Bharat: the origin of Yog Vidya

The Indian Yoga:

The science of Yoga has its roots since thousands of years, long before the first religion or belief system was born. In the Yogic culture, Shiva is not known as a God, but as the “Adiyogi” or the “first yogi” –the originator of yoga. he was the one who first put this seed into the human mind.
The yogic science is not about a yoga class that you go through about to bend your body or hold your breath which every unborn infant knows. This is the science of understanding the mechanics of entire human system.

When I see an athlete on the field, I truly appreciate the hurdles they’ve overcome &the struggles they’ve endured to reach where they are today. To excel at any sport, it takes burning passion, sheer mental toughness& tremendous self discipline to train & suffer for hundreds & hundreds of hours.
That is why I am more inspired by a sportsman putting up a fight, spilling the last drop of sweat & blood chasing the Victory. Sports is more than just a game, SPORTS IS LIFE.
And Yoga inculcates such sportsmanship & athleticism qualities. Yoga means addition-addition of energy, strength and beauty to body, mind &soul. The essence of yoga is to make the process of life as efficient &enjoyable as possible. It is our birth right to have access to this information it is a sign of our wisdom if we use it, our enlightment if we share it. Yoga is no less magical than the power of life itself. It unlocks life’s wonder & unleashed hidden energies.
