The Incredible Power of Classical Hatha Yoga | Sadhguru

Transcript

we want to bring back classical yoga in its purest form not the studio yoga not the book yoga not the kind of things that are being done they were done in the world proper classical yoga which is a phenomenally powerful science so what makes something classical is one thing is the period of its existence which definitely all yoga has in a specific form if it is existed for a period and another thing for a language is that it must have a substantial body of literature that is it is not just people are speaking it many people have written many things about it explored various dimensions of life using that language there is a substantial body of literature and it has existed for a sufficient amount of time where you really can't pin the exact date when it started the hata yoga as we are teaching this is not happening now this has happened for millennia in this form because the significance of this lineage is this is a lineage which clearly understands we are dumb idiots when you know you're a dumb idiot you will not try to change anything that's the significance of being stupid hello when you think you're stupid you don't think you will have to innovate isn't it people who think they are smart they always have to make something of their own they have to leave a signature so this is a lineage where nobody left a signature on the yoga [Music] the practice as you see it the mechanics of it is simply the body you have to breathe life into it otherwise it will not become alive this is why in the traditions there's been so much stress in the live room to make it alive we want to build people who are willing to invest their life into the profoundness of yoga not getting fancy benefits out of it not hanging onto a chair or a tree and thinking you're doing yoga so to bring back that dimension and that's not going to happen by instruction only a phenomenal energy is needed otherwise yoga cannot be taught without a phenomenal sense of energy no yoga can be taught if you teach yoga without creating a vessel of energy then that yoga is not yoga that is just a force that farce is going all over the place right now so because we created this with that intention we want a powerful space we want this to be such a vibrant space that if you simply sit here really tune into what's happening here in this hall or what will be happening here in the next 24 hours you must be able to know all the yoga sutras you never have to open a book never have to listen to anybody you just have to energy tune yourself and it will be there to make that happen you need a powerful space otherwise such things will not happen tomorrow when we are not here there still has to be a space which will teach yoga maybe there will be just a teacher maybe there will be no guru here maybe there will be just a teacher even if a teacher stands here suddenly things should come out of them that they do not know they should begin to say things they should begin to feel things they should begin to experience things that they themselves do not know only then we can transmit this [Music] like never before distortions are also happening to yoga serious distortions most ridiculous distortions are happening so at a time like this going out in the world and offering mark my words i'm saying offering offering classical yoga is a a very significant and an important thing to do because the populations on the planet are showing interest but to provide the genuine thing is a tremendous responsibility the day we have produced let's say ten thousand classical yoga teachers who are actively on in the world after that this will become the standard that's all we need to do so you must live and offer this in such an inspiring way anybody who sees you should want to do it this way [Music] ah [Music]
