Today is the beginning of Lent
The word lent comes Latin meaning spring or even more ancient to grow longer
It is the beginning of spring and the days go longer
Christians practice lent by fasting in one way or the other. Later the practice became giving up a few items , generally food for 40 days
The real number was perhaps 36 days and it is done till Easter
The number 36 or the word Easter is not random. They have a yogic significance. Jesus also had fasted for 40 days in his life
In a public blog many things are not revealed
For example in yoga sutras it is mentioned sayama prapti is the first step in yoga. It refers to doing dharna, dhayana and samadhi all 3 at the same time !!!
How is it possible to understand it ?
