THE PRACTICE

Yoga is a transformational practice, not a feel good practice.

स्वस्तिप्रजाभ्यः परिपालयंतां
न्यायेन मार्गेण महीं महीशाः ।
svasti-prajā-bhyaḥ pari-pāla-yaṁtāṁ
nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṁ mahīśāḥ |
May the well-being of all people be protected
By the powerful and mighty leaders be with law and justice.

गोब्राह्मणेभ्यः शुभमस्तु नित्यं
लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनोभवंतु ॥
go-brāhmaṇebhyaḥ śubham-astu nityaṁ
lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino-bhavaṁtu ||
May good success be with all cows (divinity) and scholars
May all (samastah) the worlds (lokha) become (bhavantu) happy (sukhino).

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः
auṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
Om peace, peace, peace
