What is Yoga?
Perform action, O Arjuna, being steadfast in Yoga, abandoning attachment, and balanced in success and failure. Evenness of mind is called Yoga. The Bhagvad Geeta Yogash Chitta Vriti Nirodha.
A wave uniting with the depth is Yoga. Sri Sri yuj Parvati Lord Shiva
It is an inherent desire in humans to be happy. The ancient sages, through inquiry about life, were able to reach a state of consciousness in which the
secrets of healthier, happier and meaningful living were revealed to them. Sages called that secret and sacred knowledge Yoga. The term Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj, meaning union; the union of the individual consciousness with the universal Consciousness. The knowledge of yoga can be found in ancient scriptures dating back over 5000 years. According to Hindu mythology, this knowledge was first revealed by Lord Shiva to his wife Parvati (also known as Shakti, the cosmic creative energy). Yoga transcends any religion or culture. Its application is universal. Yoga is not merely a form of exercise for the body, but a path towards total harmony of body, mind and spirit. It is ancient wisdom for a healthier, happier and more peaceful way of living that ultimately leads to Self-realization, the union with the Self. It was from this state of union when Jesus said Me and My Father are one. http://srisriyoga.info/index.html
Different Paths of Yoga Yoga is the journey as well as the goal. Just as all rivers lead to the ocean, all paths of yoga lead to Self-realisation.
There are many paths of yoga prescribed in the scriptures. Though the journey may begin on any single path, for full blossoming and fulfillment, a multi-path approach needs to be followed. All paths can be categorized into following primary paths.
Gods love is unconditional. Acknowledging that love and reflecting it back to God is devotion. Blossoming of devotion toward God is the sweetest experience one can have. Devotion means being in a state of complete surrender to God. It is the willingness to serve God with love and with feelings of gratefulness. A devotee sees divinity everywhere and yet has an intense longing for God. Love toward God can take many forms with many different feelings. For example, it can be the feeling of a true friendship with God; of being a faithful servant to God; of being a beloved of God; of being a child of God; or of being a parent to God. A devotee transcends worldly sorrows or pains. It is in devotion that one experiences total freedom from fear and worry. Devotion is the simplest way of receiving freedom from worldly bondage. A true devotee has no selfdesires, including the desire for liberation. Devotion in ones heart is kindled by the grace of a guru, by being in the company of other devotees, and by reading and listening to the stories of other devotees.
Those who worship the imperishable, the indefinable, the unmanifest, the omnipresent, the unthinkable, the immovable and the eternal, fixing their mind on God, ever steadfast and endowed with supreme faith, are the best in Yoga.
The Bhagvad Geeta
Thy right is to work only, but never with its fruits; let
not the fruits of action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction. As the ignorant men act from attachment to action, so should the wise act without attachment, wishing the welfare of the world.
The Bhagvad Geeta
The wise, ever steadfast in the knowledge of Self, excels. He gradually evolves and realizes the Self. He is exceedingly dear to Me and I am exceedingly dear to him. Such a great soul is very hard to find.
