becomes a slave of his/her senses and cannot be freed.
In the Asana step body postures are applied. Asanas have positive effects on the person both physically and mentally. With these postures, the body will regain its health and get used to staying motionless and comfortable for a long time. Asana means staying in a pleasant, relaxed and comfortable posture.
Breathing techniques are practiced in the Pranayama step. By learning to breathe correctly, the individual improves his/her body and mind in a positive way.
In the Pratyahara stage, control of the senses develops. By withdrawing the senses from outside objects, control over the senses develops and the mind turns inward.
In the Dharana stage, concentration techniques are applied so that the mind can focus on a single object without being distracted. If the mind can focus on an object for 12 uninterrupted seconds, it is a process of concentration.
In the Dhyana step, concentration becomes deeper, becoming "deep concentration." The mind is in full intense awareness by opening the object as well. If the mind focuses on an object for 144 seconds continuously, it is a meditation process.
The state of Samadhi is a state of supreme concentration. In this state subject is transcended. It is the pinnacle of the Original Yoga System.[2]
