Anonymous: Guru ji physical exercise astang yoga how to do With your blessing their Are eight pillars of astang yoga but how to do physical exercise of astang yoga and one more question mokash k bhat ka Janam kaisa hota hai Kiya o Shri Krishna ki tarah hota hai?
Swami Ram Swarup: Beta, yam, niyam, asan, pranayama, pratyahara, dharna, dhyan and samadhi; isko ashtang yog vidya kahte hain aur is vidya ko janne wale ke pass jakar hi koi jigyasu is ashtang yog vidya ka gyan prapt karta hai, anay koi marg nahi hai. Therefore, to use word physical exercise in this connection is not feasible. Moksh is to be free from all kind of bindings (karam bandhan). The soul at this stage remains with God and enjoy.
Girish: Is animal sacrifice is a part of Snatan Dharma or in a black magic or tantric Vidya as both of them are also part of Snatan drama. Like its practice in some famous temple like Kamakhya Devi temple. What I think is animal sacrifice or (Bali pratha) What I think it is related to raja Bali as he sacrifice himself when Lord vishnu came in Vamana avatar and with course of time people misinterpreted it and relate with animal sacrifice.
Please elaborate.
Swami Ram Swarup: As mentioned in Vedas to kill the animals or any living-being is sin being against the Vedas. And the story stated by yourself about Raja bali is also not true because it is not mentioned in Vedas. In Yajurved mantra 1/1 there is true preach = “Yajmansya Pashun Pahi” i.e., Oh! God on the earth there must be protection of all living-beings.
