I do not consider yoga as just a practice,rather,in Niranjana Yoga Samhita',yoga is grouped into four categories:practice,sadhana,lifestyle and culture.This is how I see yoga asa practice.I see yoga as a lifestyle and I see yoga as a culture.This is the progression of yoga" The Yogadrishti (Yogavision) series of satsangs consists of discourses given by Swami Nirnajanananda Saraswati in Munger as part of the new phase of sannyasa life that he has embarked upon since 2009. The theme of the satsangs Swamiji gave in August 2011 at Ganga Darshan Vishwa Yogapeeth was Yoga in daily life.Swamiji spoke on the purpose of yoga in one's life and the practical integration of the various systems for body,mind and spirit.He gave a detailed description of the yoga capsules that everyone can include in their daily life.Swamiji elucidated the spiritual sciences and traditions in a classical and deep yet light manner,bringing to life the insight and wisdom of the ancient seers and scriptures.
Guided by his guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, from birth, at the age of four Niranjanananda came to live with him at the Bihar School of Yoga in Munger where he received training in yogic and spiritual sciences through yoga nidra.
In 1971 he was initiated into Dashnami sannyasa, and thereafter for eleven years he lived overseas, mastering skills in varied areas, acquiring an understanding of different cultures and helping establish Satyananda Yoga ashrams and centres in Europe, Australia, North and South America.
At the behest of his guru, he returned to Munger, India in 1983 to guide the activities of Bihar School of Yoga. In 1990 he was initiated as a paramahamsa sannyasin and in 1995 anointed spiritual preceptor in succession to Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
Author of many classic books on yoga, tantra and the upanishads, Swami Niranjan is a magnetic source of wisdom on all aspects of yogic philosophy, practice and lifestyle. He ably combines tradition with modernity as he continues to nurture and spread his guru’s mission from his base at Munger.
This book is a nice introduction to basic lifestyle changes a person can accommodate to live a more "yogic" life.
If you are interested in yoga but are caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and cannot devote much time to yoga practice, this book is for you. It has practical suggestions that you can incorporate into your daily routine, like waking up in the morning with a Sankalpa (an affirmation of sorts), dietary restrictions you can follow, simple asanas and pranayamas that you can do, etc.
I love this inspiring book. It is a guide to making small, cumulative changes in every day life. It’s brought together many of the practices I’ve learned in a relatively disjointed way over the years and made a more conscious yogic lifestyle seem attainable in small and sustainable steps.
