My asana for today which I have choosen is

Vajarasana.
Vajarasana also known as thunderbolt pose is
both relaxation and meditative asana having
calming effects on mind and body. It is so
simple that even beginners can do It.
The sanskirt names vajarasana comes from two
words vajra means thunderbolt and asana
means posture. Vajra is the name of lord indras
weapon and is also known as diamond asana.
Major nerve in the body is also named as Vajra
Nadi and is also connected to mula dhar chakra
which controls the sexual energy. Practicing this
asana for more duration of time helps to
control sexual energy.
Vajarasana can be done immediately after
meals. This is the only asana which can be done
after lunch or dinner. It makes the digestion
process faster , it helps in getting rid of
