Why Yoga ?

While all the paths in Life are a path of Yoga,
Why should i learn the Science of Yoga?

Because i want money.
Because I want Healthy and beautiful Body.
Because I want to do what the superstars and super models do.
Because I want to be accepted.
Because i want to have a great sex life.
Because i want to be successful in my profession.
Because i want to be popular.
Because i want to be famous.
Because i want people to love me and accept me.
Because i want to feel great about myself
Because i want to feel great about being alive.
Because i want to enjoy the goodness of life.
Because i want the strength of body, mind and spirit to face the difficult phases of life.
Because i want to be stable and sturdy.
Because i want peace of mind.
Beacuse i want to be like those popular Guru's :)

Maybe some of these are your needs, some wants.
Maybe they are the luxury you can afford, now that one has already got all other material, emotional and mental comforts and yet .... there is that something more one seeks.

All this is as true of life, the need for spiritual evolution.

Yet... coming back to the basic question, What is it, that i seek?
Is it.... That which I am? That which is my true nature? That which is glory of existence?

Sat Chit Anand! Wow.. Why, of course i could ask that too.. no one has stopped me......

In the times where we can choose the packages we need for internet surfing, mobile connection, gift offers... we choose that which gives us the maximum benefit. What one can afford.

Sooo...  then... what can i afford? How much do i need? How much divine currency do i have??
What are the offers of Parabrahman, from which i could choose :)


Yoga offers and enables us to achieve that which is beyond the matter. It has far more to offer... I think, than one can imagine and dared to even imagine.

So then, What do i need/want/desire? Can i achieve it through the path of Yogabhyasa / Yog Sadhana???

Whatever i seek is fair. It only depends on my preparedness, to accept what i shall receive.
Hmmm.. so Yoga could prepare me, make me a worthy recipient of the boon. (And.. that's just the beginning)
Get prepared! Choose your sadhana! Do it!

Om Prem!
