new_p.gif  ASTANGA YOGA

The ultimate aim of Astanga yoga is to join and attain oneness with Sublime Essence of the Universe. This is done through a process of sequential internal purification of your body, mind, and spirit. This process harnesses the positive vital breath, energy or prana within you and lets you control and balances your body, mind and spirit. You experience harmony in life when you live in the here and now. You do not have false expectations for the future and you do not linger in the past. You truly accept yourself and you accept and love all people.  No more fear; No more me and you, us and them; only Love, Equanimity, Compassion and Bliss!

Ashanga yoga is the classical eight-fold path of yogi codified by the Sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. The eight limbs (or steps) of ashtanga yoga are:

  1. yama (vows),
  2. niyama (observances), 
  3. asana (postures) i.e. physical exercises designed to restore the natural balance of the body,
  4. pranayam (breathing exercises),
  5. pratyahar (withdrawal from the sense),
  6. dharana (concentration),
  7. dhyana (meditation), and
  8. samadhi (complete absorption in the Self).

Vastra Dhauti
VASTRA DHAUTI

A 3" wide and 22 feet long smooth cotton cloth is to be swallowed for cleansing esophagus and stomach. For us beginners, we are required to swallow only 11 feet within three minutes. In the early morning of 18 January 2010 in a little village called Asha in Gujarat India, I performed the vastra dhauti. I was the first one in the group of Yogic teacher trainees to complete vastra dhauti. 

Vastra dhauti requires much more concentration and courage than sutra neti (passing a piece of string up one's nostril and pulling it out from the mouth, then pulling both ends back and forth to cleanse the nasal, sinuses and throat), which I had completed the two days before. Swallowing the cotton cloth was not a pleasant experience and pulling it out was even worse! When swallowing, the practitioner induces a gagging reflex from the throat and stomach and wants to vomit. On my first trial the day before, I swallowed three feet and gave up. Pulling three feet from my stomach was relatively easy. Many proscrastinated. Some swallowed only a few inches and gave up. They gave all sorts of excuses like they had sore throat or flu.

After I had swallowed 10-feet, Safar and Chang Lung took a photograph of me with one foot of cotton cloth hanging from my mouth and I started to pull the cotton cloth out. I started pulling and I felt the draw was pulling on my stomach. It was as though I was pulling my whole stomach inside out. Tears and mucous started running out from my eyes and nostrils. Then there was a tight grip from my throat and everything stopped after pulling two feet out.

I was overcome with fear. I still had eight feet inside my stomach but my throat was gripping so tightly that all my throat and neck muscles were tensed up. My Yoga instructors were standing beside me. They immediately gave me a cup of warm water and while petting my back asked me to take a few sips normally. They also told me not to be afraid. I waited for 30 seconds to relax. After a few sips, the water displaced the "vacuum" inside the stomach from the pulling, and I was able to pull out slowly one arm's length of the cotton cloth from my stomach. Then there was a tight grip in my throat again. I had to repeat these steps four times to finally pull out the whole eight feet.

The cotton cloth soaked up all the the slimy stuff, mucous and impurities from my stomach. I used salt water to clean the cotton cloth in a jug and hung it up to dry. All trainees are required to complete vastra dhauti within the next ten days. Laura, a Vietnamese young woman from the US, was able to do it on the 20th of January. She went through the same hard times when pulling the dhauti cloth out. Her stomach content was yellowish in colour and that also indicated that her body type was Pitta (fire). 

At the time of this writing, no one else has completed this demanding ordeal. I know I have to keep on practising until I can swallow the cotton cloth within the stipulated three minutes every time in order to pass the test.
