The aim of our life philosophy is the realisation of the human potential by opening one's awareness to that which is usually dormant in oneself.
When one experiences the joy of being in the present or in the Self, it leads to experiencing the underlying Unity of All. Yoga gives us various paths and practices that lead to this realisation.
It can be by adopting the selfless attitude of Karma yoga (service without expectations), the worship and service of Bhakti yoga (devotion and surrender) or detached analysis of Jnana yoga (wisdom without attachment).
Hatha yoga gives us the practical advice on how to purify our body and the body's energy system. Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads or Patanjali Yoga Sutras point us to the inner wisdom which we have the potential to discover in ourselves by disciplining the mind.

Quote of the Day
Gurudev O. Sharma
Mind has certain characteristics, one of which is that our mind in one moment can be many things.
As in a dream, at the same moment, one is seeing a beautiful child, a donkey, a house, a train.
All these are seen at one moment.
The mind itself becomes all these things, so mind can become several things at one moment.
Such is the capacity of the mind.
This is all the play of the mind.
Now, this being a play of the mind, it has been said by the saints that mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation of human beings.
So all this is the creation of the mind, and the witnessing also is done by the mind itself.
Thoughts arise in the mind, and the mind sees these thoughts.
But the power of seeing and knowing is not of the mind.
It is from the source - the original source - the spirit.
It is only reflected in the mind.
