"Yoga is the method by which the finite self or the individual soul is united with the Infinite Self or the Supreme Soul.The aim of Yoga is to free man from the thraldom of matter and the fetters of Prakriti and make him realise his absolute independent nature or Kaivalya. Yoga prepares him for the beatific vision." "Yoga deals in detail with the process of restraining the Vrittis or waves of the mind and attaining Nirvikalpa Samadhi or the state of super-consciousness in which the Samskaras or the seeds of rebirth are fried in toto. The Yogi attains perfection or Kaivalya (independence)." - Swami Sivananda << More>>
Glorious Immortal Atman! Beloved and blessed children of the
Divine! Blessed and fortunate sadhaks! The Universal Being
has called you to a life higher and nobler and more sublime than a
life of mere self-seeking, pleasure seeking, a life of mere
searching after name and fame, a life of hankering after mere
objective sensual pleasures, which are ultimately the sources of
pain and sorrow, restlessness and despair. The Supreme has brought
about an inner awakening, opened your eyes, and made you realise the
fleeting and temporary nature of worldly objects, the evanescence,
the transitory and perishable nature of all things created. Knowing
their hollowness you have understood the great declaration of
Vedanta: “Whatsoever is perceived is verily perishable, therefore
seek the Eternal. He who seeks the Eternal Being, bright as the
dazzling sun, beyond all darkness, the great Infinite One, such a
being attains immortality.” - Swami Chidananda

Primary
& Main Yogasana (Yoga Postures)
The Physical techniques of Yoga are the stepping stones to
meditation. According to Patanjali, Yoga is the cessation of the
modifications of the mind.
In the beginning the primary prerequisite to peace of mind is
posture. Yogasana practiced to gain steady posture, health and
lightness in the body. All Yoga postures are intended to directly or
indirectly quiet the mind. The majority of Asana have been devised
to build up different parts of the body and to develop the strength
required by the more advanced Physical
disciplines. The purpose of the yogasana is to recondition the
system, both mind and body, and to develop the nervous and glandular
systems. The different Yoga postures have been devised to bring a
rich supply of blood to the brain and to the various parts of the
spinal column. The yogasana work by stretching, bending and twisting
the spinal column in different directions to promote the health of
the nerves. When the body is purified, Prana (vital energy) can be
conserved and the individual becomes healthy and conscious.-Swami

"YOGA
is a perfect, practical system of self-culture. You can attain
harmonious development of your mind, body and soul by the practice
of Yoga. Yoga is an exact science. You can acquire absolute control
over the whole nature by its practice. It helps the student to
attain ethical perfection, perfect concentration of the mind and to
unfold various psychic powers. It teaches applied psychology. It
helps the practitioner to enter into conscious communion with the
Lord through Samadhi, to separate himself from the three Gunas and
to attain Kaivalya or independence eventually."
