Uttaranchal Yoga - Meditation
"Yoga"
and "Meditation" have become the most popular sciences for curing
Physical, Mental and Emotional Illness and also for achieving Spiritual Strength.
There are many misconceptions about what actually Yoga is. Some say that it is
some form of Gymnastics, some treat it as physical exercise while others feel
that it is a display of various difficult postures.
In the right sense of
the term "Yoga" actually means 'union' or 'contact'. It has been derived
from the Sanskrit word "Yuj" which means to unite or Join. The process
by which the Individual Self unites with the Supreme Self is known as Yoga. The
purpose of Yogic Practices is to destroy the impurities of the mind and acquire
physical practices for ultimately attaining self Realizing. "Meditation"
means to "Reflect Upon". This happens when the mind is concentrated
on a particular activity or object over an elongated period of time.
There
are four principle forms of Yoga :Karma Yoga - Uniting with
the Supreme Self through "Work"
Gyana Yoga - Uniting with
the Supreme Self through "Knowledge"
Bhakti Yoga - Uniting
with the Supreme Self through "Devotion"
Raja Yoga - Uniting
with the Supreme Self through "Psychic Control"
"Patanjali"
was the first Philosopher and Teacher who made "Yoga" a proper scientific
discipline. Yoga is being practiced in India since the last 5000 Years. The "Ashtanga
