Diya Yoga
APPO DEEPO BHAVA
(Be a light unto yourself.)
When Buddha was dying, his last utterance in this world was,'APPO DEEPO BHAVA' -- 'Be a light unto yourself.' Don't follow anybody. Anand was crying, weeping because Buddha was leaving the body and he said to Buddha,'You are leaving and I have not yet become enlightened. What about me? What will happen to me? The world will be absolutely dark for me -- you were the light. And now you are going. Have compassion on us.' Buddha opened his eyes and said,'APPO DEEPO BHAVA. Be a light unto yourself, Anand, nobody can be a light for you.'
DIYA YOGA's motto is "appo deepo bhava". It's about supporting one's own inner strength and creativity and life source light. We always need teachers to guide us on path, but in the end we walk alone on our path. Diya yoga gives many tools to be on the path. We are dedicated to look in individual personality and work accordingly, we are all same and still we all have different ways, for some people sitting silent is meditations, may be for others dancing is necessary. We all have same goal, Inner peace, and Diya yoga is about finding your way to your own light thru different techniques e.g. asana, meditation(active or inactive), yoga Nidra, tantra, Yogic philosophy, taichi, or ayurveda. Supporting individual uniqueness and giving information and practice on different topics.
