People in ancient India lived in harmony with animals. This is obvious from the Panchatantra (pronounced as Pancha - tan - tra) tales, ancient animal fables that originated in India around 3rd century BCE. These stories, passed down by word of mouth for generations, show that people in ancient India observed animal behavior closely and each animal was given a human character based on its unique characteristics. The cow is seen as a "giver of life" because it provides milk. The monkey is regarded as clever and loyal and is also worshipped as the monkey god Hanuman. The cobra and the lion are feared but are also worshipped to prevent them from causing harm to humans. Many yoga poses are named after animals. Though there is no historical evidence that yoga poses were inspired by the Panchatantra tales, the prominent role that both the Panchatantra and yoga play in Indian life and culture have inspired me to link each Yoga pose named after an animal to a Panchatantra tale about the same animal. If you are an animal and yoga lover, I hope that that you will enjoy practicing these animal yoga poses and reading their stories. If animals or yoga are not your thing, I hope you will read the stories to find out why people in ancient India were so fascinated by animals and how they became a part of their lives and legend.
