Marking-scheme solution
Yoga is considered as an effective tool for development of personality of children. Yoga acts on all five koshas (sheaths) surrounding the self.
1. Asanas are the tools which mainly influence Annamaya kosha by bringing flexibility, relaxation, toning, strength, balance and general fitness.
2. Various researches have revealed that at the Pranamaya kosha or the subtle energy level, pranayama restores harmony to the flow of prana (vital force) by removing blocks and imbalances.
3. Manomaya kosha works at two levels, the level of mind and the level of emotion. At the Mental level, dharna, dhyana and smadhi facilitate channelization of thoughts and then focus on a single thought leading to the state of super consciousness. At the Emotional level, Bhakti Yoga is good for culturing emotion. It gives emotion the right direction for growth. By devotional practices, negative, harsh and violent emotions can be replaced with the positive, soft and gentle emotions. Thus, Dhyan and Bhakti Yoga facilitate the mental and emotional development of the children. Dhyana and Jnana Yoga are helpful to reach the level of higher buddhi.
4.Good intellect, intuition, wisdom, higher knowledge and psychic abilities shine out from the innermost sheath (Vijnaymaya kosha/Anandmaya kosha). Love, compassion, joy, accomplishment and mutually fulfilling relationships get evolved from the crude level to a more refined level.
5. With the practice of Ashtanga Yog child can develop overall personality (physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual).
