Sarala Yoga
Sarala Yoga
Background
This simple form of yoga was originally imparted by Shri Krishna to his
childhood friend, Sudama.
As you recall, Sudama went through very tough times after leaving the
gurukula, where he had been studying with Krishna, Balarama, and
others. When he was quite old, he visited Krishna, who granted him a
kingdom and relieved him and his family of all their miseries.
He explained to Krishna that he was too old to get involved into lengthy
and complicated practices. When Krishna asked him about his current
spiritual practice, he answered that he was doing the simple AUMkara
concentration in order to get connected to the Divine as he was taught by
the guru.
Method
Outcome
Sudama practiced this simple yoga regularly and sincerely. He kept
enjoying the turiya state and felt fulfilled with life. At the last moment of
his life, he attained mahasamadhi into Narayana, the Absolute Ground of
Existence.
