The word "anusara" originates from a line in the Tantric text called the Kularnava Tantra, "shaktipata-anusarena shishyonugraham arhati", which means: by entering the current of Divine Shakti's descent into the heart, the true disciple becomes capable of receiving grace. Anusara literally means to be in the flow. It is the current of the Divine, to flow with Grace. The philosophical basis of Anusara, as elucidated by Dr. Douglas Brooks, is called Rajanaka Yoga.

		fancy february, virayogis. it's our 3-year anniversary on february 9th and we are ever grateful to each of you. presenting a brief overview of our recent months' messages, so we can move into 2005 with a common understanding. attention: creating a correspondence with ourSELVES predicated on compassion and clarity how to pay attention: breathing slowly patiently [even when your body is reeling and wanting to burst and/or crumble] + listening attentively carefully [even when you're presented with a seemingly unbearable voice/noise/idea] + sitting consistently lovingly [even when the sink is full of dishes, there are 5 voicemails waiting and you MUST check your email] + communicating carefully [even when you're positively shaking with urgency] ultimately we bring these outer practices inside until STILLNESS and CARING infuse everything we offer in the world. namaste elena, lynn and the staff of virayoga
