    How to do biyasana

    12 months ago 523

    In Jainism, "Biyasana" (also spelled "Biyāsan" or "Biyasan") refers to a specific posture or way of sitting, often adopted during meditation or while listening to religious discourses (pravachan). It is an important aspect of Jain spiritual practice, aiming to maintain alertness, discipline, and respect.

    Steps to do Biyasana:

    1. Choose a Clean Place: Select a clean and peaceful place, preferably designated for prayer or meditation.
    1. Asana (Seat): Spread a clean cloth or mat (asana) on the floor. Traditionally, sitting directly on the ground is avoided; a small piece of cloth or mat is used instead.
    1. Sitting Posture:

    - Sit cross-legged (Padmasana or Sukhasana are common). - Keep the back straight and shoulders relaxed. - Place the hands on the knees or in your lap (in Dhyana mudra or Namaskar mudra).

    1. Eyes and Focus: Keep the eyes gently closed or focused downward. The mind should be calm and focused.
    1. Breathing: Breathe naturally, maintaining awareness of each breath.
    1. Silence and Stillness: Remain silent, avoid unnecessary movements, and maintain a meditative or attentive state.
    1. End with Prayer: After completing your meditation, prayer, or listening to discourse, conclude with a short prayer or expression of gratitude.

    Purpose of Biyasana:

    • To promote concentration and discipline.
    • To show respect for the teachings and the teacher.
    • To aid in self-control and spiritual progress.

    Note: Biyasana is not a complicated yoga posture but rather a disciplined, respectful way of sitting that supports spiritual activities in Jainism.
