      Caroline Barnes Well, I'm glad you didn't lose the whole thing. I'm afraid all that technical jargon is a foreign language to me!

      Michael Beloved Html is the basic language of computers, the simplest thing they read. Each web page has html with or without other languages. Computers read that and then show the page but it does so in split seconds. A docx or doc file is what Microsoft Word creates as an editable file. That is what replaced the type written page from the mechanical typewriter era. Hyperlinks is like when you click on some text or an image, and it jumps to some other place in the same site or to another different site.
      While in print books (physical products), the index is based on finding page numbers to selected topics, in eBooks ( digital products) the index is based on location of the topic, so that there are not page numbers. When you click on an index topic, it jumps to where that topic is in the file instantly. That jumps occurs because of the index entry being hyperlinked or automatically tied to another location in the file.

      Michael Beloved A simple explanation of html (hypertext markup language) is that for a computer to produce something like this:

      Yoga is anybody’s guess.
      Yoga will be the cause of World War 3

      It has to be given this below, where the enclosed p code tells it to begin one paragraph after seeing <p> and to close that paragraph just before seeing </p>

      <p>Yoga is anybody’s guess.</p><p>Yoga will be the cause of World War 3<p>

      The inventor of html is at the following link:

      Dr Sujata Vaidya It is time the world woke up to the fact that Yogasana...... and Yog (yoga for the foreign tougue) not to be put in the same context at all. Yogasana is a part of the Ashtanga (eight limbs/sections) of Yog principle.

      Sandrine Lubrano Di Ciccone Beautiful article, I often think of this concept of vairagya, but in practice, in everyday life if I am honnest, detachment often running far away from me, and I often say to myself :"but where is my yoga? Where does he disappear?" sometimes things which happen are so sudden, in this case I feel far from perfection☺, but sometimes I feel also so connected to my Self that detachment is a part of me, I am able to accept what arrive or not, even if it's not what I had expected. But it's not easy everyday, the questions you are asking to yourself in the commentaries are what I am asking to myself at each moment when difficulties arise. Your article is interesting for that, always be able to ask about ourselves. Beautiful day to you.

      Yogarishi Deolal Mahabir Very enjoyable string. @Michael Bhai, I just remember to my self, provoked by your article, that vairagya and abhyasa goes along together. Something you mentioned also reminded me that to the Yogis this world is and illusion and to the worldly people steeped in maya, things like Atma etc. (including the old fashion word 'god') is and illusion. @Dr. Vaidya, I am also wrestling with what to call the yoga of the ancient that Vyasa in his commentary on Patanjali refers to as samadhi. Knowing Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) I have learned to be content with who has arrived at the samadhi science and who is yet to discover 'real yoga' and also accept those who can only arrive at Bhoga.
