Do we practice yoga? Do we know what yoga is about? Is we see yoga today, Real Yoga?
Yoga we know as a fitness program more than anything else. No doubt that yoga for fitness or yoga for health are the most popular and well experiential aspects of yoga itself. One can easily relate with story about the elephant described by the blinds. When you try to study yoga it mandatory to read Hathyoga, Yogasutra by Patanjali and Bhagwat Geeta also. But it is not possible to systematize yoga unless you are thorough with Yogasutra by Patanjali. It is also said that Patanjali gives road-map of learning yoga and Bhagwatgeeta provides the implicit aspects of behavior of a yogi. Learning any text on yoga without its practice in life is waste of time and energy.
Real goal of yoga is not shoddy, limited to health and fitness but it is for bringing up unanimity in society. This culture is beyond cast, creed dogma or religion. It is freely permeable through national boundaries. Best and most creations in the world in any field are through yoga. All great people who are genuinely creative and inventive, practice yoga knowingly or unknowingly. In fact Yoga is a built in function in their system. Inventing and taking it to perfection is achieved through constant endeavor without thinking of its commercial aspect. To make those inventions commercially viable also require great efforts. Patience and relentlessly working till end is the true signature of yoga, we can say.
We will continue on these lines in future....
