Lakulish Institute of Yoga

 

Yoga – The Oldest Known Science

Yoga is the most ancient science of India. It is the science of physical, mental and spiritual development. It is a scientific technique for the all-round development of human personality. In fact it constitutes the most important aspects of human life. Hence it can be said to be a science as ancient as mankind.

 

Yoga - The Essence of Human Existence

Yoga can bring about a fundamental transformation in an individual. Through yoga a closer contact with the inner unlimited reservoir of pure and subtle Energy can be established and thereby one’s true and universal nature can be identified. Through its methodical practice one can obtain deep and intimate knowledge about one’s own Self and develop into a fully evolved being. Yoga can affect one’s inner life by expanding awareness and raising the level of consciousness. By way of unfolding the higher potentialities of the mind and the heart, yoga enriches practically all aspects of human life. Thus yoga orientates life towards the realization of the perennial values of human existence.

 

Universality of Yoga

It will be a misnomer to identify yoga with any religion or a dogma. It is not a religion since it is non-sectarian in principles and universal in application. Nor is it a dogma, since it is a scientific process of inner evolution bringing about the growth or expansion of consciousness. Yoga is the path leading from darkness to Light, from ignorance to Knowledge and from illusion to Reality. Therefore it is for all seekers of truth, irrespective of their religions. The yogic way of life is meant for the all mankind. That is why yoga has produced a profound impact on people all over the world irrespective of their race, religion of nationality.
