AKASHIC REVELATION
WHEN SEEN WITH THE SIGHT OF PURE KNOWLEDGE, THE UNIVERSE APPEARS FILLED WITH THE ESSENCE OF BRAHMAN, THE ULTIMATE EXPANSIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS THAT SIGHT [DṚṢṬIḤ] WHICH UPLIFTS AND RAISES, NOT THE LOOKING AT THE TIP OF ONE'S NOSE.
IN THE SCIENCE OF YOGA, CONTEXT AND INTENTION ARE EVERYTHING. WHY YOU BEND YOUR BODY MATTERS: FOR WHATEVER INTENTION YOU MOVE THE BODY, THAT EXPERIENCE WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOU. THAT IS WHY IN KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA, WE MAINTAIN THE SPACE OF YOGA AS A RITUAL, AS A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN PARAMASHIVAM AND US. WITH EVERY ASANA, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A STRONG VISUALIZATION OF THAT ASANA. MANY ASANA NAMES ARE A DIRECT MEDITATION UPON DIFFERENT GODS AND GODDESSES. SOME ASANAS TAKE THE FORM OF SPECIFIC ANIMALS OR OTHER LIVING CREATURES. WHEN WE KEEP A CLEAR VISUALIZATION OF EACH FORM WE ARE EMBODYING, THE BODY CAN SETTLE INTO THE DEPTH-EXPERIENCE OF EACH AND EVERY POSTURE.
MANY TIMES PARAMASIVA TELLS IN THE SCRIPTURES THAT ONENESS CAN BE EXPERIENCED THROUGH SEEING HIM IN EVERYTHING, IN EACH AND EVERY POINT WE BRING OUR GAZE TO. THROUGH THE SEQUENCE OF 108 ASANAS, YOU WILL BE GUIDED TO MEDITATE UPON SPECIFIC VISUALIZATIONS FOR EACH ASANA.
