Yoga is for everybody and a way to improve the quality of life and to lead a full life, without stress

There are extreme and faulty views about Yoga – For some, it is is too complex, and for some, it is too simple and take it casually. Both the views are incorrect

One has to understand ‘Yogshastra’ in its proper form and make it a part of his/her daily routine

What do we understand by Happiness & prosperity?

If we feel to be happy by materialistic gains, we will also be sad because of lack of it

Material which is pleasure for somebody is pain for someone else

Materialism is a never ending need

If you have one thing, you want tens to be happy and then you will need thousands to be happy and the obvious non fulfillment makes you unhappy

The absence of expectation in deeds generates in man, an impartial view towards Joy & Sorrow. Lord Krishna defines Yoga as “Samatvam Yoga Uchyate”

• Yoga in its true form can be defined as an experience-based attempt to go beyond the dualities of life

‘Yoga’ is derived from a Sanskrit verb ‘Yuj’ meaning joining two things together. The ultimate aim of ‘Yoga’ is to unite ‘Atma Tatva’ in you with ‘Parmtatva’ of Universe. This is a process of merging water drop in ocean.

Yoga is a Science which was created for achieving a purified body, capable of achieving the level of concentration required for ‘Dharana’, ‘Dhyan’ & ‘Samadhi’

‘Yoga’ firmly believes that human body and mind are mutually inter-related & influence each other. ‘Yoga’ has equally thought of mind along with body. Therefore, Muni Patanjali has defined ‘Yoga’ as “Yogaschittvruttinirodh” • i.e.: Controlling the mind restores stability to the highly

volatile mind and health to the disease-prone body

Real happiness lies in having a controlled and stable mind and in a well tuned body.

So ‘Yoga’ is defined as highway leading to happiness and prosperity
