Is Yoga Similar to the Call to Prayer?
I love being in Muslim countires and hearing the call to prayer five times a day.
Istanbul is special in its mix of cultures and religions compared to other muslim-influenced countries.
Whatever your beliefs, the call to prayer is a beautiful reminder of pausing, listening and remembering we are all part of something greater than ourselves.
The Muezzin (singers) at the famous Blue mosque in Istanbul were especially beautful and one can hear at least 2 different calls~ almost like a round~an angelic sound to our ears.
Yoga can be our way of remembering to bow in reverence. To pause and take time to be, to listen and to pray. Yoga is not so far away from taking time out for the Call to prayer.....
We must remember to take time out from our busy lives and practice Yoga - union with self.
