 So, while doing our research on the Panchakoshas and Ashtangyog and how they can be used as the rubric of the interventions, I came across this ICDES world, this is the name of the organization and Sri Lalji is its founder. They have beautifully captured the five Koshas, Panchakoshas and their related Ashtangyog practices. Lalji is a very, very committed practitioner. He spent years in different types of sadhana, different type of yogic practices under the tutelage of none other than Acharya Sriram Sharmaji who is the founder of Gayatri Parivaar who is the founding editor of the very famous, very, very popular and reputed spiritual magazine called Akhand Jyoti, amazing work he has done. So, they have and in his organization ICDES, they have very beautifully juxtaposed the different practices. I have not been trained by this organization, so I cannot explain these practices. I can understand few by the name, but the practice of yog is such that different organizations can actually bring some creativity, some permutation and combination which can do great things which can be innovation in itself. So, I am not going to explain these practices, but I can also, but I will suddenly mention what lengthening different aspects or different koshas of self. Physical body is the first Annamayakosh, Annamayakosh if we keep our Annamayakosh well, then it will give health, longevity and youthfulness. If we take care of our Pranamayakosh that is managed through breath as I just explained that gives royal personality, that gives our ability to work smartly, that enhances oj and tej that can also bring fame to our life. Then comes Manomayakosh, Manomayakosh when we nurture Manomayakosh in our personality we can develop patience, mental balance, concentration and intelligence. When we take care of Vijnanamayakosh our sixth sense arises or some people also call it third eye, gentleness, sympathy, ability to look at pattern before others all these capabilities come when we maintain or manage when we strengthen our Vijnanamayakosh and Anandamayakosh when it is nurtured we reach to the self actualization, limitless happiness. These are the outcomes of nurturing the Anandamayakosh and then Lalji has and this organization teaches many practices related to yoga. These are and these can be mapped towards strengthening some or other form of Koshas. Actually all the practices influence all the Koshas but they operate mainly in one they reflect first mainly in one Koshas and then the impact of that spill over to the other Koshas that is how it works. So, now this is excellent example this can be explored what we are going to do in this course is this much. We are going to look at the interventions for managing self and career corresponding to five Koshas. So, Anandamayakosh we are going to look at Ahar and Asanas. We will have session on how to use Ahar as intervention food as intervention for managing self and career and we will also discuss about Asanas. In Pranamayakosh we are going to discuss Pranayam. I will also share some resources for you to learn the Pranayam some basic Pranayams. Manomayakosh is probably most interesting of the Koshas because all the drama is emotional drama and all the emotions are mainly seated in the Manomayakosh. So, we are going to discuss the Yaminiyam as the ways of managing Manomayakosh. Chitta prasad this is one mantra and how it can be achieved that is also an aspect of managing Manomayakosh. How to manage negative emotions like fearfulness, anxiety, dependence, sentimentality we all talk about stress all the time, but stress is just the reflection of the surface of mind. Underneath the stress are either fearfulness, anxiety, dependence or sentimentality related emotions. How to manage that, how to come over that, how to reduce that those in our personality that is what we are going to discuss as an intervention in this course. We are also going to discuss Pratyahar. Pratyahar can be excellent intervention to manage our Manomayakosh as well as Vijnanamayakosh. Vijnanamayakosh is the seat of intellect, internalized knowledge. How do we manage that? We can manage that by identifying purpose in life but the question is how I discover my purpose and that is what we are going to discuss as an intervention when we look at the intervention at the Vijnanamayakosh. Karma Yog looks like it operates at Anamayakosh because physical action is incorporated in the Karma Yog but it is in my understanding is excellent input to manage Vijnanamayakosh. Modern time mostly people are driven by intellect. Mostly people operate and use their intellect so much so that they suppress the Manomayakosh, do not take care of the Pranamayakosh and as a result they are also not able to be very sensitive and hence not able to take care of Anamayakosh. So, Karma Yog can be excellent intervention for managing career and managing life. That is what we are going to discuss. We are also going to discuss Dharana in Vijnanamayakosh. Some practices of Dharana and Dhyan and how they can be used as intervention for managing self and managing career. Anamayakosh is about Dhyan and Samadhi. I can direct some resources where people can know more about it. We will have some discussion but my focus is primarily on the four Koshas because my understanding is and my experience is that if you take care of the four Koshas, fifth one happens. Nature takes us to the fifth level when we focus on previous four Koshas and that is where the interventions can happen. In the Anamayakosh, intervention in my understanding cannot happen. Anamayakosh is to be experienced and then though the intervention is possible if we look at the life stories of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahams, he was experiencing Anamayakosh most of the time but still some intervention was required for him to reach to the even higher level of spiritual awakening but we are not going to discuss much of those things in this course.
