Right Sequence or Order - Asana Pranayama Meditation

What should be done first Asana, Pranayama or Meditation? What is the right sequence?

After asanas, pranayama should be practised to purify the nadis. For this purpose nadi shodhana (nadi purification) pranayama is best. Then mudras should be performed to channelize the energy and create specific attitudes of mind, and bandhas to force the energy upward. In hatha yoga the sequence is - Asanas first, then Pranayama, Mudras and Bandhas. Lastly one should sit quietly in a meditative pose.

So the right order or sequence is Asana --> Pranayama --> Meditation.

Practise The Three Kinds Of Tapas

Practise Ahimsa and Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed. Practise Saucha and Arjava (straight forwardness). Try to keep up balanced mind. Be cheerful always. Keep up Shuddha Bhava. Try these three kinds of Tapas (physical, verbal and mental) and control your actions.

Be careful in your speeches. Speak little. Speak sweet loving words. Never utter any word of harshness that can affect the feelings of others. Try to speak the truth. Thus put a check on the Vak Indriya and the impulses of speech.

Kill the evil thought with the sword of Viveka when it tries to enter the fort of the mind.Thus you can build a noble character.

From "Light, Power, and Wisdom" by Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, India

It is the oldest system of personal development in the world, encompassing the entire body, mind and spirit. It is the union between a person’s own consciousness and the universal consciousness.
