Yoga — A Cultural Blessing
‘Yoga’ has its roots from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means to join or unite. The very origin of the word speaks volumes. It aims to connect your mind and body and to help them work together in peace and as one.
It works on leading to the union of your consciousness to the universal consciousness. The person who experiences this unity and bond between nature and himself is said to have attained moksha (ultimate liberation).
Yoga aims to achieve self-actualization and peace, even when faced with the most difficult tasks. That is when you truly achieve kaivalya (freedom). It imparts basic human values and pushes human beings towards a sustainable lifestyle filled with joy, peace and gratitude.
