This is an excellent guide to the
Hatha Yoga way of life.
Hatha yoga is about health,
the way you relate to your own nature,
physically, mentally and spiritually.
You do not need to practice the various
yoga positions to benefit from the wisdom and practical suggestions
which Yogi Ramacharaka give us. Just practicing the breathing exercises
correctly can change your entire physiology.
Yogi Ramacharaka is very helpful
in helping us to learn how we can
create a living temple of our body, and
assisting us deeper in our quest for spiritual growth.
Hatha yoga, also known as Hatha vidya, is the preparatory stage
of physical purification which renders the body fit for the practise of
higher meditation.
Traditional Hatha Yoga is a holistic yogic path, including
moral disciplines, physical exercises (e.g., asanas (postures) and
Pranayama (breath control)), and meditation.
The word Hatha is a compound of the words Ha and Tha meaning
sun and moon and refers to the principal nadis (energy channels) of the
subtle body that must be fully operational to attain a state of dhyana
or samadhi. In other respects Hatha yoga follows certain moral
restraints, yama, and spiritual observances, niyama.
Hatha represents opposing energies: hot and cold (fire and
water, following the same concept as the yin-yang), male and female,
positive and negative. Hatha yoga attempts to balance mind and body via
physical exercises, or "asanas", controlled breathing, and the calming
of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Asanas teach poise,
balance & strength and are practiced to improve the body's physical
health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation in the pursuit
of enlightenment.
About Yogi Ramacharaka,
AKA William Walker Atkinson:
William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 -
November 22, 1932) was a very important and influential American figure
in the early days of the New Thought Movement. He was an attorney,
merchant, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer
of New Thought, which is in fact the title of a magazine he edited at
one time. Atkinson was a prolific writer, and his many books on New
Thought achieved wide circulation among New Thought devotees and
practitioners. He is also known to have been the author of the
pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.
Due in part to his intense personal secrecy and
exstensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite
having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America,
Religious Leaders of America.
Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882
onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of
Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession
as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and
during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental
breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the
late 1880's he found it with New Thought. From mental and physical
wreck and financial ruin, he wrought perfect health, mental vigor and
material prosperity, which he attributed to the application of the
principles of New Thought.
Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to
write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered. By the early
1890's Chicago had become a major centre for New Thought... and
Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active
promoter of the movement as an editor and author. Throughout his
subsequent career, Atkinson wrote and published under his own name and
many pseudonyms, which were linked together by a series of publishing
houses with shared addresses and a series of magazines with a shared
roster of authors.
In the 1890s, Atkinson had become interested in
Hinduism and after 1900 he devoted a great deal of effort to the
diffusion of yoga and Oriental occultism in the West. According to
unverifiable sources, while Atkinson was in Chicago at the World's
Columbian Exposition in 1893, he met one Baba Bharata, a pupil of the
late Indian mystic Yogi Ramacharaka (1799 - c.1893). As the story goes,
Bharata had become acquainted with Atkinson's writings after arriving
in America, the two men shared similar ideas, and so they decided to
collaborate. While performing his New Thought editor job, it is
claimed, Atkinson co-wrote with Bharata a series of books which they
attributed to Bharata's teacher, Yogi Ramacharaka.
In 1903, the same year that he began his writing
career as Yogi Ramacharaka, Atkinson was admitted to the Bar of
Illinois. Perhaps it was a desire to protect his ongoing career as a
lawyer that led him to adopt so many pseudonyms. The works of Yogi
Ramacharaka were published over the course of nearly ten years
beginning in 1903. Some were originally issued as a series of lectures
delivered at the frequency of one lesson per month. Additional material
was issued at each interval in the form of supplementary textbooks.
Atkinson died November 22, 1932 in Los Angeles,
California at the age of 70, after 50 years of simultaneously
successful careers in business, writing, and the law.
