Meditation
Over the last few years I have practised yoga and meditation.
At times I have discovered quotations, prayers and readings that have inspired me.
These are some of them.
What is Yoga?
When the word Yoga is mentioned, most people immediately think of some physical postures for relaxing and limbering up the body. This is only one small aspect of it. The physical Yoga or Hatha Yoga was primarily designed to facilitate the real practice of Yoga - namely, the understanding and complete mastery over the mind.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali quotes it very clearly: "Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodhah" - The restraint of the modification of the mind-stuff is yoga. Once the restraint of the mental modifications is achieved one has reached the goal of Yoga. The entire science of Yoga is based on this.
