Yoga in Sanskrit is ‘Yuj’ which means to unite or to join. During yoga, the body and mind unite to form a single unit, along with the presence of the soul. The whole body acts like one. Yoga in Bhagwad Gita is said to be in equanimity. It is the ability to control and
stay calm in every situation in life. Patanjali has rightly said that yoga refers to the checking of mental impulses. He divided it into eight elements that comprised; Yama, Niyama, Asana, Prayanam, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.
There are prominently three styles- Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga. Of the many different types practiced in the world, two variations- Hatha and Vinyasa are among the most popular. While they share many of the same poses, Hatha and Vinyasa each have a distinct focus and pacing.
Let’s explore five yoga poses for immunity to help your body help itself when the cold and flu season hits hard.

Brahmagupta was the foremost Indian mathematician of his time. He made advances in astronomy and most importantly in number systems including algorithms for square roots and the solution of quadratic equations. He gave remarkable formulae for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral Brahmagupta - area of quadr...
and the lengths of the diagonals in terms of the sides. The only debatable point here is that he does not state that the formulae are only true for cyclic quadrilaterals so some historians claim it to be an error while others claim that he meant the rules to apply only to cyclic
quadrilaterals.He was an Indian mathematician who worked in the 7th century and left (among many other discoveries) a generalization of Heron's formula. It is interesting to note that Heron's formula is an easy consequence of Brahmagupta. To see that suffice it to let one of the
