Chapter 6: Dhyana Yoga, or Atmasamyama Yoga (The yoga of self-control) - 46 verses.
Krishna explains the correct posture for meditation (6:11-15) and
how to achieve samadhi (6:24-27).
Mudra means “gesture or attitude”
A mudra may involve the whole body in a combination of asana, pranayama, bandha and visualization technique.
Define as “ Mudam anandam dadati iti mudra” means the actions that gives us pleasure, bliss is called mudra.
Mudra denotes the sense of evoking a hidden power or uniting with something large.
In hatha yoga, mudras are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while in a seated posture, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of prana, bindu, boddhicitta, amrita or consciousness in the body.
When semen is preserved, it gets reabsorbed by the body and stored in the brain as Ojas Shakti or Spiritual Power. The vital force is closely linked with the nervous system. Hence, it is vitally necessary to preserve it carefully if one desires to have strong nerves. Girls, too, suffer great loss through having unchaste thoughts and giving way to lust. Vital nervous energy is lost. There is a corresponding loss of Veerya (vital fluid) in them as well.

One’s daily routine should begin with remembrance of god, you must get even as the lord is awakened.

Who is Yoga Guru?
As an AI language model, I am not a yoga guru, but I can provide you with information about yoga and its benefits. Yoga is a practice that originated in ancient India, and it involves physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation techniques to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
A yoga guru is a person who has dedicated their life to the practice and teaching of yoga. They have deep knowledge and experience in various forms of yoga and are considered experts in the field. A yoga guru can guide students in their yoga practice, help them develop a deeper understanding of yoga philosophy, and provide them with tools to improve their physical and mental health.
If you're interested in practicing yoga, you can start by finding a qualified yoga instructor in your area. They can guide you through the various postures and breathing exercises, and help you develop a personalized yoga practice that suits your individual needs and goals.
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya life history and his teachings
Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) was a renowned Indian yoga teacher and scholar who is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the modern history of yoga. He was born in Mysore, India, into a family of scholars and priests.
Krishnamacharya's teachings emphasized the importance of individualized instruction and adapting yoga practices to the needs of each individual student. He is considered the father of modern yoga, having developed and popularized many of the practices and techniques that are now commonly associated with modern yoga, including Vinyasa and the use of props to support yoga postures.
Krishnamacharya's teachings were heavily influenced by the classical Indian texts, including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. He also incorporated teachings from other traditions, including Ayurveda and Vedic chanting.
Krishnamacharya's students included many of the most important figures in the modern yoga world, including B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and his own son, T.K.V. Desikachar. Through his students, Krishnamacharya's teachings have had a profound impact on the development of modern yoga in the West and around the world.
Krishnamacharya's life and teachings are celebrated today through various yoga organizations and schools, including the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India, which was founded by his son Desikachar.
T.K.V. Desikachar life history and his teachings
T.K.V. Desikachar (1938-2016) was an Indian yoga teacher and the son of the influential yoga teacher, T. Krishnamacharya. Desikachar began studying yoga under his father's guidance at a young age, and went on to develop his own unique approach to teaching yoga.
In 1976, Desikachar founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) in Chennai, India, with the aim of promoting the teachings of his father and making yoga more accessible to people from all backgrounds. KYM has since become one of the most well-respected yoga schools in India, known for its focus on individualized instruction and the integration of traditional yoga practices with modern scientific research.
Desikachar's teachings emphasized the importance of adapting yoga practices to the individual needs and abilities of each student. He believed that yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their age, physical condition, or level of experience. His approach to teaching yoga was based on a deep understanding of the principles of yoga and the individual needs of each student, and he encouraged his students to develop their own personal practice based on their unique needs and interests.

In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
