This can be particularly seen in Sri Rudram.
नमो - बभ्लुशाय विव्याधिनेऽन्नानां पतये - नमः
नमो - भवस्य हेत्यै जगतां पतये - नमः
नमो - रुद्रायाततायिने क्षेत्राणां पतये - नमः
नमः - सूतायाहन्त्याय वनानां पतये - नमः
There is Namaskara both at the beginning and end.
Why is this so?
Rudra has got both aspects: protective and destructive.
He protects everything.
But when pralaya comes he has to destroy the world he has protected thus far.
Considering this dual character of Rudra, he is offered Namaskara twice:
The purpose of yoga is to get rid of duality and see oneness in everything. This is attained in the state of samadhi. To achieve samadhi, long and rigorous practice is required. Physical fitness is essential for this. Postures of yoga called asanas give physical fitness. In the state of samadhi, the mind becomes still and calm. By regulating breathing through pranayama, mind control is achieved. Yoga is good for physical and mental fitness.
The Shiva Linga in the imagery top of the page is of Anjani Mahadev. Manali, Himachal Pradesh. The waterfall does perpetual abhisheka of the Linga and in winter freezes to cover it. The temple is also known as Amarnath of Himachal.
Strength develops through suffering
