Prabhavananda: perfection of body including beauty, grace, strength and hardness of thunder bolt

Satchitananda: beauty grace, strength and adamaintain bodily perfection

Osho: beauty grace strength and admaintain hardness constitute a perfect body.

Patanjali is giving a definition about perfect body. please understand. Let us read step by step. Roopa can be translated in two way – in men’s body please understand I am translating very clearly in men’s body it is beauty and in women’s body it is handsomeness. In the yogic tradition the feminine expression in the masculine body and masculine expression in the feminine body is defined as Roopa. There is a clear definition of Roopa by the bhasyakaaras in the yogic tradition. feminine grace in the masculine body and masculine expression in the feminine body is called Roopa. We have just a superficial body based beauty. We know only about skin, not about body. we will promote a new concept of this Ms.World, Ms.Universe,etc based on the Vedic tradtion.

Per the tantric and vedic tradition, beauty means a certain reflection of the onlookers expectation in your inner space mirror which makes the other person feel fulfilled when he tastes your form through the eyes. When an onlooker tastes your form through his eyes, certain expectation in his being Is fulfilled by the reflection of that expectation in your inner space! So naturally a masculine body which carries the feminine grace only that kind of body can fulfill the expectation of all the onlookers! Whether the onlooker who is tasting your body through his eyes is man or woman, only a masculine body radiating feminine grace can fulfill. Same way, if you are carrying a feminine body the masculine handsomeness can fulfill the onlookers expectation. The word Roopa needs to be understood in a very deeper context. That is why many people who are not socially beautiful or handsome as per the societal standards, will be fulfilling millions of eyes! There will be some people whose Roopa will be enjoyed by millions of eyes in Cinema, movies, TVs celebrities as per standards of the cream sellers. It may not be fitting. Because beauty has 2 definitions – definitions by the superficial promoters, definition by the beings experiencing. As per any social standard, you cannot call Ramana Maharshi as handsome or beautiful. But see the grace he radiates. 60 year old man sitting with just a loin cloth. You can see group photos of Ramana Ashram, there are so many who are also in the same dress as him with just a loin cloth. But only his form is so graceful! You cannot imagine you enter a hall and a 60 year old with just a loin cloth is looking at you! this is a usual phenomena in normal Bharatn villages. But even the international visitors who came felt such an extraordinary grace.

I have seen Yogi Ram Surat Kumar. He will be sitting with such dirty clothes. Never will brush the teeth, no 1,2,3. But the grace his body radiates and the childlike innocence. When I remember him now, I can paint him, I can carve him. That much my eyes have tasted his form! I am not even talking about others whom I saw in extraordinary planes like Arunagiri Yogeshwara and Saraswathi. I am talking about people who walked in the ordinary plane. Annamalai Swamigal – lean guy. But the grace he radiated. There is no iota of the youth in any of the names I am mentioning now. All the names I am mentioning Ramana Maharshi, Annamalai Swamigal, Ram Surat Kumar when I saw the latter two, they were all above 60. They were very old. When I saw them when they were young, i could say maybe the grace of youth is there in me. But I am talking about all old people. You cannot discount saying it is the grace of youth. No. they were able to fulfill just by reflecting the expectations of an onlooker who is tasting their form through the eyes by being a pure mirror in their inner space.

Let me repeat. By being a pure mirror in their inner space and reflecting the expectation of the onlooker’s eyes which is tasting their form, they were able to give a deep fulfillment. That is the exact meaning of the word Beauty – Roopaha. The Sanskrit word Roopa means the ability to fulfill the expectation of the eyes which tastes the form. Lavanya that is the next word. Still you cannot translate the word Lavanya into English. They have translated as charm, grace, etc.

The beauty and grace you experience during the movements of the body is called Lavanya. For example, sometimes some people will be very graceful and beautiful till they open their mouth. The moment they open their mouth all the respect you have for them will disappear. Or some movements like dance, your respect will disappear. Or in photograph they will be beautiful. But when you meet them, your respect for them will be lost. Sometime in photograph in static form everything will be great. But when you see them in action it is lost. Lavanya means radiating grace during the movements.

Roopa means fulfilling the expectation of the onlooker’s eyes which are tasting your form. Lavanya means fulfilling the expectation of all 5 senses of the onlooker’s expectation. Apart from the eyes, the nose expects somebody’s presence – how it should smell. The ears expect how somebody’s presence should be heard. The body feels how somebody’s presence should be felt by your body – I am not talking about touch, I am talking about the presence. Your body and skin, your tongue has its own expectation. Lavanya means the ability to fulfill the expectation of the onlooker’s all 5 senses! So Lavanya is much deeper than Roopa.

Then comes Bala – strength. Let me define strength. Ability to make anything swallow into energy! Ability to convert anything swallowed into energy and the ability to express that energy in a pure physical level – the word pure physical level I will define. For example, your hand any weapon you are able to handle, you should be able to do that job without the help of that weapon. For example, your hand can handle a knife. Without the help of knife, if your hand can perform the job of the knife is called strength. Without using any weapons if your hands can perform the same things it is strength.

So Bala has 2 parts. 1 - The ability to convert anything which is swallowed into energy means a strong intestine. Means the intestine which can convert anything swallowed into energy. 2 – the body which can do any act without the help of any weapon which can perform the acts that can be done with the weapon. If you can break a stone with a crowbar, the ability to break the stone with your body is bala.

For example, you can operate air craft, but flying without aircraft that is not what is bala – this is siddha. Bala means shastra. Astra means that which goes out of your hand and performs certain action instruments like a spear, arrow. Bala is not astra. It is shastra. Sword is shastra means weapon which stays in your hand and performs some action. Sword, crowbar all these things do some actions while they stay in your hand. The ability to perform actions without astra is called Shastra.

Sam hananatvani means 2 things. 1 – the construction of the muscles and complexion. The shining of the skin. Patanjali defines Roopa, lavanya, bala vajra, samhananatvani – 4 qualities. Samhananatvani is the built structure. It is not too masculine. You can see the Mr.Universe guys or the body builders you cannot see their face, even the body will not look graceful, handsome, beautiful. No. it is just looks animalistic. That is not what Patanjali says as samhananatvani. All these 4 should be there. Where the muscle structure is there but the roopa, the feminine grace is also their as part of the being. Same way the charm. Just imagine if a body builder dances how ugly it will look. They may have the structure but the lavanya will be missing. Sometime people will have lavanya but bala will be missing.

Here Patanajali says Roopa lavanya bala vajra samhananatvaani - This is what is kaaya sampath – excellence perfection in body. I can say our whole Nithya yoga and eNfitness both I have designed for all these 4. I am not aiming just at strength, Roopa – grace. I am aiming at all these 4. Pure essence of Patanjali’s yoga I am sharing with you in eNfitness and Nithya Yoga. That is why the Bharatn way of working with the body is totally different. We never had plastic surgery for beautification. We had Yoga, Akkadas for this to create the perfect body. we trusted unique methods developed by our masters because the very definition of beauty is different. That is why we never worked to create skin creams. We worked on proper processes, techniques to create beauty from inside not outside. Beauty is 2 kind – blanketed beauty and blood filled beauty. Yogic tradition is blood filled beauty not just blanketed beauty. Patanjali gives us various samyamas and techniques and now defines what is the definition of yogic body, perfect body.

Whoever wants to be my disciple, follower, devotee. I put this as a spiritual quality – having a yogic body is a spiritual quality. Either you have it or you work for it. I am not making ugliness as sacred. NO. I am making it very clear. Always this feeling is created in the society to sanctify being dirty. Understand again I am defining very clearly. Beauty is nothing to do the dimensions of your body. it is the ability to fulfill the expectation s of the onlooker’s eyes. It is possible through Yoga. But somehow this self pity has become spiritual. Understand suicide is not spiritual quality. Self pity is not spiritual quality. Don’t use yourself pity to sanctify, deitify the lacking qualities or unfulfillment in you. I have seen people who are in poverty somehow dietify the poverty. Because of the wrong mental set up and inability to alter and transform their poverty, they try to sanctify. Understand, the groups which say let us share and enjoy. What is there to share? First let us create, then we can share. This foolish concepts, wrong ideas of wealth and poverty got into our brains. Without understanding the truths about life and wealth, many people deitify poverty. Service should be done with a right understanding. That is not a complete solution. The vedic tradition is so intelligent and understands the economics we do not create poor people. We instead had a complete solution! First Vedic tradition was swindled, then the concept of poverty was filled in us and then the concept of service was introduced. I want to tell all spiritual organizations from Vedic tradition who lost in social service without right understanding, don’t lose your whole intelligence and energy in just service. Don’t get lost in few hospitals and schools. It is great to do that. Service is needed. But unfortunately, many of the hindu spiritual organizations lost the spiritual aspects in the name of social service. That is a crime. Don’t lose your spiritual identity or keeping alive the great spiritual life and the strength. People are stuck in running few schools and colleges. I am not against service. But that alone is not life. When Vivekananda said he makes a word for next 50 years let us forget about all our temples. Let us just serve poor people. Because at that time when he said that our Bharat was being swindled and filled with poverty. Now that 50 years is over. Why are we still stuck with that forgetting the spiritual qualities. I am not asking you to stop services. Handover that to people who are just in that level. please understand, if you think food is the best thing happened in your life share that with the world, clothes, education, medical care – then share these with the world. if you think more than these, enlightenment spiritual knowledge is the best thing happened in my life, then share that with the world. I invite all people who have experienced spiritual transformation to share that with the world. Leave sharing food, medicines, clothes to people who are at that level and who can do that job.

Unfortunately, we have very few people who experienced spiritual transformation which is higher than food, medical care, education and clothes. If you are radiating the spiritual knowledge you will teach the truth about wealth. You will not deitify poverty. Pharmacists and hospitals can thrive only if there are more patients.

In vedic tradition we never created a system and wanted to keep poverty alive on planet earth. If all the hindu spiritual organizations wake up and teaches the right concept of wealth and inspiring society to create that is enough. We will eradicate poverty on planet earth. We will not be wasting our time and energy on providing temporary solutions. The complete solution is demonizing poverty. You should not be celebrating if you are living in poverty. Poverty is just your laziness, non creating and exploiting a weak mental set up. Let us all be responsible. Be creating and contributing to society. Simply we will create and share. Upanishad says - annam bahu guru veeta – let us stretch our brain and intelligence to the extreme and create. Instead of deitifying poverty, worshipping self pity and sanctifying ignorance, let us take responsibility and create. But the fellows who thrive on the existence of poor people go on deitifying poverty. I tell you all the Ms. Universe, Mr.Universe, etc dieitify ugliness. They constantly remind you of your ugliness so that you can buy all their skin products. They show one person larger than life in the whole world means they are saying the remaining 6 billion people are ugly! If somebody has to be declared as the most handsome or beautiful person in the world, every person in the world should agree. But I don’t agree. That is enough for them not be Ms.universe, Mr. Universe – I am also part of the universe, I am denying! Take their crown out. In Bharatn tradition we declare ourselves as Jagath Guru – Universal Guru means I am declaring. Guru does not necessarily need to have a disciples. But your Ms.Universe crown is declared by a group of people. If you declare I am Ms.Universe without any completion, I am okay with it. This single Ms.Universe messes the whole universe. You should call it is as the mess universe title. Not Ms. Universe! See in Vedic tradition, every street has Jagath Guru. We don’t have a problem. No need to have any voting, no need to select you, we just declare we are Jagath Gurus. That’s all. Vedic tradition clearly says you don’t even need a Guru you just need to say abhayam sarva bhootebhyo – 3 times. That’s all. You are a Jagath Guru. You need to understand the conflict creating systems should be slowly dismantled. If somebody is being declared as Ms.Universe, you declare yourself as Mr. Moon, Ms. Sun. Who has the right to give you crown of Ms.Universe? Simply one buffalo can oppose. Because buffalo is part of the universe!

Understand the concept of real beauty. Real beauty is not blanketing but from the blood. If you are not already experiencing the real beauty or not working for real beauty, don’t justify laziness, lack of intelligence. NO. if you superficially listen it will look like paradox. I want you to first understand real beauty and fake certified blanketed beauty. I am only talking about Beauty from inside. I want all my disciples, followers, devotees to already have or work towards developing the yogic body. You may think God will accept me even if I am not beautiful. No I don’t accept! If you already have it, great. If not, start working for it. not having the inner Beauty as described by Patnjali the kaaya sampathaha is not acceptable. God teaches everybody does not mean he accepts everybody. If you are sick not having the yogic body learn and transform. Don’t expect with is big pot belly you can enter into the gates of heaven. I have already made the gates short! Work out morning and noon. Get into the proper frame. In the outside gate of heaven we now have the inch tape, the BMI scale, the instrument which measures the fat, everything. So create a Yogic body. then even in the dream you will see the body that you see in your waking state. Otherwise you don’t remember the body you see in your dreams when you wake up. When you build a yogic body you will evolve and even in your dream you will clearly remember top to bottom. This is the symptom for a yogic body. if you can remember all the 21 tips of your body in your dream you have a yogic body. so build a yogic body – do Nithya Yoga and eNfitness.

In Nithya Yoga I am giving the pure crystal essence of Patanjali yoga fitness. In eNfitness I have done more and more R\&D for some of the things necessary for modern man whose body has become different by eating so many pesticides. So for your body I have done updations in eNfitness. NithyaYoga is sruthi and eNfitness is smriti. Blessings!
