Different Types of Yoga
If you progress deeper into this field (of yoga), you will say, 'This is nonsense. Yoga is nonsense'. Are you surprised? Are you shocked? This is true my dear because there is no two. You can only unite two things when they are separate. When there is no two, and when nothing is separate, where is the question of uniting; unity is an illusion.
This is called Gyaan Yoga: there is no two, we are all one.Uniting implies that there is an effort. If you had to unite the right hand with the left hand, it appears as an effort. But wake up and see, they are your own hands, they are already one. You cannot say, 'I am uniting my hands', they are already one. This is Gyaan Yoga. Bhakti Yoga means - there is no other, everything and everyone is a part of me. A sense of reverence and deep love for all that is, is called Bhakti Yoga. Then comes Karma Yoga. Doing anything with passion, with full attention to it, is Karma Yoga. Now we play many roles in life, but are we playing every role with passion, with responsibility, and with care and concern? This is Karma Yoga. Hath Yoga is (when you think you cannot do a particular thing, yet) stretching beyond your perceived ability. So all these are the different types of yoga."What you pray for is what you think you cannot achieve with your limited resources, skills, or your effort. That is when prayer happens. Then you say, ‘I need this, but I don’t think I can do this. Please grant me this’. While asking, you also can add, ‘If you think there is something better in store for me, then let that happen!’ How long can you go on pleasing everyone? Just have a deep sense of contentment from within; from your soul. Walk towards the Divine. When you realize that the Divine loves and adores you so much, then you will not need anything else. Yoga is not just doing some exercise. Yoga is much more. It is to bring a quality to our life. It is to expand our awareness, sharpen our intellect, and enhance our intuitive ability. -
Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
‘Like a flower bud, human life has the potential to blossom fully.
Blossoming of human potential to fullness is Yoga’
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
What the world thinks Yoga is and what Yoga actually is, is very different!
There are many myths and questions surrounding Yoga. Like,
Is Yoga just postures, is it exercise, is it religious, can only a Hindu practise it or an Indian,
Is it not for Muslims, Christians or people of other faiths?
All these questions and more are answered by Gurudev in this eye opening video!
