About yoga - as per veda

As per Veda, Upanishat Jeevatma is a portion of Paramatma. Paramatma isa a great inspirer.  Jeevatma is only a mark.  Paramatmas completeness must be present in jeevatmas also.  But due to the Maya of nature, there is ignorance in us.  Because of the ignorance that he is incompleted and anishes, and stands in his own capacity, and that process is called as yoga.  In this way the process of jeevatma, remaining in Paramathma is the object of yoga.  This stay is known as Moksha.  This is Atmananda prapti. This Rigveda calls as pranamam ananadam brahma.  Yajurveda as "Aham Brahmasmi", Samaveda "Tatwamasi" Atarvana veda Ayam atma brahma.  Even though yoga means the Ikya - samadhi, Jeevatma leaving its dirtiness, entering in Paramatma, this process is called yoga.

As per the meaning of Rigveda, Paramatma is Gnananswaroopa to tell that he is man power is maya.  Due to the influence of nature, maya is covered to Paramatma.  This maya is the ignorance.  If ajanana is vanished then the sakshatkara of paramatma will take place in due course.  This is called as moksha.

Moksha is the freedom from rebirth.  From irth to death sorrow.  That sorrow is samsara.  To secure freedom from samsara is mukti.  Jeevatma must know who is he? When he comes to know about himself he will recognize his true form.  Then he will not have the influence of karma, khrodha, lobha, moha, mada, matsarya.  Then he will be himself is atmananda, brahmananda.  To him every thing looks like brahmam maya.  The dream of jagmthi (choakenness), crossing shusupti he will be in turiyavaste.  This stage is called poornatma nirmana.  Paramatma is influenced to satwa, raja, tamoguna, stoola, sookshma karana bodies, annnamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vignana maya, ananda maya pancha kosha, body indriya, mind, ahankara.

To serve him wisdom, worldly, far from worldly enjoyment, shama dama disposition.  Mumukshatwa to be practiced. In vedanta tathwa it is said that we must practice about shravana (hearing) manana, nidhidyasana.  In mitya we must see satya.  We must see brahma in every thing and becomes brahma himself.  It is called as kaivalya.  He omkara swaroopa - sat, chitananda swaroopa brahma.  The combination of jeeva and brahma is yoga.

Perfect bliss - yoga

Self acceptance

is the beginning

of true meditation.

When you fully allow

everything to be

exactly as it is

then you transcend

that level of experience.

You allow the body to

be as it is

and your awareness

expands beyond the body.

You allow the emotions

to be as they are

and your awareness

expands beyond emotion.

You allow thoughts to

be as they are,

and your awareness

expands beyond the thinking.

If there is any urge

to change something,

improve something,

then there is conflict

and you remain stuck

in that which you wish

to change.

Many see happiness

as some future goal:

'If I can heal my emotions,

if I can stop reacting in this way,

if I can be free of these memories,

if I can stop my thoughts

then I will be happy.'

And so there are all

of these different modes

of healings and therapies

and belief systems

giving you the illusion that

if you just work on yourself

hard enough and long enough

then you can be a perfect person.

And nothing could be farther

from the truth.

I am not knocking

self improvement,

it has its purpose,

but it also gives you the illusion

that some time in the future

you will be good enough.

Which means you are not

good enough now.

The underlying

condition of self improvement

is that how you are in this moment

is wrong.

You are a glitch in the system

and you need to be fixed.

Yet from your natural state

of pure awareness

everything is perfect

as it is.

Not as a judgment

but that which is self evident.

So when you enter meditation,

accept yourself as you are.

This is not

'I love myself as I am'

or any other psychological therapy.

It is to accept everything as it is

all the way to the core.

You let it all be exactly as it is

without any involvement.

You let go of trying

to do it,

trying to control it

and allow that

which cannot be known

to take over.

Because then you relax into

the essence of that experience.

And the essence

of all experience

is consciousness.

One all encompassing

Perfect consciousness

that lights up the whole show.

That is

the whole show.

And the nature

of consciousness

is bliss.

Perfect bliss.

Yoga Education

Yoga Education is as essential to all as air, water and light.  Yogasana, Pranayama, Dhyana are not the properties of a particular community. It is a sacred habit of all the four types of human beings.  Even women and shoodras are eligible to practice this yoga, of late the women are having ugly appearance since they are not having proper physical exercise of the body. And also they are suffering from several diseases. It has become common.  We can cure several diseases by yogasanas.  The main object of yoga is to have Daiva Sakshatkara, attaining Moksha, and Brahmaprapati in addition to maintain physical health.


In Raja yoga, there are astanga yogas, like Yama, Niyama, Aasana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharan, Dhyana, Samadhi, yoga to be practiced everyday with highest zeal and devotion, regularly every day.  By this, there is no doubt to achieve Brahma Sakshatkara (can see god).

There are several steps to achieve Brahma Sakshatkara like Gynana yoga, Bhaktiyoga, Raja yoga and Karma yoga.  By climbing each step of astanga yoga, Brahma Sakshatkara can be achieved.  In Brahma Sakshatkara though there are differences like astika, nastika, adwita, dwaita, vishita dwita, in Rightveda there are 10 mandalas, 85 anuvaka, 1028 sukta, 10552 mantras, it has been explained (zist) in a sentence as "Pragnanam Anandamaya Brahma," in philosophical language.
