	Niyama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Niyamas are codified as "the observances" in numerous scriptures including the Shandilya and Varuha Upanishads, Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Gorakshanatha, the Tirumantiram of Tirumular and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
		In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Niyamas are the second limb of the eight limbs of Raja Yoga.

		Like the five yamas, the niyamas are not exercises or actions to be simply studied.
		In the context of the niyama the term is often translated as "the study of ancient texts." Yes, yoga does instruct us to read the ancient texts because we cannot always just sit down and contemplate things.
		In the context of the niyamas we can define Isvarapranidhana as the attitude of a person who usually offers the fruits of his or her action to God in daily prayer.

	Meditation the Ashtanga Yoga Way
		Niyama is thus the pro-active side of yama.
		The niyama aspect of ahimsa is more pro-active, which is to say our most productive attitude is to alleviate harm, to remove suffering, to heal others and self, to honor, acknowledge, respect, nurture, and magnify life.
		The niyamas are sauca (cleanliness or purity of body, mind, and speech), santosha (contentment), tapas (self discipline and ability to focus with spiritual intent), swadhyaya (self study), and isvara-pranidhana (loving and surrendering to God or truth above all else).

	Was the Tsunami Caused by Karma? - A Buddhist View
		Niyama is a Pali term (language of early Buddhism) for cosmic order.
		Although Buddhism teaches that Kamma is the chief cause of the inequalities in the world yet it does not teach fatalism or the doctrine of predestination, for it does not hold the view that everything is due to past actions.
		The law of causes described in Buddhist philosophy is one of the five orders (Niyamas) which are laws in themselves and operate in the universe.

		Of the many aspects of yoga which fascinate me, the correlation between the eight limbs of yoga (as described in the second chapter of the Patanjali's Yoga Sutra) and the attitude to the postures always strikes me as being the most significant.

	ATMA JYOTI ASHRAM - Foundations of Yoga
		Yama and Niyama are often called "the Ten Commandments of Yoga." Each one of these Five Don'ts (Yama) and Five Do's (Niyama) is a supporting, liberating Pillar of Yoga.
		These ten restraints (yama) and observances (niyama) are not optional for the aspiring yogi-or for the most advanced yogi, either.
		But at the same time, the practice of yoga helps the aspiring yogi to follow the necessary ways of yama and niyama, so he should not be discouraged from taking up yoga right now, thinking that he should wait till he is "ready" or has "cleaned up his act" to practice yoga.

	The Niyama
		In one Sutta this niyama is referred to as 'the establishing, the fixity of things as effects'(Dhammatthitata Dhammaniyamata): 'Because of ignorance comes kamma: now whether, O bhikkhus, Tathagatas arise, or whether they do not arise, this element (dhatu) stands, namely, the establishment of Dhamma as effects, the fixity of Dhamma as effects.
		But in the classification of niyama, the individual names are used for the first four so as to particularize and make distinction from the rest of things, mentals and materials, which are conveniently treated under one common name of 'Dhamma'.
		When it is required to treat 'utu' as niyama, one should not call it a 'Dhamma-niyama' though it (utu) is really a Dhamma, but must use the appropriate and individual name and call it an utu-niyama.

	The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
		Most translators translates niyama as “observances.” It could also be seen as “cultivations.” Coupled with the yama, niyama is likened to the Ten Commandments or ethical precepts.
		If Hatha Yoga is used as a metaphor, the yama would be the “ha” and niyama would be the “tha.” “Ha” meaning “sun” is the active or doing portion and “tha” meaning “moon” is the being aspect of that form of Yoga.
		It is very difficult to let go of these timeworn beliefs that have shaped whom we are for decades, many of which were formed before we developed our language skills and some are based on century old beliefs from our lineage.

	Ashtanga Yoga Background
		The first two steps toward controlling the mind are the perfection of yama and niyama (Jois 2003 10).
		However, it is "not possible to practice the limbs and sub-limbs of yama and niyama when the body and sense organs are weak and haunted by obstacles" (Jois 2002 17).
		Without an earnest effort and reverence towards the practice of yama and niyama, however, the practice of asana is of little benefit (Flynn).

	Ashtanga Yoga
		There are eight parts of this practice and since its goal is union (yoga) with the Cosmic Consciousness, it is also known as Astaunga or Ashtanga yoga, or eight-limbed yoga.
		In his book A Guide to Human Conduct, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti has clearly explained the different aspects of Yama and Niyama, giving an interpretation that is clear and also practical for people in the 20th Century.
		It is an important part of spiritual practice, because if one is always preoccupied with physical objects, then he or she can not think about the Cosmic Consciousness.
