BHARATANATYAM RASA YOGA - PART 2

As promised iam completing the final part of Rasa Yoga (Part 2) that was pending for a couple of months.
The travel plans even within Bengaluru has become a Fantasy due to the second wave of corona pandemic.

In Retrospect ; 
Indian Culture claims that Natyaveda is a concise instruction setting forth all the events of the world.
Navarasa (the 9 emotions) as explained in Natya Veda – covers all emotional expressions of the world.
The idea is that if you dont fully EXPRESS yourself you will go into DEPRESSION.




Emotions occur at an excited state of the mind and anything that is at an excited state should come back to ground state / equilibrium level. This is also applicable to Happiness and Peace - Yet man is seen chasing temporary Peace and Happiness and have been avoiding other emotions like Courage or Disgust.

Bharatanatyam  =  Yoga + Aesthetics.

The first part of the post covers only Adbhutam.
Today iam going to explain you Nava Asana along with Bharatanatyam Nava Rasa poses – The 9 Yoga Poses can help you challenge EXPRESSING all the 9 emotions with ease and arrive at an equilibrium level without any stress.
The equilibrium level is called BLISS.
BLISS is called ANANDA in sanskrit.

With the help of these Yoga Asanas you can challenge emotions like dangerous / furious / disgust etc. In the sense you dont have to run away from any emotion.
"JUST EXPERIENCE LIFE AS IT IS". It will not be difficult "IF YOU TRUST IN GOD".

The PURPOSE of life is to FULLY EXPRESS ALL EMOTIONS only then you will arrive at EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL - BLISS.
