Yoga : The Union

What Is Yoga?

Yoga is a science. Yoga is believed to have its roots in the eastern part of the world. Apparently, it has gained popularity in the western part of the world. As it has been spread to the different parts of the world, yoga has been manifested in diversified forms, which are not the true forms of yoga. Now a days yoga means twisting and turning the body, or to stand upside down. Several forms that are recently being introduced, which is not true yoga are blindly practiced in the name of Yoga. There are many forms or exercises in yoga which are known as asana , hence they are called as YogaAsana.

Yoga means Union. It means whole existence is one energy. This one energy is manifested in different forms. To become one with existence is Yoga, union of physical body with whole existence. Experience of being an individual is the boundaries of sensation. Whatever that is within these boundaries defines you, and whatever that is outside is not you. It is just an experience of life.

At any moment of our life, when we experience extreme joy, when there is an ecstasy, we can feel sensation when we place our hand eight to nine inches over the body. This is the sensory body.

Sensory body has its own existence. We can enlarge this sensory body; there is a way to do it. It can be expanded so much so that there will be no difference between you and the universe.

Yoga is to expand the boundaries of sensation of the body, to assimilate outer experience within you, so much so that the universe become a part of you. This is oneness. This is Union (Yoga)
