Atha Yoganusasanam – NOW the Instruction of Yoga begins. Book 1 Sutra I of, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Atha yoganusasanam
NOW, Yoga is being made apparent to you, reader.
NOW, it is time for you to step into the spiritual deep waters of your time.
NOW, it is time to do your practice.
NOW is not the time to simply listen to others talk about the benefits of yogic living, or to read of the transformative experiences of others and acknowledge their credibility, but to do it.
Be in it, walk it, breathe it, eat and sleep it.
NOW, TODAY.
If this sutra has found you, if you are hearing, seeing, or reading it then you are being given a sign to begin your spiritual practice. If you have fallen away from your practice and are now reading this first Sutra, you must recognize that your inner truth is calling you, crying to you to return to your practice. Atha Yoganusasanam – NOW, the teaching of yoga begins, right here, and right now. Listen. Take the step. Know it and be in it. Be ready for what comes next.
If not NOW, then when? I always appreciate words of encouragement like this. Its always nice to have other inspire and motivate oneself to delve deeper into our yoga practice. Thank you for sharing!
