The following is one such Sankeertana
( A magnificent Sanskrit one ) where in the intriguing combinations of Lord's Yoga tattwam and Bhoga Tattwam are woven quite mesmerizingly....

Ksheerasaagara tanaya, Shree MahaaLakshmi's husband, the saarasa yogi of ShreeVenkaTagiri, enacts the roles of being a Yogi and Bhogi so very well that
He approaches the Bali Chakravarthi as an innocent 8 year old Brahmin boy and seeks 3 foot land as alms and then captures the entire Universe by taking his Trivikramaavataaram.....So look at his Bhoga tattwam carved out of his Yoga tattwam.
He is saluted by the AadiYogi Shree Parameshwara by considering him as a ParipoorNaYogi...
Let's discuss some of the interesting Yogic aspects of Paramaatma by taking examples from this worldly creatures...
The generic meaning of Yogi and Bhogi are
Yogi = One who practices renunciation.
Bhogi = One who enjoys everything.
So they are literally two quite contradicting aspects of Adhyaatma Tattwam. Having gained mastery over both these tattwams he is extolled as ParipoorNayogi.....
In the spiritual context when Lord is referred to as Yogi and Bhogi they are to be understood as.
Yogi = One who has secluded his existence and is beyond the reach of any worldly realms.
Bhogi = One who is present everywhere and is very much accessible to every entity of this world.
And when he is called both a Yogi and Bhogi, it implies that he can play both the roles so very well so that he remains a Bhogi for those who respect and worship him earnestly and a Yogi for those who barely care for him and his existence.....
And thus the ShreeVenkaTeshwara suprabhaatam rightly extolls the Lord saying " "BhaktaBhogya " in the below verse...
28.Lakshmi Nivaasa niravadya gunaika sindho
Samsara saagara samuttaranaika saytho
Vedanta vedya nijavaibhava bhakta bhogya
Sri Venkatachalapate tava suprabhatam.
Meaning : O Lord the abode of Lakhmi, the ocean of good qualities, the only boat to cross the ocean of Samsara, the true knowledge sought by Vedanta (Upanishads), the lord of ture glory enjoyed by devotees, glory to you....
There are various forms of Yogic Practices that enable a devotee to bind that parattatwam to him and his wordly realms so that Lord and his magnanimity is always established in his / her perceivable human realm itself....
Of them a few well know Yogic Styles are as below.
1. AbhragaShaili
2. AjagaraShaili
3. ShreeShaili
4. VyaaghraShaili
5. UshTraShaili
Let's discuss the YogaTattwam embedded in the BhogaTattwam of the above mentioned well known worldly styles...
1. AbhragaShaili : The Style of a Bird.
It derives it's food from the world around us just like any other living being but it can enjoy that fetched food by carrying it to as much higher altitudes as it can without being disturbed by anyone.
Similarly a Yogic practice where in externally the Saadhaka is very much in tune to the regular world around us in finding and collecting his paratattwa padaartham ( i.e., finding the divine consciousness spread around ) however internally he elevates himself to various higher altitudes as per his spiritual strength to savour that parattwaanubhavam without getting affected by anything or anyone and thus the AbhragaShaili is one of the most celebrated Yogic Styles to attain "ParamaatmaDhyaanaanusandhaayaka janita Adhyaatmaanandaanubhavasthithi....."
2. AjagaraShaili : The Style of a Python.
A python doesn't venture out much actively like a bird and stays pretty much reserved and secluded. However it remains so focussed that if any prey comes it's way in no time it will pounce on it to gulp it in and coils itself so strongly to an available near by tree branch or a rock so that the gulped in prey gets crushed in to pieces in no time with its extremely powerful spiralling strength so that it gets digested right away....
In this way the rate of absorption is so fast that in no time the python can start focusing on another prey....
Similarly a Yogic practice where in externally the Saadhaka may not look very much active venturing out here and there to find and collect the Paratattwa padaartham how ever internally they are so sharply focussed that should they find any paratattwa padaartham in their vicinity they make it their's in no time with their extremely powerful inherent spiritual strength by deriving it from the support of any available worldly means around and thus the AjagaraShaili is one of the most celebrated silently significant Yogic styles....
3. ShreeShaili : The style of a Spider.
Going by it's physical appearance a spider looks like any other normal insect lurking around. However as many would be aware of, it's intelligence, highly skilful and dexterous styles of catching it's prey are always quite intriguing....
Wherever they are located, they start spinning up the cobwebs which are exceptionally perfect geometric structures with almost zero error..!
Have you ever observed the perfect Triangular, rectangular, quadragonal pentagonal, hexagonal, septagonal, octagonal, nanogonal cobwebs based on the types of species/classification a spider belongs to and it's intelligence in being seated in it's web and waiting for it's prey..
Once the entire weaving gets completed, the spider would stay in some corner as if it is doing Yoga by silently chanting HareRamaHareRama HareKrishnaHareKrishna...
But it remains so vigilant that should any fly/insect get trapped in it's web in no time it will rush towards it to inject it's venom to completely ground the prey and once it assures itself that the prey caught in the web is pretty much inactive then it will consume it in pieces at its peace and pace...
In this whole process its quite astonishing to see that neither the woven web that is completely visible only in certain angles gets disturbed nor the spider slips by even an mm and if required the spider would simply retract the entire woven web in to it or it can simply ignore it and start weaving another one elsewhere...
Similarly a Yogic practice where in externally the Saadhaka might look like engrossed in himself / herself however in their vicinity where in they can exercise their spiritual power to create a MantraShakti valayam to attract and consume the paratattwa padaartham,
they are so vigilant that in no time the attracted paratattwa padaartham with their MantraShakti will be absorbed in to them and the surroundings will be as if nothing has really happened there...
Thus the ShreeShaili is one of the most powerful nomadic styles of AdhyaatmaSaadhana embraced by almost all kinds of Saadhaka in the world around us because of its simplicity yet highly significant nature....
4. VyaaghraShaili : The Style of a Tiger.
When hungry it never leaves it's focussed target and when not hungry it doesn't care much. This pretty much defines the Tiger's hunting style...
Similarly a Yogic practice where in externally a Saadhaka would resort to rigorous Adhyaatma Saadhana / practices to obtain the Paratattwa Padaartham when they feel it is required and during other times they simply rest in themselves...
All the high magnitude Saadhaka groups like the Aghoris, NaagaSaadhus, belonging to various AkhaaDaas fall in to this category....
When it's KumbhMela time they travel hundreds of miles bare footed to reach the Gangaa Godaavari shores to absorb the high magnitude paratattwa padaardham present in the Holy waters during the Mela Time and during other times they rest in themselves in the Himalayan caves or elsewhere secluded..
5. UshTraShaili : The style of a Camel.
Everyone knows how great a camel is when it comes to consuming large quantities of water at once when available and be able to live with that reserve for several days in it's long travels across the deserts...
Similarly a Yogic practice where in a Saadhaka elevates himself so very well that he behaves almost like a glutton when the paratattwa padaardham is found in their way to consume it sufficiently in surplus and live with it for long times until the next such occurrence takes place...
This style of Aadhyaatmika saadhana is applicable for all the devotees who visit all the magnanimous holy Shrines, water bodies ( Theerthaalu) etc to savour the paratattwam in there until they visit them again...
Irrespective of the Yogic Practice and the various spiritual paths followed by the saadhaka lokam, the goal for everyone remains one and the same that is to derive the Adhyaatmaanandaanubhooti by being blessed by the almighty profusely for all our efforts put in to secure the Lord's grace....
And thus Shree ChaaganTi sadguruvugaaru preached the below verse many times to describe the very essence of any spiritual practice..
" Yogarathovaa Bhogarathovaa.
Sangarathovaa Sangaviheenaha...
YasyatiBrahmaNi ramataychittam...
NandatiNandatiNandyatyaiva...." 😊
