Yoga Asanas And Its Benefits

 Yoga Asanas And Its Benefits

                                                                  The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man & Nature. 

Modern yoga is most commonly associated with the physical practice of asana, a series of postures often weaved together in styles such as Vinyasa Flow or Ashtanga. Asana practice is generally intended to build strength and stamina, to improve flexibility, coordination and balance, and to relax the body. However, this provides only one small aspect of the tradition of yoga as a whole.

Conclusion

The purpose of Yoga is to create harmony in the physical, vital, mental, psychological and spiritual aspects of the human being. In the foregoing pages of this book, I have described the Technique of relaxation in different postures viz., standing, lying and sitting postures which brings in this harmony. Yoga is not mere practice for an hour or two in a day but it is the most scientific way of living, all the twenty-four hours of the day. During the whole day you may be only in one of these three postures and hence a skillful adjustment in them will effect the required harmony. "Yogasthah Kuru Karmani- Be established in Yoga and do all your duties." "Yogah karmasu Kausalam-Yoga is skill in action." Skill here means to be in tune with the nature of the Supreme Reality. 

Cryptocurrency : New Generation Future

 Cryptocurrency : New Generation Future

A Cryptocurrency is a digital designed to work as a medium of exchange through a computer network that is not reliant on any central authority , such as a Government or bank , to uphold or maintain it . 

Cryptocurrencies are digital token - not coin or cash - but digital money which allow people to make payments directly to each other through an online system set up to allow peer- to - peer transactions without needing a bank.

Cryptocurrency does not exist in Physical form (like paper money) and is not issued by a central authority. A Cryptocurrency is a tradable digital asset or digital form of money , built on blockchain technology that only exist online. Cryptocurrencies use encryption to authenticate and protect transactions, hence their name. There are currently over a thousand different cryptocurrencies in the world.

Bitcoin , first released as open source software in 2009, is the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Since the release of Bitcoin , many other cryptocurrencies have been created. 

Different Types of Cryptocurrencies

There are only 3 broad types of Cryptocurrencies currently in existence. These are -

• Bitcoin
• Altcoins
• Tokens

Bitcoin

It is the first cryptocurrency that was ever introduced and is considered the " Digital Gold " A unit of Bitcoin can be broken down into Satoshis , which is equivalent to the relationship of rupees and paise .

1 Bitcoin = 29,41,211 Indian Rupee (Varies time to time)

Bitcoin is open source ; its design is public , nobody owns or control Bitcoin  and everyone can take part. Bitcoin have some unique properties like

• Fast peer-to-peer transaction

• Worldwide Payment

• Low processing fees

 

Altcoins

Altcoin is a combination of the two words " Alternative " and " coin " and includes all alternatives to Bitcoin. The competing cryptocurrencies that were created as a result of Bitcoin success are known as Altcoin. Some of the well known Altcoin are as follows:

• Litecoin
• Peercoin
• Namecoin
• Ethereum
• Cardana

Tokens

• Crypto tokens are a type of cryptocurrency that represents an asset or specific use and reside on their own blockchain.

• Tokens can be used for investment purposes, to store value, or to make purchases.

• Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies used to facilitate transactions (making and receiving payments) along the blockchain.

• Altcoins and crypto tokens are types of cryptocurrencies with different functions.

• Created through an initial coin offering, crypto tokens are often used to raise funds for crowd sales.

 

Advantages and disadvantages of Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has the following Advantages :

• Funds transfer between two parties will be easy without the need of third party like credit/debit cards or banks

• It is a cheaper alternative compared to other online transactions

• Payments are safe and secured and offer an unprecedented level of anonymity

• Modern cryptocurrency systems come with a user “wallet” or account address which is accessible only by a public key and pirate key. The private key is only know to the owner of the wallet

• Funds transfer are completed with minimal processing fees.

Cryptocurrencies have the following Disadvantages :

• The almost hidden nature of cryptocurrency transactions makes them easy to be the focus of illegal activities such as money laundering, tax-evasion and possibly even terror-financing

• Payments are not irreversible

• Cryptocurrencies are not accepted everywhere and have limited value elsewhere

• There is concern that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not rooted in any material goods. Some research, however, has identified that the cost of producing a Bitcoin, which requires an increasingly large amount of energy, is directly related to its market price.

Conclusion

                            Cryptocurrencies present an optimistic future for not only India but the whole world. Regulation of cryptocurrency is inevitable and should be supported. But despite its speculative nature and public rumors, 3 predictions can be made on the basis of the current scenario in India: cryptocurrencies We will see more use, more misuse, and more rules in the future. One must be informed and cautious before investing. 

Russia - Ukraine Conflict

Russia - Ukraine Conflict Background

In 2014 Ukraine faced the great threat to its national security since the collapse of the Soviet Union , of which it had been part for most of the 20th century.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is an ongoing Geopolitical and International issue and military standoff between Russia and Ukraine that began in February 2014 as part of an offshoot of the Revolution of Dignity or the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution and the removal of Russian-leaning Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych on 22 February 2014.

However, the issue centers specifically on the status of Crimea, a strategically important peninsula along the northern coast of the Black Sea in Eastern Europe, and Donbas, a region in south-eastern Ukraine.
