“Aabhar Yoga” is a pathway of becoming more than just machinery, working in a cyclical motion. It’s a step by step guide to break from the shackles of slavery of compulsions of life-long mental conditioning, and go beyond survival instinct to become the best version of one’s-Self. The author believes the book to be the practical guide to achieve optimal health. It’s a complete system of knowing, understanding, exploring, and gaining control over one’s life, by controlling its instruments: body, senses, and mind.
The book is divided into four sections i.e. Introduction, Understanding, Learning and Implementing, each emphasizing onto its unique aspect. The Introduction provides the introduction to the basic concepts of yoga like Yog, Karma, Aabhar, DHyana, etc. and uniting with the nature.
Section 2 consists of insightful and devotional prayers meticulously designed to align one’s practice to the different elements of Nature, Self; Life, to get completely absorbed in their energy, with detailed instructions of twenty “Namaskar” sequences in the continuation: from renowned twelve steps “Surya Namaskar” to fifty steps “Parmatma Namaskar” (never explained before), and thirty four afterward practice’s routine, beginner’s to advanced level, comprising “Asana’s”, “Mudra’s”, “Pranayama’s”, relaxation, and “Dhyana”.
In third and the forth part of the book, the author Yogacharya Ankur has emphasized on the learning and implementation aspect of asanas, meditation, balance, dhyana and mudras through illustrations. The book solves all the practical problems that the practitioners face while practicing “Yoga” on their own, as it doesn’t only provide demonstration of doing the practices, but also combines them to form an actual and powerful practice routine.
So, practitioners will neither find the practices repetitive, nor monotonous and dull, which will assure continuity and regularity, and a strong foundation for the higher practices of Meditation, which eventually leads to that, which we all seek, the ultimate Union with our “Cosmic Nature”.
