The practise of Yoga and its benefits physical, mental, social and spiritual - allows us to create harmony within ourself.
“May all beings be healthy. May all beings dwell in peace. May all beings attain oneness. May all beings attain fulfilment. May there be happiness in the whole world”
When you start to feel this harmony your whole inner being revives like a desert after rain. Yoga and Meditation exerts a pleasant, harmonising and healing effect upon ones whole body and psyche. There comes to exist in one’s heart something so peaceful, which no one can ever take away.
So Yoga means more than doing a headstand or having a good figure. Though comprehensive as it is, yoga actually includes those things too. It is said “One in all and all in one.” But the aim of yoga is discovering inner peace, inner harmony, realizing one’s true Self. For those who practise seriously it is for finding the answer to the question, “Who am I?” We suffer all kinds of stress because we don’t know who we really are. Finding out who we really are is the true purpose of yoga.
