At the time of undergoing Bharanyasam, I was practising yoga asanas. However, I stopped practising yoga asanas within 3 months after completing Bharanyasam. I understand that Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Swami Desikan have recommended yoga as a good way to control the mind. I only practised the asanas taught for physical exercise. In the yoga class, they usually start the class with the Patanjali prayer “yOgEna chittasya padEna vAchAm…” and sometimes rarely with the verse “gurur brahmA gurur viSNu…”. Will this create a connection with other deities?
