-part-2ByA.S.Narasimhamurthy.

The word yoga is derived from Sanskrit word

"yuj" which means yoke together or union, so,

yoga can be

Defined as Knowledge which bring union or

harmony among Spiritual and materialistic

Personalities of human beings

8/8/2019 Yoga A

Shandylaya upanilhad defines yoga as

"jervathma paramathma Ikya Arastha

yogaha" which means it one adopts the yogic

way of life and practice the techniques

explained in yoga the ego consciousness

elevates to the State of Paramathma cosmic

consciousness. This devotion is symbolically

called as union of jeevathma with

paramathma

As for as the materialistic level of human

personalities is concerned, it has specific

relation with the5bodies that encircles the

human soul (Jeevathma)

If one adopts the yogic way of use, there will be

union or harmony among these five bodies.

8/8/2019 Yoga A

5/30

We shall now know more about five bodies and

why there should be harmony among them.

According to taithariya Upanishad, there are 5

bodies encircling the soul. They are;.

1.Annamaya kosha the physical body

2. Poanamaga kosha the energy body

3. Monomaya kosha the mental body

4. Vignanamaya kosha the intellectual

body

5. Anandamaya kosha the blissful body

Out of these fire bodies. The Annamaya

kosha is gross body and it is visible to

human eye. The other bodies are made up

of extra matter. According to science

those are smallest part of the matter

called particles. So these are not visible

8/8/2019 Yoga A

6/30

and these four bodies are called as

Sukshma shareeras

In taithariya Upanishad, it is clearly

explained how these Sukshma Sharecras

have encircled the human Soul and age

approximately Same Shape of the

physical body.

One can see those by yogic meditation when

his consciousness elevates beyond five

Senses.

Sukshma shareeras will exert influence or each

other and on physical body.

Ex;Poanamaga kosha transmits the pranic

energy to the physical body. This pranic

energy is absolutely necessary for physical

and physiological activities. Development

and functioning of various organs. It is also

8/8/2019 Yoga A

7/30

necessary for the physical body as a whole- it

these is no harmony betweenPoanamaga

kosha &physical body, both of them will

suffer.

Pranic body is also having relationship with

the mind. If we observe emotional activities

and breathing rhythm, we notice that when

emotional balance is lost. The breathing

rhythm get upset, this shows that breathing

and mental activity will influence on each

other. So, if we control breathing, then we

can control emotional balance. Hence both

the Koshas should have harmony. Similarly

the other Koshas should have harmony

among themselves and also on physical body

and mind. This harmony is brought by yoga.

SummerEnded?

Long Live`Summer!'K.Jayaram

ArchitectThe rainy season has started by the end of May

for Bangalore and South India receives good

rains by June. It is indeed cool just after it

rains and the sweltering summer heat seems to

have gone. But soon after a rainy day has

ended, heat picks up again and you feel as

though the weather is worse than it was

during summer. The reason is that the summer

has not really ended! The Northern hemisphere

where we are located continues to receive

direct rays of sun at high angle till September.

8/8/2019 Yoga A

10/30

It shines right on our heads once again at noon

in August! It is this heat that causes the

Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean to boil up and

send rain bearing clouds to the Indian

peninsula! Welcome to the South-West

Monsoon summer months!

If sun was always `rising' in the east and

`setting' in the west, then we should have been

receiving equal amount of sun's heat

throughout the year and we would not have

had seasons such as summer or winter as we

have now. The sun appears to move up North

in summer and move down South in winter.

This is because the axis of earth's rotation is

tilted by as much as 23.5 degrees. This results

in the Northern hemisphere facing sun at more

8/8/2019 Yoga A

11/30

direct high angle for six months of the year

and we have summer. When there is face off,

we receive less intense low angle sun and it

will be winter for us. (Diagram 1) The days are

also longer in summer, when we receive more

hours of sun light than in winter.

In summer of Bangalore, fans running at even

low speeds give relief in well ventilated homes

as the humidity is not very high. But during the

summer monsoon rainy season, fans that

churn out the same air does not lead to comfort

in ill ventilated homes. The humidity just

before the rains can be so high that you may

profusely sweat, even after a minor excretion

like walking up the stairs or after a hot meal.

You may even start wondering "Why am I

8/8/2019 Yoga A

12/30

sweating so much! Anything wrong with my

health?"

For all this, you can blame the weather for

alternatively keeping you cool one day and

making you fret about the heat and humidity

the next day. The reason why it alternately

blows hot and cold during this season is, even

as the sun's heat brings us rains and the rains

cool the land in turn. The high angle sun rays

heats up the waters of the ocean, generating

huge amounts of vapor, which leads to the

formation of rain bearing clouds. These results

in high pressure zone over the ocean, like in a

pressure cooker kept on high flame. The effect

of sun's heat on land is different, as sun rays

heat it up, it is the air above land that gets hot

8/8/2019 Yoga A

13/30

fast and moves up, resulting in low pressure

zone. This makes the rain bearing clouds to

move from high pressure zone above sea to low

pressure zone on land mass and drop its

precious cargo of life sustaining rains. The

process may not be as simple as this, but this

gives a general idea about happenings during

this season. Himalaya Mountain and the Ghats

do play an important role in the amount of

rain we receive.

Comfort during Rainy `Summer' monsoon

months

The most important thing to ensure during this

season is cross ventilation in our homes. Many

persons close the windows thinking that the

summer is over. But without cross ventilation,

8/8/2019 Yoga A

14/30

humidity inside our homes builds up to near

saturation point and we start feeling

uncomfortable. Cross ventilation can

effectively carry off both heat and humidity to

assure a greater degree of comfort. Ceiling fan

alone will not be able to cool the interiors and

bring comfort in this season.

Welcome South Breeze

This being South-West Monsoon season, we

get cool and comforting breeze from these

directions. We need to keep big windows on the

South to receive this cool breeze. We do get cool

breeze from the West too, but it is difficult to

keep out the hot sun rays and allow only

breeze from this direction! But on the South

8/8/2019 Yoga A

15/30

side, there won't be any sun rays as it will be

shining mostly in the North during this season.

The breeze during summer monsoon can be

termed as `cool' as it is nearest to the comfort

temperature of about 23degree Celsius. In

spite of the copious rains that we get during

this season, the temperature does not plunge

very low, as it does during the winter months,

after all it is still summer!

8/8/2019 Yoga A

17/30

It is advisable to leave ample open space on the

South of our buildings to facilitate easy

movement of summer breeze. Many times just

one window is kept on one side of room and it

is thought to be sufficient. Though this may

ensure day light for the room, it will not invite

cross ventilation inside such a room. It is

essential for the purpose of cross ventilation to

have windows on two sides. The cool summer

breeze that enters from one side should be able

to cross the room and leave from the adjacent

side.

Learning to live with the weather

We have to live proactively with nature to get

maximum benefit in terms of health and

comfort. The season can be felt some times as

8/8/2019 Yoga A

18/30

`really cold' since we are not acclimatized

during this part of the year unlike in winter.

During such a period we need to close some of

the window shutters if the temperature

plunges below 23 degrees, to reduce heat loss

from our residence. We have to close or open

our windows to match our ventilation

requirement. Many times we tend to either

keep all the windows open or closed regardless

of weather changes. It is advisable to keep

some of the window shutters in a big window

( 6 feet or more in length ) closed if the

temperature has dropped below comfort level

due to continuous rains. Similarly open up all

of them if the sun shines continuously for

couple of days and the heat and humidity build

up.

Understanding the weather phenomenon

definitely keeps us not only comfortable and

healthy, but also makes us enjoy the season.

3]Saveenergy-

part-2By -A.S.Jayaram

Many times we use fridge as a dumping place

we will not use the spaces in the fridge

correctly.

1.Many of us place the milk packet in

freezer it will almost become ice and thus

lot of electrical energy is wasted

8/8/2019 Yoga A

21/30

2. The second fault that we do is that in the

next morning we will directly pour the

milk and boil it thus wasting lot of heat

energy

3. Many times in the night we keep the

boiled hot milk or food items directly in to

the fridge. This will waste lot of electrical

energy as the Fridge has to cool it to the

room temperature

Then how to save energy?

1. First of all, we have to keep the milk

packet in the chiller so that it will not

freeze this Saves energy.

2. Next morning, we have to take out the

milk packet and allow it to thaw[ come

to room temperature by absorbing

atmospheric heat] then we have to pour it

8/8/2019 Yoga A

22/30

in to the tumbler and boil it. This saves

lot of heat energy.

3. We Should allow hot milk or hot food

items it to cool down to room

temperature for about 1/2 an hour and

then keep it in to the fridge. This will save

lot of electrical energy.

In the next magazine let us learn about the

capacity and Sizes of fridges.
