''Arhatic Yoga'' is the name of a spiritual system developed by Master Choa Kok Sui that claims to safely and rapidly accelerate the evolution of the soul. Arhatic Yoga comes from two words of ''Arhat'', meaning saint or a highly evolved person, and ''Yoga'' which in Sanskrit means union, referring to "to yoke" or "to join." In this case Arhatic Yoga refers to spiritual practices, character-building and meditation techniques that help the person grow and evolve spiritually.〔("Arhatic Yoga" ), ''Prana World'', 2012〕 Arhat is basically a person who through diligent practice and character building has overcome his lower nature. Some of the characteristics of an Arhatic include, a developed intuition, sharp and intelligent mind, refined emotions and powerful will to help mankind. Arhatic Yoga often known as the yoga of synthesis, combines several yogic practices such as Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga into one single practice, which involves purifications and meditations. According to Master Choa Kok Sui, purification is more important than meditation. Without purification if a person starts meditating, there is a tendency for the weaknesses to magnify, making the person worse instead of a better person. Despite having a Sanskrit name, Arhatic Yoga is no-religion and non-sectarian and practitioners from various cultures and backgrounds can practice Arhatic Yoga. Arhatic Yoga is composed of 5 pillar and 5 virtues which encompass the whole body of Arhatic Yoga practices. Arhatic Yoga has 14 levels, starting with the Preparatory Level in which the emphasis is more on purifications and meditations. The higher levels mainly deal with activating the chakras and developing the Golden Body. ==The Purpose of Arhatic Yoga== According to Master Choa Kok Sui, many spiritual aspirants have a misconception of the purpose of spiritual practices. Many people think the purpose is to achieve divine bliss and divine ecstasy. However this motive is selfish. The main purpose of spiritual practices is to accelerate the evolutionary development of the soul so that the person can be of greater service to the mankind and to mother earth. The purpose of Arhatic Yoga as mentioned by Master Choa Kok Sui in his book is therefore "to produce intelligent, compassionate, good hearted, powerful disciples who will become great divine servants." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arhatic yoga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
