Aham manurabhavam suryascha
Rig Veda 4.26.1, Vāmadeva, the sage, uttered this verse while yet in the womb, with the knowledge of truth in him, identifying himself with the universal existence through the lens of the ultimate truth that "I am everything"
अ॒हं मनु॑रभवं॒ सूर्य॑श्चा॒हं
Journey into Yoga
The full sholka reads, “I have been Manu and Sūrya; I am the wise ṛiṣi: Kakṣīvat; I have befriended Kutsa, the son of Arjuni; I am the far-seeing Uśanās; so behold me.”
Welcome to Pranidhanam Yoga, where we delve into the profound essence of existence and explore the wisdom of ancient teachings. In this vast universe, we humbly acknowledge our smallness and the timeless existence that predates us. Here, we challenge the fragmented perception of self, embracing our connection to nature as humans.
The mind, limited in its understanding, cannot grasp the vast truths of the universe. It is through self-realization that we discover the essence of our being, including our body, mind, history, and the profound insights preserved by India’s ancient culture spanning 5000 years.
How can we truly know ourselves?
By questioning our knowledge, examining our beliefs, and cultivating self-awareness through continuous practice. As we surrender to the infinite creation, we awaken to a fluid perspective of life, recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. This awakening requires radical commitment, unwavering dedication, and the support of like-minded individuals we can call our own.
Join us on this transformative journey as we embrace the profound teachings of yoga, inviting you to explore the depths of your being and experience life from a new perspective. Together, we imbibe the essence of self-discovery and create a space where awakening thrives.
