Yoga dictionary. Purusha

This is the original pure consciousness of the universe, which contemplates the female aspect-Prakriti. Purusha in interaction with Prakriti and under the influence of the gunas begins to create the material universe. Purusha in its original state is beyond the influence of the gunas. This state is called Nirguna.

“Purusha” in Sanskrit means ‘spirit’. In the Yoga sutras, Patanjali Purusha is represented as the original pure consciousness of the living entity, the attainment of which is the goal of yoga. In this case, it is not quite correct to talk about the attainment of this state as the achievement of something.

Jivamukti yoga

Thanks to Margot’s inspired tales, earlier this year I developed an interest in tasting Jivamukti Yoga. Well-directed intention always leads to the goal. In February in London, I got to the Jivamukti Yoga Center for a seminar at Will Senn Lau (Hong Kong). From the threshold of the studio, I liked everything – both the interior and the smell and energy. After class, you can sit with a cup of herbal tea, stretch the feeling of nirvana 🙂 The seminar was called “5 Ways to Integrity” – there was a theoretical part based on the Yoga Sutras and a practice where we disassembled and tried complex balances on hand. While we were sweating and puffing, Will – agile and sinewy – encouraged “let’s, come on, angels, breathe, hold on.” He called us all angels and constantly smiled. It seems that he was the most correct person in the world to trick me with jivamukti yoga seriously and for a long time 🙂 Continue reading
