TOP 30 Yoga Poses In Sanskrit (EXPLAINED)

[@pratyooshsingh236]

Sir, your video is excellent. I just wanted to suggest a minor correction. Actually 'Baka' means 'Crane/Heron' so, 'Bakasana' would mean 'Crane Pose'. 'Kaka' means 'Crow', so 'Crow Pose' is actually 'Kakasana'.

[@TheKaizenProjekt]

You're right - thank you for the suggestion.

[@pratyooshsingh236]

@@mah-007 sir, 'Mal' actually comes in hindi from Sanskrit only. And the Asana is written in devanagari script as 'मलासन' and not as 'मालासन'. Devanagari script is used in writing both Hindi and Sanskrit languages. Also the Asana does not resemble a garland in any way. The Asana is simply a squatting posture. Since back in those days all people used this posture to excrete feces, this Asana came to be known as मलासन (malasana).

All over India, ancient stone carvings found and placed in palaces are in Tamil/Granthai language, also pathanjali scripts, but in Google we see Sanskrit everywhere, that's the power of digital media.. History can be altered and appear it as truth....

[@TheKaizenProjekt]

I'm not sure what your comment is in reference to - care to elaborate?

[@jaideep5613]

@@TheKaizenProjekt My comment and point was every video across KZbin Sanskrit is used to denote yoga, spirituality etc., But there are stone scripts that even Tamil is used in Patanjali period who is believed to gave yoga to world... I am more curious to know why no were mentions of Tamil language in digital media when there is a talk of yoga....As other country people usually refer digital media to know about India and its culture, they must not always be presented with wrong information and that's my concern..... Its not the comment for this channel but in general...

[@jaideep5613]

The Best way to see these asanas origin is to find the etymology of the asana name... Etymology if properly seen will always end in Tamil language... Most Indians know this, I am typing here so other nationals also knows history and its origin....

[@TheKaizenProjekt]

I'm sure there is overlap as Tamil/Sanskrit are both ancient languages. But I think using words like 'best' and 'always' makes a statement sound dogmatic, and thus weakens the argument.

I passed...

[@patrickmccartney7544]

It is not /asan/ in sanskrit. It is /āsana/. In hindi the inherent vowel is dropped and that is why people say /āsan/. The [ā] is a locative affix. It denotes the place at, in, or upon which something occurs or exists. It is the same [ā] as in /āśrama/, which means the place of śrama (effort). In dhanurāsana the word is parsed danuH + āsana. When the final sibilant (h) meets a vowel it changes to [r] due to rules of sandhi. Anyways, for an intro video these technicalities are overwhelming, but are worth keeping in mind.

[@TheKaizenProjekt]

thanks for the detailed information

[@lyrics_mania290]

Sir thank you so much for that, because being an Indian I wasn't aware about their sanskrit names, even though I found it very difficult to remember those sanskrit name but you made it easy for me thank you very much for that video. It just seems you're having less flexibility due to your muscularity, but once you get flexible you'll ace in yoga.

In Sanskrit there is no alphabet that sounds as OOh, that’s why they write oohm as uum (ॐ) but in Tamil alphabet ‘ஓ’ exists that’s why ohm is written as ௐ which confirms ohm comes from Tamil, everything around the word “Ohm” or ௐ is from Tamil language only and its culture.

[@हर्षवान्]

The Om sound is a vikruti. Actually ॐ is a compound sound (see I am saying sound, not letter or alphabet). It is a combination of a(अ), oo (ऊ), and makaar (म)‌. The formula for ॐ is अकार चरण कमल, ऊकार ऊदर विशाल मकार महामंगल, मस्तक अकारे Which also tells the actual pronunciation. अकार resonates around and below that naval, ऊकार above the naval and in the chest and makaar in the head. Forming vikruti is a common process in Vedic chanting and there are several other vikruti. Infact, a lot can be said about the structure of syllable ॐ and it's philosophical and meta physical connotation but you can easily find that on the net if you keep you silly emotional biases aside.
