Dhruv Tapasya

This is about ancient Hindu Mythology.

Once I saw in a movie, anout how steadfastly Dhruv did Tapasya to win heart of God.

He stood for one month with his hands joined at chest.

Then for another one month he stood only on one leg.

All the time he kept chanting name of God.


The point is, Tapasya is needed to invoke powers of the Divine. You have to be steady and still for months on one issue. 

It does not involve only mind work. It also involves a task for your body. When your mind is concentrating on something, the body should not be lax. It shopd also be in A DISCIPLINED POSTURE.

Ability to keep one's body in a disciplined posture, is a great exercise in self disciple.
