Yоga Routine The Awakening of Arjuna

 The Awakening of Arjuna


 Arjuna was born into the New day curled small in Child’s Pose, resting in innocence.
Slowly, he rose, arching into Cow Pose, then rounding into Cat Pose — awakening his spine, his breath, his body.
  Arjuna stood tall in Mountain Pose, steady as the Himalayas themselves.
  He opened his eyes to the dawn. Outside his window stood a noble Tree Pose, reaching into the sky.
High upon its branches perched an Eagle Pose, watchful, patient.
  He lowered into Chair Pose, taking pen and parchment, writing words of love to his family.
  Then he bent forward into Half Forward Bend, touching the earth in reverence.
Mounting his horse — Chair Pose again — he began his ride to destiny.
  Along the road, a Pyramid Pose rose before him, shimmering and unreal.
  As he drew closer, it dissolved into the horizon, melting into Wide-Legged Forward Bend.
Finally, he reached the battlefield. With a deep breath, he spread into Triangle Pose,
then anchored low in Extended Side Angle Pose — ready to fight, ready to defend Dharma.

;; Day One of Battle:
Before the clash, he greeted his faithful companions:
Downward Dog, ever loyal; Puppy Pose, playful and trusting.
He crouched into Sprinter’s Pose, one knee drawn forward, the ground trembling beneath him.
He lifted into Low Lunge Pose, gaze fixed on the horizon — and the first battle began.
Arjuna surged into Warrior I, charging the enemy lines with ferocity.
He shifted into Warrior II, holding steady as arrows flew past.
An enemy struck down his brother’s shield —
Arjuna rose into Reverse Warrior, sweeping his sword to protect him.
In the chaos, he leapt forward, balancing in Warrior III, body a straight line of speed and purpose.
Then he turned, twisting into Revolved Side Angle Pose, defending against an attack at his flank.
The battle raged until the sun fell.
That night, weary and torn, Arjuna folded through Chaturanga and Upward facing Dog into Child’s Pose and slept like a baby.
At dawn, he awoke to a baby cobra and its mother passing by. He bowed to them in Cobra Pose,
and lifted higher into Upward-Facing Dog, stretching into the morning.

;; Day Two of Battle::
He greeted the dogs again — Downward Dog, Puppy Pose —
then crouched into Sprinter’s Pose, breath sharp,
and lifted into Low Lunge Pose, heart steady.
He entered the fray once more.
Arjuna saw his friend surrounded, weakened and wounded.
He stepped into Warrior II, creating a shield with his very stance.
The enemy pressed harder — Arjuna lifted into Reverse Warrior, striking with fierce grace.
But then, one foe slipped past —
Arjuna flew into Warrior III, cutting across the battlefield to protect his friend.
He landed, twisting into Revolved Side Angle Pose, parrying the attack meant for his brother-in-arms.
The sun burned high. Dust filled the sky.
The clang of iron was endless.
And still, Arjuna did not falter.
At dusk, he collapsed through Chaturanga and Upward facing Dog  into Child’s Pose once more.
At dawn, the cobras slid past again, reminding him of renewal and patience.

;; Day Three of Battle ::
With dogs by his side — Downward Dog, Puppy Pose —
Arjuna bent low in Sprinter’s Pose,
rose into Low Lunge Pose, and entered the war again.
This day the enemy came strong, pressing from both sides.
Arjuna raised his arms in Warrior I, planting his courage deep into the ground.
When arrows came from behind, he twisted to the side in Warrior II,
eyes fierce, stance unbroken.
One warrior struck from above — Arjuna bent back into Reverse Warrior,
deflecting the strike like lightning.
He rushed forward in Warrior III, his blade a streak across the battlefield,
then turned into Revolved Side Angle Pose,
catching an enemy who sought to end him from the shadows.
This day was fire and blood.
When night came, Arjuna crumbled through Chaturanga and Upward facing Dog into Child’s Pose,
seeking refuge in silence.
Again, at dawn, the cobras slithered past, and he rose with them.

;; Day Four of Battle::
The cycle repeated:
Downward Dog, Puppy Pose,
then Sprinter’s Pose,
then Low Lunge Pose —
and into battle again.
The enemy advanced in numbers greater than before.
Arjuna braced in Warrior II, defending ground that could not be lost.
Beside him, a young soldier faltered — Arjuna reached back in Reverse Warrior,
covering his ally with his shield.
When the enemy surged again, he rushed forward in Warrior I,
meeting their force head-on.
He soared into Warrior III,
and then turned into Revolved Side Angle Pose, cutting down those who broke through the line.
It was a day of defense, of endurance, of holding the ground no matter the cost.
When night fell, he collapsed through Chaturanga and Upward facing Dog  into Child’s Pose through Chaturanga and Upward facing Dog,
dreaming of peace.
The cobras returned with the morning sun,
whispering renewal.

;; Day Five of Battle::
With his companions — Downward Dog, Puppy Pose —
Arjuna knelt into Sprinter’s Pose,
rose into Low Lunge Pose,
and faced the battlefield for the last time.
The enemy charged with everything they had left.
Arjuna rose in Warrior I, unstoppable.
He spread wide into Warrior II, cutting down their lines.
He struck with grace in Reverse Warrior, the arc of his sword like a flame in the dusk.
He flew across the plain in Warrior III, uncatchable, unbreakable.
And at last, he twisted into Revolved Side Angle Pose,
bringing the final foe to the ground.
The battle was over.
Dharma prevailed.
Peace returned.
Arjuna fell into Child’s Pose, tears mixing with the soil.
The cobras passed one last dawn, as if bowing to him.

;: The Garden Chapter ::
Arjuna returned home at last.
In his garden, life welcomed him.
He saw a lizard dart across a stone (Lizard Pose).
A pigeon cooed from the tree (Pigeon Pose, King Pigeon Pose).
A frog leapt by the pond (Frog Pose).
A cow stood peacefully in the meadow (Cow Face Pose).
A locust hummed (Locust Pose),
and a peacock spread its radiant feathers (Peacock Pose).
His family gathered.
They wrapped him in their arms, embracing him with love (Hug Pose).

;: Eternal Rest ::
Surrounded by animals, nature, and family, Arjuna lay down.
He stretched his body upon the ground in stillness.
In Corpse Pose (Savasana), he released his last breath —
not in loneliness, but encircled by love,
returning to eternity,
one with the divine.
