Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hare Rama Krsna Dear Visti and Nandan! According to Patanjali there are 8 angas or Organs of Yoga and hence the name Astanga Yoga. The Organs are 1. Yama 2. Niyama 3. Asana 4. Pranayam 5. Pratyahara 5. Dharana 6. Dhyana 7. Samadhi Yama and Niyama (the DOs and Don'ts) are infact the most important as they build the foundation. Without them progressing a single step forward is next to impossible. A true sadhu follows the yama and niyama spontaneously, however for a ordinary mortal, practicing them with a discipine becomes very important. More in my next mail.
