Читать книгу Yoga Therapy as a Whole-Person Approach to Health - Lee Majewski - Страница 7

In the period before the written word, all spiritual teachings were transmitted orally from master (guru) to student (sishya) in forest hermitages. These are the teachings found today in the Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharvana Vedas.2 The Rigveda talks about unity of the mind with the Divine in meditation (yunjate man ut yunjate dhiyo vipraa viprasya brihato vipashchitah; Rigveda Book 5 81:1); and the Yajurveda tells us that by regular yoga practice, we improve our strength (yoge yoge tavastaram vaaje vaaje havaamahe sakhaaya indramootaye; Yajurveda 11:14).
