In Praise of Anulom Vilom
The moment you start
Your journey towards Anulom Vilom
Your lungs began to feel
The much awaited feel of that comfort
Which is possible only
In the sweet company of that oxygen
Which gives us the boon of energy.
The new generation of this oxygen
Which get produced
By practicing Anulom Vilom
And which was missing
Till now, in your lungs and body
Would stimulates the mind and heart
To feel the inner joy of oxygen
And the beauty of Yoga

This rejuvenating vital energy.
The sleeping powers of your own body
Would began to come alive
In the awakened stage slowly
Filling every part and organs
Of your God gifted body
With the fresh flow of oxidized blood
Which removes in a phased manner and time
All the toxic elements and ailments slowly
From your tired and exhausted body
And began to fill your body
With the swings of vital energy.
