What is Yoga?
THE HISTORY
​
Initially, yoga was imparted by the Adiyogi (the first yogi), Shiva, over 15,000 years ago.
​
It was Adiyogi who introduced to humanity the idea that one can evolve beyond one’s present level of existence.
He poured this knowing into the legendary Sapta Rishis, or “seven sages,” who carried this powerful yogic science to various parts of the world, including Asia, ancient Persia, northern Africa, and South America.
For generations, countless masters, holding it above their own lives, have passed on this sacred thread of knowledge without a single distortion.
Yoga is a science.
Yoga has nothing to do with any particular religion.
As there are physical sciences to create external wellbeing, yoga is the science for inner wellbeing.
​​When we say “yoga,” for most people it probably means twisting the body into impossible postures.
That’s not what yoga is about.
Among the Yoga Sutras, which form the bedrock of today’s yoga, only one sutra is dedicated to asanas. All Patanjali said was “Sthiram sukham asanam” – a posture which is comfortable and firm, that is your asana. Asanas are a very preparatory step, but unfortunately they are being propagated as the whole of yoga. ​​​
Yoga means to be in perfect tune.
Your body, mind and spirit and the existence are in absolute harmony.
When you fine-tune yourself to a point where everything functions so beautifully within you, the best of your abilities will naturally flow out of you.
Have you noticed, when you are happy, your energies always function better?
You seem to have endless energy. It doesn’t matter even if you do not eat or sleep, you can go on and on.
If a little happiness can do this to you, imagine if your body and mind were functioning in a completely different state of relaxation and a certain level of blissfulness. You would be released from so many things that most people suffer from.
With the practice of yoga, your body and mind will be kept at their highest possible peak.​
What we refer to as capability, talent, creativity or your ability to do things in the world is just a certain way your energy functions.
In one plant, this energy functions to create rose flowers. In another, it functions to create jasmine. But it is all the same energy manifesting itself.
If you gain a little bit of mastery over your own energies, you will simply and naturally do things that you never imagined possible. This is the experience of any number of people who have started doing yogic practices.
It is the inner technology of creating situations the way you want them.
Yoga is a tool to find ultimate expression to life.
Every human being must explore and know this.
Otherwise, life becomes very limited and accidental.
But once you start activating your inner energies, your capabilities happen in a different sphere altogether.
