FUNDAMENTALS OF YOGA

According to yogic view diseases and ailments are the result of faulty ways of living, bad habits, lack of proper knowledge of things related to individual’s life and improper food. The diseases are thus the resultant state of short as prolonged malfunctioning of the body system.  This malfunctioning is caused by an imbalanced internal condition, created due to certain errors of the individuals.

The yogic process of treatment comprises three steps

Fruits, salad, leafy vegetables, green vegetables and pulses.  Whatever be the variations in diet – chart of patients, all of them are asked to follow some basic principles of eating which means.

  • To eat slowly
  • To eat only 85% of the capacity.
  • To avoid drinking water while eating

In some of the diseases, the practice of pranayama together with the asanas becomes essential for good results.

In certain cases. Specific kriyas, bandhas, mudras and yogic techniques are used for the desired result.

A large number of diseases are cured within two months of yoga practice.  In certain cases, it takes about four months or even more.  Diseases that take a longer time are diabetes, obesity, ulcer, mental health cases etc.

PROPER KNOWLEDGE:

 Though most of the patients are cured with only proper diet and yoga practice. There are some cases which are complicated.  Some patients develop diseases and disorders on account of their false assumptions, unhealthy habits, and lack of proper knowledge about life, nature and society.

In such cases a lot of things need to be told to the patient which are informative conceptual, theoretical and also philosophical, yogic literature is very rich in this respect and is divided into two main categories.

  • Spiritual interpretation of things
  • Scientific interpretation of things.
