What Everyone Needs to Know about International Yoga Day

“International Yoga Day will no doubt become a milestone in human history, particularly if highlighted as the day of Unity,” says the head of the TM movement, Maharaja Adhiraj Raja Raam.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is unity between mind and body, between the individual and society, between all societies, between all nations and between all individual values of culture, tradition, belief systems, and racial differences.

He is saying that yoga is much more than a trendy exercise system. Much more! Its an awesome and timeless technology.

Yoga brings together all values. Even apparently opposite values.

As brought to light by Maharishi, Yoga is one of the 40 asects of Vedic science. It also allows everyone directly to experience and live unity within diversity.

Yoga Asanas (postures) help to balance and strengthen the body. They promote a healthy body and a healthy mind. They improve mind-body coordination. This is unity between mind and body.

Now read carefully.

The technologies of Yoga in the Vedic tradition, particularly as brought to light in the west by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with Transcendental Meditation, improve all aspects of mind, body, behaviour and society. That’s right – all aspects.

Most people understand Yoga mainly in terms of asanas (physical postures or exercises). However, Maharishi’s enlightened vision of Ashtanga Yoga (the Eight Limbs of Yoga) illuminates that the eight limbs grow together on the basis of the experience of Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. The reality of Yoga (unity) is to be created on all levels – body, mind, consciousness, society, and even World Peace.

How Yoga works

Maharishi has brought to light that the process of unifying starts from the field of Unity, which is our own Self, silent and blissful, deep inside every one of us. Maharishi reminds that the classic text of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras states that the eight limbs of Yoga all grow together on the basis of the experience of that inner wholeness – Samadhi, Transcendental Consciousness. This is scientifically verified by over 600 research studies on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This includes the technique of Yogic Flying. The research shows benefits in every area of life:

· Reduced stress and anxiety
· Reduced heart disease
· Reduced diseases of all kinds
· Increased energy and efficiency
· Increased happiness
· Increased effectiveness at work

International Yoga Day celebrates the Ultimate Technology

Yoga in its ultimate technology allows every individual to transcend all differences, and to reach and directly to experience that field as one’s own self.

It is on this grand basis that all differences become a joy to creation and never a source of conflict.

The International Day of Yoga calls for an upsurge of unity in world consciousness, because the need of this time is for harmony, peace and progress to be enlivened in every country. On the world stage, large groups experiencing Transcendental Consciousness (Yoga) have been scientifically shown to reduce crime, accidents, and warfare, and increase peace.

Only a new seed will yield a new crop. It is time for the seed of unity, Yoga, to be sown in every heart to bring peace in the world.

Yoga is therefore for everyone.

It is a science and technology of health, balance, peace, and supreme unity in diversity. That is why Yoga Day can be celebrated by all peoples and traditions of the world.

Yoga is a science and technology of living well within oneself and well with all others no matter how different they can be from each other on the surface level of existence.

Design An Amazing Site With These Tips

From blogs to storefronts, great web design is always key in presenting your content to the world. Who will trust what you have to say if your site looks unprofessional? The information contained in this article will help you to build a website which looks great, functions cleanly and brings you the traffic you deserve!

Do not use frames; that is old school. Frames are flawed and they went out of style for a reason. Readers have difficulty bookmarking and scrolling websites with frames. You will learn, thanks to advancements in web design, that allowing your visitors to cruise through an easy flowing site is a simple as 1, 2, 3 and visually more attractive.

Although it is common to see the www. at the front of a website URL, you should try to make sure that you can access your site whether you choose to include it or not. This will make it much easier for anyone to access regardless of how they type it.

Always separate topics. Put each topic on a different page. Not only will viewers be less confused, but search engines can pick up on your site easier, which gives you a higher ranking.

Learning some basic HTML will help you add some interesting extras to your site. For example, you can have words that follow your cursor, or a banner that flashes important information. Make sure to change the colors and fonts occasionally, so you seem more involved with the web site and its design.

When selecting a domain name, it’s important that you’re creative. A big part of web design is having a site with a good, on-topic name. Having a catchy, relevant name will make people remember your website just as much as any design features would. Don’t think that a name isn’t an important feature.

If you become lost at all during your web design process then you might want to look up videos online. You can find a lot of videos on places like youtube which give you step by step tutorials on what you should be doing during your web designing processes.

Do your best to stay consistent with your efforts when you are learning web design. You don’t want to learn a couple of things then come back a couple of months later and try to learn something new and already have forgotten the information that you had previously learned complicating your whole web design process.

Limit the amount of content you start out with on a given page to small amounts when you first start out. You don’t need a lot of stuff that will overwhelm you and confuse visitors when they arrive on your site.

I hope you’ve learned from this article and feel confident that you’re ready to get started in the world of web design. Whether you are just starting to create your own site or you plan to build websites as a career, your first step is learning how it’s done. Now you can move on to the fun stuff, enjoy!
