Sivananda's Message of the Day for Sunday, June 8, 2008


Always do good to others.  Be selfless.  Mentally remove everything and be free.  This is divine life.  This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.

Why 108 Sun Salutations???

This is from FitSugar.com...

"The 108 salutation practice is named Mala, representing the 108 mala beads (prayer beads). There are many reasons for the Hindu and Buddhist belief in the sacredness of the number 108.

* There were initially 54 sounds in the Sanskrit alphabet: 2 X 54 = 108
* There are 108 Upanishads, which are part of the oldest scriptural texts of Hinduism. They primarily focus on philosophy, meditation, and the nature of God.
* There are 108 names for Hindu deities.
* The distance between the earth and sun is 108 times the diameter of the sun, therefore, the number 108 is taken to represent the "distance" from the devotee to the divine.
* Some say there are 108 feelings: 36 related to the past, 36 related to the present, and 36 related to the future."

Come and join me on June 14 at 7am for a very special 108 Sun Salutation Mala at the new American Family Fitness Short Pump, 11760 West Broad Street, behind Macy's at Short Pump Town Center. Call 364-1200 for more information.
