A Note to the Readers

Even though there are many books in the market on asana and pranayarna, they are, by and large, voluminous and expensive. In addition to asana and breathing exercises, this book describes many useful topics like relaxation, prana charging, yoga nidra, yoga for eyes etc., not usually mentioned even in the voluminous books.

The speciality of this book is its format. Every asana has a sketch and this sketch is placed with its textual description. Thus a person can keep this book in his/her proximity for quick reference while doing the exercises.

There are literally thousands of persons who have undergone courses in asana and pranayarna, but have discontinued them for lack of written material and other reasons. This book should be of help to these persons.

Persons who have no exposure to asana or pranayarna can begin doing simple exercises like abdominal breathing and obtain considerable benefit. The book is, by and large, self- contained.

The material in this book is based on the notes prepared by the yoga-teacher and engineer, Sri M.K.Gopalakrishna several years ago for his students. The editorial board in SAKSI assisted me in transforming the notes into a book format with many sketches so that the explanation for each asana is self- contained and understandable to the practitioners. MKG has been teaching pranayarna since many decades. His teaching was restricted only to those coming into his personal contact. Realising the importance and necessity of disseminating this knowledge, I proposed this matter to Sri M.K.G. We are grateful to him for allowing us to publish this book. Some of the exercises were developed by him based on the hints in some of the books, hints given by his teachers Swami Gitananda and Swami Satyananda Sarasvati and his own powerful intuition and practice. The asana sketches are prepared by Sri T.V. Shankar. .

Even though it is customary to mention Ghciiinde Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika as the basic texts, the details on many of the iissn" and pra1)ayama are contained in the 25 books called as Y oga Upanishads which are part of the one hundred and eight Upanishads. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the sages of the Veda and Upanshads declared the necessity of a healthy body not only for leading a happy life but also for releasing the immense creative energies latent in our body useful for our development and that of the community.
