THE COMPARISON OF GYM AND YOGA !

GYM VS YOGA

PHYSICAL EXERCISES ARE DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT ALL PARTS OF BODY GET SOME MOVEMENTS (STRETCH AND SUBSEQUENT RELAX) TO PREVENT IDLENESS. THE PERSPIRATION SO GENERATED DURING OR AFTER BODY MOVEMENTS, HELPS BURNING EXCESS FATS AND CALORIES. DEEP BREATH INCREASES OXYGEN INTAKE, IMPROVES LUNGS' CAPACITY TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT. AIR IS ALSO A GOOD PURIFIER FOR INTERNAL ORGANS, WHICH ARE OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. WHEN WE RUN OR JOG, WE ARE FORCED TO TAKE LONG AND DEEP BREATH AND THIS TYPE OF BREATHING HELPS OXIDIZING EACH AND EVERY CELL, HENCE YOU FEEL REFRESH. YOGA IS A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE COLLECTED THROUGH THOUGHT PROCESSING AND MEDITATION FOR MANY YEARS BY OUR COUNTLESS SAINTS AND HOLY PERSONS. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE BENEFITS OF DIFFERENT POSTURES, MEDITATION ETC. AND PENNED DOWN ITS DO'S AND DON'TS. THESE SCRIPTURES AND BOOKS NEED TO STUDY IN DEPTH. FOR EXAMPLES, SHRI MADBHAGAD GITA, EXPLICITLY EXPLAINS AS TO WHAT IS YOGA, HOW IT IS TO BE PERFORMED AND PRACTISED FOR LONG TERM. IT IS MENTIONED THAT YOGA SUCCEEDS FOR THOSE PERSONS WHO TAKE MEDIUM QUANTITY OF FOOD (NO OVEREATING OR NO STARVING), REQUISITE SLEEP (NO SO LESS THAT IT AFFECTS BODY NOR EXCESS TO FEEL LAZY) AND EXERCISES CONTROL ON DESIRES. BEFORE STARTING YOGA, YOU MUST FEEL OR CHANT THREE BASICS.

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO
I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING
I AM NOTHING

THIS WAY YOU FEEL CONTENTMENT AND GRADUALLY CONTROL ON BODY AND MINDS GOES ON INCREASING.

IT IS WORTHWHILE TO DISCUSS THE COMPARISON OF YOGA AND GYM. GYM HAS BEEN MORE OF FASHIONABLE FOR LONG, PEOPLE FEEL PROUND OR STATUS SYMBOL TO MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE AND ATTRACTS YOUNGSTERS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE DESIROUS TO DEVELOP FIVE PACKS OR SEVEN PACKS BODY BUILD UP WHEREAS YOGA IS SLOWLY GAINING ATTENTION WORLDWIDE, CUTTING ACROSS AGE GROUPS, CASTE AND RELIGIONS. BOTH BODY BUILDING AND YOGA ATTRACTS EQUALLY TO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BALANCED DIET IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH BODY AND SAME WAY BODY BUILDING ALSO EMPHASIZES ON NUTRITION, NOT QUANTITY. CONCEPTUALLY NON VEGETARIAN FOOD IS NOT SUITABLE IF YOU WANT TO PRACTICE YOGA, WHEREAS BODY BUILDING MAY RECOMMEND EGGS, MEAT, FISH OR PORK. YOGA IS QUITE CHEAP, RATHER NO INVESTMENT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE COSTLY MACHINES. GYM CAN HARM YOUR BODY IF IT IS PRACTICED WRONGLY WHEREAS YOGA IS NOT HAVING ANY HARM, YOU MAY NOT GET FULL ADVANTAGE IF PRACTICED WITHOUT CORRECT PROCEDURE OR SEQUENCE.

GYM OR YOGA

YOGA IS NOT WESTERN CONCEPT, IT ORGINATED IN ANCIENT INDIA. BUT DUE TO TENDENCY OF FEW PEOPLE TO KEEP IT SECRET, IT VANISED FROM COMMON KNOWLEDGE. IT HAS REGAINED ITS IMPORTANCE ONCE ITS ADVANTAGES ARE KNOWN TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE. YOGA MAKES BODY FLEXIBLE, SOFT AND EAST TO FOLD OR MOVE WHEREAS TYM MAKES BODY STIFF, HARD AND DIFFICULT TO TWIST. SOFTER BODY (JUST LIKE THAT OF CHILDREN) HELPS YOU LIVE LONGER WHEREAS HARD BODY IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN IN OLD AGE. YOGA ACTS AS GUARANTEE OR RESIST DISEASE WHEREAS GYM HAS NO SUCH QUALITY. YOGA ACTS ON BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT WHEREAS GYM WORKOUTS FOCUS AT IMPROVING BODY'S PHYSICAL CONDITIONS. CHANGES ARE SLOW IN CASE OF YOGA, WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT HURRY UP, WHEREAS IN CASE OF GYM WORKOUT, IT IS NORMALLY TIME BOUND. IT MAY CAUSE INJURY ALSO. YOGA DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR HUNGER, BUT ENSURES THAT WHATEVER YOU INTAKE, IT PROPERLY UTILIZED FOR YOUR BODY. YOGA INSTITUTES HAVE NO MIRRORS WHEREAS IN GYMS YOU MAY SEE MANY MIRRORS TO SEE AS TO HOW IT IS IMPROVING. YOGA TEACHES AND YOU HAVE IMPROVED ON YOURSELF AND NO COMPARISON WITH OTHERS. YOGA ACCEPTS AS YOU ARE. IN SPITE OF BEING VERY CHEAP. IT HAS GOT MANY ADVANTAGES INCLUDING REACHING THE HEIGHT OF SPIRITUAL FEELINGS AND ACTUALIZING YOUR ESTEEM NEEDS. IT SHOULD NOT BE COMMUNICATED AS SECULAR OR FANATIC. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ATTEMPTS TO POLITICIZE YOGA AS COMMUNAL FLAVOR. IN FACT, YOGA HELPS TO ACT AS BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR INDIVIDUAL POWERS TO SUPERNATURAL POWER, WHICH IS CONCEPTUALLY SHAPELESS.
