Gorkha is a Sanskrit word meaning “one who practices self-awareness.” This practice, also known as raja yoga, is basically the practice of being present, one with each moment. Gorkha is the ancient practice of taking time to focus all one’s attention on the present moment.
In the video above, director Pankaj Mishra is demonstrating the techniques of raja yoga to a group of young Indian boys. It’s a very good way to take your mind off of the everyday stresses of our lives and get a break from the everyday things that cause us to be stressed.
For those of you who might not know, raja yoga is the practice of focussing attention on the present moment. Usually done in a class where you’re seated, raja yoga focuses the mind on the present moment and on the breath. When you’re practising, you’re also supposed to sit in a straight line, with your legs and feet together, and your head, chest, arms, and shoulders at the same level.
I have a feeling that the way that raja yoga is taught is a little different from the way most people do yoga. The only way I know for sure is that most of the classes I attend are taught by a man named Jeevan Das. You may know Das from his movies, but a lot of his best yoga videos are his own creation, with his name and the sound of the practice as titles.
Jeevan Das is a yogi who lives in Delhi, India. He has an extremely long list of yoga teachers he’s worked with, but the man has had a profound influence on his own style of yoga. It’s a style that’s similar to raja yoga, but it’s done in such a way that it’s very difficult to find a teacher who will teach raja yoga.
If you look hard, you’ll find that many of the instructors in the video are actually men, but most of the instructors here are actually women. It’s not that women are not good teachers, just that the men are more likely to be doing yoga or to do yoga. Their yoga instructor is also really awesome at it.
The reason why you can’t do yoga in the video is quite simple. Even one of the instructors on the video is actually one of the most beautiful women in this video. The videos aren’t about yoga or yoga, but yoga. If you’re going to use your own language, you’ll have to speak it. If you’re going to use your language, you should have to speak it.
The video is about a man who’s a good teacher. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the concept but I’m guessing it’s about a man who’s a good teacher. He’s a great teacher. He’s not only the best teacher, he also the best he can achieve. He’s a great guy.
And the person you’re talking about is a good guy. Well, he is.
The last sentence tells you that he is a great guy, but there are three others who are also great guys who have taught him that the best teacher is the person who can teach the best. There are two of them, and one of them is the guy named gorkha. This guy doesnt teach gorkha class, but he is the one who taught him yoga. Thats what this video is really about.
