3. Meaning Of Yoga :
Introduction.
The word, yoga, comes from the
Sanskrit word “Yuj”, which means
“union”, “to join” and "samadhi" or
"concentration.“
Yoga is a physical, mental and
spiritual practice that originated in
ancient India.

4. Yoga is a communion of the human soul
with the Supreme Soul.
It is a spiritual system with a physical
component.
Yoga helps to overcome lust, anger and
ego and live a virtuous life.

5. Traditional Yoga .
• According to the ancient view, the
success of Yoga is evidenced by the
degree to which one experiences
realization of the eternal Self, which is
beyond the physical body, its maladies,
and its inevitable demise.
. The word “Yoga” referred to
the whole, not merely one part, which is
the postures, or Asanas.

6.  Indian Yoga, in its essence a special action or
formulation of certain great powers of Nature, itself
specialized, divided and variously formulated, is
potentially one of these dynamic elements of future life
of humanity. The main goal of traditional yoga is to
achieve moksha- liberation, enlightenment, freedom
from reincarnation and conscious recognition of
one's own divinity.

9. ALL LIFE IS YOGA
 If we can summarize the crux of the Gita’s teaching, it is in
the memorable phrase: “All life is yoga.” Whatever one’s
circumstances, actions, station in life, and relationships, the
essential aspect is to constantly see and remember the
Divine at all times.
At Primary Level – Shri Aurovindo has given three elements
to practice :
 Aspiration
 Surrender
 Rejection
If these three things are followed then the individual gets
strength day by day and becomes powerful.

10. YOGA : A NEW BIRTH
All yoga is in its nature a new birth.
No yoga can be successfully undertaken and
followed unless there is a strong awakening to the
necessity of that larger spiritual existence.
The Yoga is not to be effected by a divided will or
by a small portion of the energy or by a hesitating
mind.

13. CONCLUSION

vital, mental, psychological and spiritual aspects of the
human being.
 Yoga is not mere practice for an hour or two in a day but it
is the most scientific way of living, all the twenty-four
hours of the day.
