BhujangasanaBHUJANGASANA

In the previous asana the near portion of the back bone was given a bend. By this asana the upper portion of the back bone is given a bend. The correct position of this asana will look like aserpent raising its head.

Procedure

1. Place a blanket folded length wise.2. Lie down on the blanket gently facing the ground.3. Give a relaxed condition of the body.4. Place the hands on the sides, palm facing the ground.5. Raise the head and chest.6. It will be noticed that the back bone is given a backward curve at the beginning portion.7. Gently come to the original position.

Do like this some six or seven times. In the previous position the legs and the head was raised but in this only the head is raised.

Fruit of Asana

All forms of diseases of the generative organs will be cured. Hunch back will be cured. This willkeep the Kundalini sakthi to raise up. Since the intestines are pressed the undigested food ismoved towards anus.



For young girls this asana is good. In the growing period the eturus will become strong. Pregnantladies should not do this Asana.

PashimothasanaPASCHIMOTHASANA

In the previous asana the back bone was given a backward twist. In this asana it is given aforward twist. This a difficult asana for stout persons with big belly. There is a proverb.â€œRome was built in a dayâ€• . Hence patience and continued practice is essential to get perfection in this asana. Some lean persons can learn in a fortnight training, while some othersmay take even a month period.

Procedure

1. Â Â Â Spread a soft blanket.2. Â Â Â Sit on it in the usual way.3. Â Â Â Stretch both the legs forward without bending.4. Â Â Â Bend the body in the forward direction taking the hands towards the toes.5. Â Â Â Catch hold of the toes with the fingers.6. Â Â Â Though this is easily said it is very difficult to do. In the early stages in bringing

the hands towards the toes there will be a wide gap. It may not beÂ Â Â possible tocatch the toes. In this case, the legs can be slightly bent to enable to catch the toes. Thengradually the legs can be in a straight position.

7. Â Â Â Come to the original position slowly.8. Â Â Â Breathe slowly during Asana time.9. Â Â Â It is enough that, a few seconds, period in this asana be practiced.

Fruit of Asana

Several wonderful results are got. Persons having big belly will develop a trim figure in duecourse. Liver, spleen will function normally. Piles is also cured. Diabetes can be cured in duecourse. One great personality has described that Sirasasana, Sarvangasana and Pachimothasanaare the three great boons given to us by the ancient Rishes.

MayurasanaMAYURASANA



The word â€œMayuraâ€• means peacock. Since this asana looks like a peacock the name isMayurasana. The ancient Rishis have observed, nature, animals, birds and creatures living inwater so closely that their pose if practiced for man will give special benefits. The bats rest withhead down. Monkeys catching hold of a twig hang down raising the head. Thus many asanashave some sort of similarity with the poses of several creatures.

Â

Procedure

This also comes under the category of difficult asana.

1. Spread a soft blanket.2. Place a cushon or a pillow on one end of the blanket.3. Lie down on the blanket, the cushon being near to the head.4. In this position the toes will be on the ground.

5.

Bend the hands at elbow and place the palmes facing the ground.6. Bring the elbows near the naval region.7. Gently raise both legs from the ground. Raise the head also.8. The whole weight of the body is on the elbows. Since the naval region is almost the

central point for the body there will be equal distance on the two sides.9. However, if you happen to fall down there is cushon so that the nose may not be hurt.10. Avoid spectacles during Asana.11. If it is not possible to raise both the legs begin with the raising of one leg at the initial

stage.12. Come to the original position slowly.13. A period of ten or twenty seconds is enough for normal person in the early stage.

Procedure

14. This also comes under the category of difficult asana.

Fruit of Asana



In a few seconds the entire body gets freshness. Indigestion will be removed. All kinds of livertroubles will be cured. This enables the Kundalini Sakthi to raise.

Note: there is a sub type in this asana which is described as Lolasana. This is easier thanMayurasana. According to my physical frame this is my favourite asana. The procedure is rather

simple also. Sit on Padhmasana and lie down.As in Mayurasana, place the elbows on the naval region. Raise the head and the legs inPadhmasana. Here the chance of falling down is not likely but cushon may be placed to protectthe nose. The benefits of Mayurasana are got fully by this also.

Matsyasana

MATSYASANA When the back bone has been bent in the forward direction in one asana, the next should be to bend the back bone in the backward direction. Hence after Sarvangasana this asana has to bedone. As the name describes this asana is likely to be in the form of a fish.

Â

Procedure

1. Spread a blanket folded length-wise.2. Sit on it in the usual manner.3. Have the legs in the Padhmasana pose.4. Gently lie down.5. Place the hands under the head palms facing the head.6. Then bend the back bone and also the head. In bending the neck great care has to be

taken so that the neck may not develop sprain.7. I have found a nice way to understand the angle to which the neck is bent. When we are

lying down we see the portion of the roof. If the neck is bent backward our vision falls onthe pictures or clock on the wall. If it is still bent our vision falls on table or something below the clock etc. If this process is suitable to you, you can also adopt this.

8. Then slowly come to the original position.

This asana can be practiced in another way also. Padhmasana position can be had after lyingdown.



Fruit of Asana

This asana is a cure for many diseases. This increases the digestion power to a great extent chesttroubles, Asthma, etc. are cured. Since the throat and bronchial portions are broadened morefresh air is intaken. The glands in the neck portion are nourished.

Note: Instead of placing the hands below the head some practise this asana in another way. Thetoes (of Padhmasana pose) are held by the fingers. If this is suitable method it can be practicedthis way also.

SiddhasanaSIDDHASANA

It is said many saints acquired super natural powers by sitting in this asana. Perhaps on account

of this the name has been given as such. â€œSiddhiâ€• means super natural power. Stout persons find this asana easy.

Procedure

1.

Spread a blanket four folded.2. Sit over it in the usual way.3. Place the heel of one leg just below the anus.4. Place the heel of the other leg below the generative organs. See that the regenerative

organs are not pressed.5. In this pose the joints of the two heels will be just touching each other.6. By a continued practice for a fortnight or so it will be easy.7. The hands may be placed in chin mindra style.8. Then come to the original position.

Fruit of Asana

One can conveniently sit in this pose for longer time. This asana will help to keep up brahmacharya. Because sitting is erect the internal organs are not pressed and they are kept intheir natural positions.Â

Note: Ladies need not do this Asana. There is a another variety under this with some slightmodification. The hands are joined as we do â€œNamaskarâ€• (a form of welcome). This poseis taken to seek boons and blessings. This is known asthamasana as described in writing.



Baddha PadmasanaBADDHA PADMASANA

This is another sub type under Padhmasana. There is an opinion that this is superior even toPadhmasana.

Procedure

1. Spread a blanket.2. Sit over it in the usual way.3. Place the legs as in Padhmasana.4. Take the right hand towards back and catch hold of the right toe.5. Take the left hand towards the back and catch hold of the left toe. Though this is easily

said, it is not quite easy to do. If it is not possible to catch the toe try to take the hand asfor back as possible.

6. Then come to the original position.

KukkutasanaKUKKUTASANA

This is another sub type of Padhmasana.Â

Procedure

4. Place the hands in between the leg and the thigh, palm facing the ground. 5. On the strength of the hands gently raise the body. 6. Then come to the original position.

HalasanaHALASANA

This asana gives a backward bend to the back bone. As the name goes, the pose looks like a plough.

Procedure

1. Spread a soft blanket.2. Lie down on it in the usual way.3. Place both hands on the sides in the usual way, palms facing the ground.4. Raise both the legs evenly without bending when the legs are raised the hands should not

be taken from the ground.

5. Making a curve of the spine bring the toes towards the ground away from the head.6. Bring the legs further so that the toes touch the ground.7. Breathe slowly during asana.8. Then come to the original position.

This asana can be practiced in three stages. At the first stage raise the legs half way. Then in thesecond stage give a bend to the spine so that the toes are nearer to the ground. In the third stagetouch the ground with the toes.

There is another variety which is rather difficult. As in Pachamothasana hold the toes with thefingers.

Fruit of Asana

The spinal region get much benefit. This asana removes lethargy. Chronic constipation isremoved. Wind trouble in stomach will go away. Liver trouble will be cured.Â

Note: Due to physical shape, some may not be able to take the legs, towards back position. Such persons can adopt this easy way. After lying down raise both the legs to the possible extent



giving a gap of two feet or so from the ground. Then bring the legs to the original position.Repeat this same six or eight times. This form of practice will enable to bring the legs towards back.

DhanurasanaDHANURASANA

The wor d â€œDhanurâ€• means a bow. If this asana is done correctly it will look like a bow. Inthis connection a clarification from Astrology seems relevant. For the sign Dhanur (Sagittarius),the Lord is Guru (Brahaspati). This house or Rasi, (as technically known) is considered a special beneficial sign.

Further in Gita we find Lord Krishnaâ€™s words as, â€œAmong the twelve months I am the

month of Dhanur.â€• (This period is between the middle of December to the middle of

January). So much greatness goes with this name. Hence this asana is great induced.

Procedure

1. Spread a blanket folded length wise.2. Lie down on it facing the ground.

3. Place both hands on sides as usual.4. Slowly bend the legs evenly without bearing space between the knee caps.5. Catch hold of the toes with the fingers raising the head also.6. It will be seen that by this the backbone is given a fine curve.

Stout persons may find it difficult. For them leaving a space between the knee will enable themto catch the toes. By continuous practice the space will be minimized.

Fruit of Asana

This asana gives many benefits. Indigestion, hunch back, Rheumatism, Pain in elbow joints and

Palm joints will be cured. Gastro intestinal troubles will also be cured.

There is still a difficult pose, as catching hold of alternate toes.
