ABOUT BOGA | विषये बोगा

GURU G. DEVELOPED BOGA DURING HIS TRAVELS IN BINDIA.

BOGA IS A MIXED SUBSET OF THE:

THE OLD SCHOOL HATHA YOGA ASANAS.
THE ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA CHIKITSA PRIMARY SERIES ASANAS.
AS WELL AS THE ASHTANGA YOGA PHILOSOPHY AS IT IS MENTIONED IN THE BHAGAVAD GITA.

I.E. YAMA, NIYAMA, ASANA, PRANAYAMA, PRATYAHARA, DHARANA, DHYANA AND SAMADHI.

THESE ARE THE EIGHT LIMBS OR THE MEANS TO ATTAIN MOKSHA.

THIS ENTIRE PRACTICE METHOD IS A MOKSHA SHASTRA – A TOOL TO REACH SELF-REALIZATION.

WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE SUCH A BAD THING TO REALIZE WHILST LIVING TOWARDS THE NEXT STEP IN ONES SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.

BOGA, LIKE ANY OTHER PHILOSOPHY (THE PROPER WORD WOULD BE “DARSHANA“) DOES NOT OFFER A HIERARCHY SYSTEM WHERE PATANJALI BEING ON THE TOP OF THE SYSTEM;

IT IS A STREAM OF KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS GROWN OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

THERE ARE MANY RISHIS EVEN BEFORE PATANJALI.

BOGA HAD BEEN INFLUENCED BY VEDANTA, TANTRA, BUDDHIST METHODS TOO.

SIMILARLY, BOGA HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN REFINING OTHER STREAMS OF KNOWLEDGE TOO, OVER THE YEARS SUCH AS BEARKOUR AND BEARKIDO.

PATANJALI’S ASHTANGA YOGA IS ONE OF THE METHODS (MOST POPULAR NOW) TO ATTAIN SAMADHI/MOKSHA.

IF YOU GENERALIZE “THE BOGA OF EIGHT LIMBS” IT IS NOT TRUE. MANY GURUS /ACHARYAS HAVE TRIED TO FIND THEIR WAYS BASED ON THE EXPERIENCES AND TRIED TO GIVE PROPER METHODS.

HOWEVER, ONE THING THE MOST COMMON AMONG ALL THESE IS YOGA/BOGA BEING THE ‘MOKSHA SHASTRA” – IT IS A METHOD OF SELF-REALIZATION.

BOGA IS A SUBSET OF ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA, WHICH IS A SUBSET OF HATHA YOGA ORIGINATED BY THE TEACHINGS OF YOGI VAMANA EXPLAINED IN HIS TEXT ‘YOGA KURANTA.’

BOGA, AS WELL AS ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA IS NOT ASHTANGA YOGA. PATANJALI, IN HIS YOGA SUTRAS FIRST MENTIONED “ASHTANGA YOGA” AND THIS IS A LIFESTYLE COMPRISING EIGHT DIFFERENT FACTORS.

WHAT IS BOGA?

AMONG EIGHT LIMBS OF ASHTANGA YOGA OF PATANJALI, ASANA IS THE THIRD LIMB. ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA IS A SUBSET IN THE ASANA SECTION.

ALL ASANA PRACTICE METHODS, BE IT TRADITIONAL HATHA YOGA, IYENGAR’S YOGA, VINYASA YOGA, OR BOGA, ALL ARE DIFFERENT FORMS OF HATHA YOGA. ALL THESE DIFFERENT ASANA PRACTICE METHODS HAVE EVOLVED ON THEIR OWN OVER THE PERIOD OF TIME AND BECAME POPULAR.

EVERY ASANA PRACTICE METHOD HAS ITS OWN PERSPECTIVE.

BUT IN THE END, ALL ARE DIFFERENT FORMS OF HATHA YOGA.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN:
BOGA | ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA | ASHTANGA YOGA

PATTABHI JOIS, THE MASTER TEACHER WHO TAUGHT THIS PRACTICE METHOD ALL OVER THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS MENTIONED IT AS ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA.

HOWEVER, THIS LONGER NAME GOT ITS SHORT FORM AND BECAME ASHTANGA OVER TIME. PATANJALI CALLS HIS EIGHT LIMB YOGA AS ASHTANGA YOGA AND OFTEN PEOPLE GET CONFUSED TO THINK THAT BOTH ARE THE SAME. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA IS A FORM OF HATHA YOGA WHILE HATHA YOGA IS A GOOD FIRST STEP IN THE PRACTICE-PHILOSOPHY OF ASHTANGA YOGA OF PATANJALI.

BOGA WAS CREATED BY GURU G. TO ASSIST THE NEWER, MORE WESTERN INFLUENCED PRACTITIONERS THROUGHOUT THE INITIAL STAGES OF LEARNING ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA AND THE ASHTANGA YOGA OF PATANJALI WITH THE INTENTION TO MAKE IT EVEN EASIER TO INTELLECTUALLY AND PHYSICALLY DIGEST THE PRIMARY SERIES OF ASHTANGA YOGA CHIKITSA, DUE TO ITS GENUINE COMPLEXITY.

BENEFITS OF BOGA

AS YOU START PRACTISING BOGA, YOU WILL BE REPEATING THE SAME ROUTINE.

THIS METHOD HELPS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

REPETITION OF THE ASANA GIVES A SENSE OF THE ALIGNMENT OF THE PHYSICAL BODY PROPERLY.
YOU CAN MEASURE THE PROGRESS IN EACH ASANA EVERY DAY.
YOU CAN FIND THE SUBTLE CHANGES IN THE PHYSICAL BODY IN THAT PARTICULAR ASANA.
THE REAL SENSE OF DEEPENING THE PRACTICE PREVAILS.
THE TEMPTATION TO FIND NEW ASANAS WITHOUT PROPER DEPTH IN THE PRACTICE IS CURBED.
DEVELOP DISCIPLINE.

BALANCE CHAKRAS

‘CHAKRA’ IS A SANSKRIT WORD FOR ‘WHEEL’.

CHAKRAS ARE INVISIBLE, SPINNING, SPHERICAL ENERGY CENTRES PRESENT IN THE SUBTLE BODY ALONG THE SPINE.

THEY ARE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE AND END AT THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

EACH CHAKRA CORRESPONDS TO A VERY SPECIFIC AREA OF THE BODY.

7 CHAKRAS PRESENT IN OUR SUBTLE BODY (UNSEEN & UNTOUCHED BODY)

IN A PERFECTLY HEALTHY PERSON, THE BODY, MIND & SPIRIT BENEFITS FROM BALANCED CHAKRAS.

WHEN THERE IS AN IMBALANCE OF ANY OF THESE CHAKRAS, WE FEEL THE EXACT OPPOSITE BASED ON THE CHAKRA/S THAT ARE OUT OF BALANCE IN OUR BODY.

BUT WITH CONSISTENT BOGA PRACTICE, THE CHAKRAS WILL BALANCE AND YOU WILL NOTICE BENEFICIAL ENERGETIC DIFFERENCES.

BOGA NIDRA

BOGA NIDRA IN SANSKRIT TRANSLATES TO BOGIC SLEEP IN NEW ENGLISH.

BOGA NIDRA MEANS TO SLEEP CONSCIOUSLY.

IT IS A STATE OF DEEP RELAXATION THAT ENCOURAGES US TO GO INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND HELPS MELT ACCUMULATED TENSIONS & STRESS.

WE ALL HAVE THOUGHTS THAT HAVE PATTERNS THAT STRENGTHEN WITH TIME.

BOGA NIDRA TRAINS THE BRAIN TO VIEW OUR THOUGHTS FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

RATHER THAN BEING FULLY ABSORBED BY YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU ARE ABLE TO MENTALLY STEP ASIDE AND ALLOW YOUR BODY TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS/ASANAS.

THIS NEW PERSPECTIVE GUIDES YOU TO RETRAIN YOUR PATTERN OF THINKING AND LISTENING TO YOUR BODY.

INTERESTINGLY BOGA NIDRA & THE KOSHAS ARE VERY CLOSELY CONNECTED.

THE MEDITATIVE PRACTICE OF BOGA NIDRA TAKES YOU THROUGH THE PANCHA KOSHA SYSTEM, OR THE FIVE LAYERS OF THE SELF.

EACH OF THE FIVE KOSHAS IS INTERCONNECTED TO BOGA NIDRA.

LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN BOGA, ENJOY THE PROCESS AND THE JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF-AWARENESS AND INNER JOY.
