Trivir Yoga Program
The world has given unprecedented respect to the Indian tradition of Yoga by declaring 21st June as the 'International Day of Yoga'. Now, the responsibility of the Indian Yogacharyas has increased. Continuing the vibrancy of Yoga and presenting the right picture of Yoga to the whole world is now our moral responsibility.
Yoga has been confined to posture (Aasan), breathing exercises (Pranayam) and physical exercises only, in today’s world, and up to a great extent in India as well. But the fact is that all these are a part of 'Yoga of Breathing' (Hatha Yog), which is only 10% of Yoga.
Eight centres are described in Yoga – Root Centre (Muladhar Chakra), Sacral Centre (Swadhishthan Chakra), Navel Centre (Manipur Chakra), Heart Centre (Anahat Chakra), Throat Centre (Vishuddha Chakra), Third-eye Centre (Agya Chakra), Crown Centre (Sahasraar Chakra) and Moon Centre (Som Chakra).
Every centre is connected to some level of consciousness and a special Yoga. Root centre is connected to the body and 'Yoga of Action' (Karma Yoga). Sacral centre is connected to the senses and 'Yoga of Senses' (Tantra Yoga). Navel centre is connected to the life force (breaths) and 'Yoga of Breathing' (Hatha Yoga). Heart centre is connected to the heart (sub-conscious) and 'Yoga of Devotion' (Bhakti Yoga). Throat centre is linked to the mind and 'Yoga of Wisdom' (Gyan Yoga). Third-eye centre is connected to the being (Amness, Asmita) and 'Yoga of Awareness (Dhyan Yoga). Crown centre is connected to the Subjective consciousness (soul) and 'Yoga of Suchness (Sankhya Yoga). Moon centre is connected to Omkar (Godliness) and Yoga of Universal Consciousness (Sahaj Yoga). The description of all these types of Yoga is given in the Vedas, Upanishads and the Gita.
Sahaj Yoga includes Yoga of Divine Sound (Surati Yoga), Yoga of Divine Light (Nirati Yoga), Yoga of Divine Elixir (Amrit Yoga), Yoga of Divine Peace (Ajapa Yoga), Yoga of Divine Energy (Urja Yoga), Yoga of Divine Experiences (Divya Yoga), Yoga of Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya Yoga), Yoga of Divine Bliss (Anand Yoga), Yoga of Divine Love (Prem Yoga), Yoga of Non-duality (Adwait Yoga), Yoga of Absolute Freedom (Kaivalya Yoga), Yoga of Salvation (Nirvaan Yoga) and some other types beyond them.
Today, when the politics is dominating our life, the whole world must take refuge of Yoga for eternal blissfulness. In this backdrop, the decision of the Government of India to include Yoga in the syllabus of schools and colleges is revolutionary and appreciable.
Osho Siddharth Foundation (OSF) has developed 7 levels of Trivir Yoga Programs (TYP-1 to TYP-7) for this, which it is going to implement in its affiliated schools from the next session. Other schools and colleges can also take advantage of this curriculum. Every level is of 6 days each and is sequential. This means that the students can participate in the higher level of program only after completing the lower level of program.
After completing the 7th level of the program, i.e. TYP-7, the students will be admitted to the 8th and other 20 higher levels of programs of Oshodhara (visit www.oshodhara.org.in) which are organized on a regular basis at various Oshodhara centres.
