Different Styles: Adhyatma Yoga

September 8th 2008 16:14
Adhyatma Yoga is another Yoga style issuing from the ancient texts, this time the Upanishads. The core theory is to use self realization generated from Adhyatma Yogic practices in order to integrate inner personal consciousness with Brahmic consciousness. The philosophy is based on non-duality, Advaita Vedanta, also present in the Bhagavad Gita.

This Yoga form is a metaphysical and spiritual style. In this form of Yoga practice, the student should concentrate on three areas. The paths of devotion, action or service, and knowledge are all important for practitioners. The teachings lead the practitioner to recognize their body and mind as clothing with the inner spirit as the important part. This encourages equinimity and spiritual freedom. Daily life and meditation are interconnected.


Based upon quotes from Dr Shastri, learning can come in one of two formats - Nature can teach us slowly, or saints, teachers and scriptures can teach us more rapidly. The spiritual wisdom is passed from teacher to student without the use of verbal communication - but internally through 'secret and swift' methods. If properly received, their will be great changes within. This leads to an enthusiasm for further knowledge and the desire to seek such. This will lead to an observation of ahimsa, the need to know more, and the cultivation or reverence and devotion. At this point, experience of the higher teachings may commence.
