Yoga and Religious Synthesis

culture in which Sanskrit is the primordial language.

Concept
Yoga and Cultural Synthesis
�
“[Yoga] would work as a uniting force,
without making any mention of the
particular religion. [However] there are
different currents in the modern yoga
[…] displaying the ego of certain
personalities. Hence the urgent need is
unity in preaching and practice, whether
it is religion, secularism and yoga.”
(A. Y. SATHAYE, Religion, Secularism and
Yoga )

Concept
Basic difference between
'Teacher' & 'Man of Religion'
Teacher TeacherTeacherTeacher is
� The teacher merely arranges the environment for learning.(Teaching Methods for Yogic Practices)
� Education [・・・] doesn't violate the dignity and freedom of the learner. Any process of behavioral change can't pass as education.(Values and Education:Philosophical

� The guru is not a teacher, the guru is an awakener.
(
Darkness to light : Guru as Awaker)⇒Thus, he can urge students to change their behaviors.
Concept

Minimum Knowledge about Yoga
�
Minimum knowledge about Yoga is necessary
for students to understand 'what they do now' 'what they do now' 'what they do now' 'what they do now' .
�
It is also necessary for students to distinct
'what is correct Yoga'
'what is correct Yoga' 'what is correct Yoga' 'what is correct Yoga' .

Method Concept
Safety Measures (1)
Traditional text has less description about Salient Points. But,We don't make big mistakes by following these four salient points from P.Y.S..
“SthiraSukham Asanam” (P.Y.S.Ⅱ46) 1. Stability (physical state & objective) 2. Comfort (mental state & subjective)
“Prayatnasaithilya anantasamapattibhyam” (P.Y.SⅡ47) 3. Minimum Effort (physical state)
4. Awareness (mental state)

Doubtful situation
�
In Yoga studio, almost all students are doubtful
about Yoga.
First, teacher has to make the atmosphere that
they can listen his talk. “ From Asana to Talk From Asana to Talk From Asana to Talk From Asana to Talk ” is
one of good solutions for it.
�
“ Don't evaluate Don't evaluate Don't evaluate Don't evaluate ” and “ No judgment No judgment No judgment No judgment ” are one of
Yogic concepts to make good atmosphere in
this situation. So, Teacher let students to
Observe
Observe Observe Observe their performance during Asana.
Method Concept
Feedbacks of the class
Students are always not fixed.
Teacher should accumulate feedbacks regularly
from students
from students from students from students and by himself by himself by himself by himself to reach
desired goal
desired goal desired goal desired goal .
Teacher is also motivated by motivated by motivated by motivated by these feedbacks.
