YOGA - THE MAGICAL JOURNEY

Man has fabricated luxurious products, humongous machines, high tech gadgets and many more, still go on formulating new inventions day by day to make life better on the earth yet happiness has become a temporary phenomenon. On the other hand, Yoga being the oldest art and practical science, have everything in its storehouse to make wonders on the existence of mortal beings by engendering eternal and everlasting happiness. Yoga indeed board us into a magical journey from unreal to real, unwholesome to wholesome, imperfection to perfection, fallacy to truth, diversity to unity, impure to pure! 

HOLISTIC HEALTH
We do live in a society where every single day we come across new ailments and the physical as well as mental health has taken a toll due to changing life style habits. Yoga is a structured discipline where each and every dynamics has been carefully chiseled to promise the overall vigor and vitality of human being.  The beauty about yoga is that everybody in the world is eligible to practice it, no matter one is young, old, handicapped or diseased, as it is modifiable according to the needs of the individual. Yogic practices such as Yamas and Niyamas ensuring ethical values of human life, Yoga asanas for a sound corporeal body, Pranayama for a strong pranic energy field nourishing all the cells and Meditation for a powerful mind, together corroborate into the holistic health and wellbeing which is the magic, man has been aspiring for in all his life.

ACCEPTANCE
Man always carves an ideal and perfect image of himself filled with complete virtuousness and can never imagine himself of committing any kind of mistakes in life. Reality is a total contradictory of the portrayed ideal image which puts one in the extreme state of denial as well as discomfort and he starts running away from his flaws, constantly attempting to hide it.  A Yogic practitioner in turn witnesses this ideal image created by himself is getting demolished gradually through his persistent yogic sadhana and further develop the courage to face his own faults and accept it. This can verily set him off to analyze the nature of the thought process behind the wrong doing and find better solutions to resolve it thoroughly. Acceptance is definitely a prominent virtue enables one to appreciate each and every single thing around him making living, an enchanting and fascinating experience.

LETTING GO
Human mind is the repository of impressions comprising of desires, greed, anger, jealousy and pride which gives rise to the avalanche of thoughts similar to a very high speed movie running on the movie screen resulting in obsession and compulsion. Excessive contemplations encountered by the human beings fails him miserably to live in the present moment and they often tend to resemble like a machine exercising its daily chores without heart and soul into it. On the contrary, Yoga teaches mankind to let go of everything dumped in the mind through unfolding the manoeuvre of not responding to the postulations of mind, empowering one to go with the flow of life by immersing himself in the current action with full consciousness and live the life to the fullest.

SURRENDER
Man puts himself either accountable for everything possible happening around him or entirely deny it which keeps him in the state of anxiousness, stress and depression round the clock leaving behind survival on the universe painful, traumatic, torturous, unbearable and agony filled. Whereas the Yogic science systematically depletes the ‘I’ ness from the thought pattern of the mankind and let him surrender to the higher consciousness, enabling him to perform every action unaccompanied by expecting fruits of the same. The man of self-surrender experience pure magical silence and peace pervading through his entire being all the time, even if the world is bursting outside. This superior quality allows him not to involve in the hard and toilsome situations, rather take necessary action to come out of it.

ETERNAL HAPPINESS
Yoga takes us on a wonderful ride, paving the way for us to dive deeper and deeper inside, exploring the dynamics and nature of one’s own self. The deeper the journey becomes, one starts to unveil all the misconception and false notions, he has created about himself in all his life on the earth and discover himself as the mass lump of happiness, joy and pleasure. Even with all the advancement of technology, if the heaven is brought to the earth, it cannot at all match the indestructible contentment experienced in the self. Yoga is not an occult science, but can undeniably create the magical phenomenon of radiating everlasting happiness and unconditional love in mankind.

The taste of mango is known, only if one relishes it. Correspondingly, one cannot at any moment come across the miraculous expeditions of yoga just by reading the yogic philosophy, listening to discourses of spiritual leaders or boasting the wonders of yoga, unless one has the strong determination to perform yogic practices each and every single day.
Hari Om!
