जागरूकता के अलावा कुछ भी महत्वपूर्ण नहीं है,क्योंकि केवल जागरूकता को मौत नहीं ले जा सकती । बाकि सब कुछ छीन लिया जाएगा, क्योंकि सब कुछ बाहर से आता है। केवल जागरूकता भीतर से उमगती है। इसे छीना नहीं जा सकता।                       Nothing is important except Awareness. Since it cannot be taken away by death. Everything else will be snatched. Only Awareness springs from within. It cannot be robbed off.

Anjanaya-asana - The Salutation PoseThe Sanskrit word anjaneya means salutation or praise from the root anj which means to honor, to celebrate, to anoint.

"As inumerable cups full of water, many reflections of the sun are seen, but the sun is the same; similarly individuals, like cups, are inumerable, but spirit, like the sun, is one." 
The Shiva-samhita I.35 II.42-43.

Comments:

The anjaneya-asana combines several postures and mudras (gestures) in a fluid, evolving flow that combines motion, stretching and holds. It delivers great benefits for the back, arms, chest, legs and hips. Regular practice will strengthen concentration and improve balance.

Perform this posture with a sense of reverence and praise. Take a moment to reside in silence and peace as your hands are held at the heart in the gesture (mudra) of salutation (anjali-mudra). Keep the intention of praise in mind as you extend your arms skyward. Feel your entire body-mind-heart extending outward in recognition of the sacredness of life.
