 Yoga, the path to happiness
We all
hear about Yoga, meditation and other similar disciplines or
philosophies. Some of us think it's good exercise and some that it's
good for dealing with stress. Well, actually it is much more.
Yoga is something that can quite literally change your life. It starts
by showing you what is really going on with your life, you see truly
how your body functions, how your energy flows, how your emotions can
be out of control and most importantly how your mind really works. And
then you understand yourself much more. You can suddenly see clearly
why you behave as you do and how blind we are most of the time.
Actually Yoga can do much more for you. It is a system so ancient and
magical, it will touch your soul and transform your perception of
reality; you will be one of the few who can truly see. (as said in Zen:
Satori, which simply means direct vision).
Of course, at this point the biggest question most of you will ask is:
so which Yoga is the real Yoga? I mean, there are so many styles of
Yoga out there, which should I choose?
There is no one answer to this question. Most Yogis (adepts of Yoga)
will obviously vouch for their style. But the question you need to ask
yourself is not which Yoga path is right for you, but actually to look
inside and try to feel your own heart and soul and simply answer this
question: What do I want from my life?
When you ask Why? you will discover that the answer is not as clear as
you thought all along. Because if you are sincere with yourself, you
will realize that most of life's so-called objectives are actually just
cravings of your ego and what you really want in life is something
else. Not a firm sexy body, not a lot of energy, not to be rich and
famous etc. but actually one simple thing: To be truly happy.
That should be the first step. So how does that relate to Yoga? Well,
it does very much. You see, when you truly understand what it is that
we all need and ask for, to be happy, then you can make your choices in
life much easier and with much more clarity. So which Yoga style is
good for you? It is that style of Yoga that when you try it gives you
an inner feeling of touching the heart. That you are finally home.
Agama Yoga is, in my opinion, exactly that kind of Yoga school. I have
seen countless people coming to Agama Yoga school confused, troubled,
angry, pleading for help and after just 1 month of Yoga course turning
into centered and clear minded human beings. It is a little bit like
waking up from a dream (or a nightmare in some cases) and realizing for
the first time what the true purpose of life is. (if you are interested
