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.

 Garuda-asana : The Eagle Pose
Garuda Asana - Eagle Posture
   
Posture:   Garuda-asana - The Eagle Pose
Translation:  The Sanskrit word garuda means eagle. In Hindu mythology Garuda is known as the king of birds. He transports the God Vishnu (shown with a bow and arrow in the illustration to the left) and is said to be eager to help humanity fight againt deamons.
 Pronunciation:  ga-roo-dah-sa-na
 Difficulty:  (3)


   Durations/Repetitions:
1 Stand with the feet together and the arms by your sides (see the tada-asana or mountain pose).
 
2 Draw the left foot upward bending the knee and wrap the left foot around your right leg as you rest the back of your left thigh on the right thigh.
 
3 Cross your arms at the elbows, left over right.
 
4 Join the palms of your hands together keeping the fingers pointed upward.
 
5 Inhale and hold the posture for the duration of the inhaled breath.
6 Exhale and return to the tada-asana. Repeat the posture on the opposite side, wrapping the right leg over the left and the right arm over left.
 
   Comments:
The Garuda-asana will strengthen the legs, knees and ankles. It stretches and tones muscles of the leg and can help relieve cramps of the legs.
   Durations/Repetitions:

Hold the  hala-asana for as long as you are comfortable. 20-30 seconds is fine for early attempts, increase the time gradually as you become more comfortable. You can also try holding the posture for as long as you can hold the inhaled breath. Repeat 2 or 3 times on each leg.
