Yoga Mudras for Life

Image
YOGA - HAND & FINGER POSTURES Mudra is the science of hand and finger postures. It can help to cure bodily ailments in a wonderful manner. It affects the body's energetic sysytem and the flow of prana (life energy) within it. It actually helps in balancing the five elements ( panch-tattvas ) in the human system to their optimal levels. A mudrā [muːˈdrɑː](Sanskrit: मुद्रा, lit. "seal") is a symbolic or ritual gesture in Hinduism and Buddhism. While some mudrās involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and fingers. A mudrā is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal of authenticity employed in the iconography and spiritual practice of Indian religions and traditions of Dharma. In yoga, mudrās are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing excercises), generally while seated in Vajrasana pose, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of prana in the body.

Image
  Her Life: Sarada Devi, (1853—1920), born Saradamani Mukhopadhyaya, was the wife and spiritual counterpart of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a nineteenth century mystic of Bengal. Sarada Devi is also reverentially addressed as the Holy Mother. Sarada Devi played an important role in the growth of the Ramakrishna Movement. Sarada Devi was born in Jayrambati. At the age of five she was bethrothed to Ramakrishna, whom she joined at Dakshineswar when she was in her late teens. According to her biographers, both lived lives of unbroken continence, showing the the ideals of the householder and of the monastic ways of life. After Ramakrishna's passing away, Sarada Devi stayed most of the time either at Jayrambati or at the Udbodhan office, Calcutta. Her whole life is regarded as one of service, self-sacrifice—to her husband, to her brothers and their faimiles, and to her spiritual children. The disciples of Ramakrishna regarded her as their own mother, and after their guru's passin...
