The Essence of Yoga
"The essence of Yoga & Meditation is very simple; it is about your happiness. Yoga is not just physical fitness training. It is an authentic holistic tradition inclusive of contemplation & meditation. Its aim is for you to achieve your fullest potential in life, since you possess a storehouse of immense happiness within you! It's not essential to be young & supple to practice Yoga & Meditation...all that is needed, is a desire to be happy."

What is the Role of Meditation ?
Meditation is communication with thyself the answer to all conflicts and problems in the outer world. Meditation neutralises, like when the sun rises and the fog disappears. Everyday stress, problems, sorrows are neutralised and you find inner peace. We then have more space for memory, thoughts and work. When the SMS inbox of the consciousness is overfilled and can’t take more messages, meditation clears and makes space for growth.

In mediation we receive valuable advice from our inner self...

Meditation is a very important part of life. It is the way to calm the mind and emotions. Through meditation we come to know our self – it is the way to one’s self. In meditation we come to know our qualities and can purify them.

When we meditate, we feel like a child in our mother’s lap. Meditation is that which cradles our life as we move through the universe. Meditation leads us to God. Meditation helps us dissolve the boundaries between God and self. Meditation removes mountains of duality and ignorance and helps to overcome restlessness and sorrow.

Frequently in life we have questions arise about what we should, should not do. We seek answers from others hoping they will give us some direction but we can achieve the best answer ourselves through meditation. In mediation we receive valuable advice from our inner self. Meditation gives the correct inspiration and motivation to lead a healthy and long life. Meditation show us the way to love and the way to serve. All who meditate have a successful life. Each holy person and saint meditates.

However, meditation without a mantra is like a body without a soul. Therefore, use mantra during meditation but don’t repeat it too quickly. It is not important how many times one repeats the mantra, what is important is the consciousness with which it is practised and that you are aware of what the mantra means. The feeling of the mantra should awaken within you.
