![In india there are sacred places where yogīs go to meditate in solitude, as prescribed in bhagavad-gītā. Traditionally, yoga can't be accomplished in a public area, but insofar as okayīrtana – mantra-yoga, or the yoga of chanting the hare okayṛṣṇa mantra: hare okayṛṣṇa, hare kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa okṛṣṇa, hare hare/ hare rāma, hare rāma, rāma rāma, hare hare – is concerned, the extra human beings gift, the better. While lord caitanya mahāprabhu changed into appearing kīrtana in india a few 5 hundred years in the past, he prepared in every group sixteen human beings to guide the chanting, and lots of human beings chanted with them. This participation in kīrtana, within the public chanting of the names and glories of god, is very viable and is virtually smooth on this age; however as a ways because the meditational process of yoga is concerned, that is very difficult. It is particularly said in bhagavad-gītā that to carry out meditational yoga one should go to a secluded and holy region. In other words, it's far vital to go away home. On this age of overpopulation it isn't always usually viable to find a secluded region, however this isn't always vital in bhakti-yoga. Inside the bhakti-yoga gadget there are nine distinct tactics: hearing, chanting, remembering, serving, worshiping the deity within the temple, praying, carrying out orders, serving okṛṣṇa as a friend and sacrificing for him. Out of these, śravaṇaṁ okīrtanam, hearing and chanting, are considered the most essential. At a public okayīrtana one man or woman can chant hare okṛṣṇa, hare okṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa okayṛṣṇa, hare hare/ hare rāma, hare rāma, rāma rāma, hare hare, whilst a set listens, and at the cease of the chant, the institution can reply, and in this way there may be a reciprocation of hearing and chanting. This may effortlessly be executed in one’s personal domestic, with a small institution of friends or with many humans in a large public region. One may try and exercise meditational yoga in a big town or in a society, however one need to remember the fact that that is one’s very own concoction and isn't the approach advocated in bhagavad-gītā. The whole method of the yoga gadget is to purify oneself. And what's this purification? Purification ensues upon the belief of 1’s real identity. Purification is figuring out that “i am pure spirit – i'm not this matter.” due to cloth touch, we're figuring out ourselves with depend, and we're questioning, “i am this frame.” but on the way to perform real yoga one have to realize his constitutional position as being wonderful from be counted. The purpose of looking for a secluded place and executing the meditational procedure is to come to this expertise. It is not feasible to return to this information if one executes the manner improperly. Anyways, that is the attention of lord caitanya mahāprabhu: Harer nāma harer nāma Harer nāmaiva kevalam Kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva Nāsty eva gatir anyathā “in this age of quarrel and war of words [Kali-yuga], there may be no other manner of spiritual recognition but this chanting of the names. There's no other way, there is no different manner, there's no different manner.” It's miles usually thought, at least within the western world, that the yoga system includes meditating at the void. However the vedic literatures do no longer endorse meditating on any void. Rather, the vedas hold that yoga means meditation on viṣṇu, and this is also maintained in bhagavad-gītā. In many yoga societies we discover that people sit down pass-legged and very straight, then near their eyes to meditate, and so fifty percentage of them fall asleep, because whilst we near our eyes and have no problem count for contemplation, we truely fall asleep. Of route, this isn't always recommended by using śrī okayṛṣṇa in bhagavad-gītā. One must sit down very immediately, and the eyes be only half of-closed, looking at at the tip of 1’s nostril. If one does now not observe the instructions, the result may be sleep and not anything extra. Now and again, of route, meditation goes on while one is dozing, but this is not the recommended system for the execution of yoga. Thus, to maintain oneself conscious okayṛṣṇa advises that one usually preserve the end of the nostril visible. In addition, one must be usually undisturbed. If the mind is agitated or if there may be a wonderful deal of pastime taking place, one will no longer be able to pay attention. In meditational yoga one need to additionally be without worry. There may be no question of worry while one enters non secular lifestyles. And one should additionally be brahmacārī, completely loose from intercourse lifestyles. Nor can there be any needs on one meditating on this way. When there are not any demands, and one executes this machine properly, then he can manipulate his mind. After one has met all the requirements for meditation, he have to transfer his complete notion to kṛṣṇa, or viṣṇu. It is not that one is to transfer his idea to vacancy. For that reason okṛṣṇa says that one absorbed in the meditational yoga gadget is “usually contemplating me.” The yogī manifestly has to go through a outstanding deal of difficulty to purify the ātmā (mind, frame and soul), however it's miles a fact that this could be executed most successfully on this age definitely by means of the chanting of hare okayṛṣṇa, hare kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa, hare hare/ hare rāma, hare rāma, rāma rāma, hare hare. Why is that this? Due to the fact this transcendental sound vibration is nondifferent from okṛṣṇa. When we chant his name with devotion, then okṛṣṇa is with us, and whilst okṛṣṇa is with us, then what is the possibility of final impure? Therefore, one absorbed in okṛṣṇa consciousness, in chanting the names of okayṛṣṇa and serving him usually, receives the benefit of the best shape of yoga. The advantage is that he doesn’t have to take all of the trouble of the meditational procedure. That is the splendor of okṛṣṇa recognition. In yoga it's far vital to control all of the senses, and whilst all of the senses are controlled, the thoughts need to be engaged in thinking of viṣṇu. One turns into peaceful after hence conquering material lifestyles. Jitātmanaḥ praśāntasya Paramātmā samāhitaḥ “for one that has conquered the thoughts, the supersoul is already reached, for he has attained tranquillity.” (bg. 6.7) this material world has been likened to a notable wooded area fire. As within the wooded area, fire may mechanically take region, so on this material world, even though we may try to live peacefully, there's continually a great conflagration. It isn't always possible to stay in peace anywhere inside the cloth international. However for one who is transcendentally located – both via the meditational yoga machine or by way of the empirical philosophical technique or by using bhakti-yoga – peace is feasible. All types of yoga are supposed for transcendental life, but the approach of chanting is specifically effective on this age. Okīrtana may match on for hours, and one won't sense tired, however it's miles tough to sit down in lotus role perfectly still for more than a couple of minutes. Yet irrespective of the technique, as soon as the hearth of cloth existence is extinguished, one does now not clearly enjoy what's known as impersonal void. As a substitute, as okṛṣṇa tells arjuna, one enters into the supreme home. Yuñjann evaṁ sadātmānaṁ Yogī niyata-mānasaḥ śāntiṁ nirvāṇa-paramāṁ Mat-saṁsthām adhigacchati “through meditating in this manner, always controlling the frame, mind and activities, the mystic transcendentalist attains to the dominion of god thru cessation of material existence.” (bg. 6.15) kṛṣṇa’s dwelling house is not void. It's far like an established order, and in an status quo there may be a ramification of engagements. The successful yogī surely attains to the kingdom of god, where there is religious variegatedness. The yoga methods are genuinely methods to elevate oneself to enter into that homestead. Actually we belong to that homestead, however being forgetful, we're positioned on this cloth global. Simply as a madman turns into loopy and is positioned right into a lunatic asylum, so we, dropping sight of our religious identification, emerge as crazy and are put into this material global. For this reason the material international is a sort of lunatic asylum, and we will without problems note that not anything is achieved very sanely right here. Our real commercial enterprise is to get out and input into the kingdom of god. In bhagavad-gītā okayṛṣṇa gives information of this nation and additionally gives instructions about his position and our function – of what he is and what we're.
