Bodily Yoga of Demonic Asuras (U-219)

(1) Asuras (demons) and people under the influence of asuras, asuric, and demonic forces are very careful about their physical bodies; they usually do not like overexerting themselves or toil. They are happy to rest so as not to become overexerted or exhausted. Asuras believe that they should not overexert their bodies unnecessarily. They look for comfortable places to rest and relax. Demonic people are most easily attracted by teachings about rest and ease, relaxation and comfort and pleasures, and self-indulgence. They are most interested in methods that are as easy and quick as possible, effective and efficient as possible, such as quick relaxation. Asuric forces function best and are nourished in relaxing forms of yogic training, where each exercise is easy, simplified, done briefly, effortlessly, and relaxing. Asuras, demons, and evil nature beings from the patala spheres are beings who greatly value their own bodies and physical bodies because only through the body can they fulfil all the desires of the mind, whims and fancies. They do not like to toil their bodies without great need; they take great care of their physical appearance, looks, and physical parameters, including the strength of the body and their flat bellies. Demons and demonic people consider their bodies to be extremely important and only their physical bodies are wanted to be perfected, which also shows tendencies towards demonically perverted forms of yoga or tantra. Asuras like to practice unnaturally, perverting the natural yogic practices serving good and light, including meditation on light and connection with the Higher Self, Atman and God, Brahman. The drive to pervert and deform yoga from its natural exercises are, for example, pegs and stools and hanging belts, except that yogis practice with the will and power of the body and spirit, and not by hanging on belts or in scarves or, worse still, in hammocks. Reducing the yoga system to sets of exercises in some single series without isometric practices of longer duration in a position, practising in heated rooms, although yoga is practised in clearings and gardens, amid nature, sitting under an old tree, shows what great evil false instructors and false teachers are, frauds in the field of yogic work.

(2) Long-term, exhausting training, requiring extreme effort, kills, discourages, and rejects asuras. However, hard and exhausting training cleanses, frees and heals people possessed by asuric influences. Toil, fatigue, and even more dedication are the characteristics of divine servants, workers of heaven, servants of Śiva God and his initiated spiritual disciples like Brahma or Vishnu. True yoga is a deep spiritual and mystical training to which ungodly and demonic asuras should be introduced slowly and carefully so that they have some time to transform their minds shrouded in darkness. Still, it is absolutely forbidden to remain on the physical, corporeal level of practising asana gymnastics alone because then it is not yoga. Materialistically deformed and reduced to corporeal forms of yoga, consisting mainly of asana and gymnastic positions, are learned by asura, demonic people, possessed by darkening demonic or hellish powers. Demonic people, rakshasas, are interested only in perfecting and beautifying their bodies, hence their attraction to fragments of yoga exercises aimed at perfecting the body. Such physical, bodily yoga attracts asuric people enveloped in darkness, under the rule of tamas, in the mode of ignorance, bound by darkness and obscurantism. If any alleged instructor or teacher of yoga teaches only bodily exercises in practice, treating yoga as gymnastics based on asanas or their imitations, he is enveloped in tamas, being in the mode of ignorance (stupidity), as a tamasic teacher of asuric rakshasas having human incarnations.

(3) Yoga has been intercepted, impoverished, and distorted for centuries by asura leaders eager to teach only physical exercises selected from all yoga and ignore its depth and spiritual dimension and the yogic universalist cult of devas - celestials and enlightened divine spiritual masters. True yoga is a comprehensive exercise and perfection for spiritual union with God the Absolute, with Brahman, and on the way also with Atman - the divine Higher Self, the divine Soul. Asanas, exercises of postures and body positions and their arrangements, are just one of eight or nine simultaneously practised groups of yogic exercises for the inner development of man. The value of physical exercises is not denied in yoga, but they cannot be a goal in themselves or the only occupation of alleged yoga practitioners. The physical body dies the fastest, and in the process of rebirth, a new physical body is obtained according to the spiritual, mental-emotional, and not physical perfection pattern. Physical exercises alone do not contribute much to the overall progress of a person in practice throughout many incarnations of the Soul (Jivah, Jivatman) on the earthly vale. A good person obtains a good body for his spiritual development, so the lack of training in goodness will result in that, despite physical exercise, there will be no clear progress in the development of the consciousness of the rakshasa demonic man, who must additionally strengthen goodness so that its patterns significantly outweigh the patterns of darkness. Yogic practice, sadhana, which is well described in twenty ancient treatises of the yogic upanishads, is based mainly on mantras from the Vedas, practices of mental concentration and meditation (dhyanam), and not on physical exercises of the body called asanas, which have only an auxiliary meaning and serve meditation, prayer and samadhi.

(4) The demonic tendencies of the asura people are thoroughly purified, among others, through the processes of bhakti, adoration and spiritual devotion to God, the deities of heaven and the masters of the yogic lineages. Every true yoga teaches purification and transformation of the demonic nature of the traits; it cannot perpetuate or serve the demonic nature of rakshasa people, as is usually the case with only gymnastic exercises based on yogic asanas. One should be careful when choosing instructors and teachers of alleged yoga so as not to fall into the traps of asura deceivers who offer only a physical course of alleged asanas, or even more often, asana-like exercises and muscle relaxation, and close the gates of yoga to those interested in yoga, which is really a deep spiritual training, and what is essential in it is based on meditation and prayer, on striving to awaken consciousness in the light and moving towards spiritual enlightenment. Many old masters and saints of God practised yoga; Master Śiva Mahadeva, Master Ramaćandra, Master Krishna, Master Buddha, Master Mahavira, and Master Jesus all practised yoga intensively. It has always been the whole of yoga, not just its material, corporeal fragment in the form of asanas, which are supposed to serve people who meditate intensively to form a lotus body and strengthen the weak points of the body subjected to intensive meditation or prayer.

(5) Modern pseudo-leaders of pseudo-yoga, yoga frauds, originally known as kuyogis (false yogis), sell belts, pegs, ropes, hanging scarves, and fitness passes, drawing people into the most distorted and deceptive forms of pseudo-yoga, often completely devoid of even traces of the practice of concentration, meditation or prayer. If some training under the name of yoga does not include or even leads away from spiritual perfection, development of the mind, unification with Atman (the true Self) or Brahman (the Absolute), we are undoubtedly dealing with kuyoga, with yoga fraud in the form of a false imitation of yoga. It is necessary to ensure that the alleged instructor has the qualifications in the form of an appropriate initiation (dikshana) into yoga received from a competent guru (yoga master). There is no guru, and there is no yoga because the entire tradition of yoga is strictly based on the lines of transmission from the most ancient yoga masters, such as Śiva Mahadeva and Parvati Devi. All true yoga masters warn humanity against falling into the hands of demonic impostors, usually pretenders who, under the banner of yoga, practice idle gymnastics for relaxation and to practice a few physical tricks of the fakir kind. Of course, the catchy slogans of yoga, such as good health and longevity, have always attracted people to asuric demonic impostors. Still, without deep meditation and prayer practices, establishing a connection with the Atmic sphere and Brahman - there is no possibility of realising these slogans with the help of physical exercises alone. Prana and dhyana are the keys to properly cultivating the true yoga of the old masters.
