"Unlike what most people understand – Yoga is not merely physical
exercises to keep one’s body healthy. The true meaning of the word
YOGA is “Union / Communion” of one’s soul or consciousness with the
ever present energy of the Universe “Brahman” – that which is ever
present non-changing, supreme consciousness that exists and flows
through all things living or non living. In the deepest state of
meditation becoming one of our personal consciousnesses with this
Universal Energy is what yoga truly means. Can we actually reach the
supreme energy flowing through us by the physical exercise? If yes
then how and if no then why do the physical Yoga."
