    YOGA

    ORIGIN
    • Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely
    subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between
    mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living. The
    word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning
    ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’. As per Yogic scriptures the
    practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual
    consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness,
    indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man
    & Nature.
    • The aim of Yoga is Self-realization, to overcome all kinds of
    sufferings leading to 'the state of liberation' (Moksha) or
    ‘freedom’ (Kaivalya). Living with freedom in all walks of
    life, health and harmony shall be the main objectives of
    Yoga practice. "Yoga” also refers to an inner science
    comprising of a variety of methods through which human
    beings can realize this union and achieve mastery over their
    destiny. Yoga, being widely considered as an ‘immortal
    cultural outcome’ of Indus Saraswati Valley civilization –
    dating back to 2700 B.C., has proved itself catering to both
    material and spiritual upliftment of humanity.
