1. Iconography depicts the inner aspects of the asana. An idol or statue is an icon when the Prana Pratistha (a ritual performed to infuse and instill the idol with prana or life force to sanctify the idol is carried out. Without Prana Pratistha, no idol or statue is an icon as there is no prana in the idol. The asana is Iconographic in that sense because the Panchapranas have a vital role to play. In asanas when the prana has the movement it becomes Iconographic, hence with the pranic constellations viz. the Pranic, Apanic, Samanic and Udanic management (as described in this book) make asanas an Iconographic position, as the prana is moving in the asana, just as the prana moves in an icon. The management of the elements namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space can be effectively carried out only with these constellations. Without these constellations, the asanas would merely be positions. Hence by these practices, when the internal condition is brought to a unified state, one starts worshipping through the asana and not worshipping the asana itself. This is the Iconography of any asana.

2. Archetypal means original, universal, divine expression. Architects design buildings but the Architect of the Universe is Divinity. Archetypal means the creative mind of God. When God creates something, it is to serve human beings for their upliftment.
This is the Divine plan behind creation. These postures are Archetypal because they have a higher cosmic purpose to serve.

*Teachers should never look for testimonies coming from students.*

[…] In teaching. as you people understand, what is important is not only what I teach and what you learn.

I just cannot assess and say that I'm a very good teacher because I teach and you learn the same thing good, properly. Just learning properly, a teacher helping you to learn properly is not sufficient. Usually you merit the teacher if the teacher teaches you properly, you say, a very good teacher!. Is that right?
More important is what impressions are created in you. Because impressions will be carried out, carried away by you life after life after life. So what impressions are carried out or what impressions are created in the mind of the student will be important.

I just can't ask you, did you follow what I said? Did you follow what I said? I can't just ask you that. Because that's not going to really work, but suppose, because if you have wrong impressions about what I taught ... I might put a question, what was taught in the class on Friday evening and you might give the answer paper to me. Maybe your answers will be right. But what is important is what ideas were created in you.

Ideas come with you. Ideas transmigrate with you. Ideas don't die with you.

Your ideas come with you. So what impressions are created is important and not whether the student like your teaching, understand your teachings. A step has to be taken beyond, not only understand, but have a right notion, right impression.

And that's why I find that teaching for me is quite a big struggle. Many of them enjoy teaching. They like teaching, because they get wonderful responses.

Students praise them. Testimonies are given by students. All the students say, I hereby certify you are the best teacher in the world!

In university, who gives you the testimony? Neither by chancellors and vice chancellors. So they are definitely more educated to give you a testimony. Here students give the testimony, you are wonderful teacher!

I laugh at it. Who is certifying me? Somebody above me should certify, not somebody below me certify. Suppose you are appearing for graduation, examination and your answer papers are sent to middle school students to assess.

Is it okay? You have written an examination for graduation and the answer papers are sent to middle school students, students assess this. These answer papers, student assesses. Will you tolerate? Will you like it? Will you accept it? So, teachers should never look for testimonies coming from students.

And that's how we really thrive. Anyway, what impressions are created is important. That's why I think the teaching job is very, very difficult. […]
