    Assignment 7 for FDP on Yogadarshan

    Submitted by Dr Devasia Muruppath Antony ( devasiamantony@hinducollege.ac.in)

    How Yoga develops the overall personality.

    Yoga in theory and practice aims at the developing the integral personality of the sadhaka.

    For this purpose Yoga provides a systematic instruction to attain inner peace, clarity, self-

    control and Realisation in and through what is called Ashtanga Yoga. This Ashtanga Yoga

    consists of the following steps:

    1. Yama: This include ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, and apraigraha.

    2. Niyama: This includes shaucha, santosha, tapas, svadhyaya, and iswarapranidhana.

    3. Asana: It means steady and comfortable posture. The asanas are primarily aimed at

    disciplining the body.

    4. Pranayama: This means control of inhaling and exhaling.

    5. Pratyahara: This implies controlling the senses and withdrawing the senses from

    their objects.

    6. Dharana: It indicates fixing the mind on the object of meditation.

    7. Dhyana: It means mediation consisting the undisturbed flow f thought.

    8. Samadhi: Absolute concentration in which all the modification of the mind cease to

    exist. There are two types of Samadhi: Samprajnata ( conscious) and Asampranjata

    (supra-conscious).

    A close examination of the theory and practice of Ashtanga Yoga reveals that it takes the

    human person, the sadhaka, in a holistic manner. For According to Patanjali Yoga, the

    human person is neither only body, nor only mind, nor only soul/spirit. The practice of

    Asanas as prescribed by Patanjali results in the overall development of the personality of

    the Sadhaka. This is what the 2nd sutra of Yogasutram tells us:

    ‘Yogaschittavrittinorodhah’.
