What is YOGA?

Yoga means to join, unite Or merge. Yoga is a science also an art.

Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha.

Yoga is silencing of Whirlpool(Waves) of minds(Sea/Lake).

Idea of yoga, Patanjali get it from seeing Aadiyogi (The Source Of Yoga).

The practice of yoga integrate the body with the mind and the mind with the soul, thereby helping us to understand out on nature live harmoniously  with our fellow men.

Most of you are aware of only two aspects of yoga, 

–The Asanas and Pranayama. 

Yoga is more than these two.

It is, in fact,  known as “The Eightfold path” , Called ” Ashtanga Yoga“.

“ASTHANGA” means “8 “

It includes –

‌2.NIYAMA

‌3.ASANA

‌4.PRANAYAMA

‌5.PRATYAHARA

‌8.SAMADHI

And these 8 pillars arranged in ascending order of power, knowledge and awareness ;  from outside world( Yama, The  Universal commandments)  to inside within(Samadhi).

-Yoga is one of the path,  to attain the ultimate goal of life ,  which is “Enlightment” and being “Sage”. Just as a river merges into the ocean  and becomes one within it,  So as  the individual self merges into the  Universal spirit and becomes one.

-Lord Sri Krishna,  in Bhagavad Gita describes the true meaning of Sage..

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 56

One whose mind remains undisturbed amidst misery, who does not crave for pleasure, and who is free from attachment, fear, and anger, is called a sage of steady wisdom.

Chapter 2, Verse 48

#Q)WHY YOGA DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS ?

As I already told you, Yoga is not Just  Asanas and Pranayama. It’s more than that. It Actually was made to ” Seek Inner Peace” .To keep Calm , and to Know the ultimate knowledge. There are various levels at which we Get Pleasure..

 Spiritual Level (Ultimate Power)

 Intellectual Level     

Mental Level

        

Bodily Level (Lowest & Addictive)

-Yoga Helps us to reach that ultimate power . As yoga also includes the seeking behaviour of truth of life.

The question arise-Why you came on earth ?

Answer of which nobody knows.

-In the world of KALYUG , everyone became a Machine & Been driven by the worldly Baits. In this world the mental disorders are overcoming the physical disorders. Yoga helps us to find yourself in the darkness of illiteracy. It enlighten the path & lead you to the Ultimate Goal of life.

-These thing that other Exercises don’t do like Gym , in which they improve external appearance & looks not mental health.

-YOGA is a Life Style , it’s a Habbit.
