Krishnamacharya – The Forgotten Hatha Yogi

Sri Krishnamacharya was born on November 18, 1888 in Muchukundapura, in the district of Chitradurga of Karnataka.

raised in an orthodox Iyengar family he underwent schooling in Sanskrit, the Veda and the shad-darshanas. It was his father, Sri Tirumalai Srinivasa Tatacharya who taught him his first lessons in Asana and Pranayama.
After a long journey as a student of various Indian arts and sciences, including Ayurveda and Tarka, he found himself on a quest to find a Yoga-guru at the age of 31. Having befriended Lord Irwin and having earned favour from him through his ayurvedic and healing influence on
on the Viceroy, Sri Krishnamacharya was able to enter deep into the Himalayas into Tibet with the Viceroy’s help After two and a half months of walking, he found his guru to-be, Sri Ramamohana Brahmachari at a cave at the foot of Kailasha. Eventually, after years of abhyasa and
tapasya, Sri Krishnamacharya returned to pass on the knowledge he had acquired at his guru’s feet. He lived to be a hundred years old and left his body in 1989. Below are some very old photos of the yogi demonstrating some yogasanas.

पंचाग में महूरत का महत्व क्या है?

प्राचीन कला जिससे गृह चाल और नक्षत्रो की सही गणना कैसे होती थी?

Information by - Swami kevalya ji 🙏


हिन्दू धर्म में किसी भी कार्य की शुरुआत से पहले पंडित द्वारा एक विशेष मुहूर्त निकलवाया जाता है | कार्य मंगलमय और लाभदायक हो इसलिए सही वार, नक्षत्र और तिथि देखी जाती है और इसलिए पंचांग का उपयोग होता है | कौनसा दिन और समय कितना शुभ है इसकी सटीक जानकारी पंचांग के माध्यम से आसानी से


प्राप्त हो सकती है पर इसको जानना भी एक कला है क्युकी हर कोई इतनी गूढ़ गणना करने में असमर्थ होता है |
पंचांग के पाँच अंग :

1) नक्षत्र: पंचांग का पहले अंग है नक्षत्र और प्राचीन ज्योतिष शास्त्र अनुसार 27 नक्षत्र होते है पर मुहूर्त की गणना करते है एक और नक्षत्र यानी 28 वे

नक्षत्र को भी गिना जाता है जो की "अभिजीत" नक्षत्र है | सभी मांगलिक कार्य जैसे शादी, मुंडन, सगाई, गृह प्रवेश आदि से पहले नक्षत्रो का सही स्थान पर होना बहुत ज़रूरी है |

2) तिथी : पंचांग का दूसरा अंग तिथी है और यह 16 प्रकार की होती है और इनमे भी पूर्णिमां और अमावस

दो सबसे महत्वपूर्ण तिथियां होती है | यह दोनों महीने में एक बार ज़रूर आती है | हिन्दू कैलेंडर के हिसाब से एक महीने को दो भागो में बाटा जाता है जिसे कृष्णा पक्ष और शुक्ल पक्ष के नाम से जान जाता है | अमावस और पूर्णिमा के बीच के समय को शुक्ल पक्ष कहा जाता है वही पूर्णिमा से अमावस के

9 evening habits that make all the difference:

1. Write down tomorrow's 3:3:3 plan

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual

Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."

Separating your life and work is key.

3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment

Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.

Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.

4. Lay out clothes

Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
