I discovered the usefulness of Yoga just 1 & ½ years ago and I can feel a lot of changes in my life already by just reserving 1 to 1.5 hrs a day for me. Initially I was sceptical about it as everybody does in the beginning. The law of inertia also make it difficult to initiate any change in life or otherwise. But the one who breaks up this initial roadblock can reach the otherwise seeming improbabilities.
What’s Yoga?
It’s been always a question for a non involved person but it’s very simple. For me the any soulful devoted act performed to achieve a rightful goal can be categorised as Yoga. There are as many types as many requirements/goals we have.
Why one need it?
There can be more one way to do the same job. Some are harmonious and some otherwise. But for the benefit of the mankind or the people the great seers have found a perfectly harmonious way to do the same with least effort and maximum gains. These methods are based on the repeated practical use and refined over generations for best possible results. This is the accumulated knowledge practiced, refined & preserved over times by multiple generations. This is how we learnt and achieved new heights in time and history of mankind. This is like an operating manual published after great amount of research & development and supplied along with the product for its optimum use.
As we need a specialized tool to carry out a particular job in proper way? So it is the Yoga which teaches us to do things in proper way and that’s why we need it. In other words, Yoga is required to bring our mind, body and soul in perfect harmony.
