Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 What is Yoga? How Yoga can be done ? Yoga: Advantages and Suggestions What is Yoga? The common meaning of the word Yoga is 'to join'. This word is derived from the Sanskrit element 'Yuj'.....Yoga means " maintaining balance " in eating, walking etc. That is why it is said that Yoga means balance in life style. 'Samatvam yoga uchyate.' In addition to this Shree Krishna has given very beautiful and exact definition of Yoga: 'Yogah karmasu kaushalam'. That means Yoga is one where work is done with dexterity. What is this dexterity in Karma? It means whatever you do, the job should be exact, it should not be soft- padded or like a loosely filled bag: whatever you do, do it well, properly organized. Maharsi Patanjali defines Yoga as control of the leanings of the mind. 'Yogaschitta vrittinirodhah.' This is the highest aspect of Yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
