Hindu Swamis Speak On Principles of Yoga
The president and the director of the International School of Yoga and Indian Philosophy are at KU this week to explain Yoga and its connection with the Hindu religion and everyday life.
Swami Lalitananda, president, and Swami Jyotirmayananda, director of the organization, are touring the United States giving a series of lectures concerning their religion and its meaning to people in the western world.
AT A MEETING yesterday of the India Club, Swami Jyotirmayananda spoke of the Hindu religion and the place of Yoga in it.
The Swamis make Puerto Rico their home when not touring. After KU they will go to California, Mexico and then South America.
He spoke of Yoga as a process of uniting people and of expanding the heart by expanding emotions. He said the Hindu religion is non-sectarian. It does not try to convert others to it, he said. It is not a dogma or a sect but is a deeper understanding of religion.
He said the four main types of Yoga are interdependent and weave reason, will, emotion and action. The four main types of Yoga are Jnana Yoga, which is the yoga of wisdom, Raja yoga which is the yoga practiced by integrating the mind through concentration, meditation and super-consciousness.
Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion. Karma Yoga is the yoga of selfless action, that action being an expression of the inner vision of man.
HATHA YOGA is a system of psychophysical exercises. Some examples are Asanas, which concerns physical posture; Pranayamas, the practices of control of vital-force through breath regulations; Bandhas, concerned with practices of locks such as the chin lock; Kiriyas, purification practices such as methods of cleansing the nasal passage and the stomach; and Mudras
which deals with sealing of the mind with God.
Hatha Yoga is probably the one most familiar with people of the western world. It is but an integral part of the other types of yoga.
Hashinger, JRP Halls Set Talkathon Record
Swami Jyotiramayananda said philosophy and religion make up the heart of every human being.
The Margaret Hashinger-Joseph R. Pearson "talkathon" is over and a new world's record of 450 hours has been claimed.
The attempt just ended was interrupted for about 40 minutes at 2:50 a.m. on Oct. 30 when a Templin resident hung up the phone after he had claimed to be the JRP next to talk. The "talkathon" had reached the 349 hours and 50 minute mark at that time. The conversation resumed at 3:30 a.m. the same morning.
