Caption:

Yogi Priest Swami Shiva Nand Jee practices the Om Kara Asana (Sanskrit name). This asana or yoga exercise, represents the Om symbol. Om is the first word of every mantra. It is a powerful sound made without the tongue ever touching the lips. It comes from deep inside, from the heart, and it touches the soul. This asana requires much flexibility, balance and power.
