We are providing you with the knowledge of Different Aspects of Yoga, Vedic Yoga, Important Aspects of Yoga, Scientific Aspect of Yoga, Yoga in Vedas, in the absence of which most of us fear of adopting this useful thing and therefore are not able to take the maximum benefit out of it.

The first books to refer to yog are the ancient Vedas. Although they don’t give specific practices, they allude to yog symbolically. The verses of the Vedas were heard by the rishis, seers, in states of deep, yogic meditation or Samadhi, and are regarded as revealed scriptures. In Upanishads Yog begins to take a more definable shape.

According to mythical tradition, Lord Shiv is said to be the founder of yog and goddess Parvati, his first disciple. We get the first glimpse of Yog in Vedas, the oldest scripture and later in Treta Yug we get Yog Vashishta from guru Vashishtha, the guru of Lord Rama. Then in Dwapar Yug we get the real lesson of Yog as SRIMADBHAGVAD GEETA by Yogeshvara Krishna. Finally today in Kalyug Yog is not an unfamiliar name.

Yog arouse at the beginning of human civilization when man started feeling difference between sorrows and joys. He was in search of permanent remedy to come out of this ocean of sorrows and as an alternative wanted to seek imperishable joy later known as bliss. Indian sages realized their spiritual potential and began to evolve techniques to develop it. The yogic science was evolved and developed by ancient sages all over the world.

In archaeological excavations made in the Indus Valley at Harappa and Mohenjodaro, now in modern Pakistan, many statues have been found depicting deities resembling lord Shiv and Parvati performing various asaans, mudras and meditation. These ruins were once the dwelling place of people who lived in the pre-Vedic age before the Aryan civilization started to flourish in the Indus sub continent.

In ancient times, Yog techniques were kept secret and were never written down or exposed to public view and were passed on from Guru to disciple by word of mouth as shruti due to which there was a clear understanding of subject, yog sutras and their meaning and aim. Till day, many enlightened gurus believe that knowledge of yoga can never be gained through books. One needs a practical training under the expert guidance of a guru and this is the only reason that many of the ancient and the most effective techniques of Yog are still with the enlightened Gurus and not in any of the book or videos.

In the 6th century BC, Lord Buddha’s influence brought the ideals of meditation to the fore and the preparatory of Yog were ignored. The Indian thinkers soon realized the limitations of this view and Yogi Matsyendra nath taught that before taking to the practices of meditation, the body and its elements need purification. Yogic pose Matsyendrasana was also named after this great master. His chief disciple Guru Gorakhnath wrote books on Hath Yog.

Just being a yog practitioner one can be happy and satisfied in life. Yog touches all the levels of human life and helps in pleasant feelings and constructive images.
