Described by the ancient Indian scriptures as the communion of the individual soul (Jivatman) the Universal soul or God (Parmatma) “Yoga the ancient Indian discipline is highly relevant to the modern day context. Today, as we enter the 21st Century, the outside world is becoming more restless and life is full of strife and tensions. Yoga provides the perfect panacea.The secrets of the ancient science of Yoga were passed down from the rishis, saints and sages who came to these very Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh for devine inspiration. Through their meditation, austerities and prayers, a treasure-chest of wisdom was bestowed upon them for the benefit of humanity.
Yoga literally means “Union”, it is union of breath to the body, of the mind to the muscles, and most importantly of the self to the divine.
Yoga is not a religion. It does not require you to believe in a certain God or to clant certain hymns. It is an ancient science, which leads to health in the body, peace in the mind, joy in the heart and liberation of the soul. It is the most secular and universal system for human salvation.
Different forms of yoga :- Hatha – Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Mantra Yoga and Laya Yoga provide a complete system of self transformation and self realization which are the ultimate goals of human existence. Yoga has been proven as a scientific method for curing and preventing common as well as rare, acute diseases.
Asanas are not merely physical, contortionist exercises. Rather, the specific asanas act as a bridge that unites the ephemeral and limited human body with the divine, enternal, infinite soul.
