Yoga is extremely helpful in giving me strength to practice brahmacharya. I have been doing yoga for around 4 years now. After a good session of yoga, I feel very relaxed and powerful. I tell myself that I should never give up yoga, not even for a single day. But somehow due to other “important” commitments, i had stopped my routine yoga practice for about a month.

It resulted in me being lethargic, feeling sleepy all the time, drowsy etc. So, I’ve firmly resolved that I shall practice yoga every single day. I’ve listed out 27 asanas which I plan to do daily. I’m mainly oriented towards postures that help me maintain my chastity, such as Shirsasana (head stand), Vrkshasana (Hand Stand), Brahmacharyasana etc. An hour long yoga session gives me such energy and zeal that I’m unable to describe.

Shirsasana is the king of asanas. It’s a cure for innumerable diseases. It causes the semen to move down into the brain and helps formation of Ojas. It sharpens memory and the intellect. I pray god for keeping in me alive, the motivation and enthusiasm to practice yoga daily.

I’ll post about each posture in the blog entries to come. Stay tuned.
