4.  Yoga is for everybody and a way to improve the
quality of life and to lead a full life, without stress
 There are extreme and faulty views about Yoga – For
some, it is is too complex, and for some, it is too
simple and take it casually. Both the views are
incorrect
 One has to understand „Yogshastra‟ in its proper form
and make it a part of his/her daily routine

5. What do we understand by Happiness & prosperity?
 If we feel to be happy by materialistic gains, we will
also be sad because of lack of it
 Material which is pleasure for somebody is pain for
someone else
 Materialism is a never ending need
 If you have one thing, you want tens to be happy and
then you will need thousands to be happy and the
obvious non fulfillment makes you unhappy

6.  The absence of expectation in deeds generates in
man, an impartial view towards Joy & Sorrow. Lord
Krishna defines Yoga as “Samatvam Yoga Uchyate”
• Yoga in its true form can be defined as an
experience-based attempt to go beyond the
dualities of life
 „Yoga‟ is derived from a Sanskrit verb „Yuj‟ meaning
joining two things together. The ultimate aim of „Yoga‟
is to unite „Atma Tatva‟ in you with „Parmtatva‟ of
Universe. This is a process of merging water drop in
ocean.

8.  Yoga is a Science which was created for achieving a purified
body, capable of achieving the level of concentration required for
„Dharana‟, „Dhyan‟ & „Samadhi‟
 „Yoga‟ firmly believes that human body and mind are mutually
inter-related & influence each other. „Yoga‟ has equally thought
of mind along with body. Therefore, Muni Patanjali has defined
„Yoga‟ as “Yogaschittvruttinirodh”
• i.e.: Controlling the mind restores stability to the highly volatile
mind and health to the disease-prone body
 Real happiness lies in having a controlled and stable mind and
in a well tuned body.
 So „Yoga‟ is defined as highway leading to happiness and
prosperity
