ANGHAABYAASAM
|
In Yogabhyasa, the last exercise is total relaxation. You lie down and the mind concentrates on different parts of the body starting from toes. The effect is that the blood circulation improves at that part of the body on which you concentrate.
Similarly in Mahanyasa, nyasa
is an important aspect. At those part of the body on which we recite the
mantra, Lord Parameswara is to be thought of and HE resides there. In
our Pooja we are elaborate and we do mention the parts of the body. Many
in the group know about these parts. However we are repeating it to the benefit
of those who do not know :- |
