Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I see this term crop up in the Chandi. Could it be the yoga of recitation of Vedic Scriptures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I've been wondering the same thing. I asked a person who teaches it and even though it's was described as 'yoga for your type' I still was left vague about it. I'm with you. I would like to know too. Namaste.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Viniyoga is the name used by Desikachar the son of Krishnamacharyan who was also the teacher of Iyengar. Desikachar and some of his students and their students use this to describe their type of hatha yoga which often involves the use of vinyasas or several positions linked together. They try to link the asanas with the breath and work to adapt the performance of the asana to the student's level. While some teacchers include some chanting, in general this emphasizes the physical aspects of yoga. Deiskachar is quite adamant about not wanting to have it linked with Hinduism in the West. I am not sure if this is what your teacher was referring to, but this is my experience with the term in the West. It is of course much older.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Namaste, Viniyoga means "prescription". The Cologne Sanskrit Lexicon says it can mean, "apportionment, employment, use, application (esp. of a verse in ritual)" Monier-Williams states it can mean "to expand (esp. for religious purposes)." When you conclude the "prescribed use" section of your mantric invocations, the Viniyoga is a dedication and closure to send off the energy you do the mantras with.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 We see this in almost all Pooja books of Devi Mandir. We hold japa-mala, say " ... jape viniyogah ...", purify the Japa Mala (rosary) and finally we chant 108 times name of the deity we are praying. Ref: chandi path. You will find word to word translation of Viniyoga. I hope it helps ... DilipJesse Arana <jessearana (AT) comcast (DOT) net> wrote: Namaste, Viniyoga means "prescription".
