Jog Chikitsa 2 by Dipen Sengupta [Hardcover]

"First the body, then the mind come together to form a human being. The most vibrant entity on this earth is a human. Within their limited lifespan, humans desire to live with a healthy body and a cheerful mind. However, the union of a healthy body and a joyful mind has now become quite rare. Various medical treatments have failed to achieve this goal. Yet, ancient Indian sages discovered a treatment method through which people can lead healthy lives both physically and mentally. This method is now widely known as yoga or yogic therapy. Disillusioned by the complex processes and practical repercussions of various treatments, today's people have become interested in yogic therapy. The foundation of the disease-free life that yogic therapy promises lies in the third limb of Ashtanga Yoga mentioned in the Yoga Sutras: 'Asana.' The word 'Asana' can be broken down into 'A', 'S', and 'N.' The letter 'A' means 'everywhere,' 'S' means 'God,' and 'N' means 'knowledge.' Thus, 'Asana' implies the attainment of a broad mindset by overcoming all obstacles and challenges with the knowledge of God everywhere. The primary and only path of Asana practice is to conquer the wave of the body through obstructive science. Like the first volume of 'Yoga Therapy,' this second volume also features a detailed illustrated presentation of various Asanas. To achieve liberation from physical and mental illnesses through specific processes of movement and positioning of the body's limbs, this book is indispensable. Just like the first volume, 'Yoga Therapy Volume II' is published based on utmost care, caution, and scientific methods."
