Bhagni In Shatkarma (Neti & Netri Different Dimensions)

The word "yoga" owes its origin to the Sanskrit root "yujir". Coordinating every activity of human body according to the inhalation and exhalation constitutes yoga as a whole. Different granths have defined yoga in their own respective ways. SriMadbhagwad Gita, Yogavashishth, Maha Ramayan, Dherand Sanhita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Anand Ramayan, Adbhut Ramayan, Shiv Mahapuran, Hathdeepika etc. have described yoga copiously. Shatkarma plays a vital role in coordinating all the above aspects of yoga as it is only the Shatkarma which prepares the soil i.e. human body for meditation. First aspect ShodhanKriya (purgation is fundamental to yoga. Without the purgation of different parts of the body, ten senses, mind or consciousness etc. the very concept of yoga which aims at elevating the yogi to the higher plane of consciousness through meditation where he experiences the bliss of stillness, is forfeited. Ergo, the practice of the first five parts of yoga viz. yam, niyam, aasan, pranayaam, pratyahaar complemented by shatkarm is what is called shodhan kriya.
