| About Ananda Marga Yoga: |
The method of Ananda Marga is based on Tantra.
The root "Tan" means "to expand" and "Tra" means "liberator". Tantra is the spiritual science that liberates the mind through expansion.
A special system of Tantric practices was introduced by Shiva more than 7,000 years ago. It includes techniques for deep silent meditation as well as many other yougic practices to balance the body and mind.
Our method is a very personalized one. You may start attending the classes (Yoga or Meditation) but as you move forward you will be receiving personal instructions from the Ananda Marga Acaryas (Monks-Dada or Nuns-Didi). You will learn how to practice at home every day. When you make it part of your daily routine you will get continuous and lasting personal benefits.
The teachings of Ananda Marga are available free of charge. We accept donations to further our social service projects and to maintain the monks and nuns. We believe that it is the right of every human being to have access to these techniques which can be very beneficial to individual and social well-being. All fees stated for our classes are suggested donations and if you have any financial difficulties you are welcome without any problem.
The practices taught by Ananda Marga include but are not limited to the "eight limbs of Yoga".
There are eight parts to this method.
Part 1 and 2 are principles on which one can base one's relationship with oneself - "Niyama"; and one's relationship with others - "Yama". These principles help to attain balance in the first layer of mind, the conscious mind.
The third part is the "Asanas". Commonly known as Hatha Yoga. These are the psycho-physical exercises of Yoga. It is the most common aspect of Yoga and it helps to keep a healthy and balanced body and mind.
The fourth part is "Pranayama" or the control of the vital energy through breathing techniques. This is an advanced practice and in our system is taught personally by an Acarya (monk or nun) to the individual.
The fifth part is "Pratyahara"--introspection or withdrawal of the mind from external objects. Happiness lies within one's mind.
The sixth part is "Dharana"--concentration--only a concentrated mind can have the power to go deep within and perceive the flow of consciousnees. There are special techniques to concentrate the mind on the different cakras (psychic energy centers) situated along the spinal chord.
The seventh part is "Dhyana"--meditation--special technique of meditation which makes the mind flow towards the Goal.
The eighth part is "Samadhi"--the attainment of the Goal of Yoga--the union between the Microcosm (Individual consciousness) and the Macrocosm (Cosmic consciousness). A state of perfect happiness and absolute peace.
During the classes you will be introduced gradually to the various practices, starting from Asanas, Yama and Niyama, and Mantra meditation. The instructors are monks of Ananda Marga or have been trained directly by the monks. |
