The origins of Yoga are obscure but India is a stronghold of this science because the original purity of the teachings has been maintained here. Yoga teachings were systematized by a sage named Patanjali who codified the teachings into 196 sutras, or short aphorisms, around 200 BC. India is a stronghold of yoga because the original purity of the teachings has been maintained here.

"The central teaching of Yoga" is that man's true nature is divine, perfect and infinite. He is unaware of this divinity because he falsely identified himself with his body, mind and the objects of the external world. This false identification, in turn makes him think he is imperfect and subject to sorrows, decay, and death because his mind and body are subject to the limitations of time, space and cause. Through the meditative methods of Yoga, however, one can cast off his this ignorance and become aware of his own true self, which is pure and free from all imperfections.

India 's unique gift to the world

When all else fails to ease and calm your mind, a therapeutic session of Yoga is sure to relax you and fill you with peace and serenity. Travel to India to discover Yoga, a 5,000 year old scientific technique for spiritual development, that at the very least will soothe your agitated senses and fill you with a sense of well-being, and at the most, help you to attain nirvana or Moksha, the ultimate unification of the body, mind and soul with the entire universe, as one interconnected whole. Yoga is an originally Indian concept that was propounded by the ancient Indian sage Patanjali and is derived from the Sanskrit word Yog which means 'union,' presumably union with the divine being or God.

Yoga is not a religion. It is a secular and scientific methodology of the experience and integration of the mind-body-spirit. It consists of a large body of varied techniques through a balanced practice of Astanga or the eight limbs of yoga.

The Philosophy of Yoga :

According to the philosophy of Yoga, at the deepest (or highest) level of our existence on this earth, we are all perfectly free. However, this is not our everyday experience for in our ordinary state of consciousness, we are subject to all kinds of limitations, and most significantly, experience suffering (duhkha). The practice of Yoga can help us discover our innate freedom, through an extensive process of self-purification and cleansing of the mind.

In due course of time, yoga is mainly looked upon as a set of techniques useful for achieving fitness in daily life and prevention and cure of some specific diseases or disorders. But the goal of yoga was different when yoga practices came into existence more than three thousand years ago. Throughout its history, yoga seems to have undergone changes regarding the purpose for which it was practiced. Many different varieties of yoga came to be practiced for different purposes.
