What is yoga?
I will tell you about yoga in very simple terms: The human mind is potentially Infinite and Creative. But in practical reality it is limited. So a technical know-how is required through which one can expand his mind to bring about the equilibrium that enables him to control his physical structure and experience his Infinite Self.
Yogi Bhajan
Many people misunderstand what we mean when we say yoga. The techniques of Kundalini yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan form an owner's manual for human consciousness. This is not about intellectual knowledge of consciousness, but instead an experiential knowledge of Self. Knowledge of Kundalini yoga only becomes a source of wisdom when it becomes your personal experience. How do you make yoga your personal experience? Disciplining yourself to a regular practice.
Here's what yoga is NOT:
- a religion
- an exercise program
- a psychological process
Here's what yoga IS:
- union of an individual consciousness with Infinite Consciousness
- a technology of awareness
