The sage Patanjali postulated an eight-fold system of spiritual yogic practice for achieving the divine goal. It comprises: Yam (Controls) Niyam (Rules and regulations) Asan (Bodily Postures) Pranaayam (Breath Control Exercises) Pratyahaar (Sense control) Dharana (Concentration) Dhyaana (Meditation) Samadhi (Mergence) Yams (Behavior Controls) "Avoid...unrighteous behavior." All our behavior should be based on a disciplined approach when we interact with others.
There are five behavioral controls as postulate by sage Patanjali. These are: Ahimsa (Non – violence) Satya (Truthfulness) Brahmachaarya (Celibacy) Asteya (Non stealing) Aparigraha (Non-covetousness) These five behavior controls have to be followed by the Sadhaka (Yogic practitioner) with strong dedication and diligence. Niyams (Rules and regulations) "Follow correct moral precepts." All our interactions require a degree of purity, acceptance and surrender. Sage Patanjali detailed five ‘ Niyams ’ as under: Maintain cleanliness in body and speech.
Be Content with what you have Perform austerities Study the Scriptures regularly Surrender every action of yours to the Universal Spirit These five regulations help you to achieve purity in body and mind, making you morally and spiritually fit to take up the yogic pathway to enlightenment. Asanas (Body Postures)
