Description :
Yoga philosophy is one of the six systems Hindu philosophies. The word Yog
means, coming
together, strong relations, combine, merging the two things, joining, the joining of individual self with the
Supreme self, individual will with the universal will. This union with the God is the goal of life. It is the
expansion of narrow s
elfish egoistic personality with all pervasive eternal unselfish blissful state of reality.
In other sense it is the union of body, mind and soul. Let us try to understand it in the deeper sense.
Equanimity is yoga, serenity is Yoga, skill in action is yog
a, control of senses and the mind is yoga,
anything by which the best and the highest in life can be attained is yoga. Yoga is the state of Samadhi. It
integrates the personality by bringing the body mind coordination in a well balanced way. It elevates
on
eself by calming the mind, a higher state of mind. It opens up our creativity, so it is the skillful trick to
calm down the mind. It is the state of higher powers and potentialities and even as the ultimate state of
silence and perfection. It helps a norma
l human being to elevate to the super or divine human being
instead of falling into animal human being. It is an all round personality development. These fundamental
thoughts we need to inculcate from childhood, through our secular educational system. Phys
ical fitness
of our body and mind is not only for the individual growth, which would really contribute for the fitness of
our society that will lead to make this nation great. Let this thought be always there when we do Yoga
asana in our daily life. Withou
t taking care of this body and mind we become useless to family and
society, so need to practice yoga in daily life, in the same time keep a feeling of oneness with the society,
then the man making and Nation building become easier.
