THE AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF YOGA
The
Principal Aim of Yoga
The primary goal of yoga is the
purification of the body, mind, and soul, as it involves a comprehensive
process of cleansing. Regarded as a science of purification, yoga comprises no
fewer than six distinct forms, each targeting a specific type of impurity. The
cleansing of these impurities allows the nadis, or energy channels, to function
properly, releasing long-blocked energies. This release manifests as electrical
frequencies coursing through the body. For instance, performing the Mahamudra
for Kundalini awakening, which involves striking the heels at the base of the
spinal column, generates electrical energy that vibrates through the body up to
the head and some of the practitioners also feel that hundreds of ants are climbing
from coccyx to head. However, it is essential to learn and practice this pose
under the guidance of a Siddha Guru. Often referred to as Bhoot Suddhi (body
cleansing), this practice is not merely therapeutic but intended for more
advanced practitioners.
The
Objective of Yoga
Yoga serves as an introductory
practice for Tantra, Raja Yoga, and Kriya Yoga and has proven effective in
treating various incurable diseases. Its fundamental objective is to achieve a
harmonious balance in the physical body, mind, and energy interactions. This
balance stimulates the Sushumna Nadi, the central energy channel, awakening
human consciousness. The true purpose of yoga is lost if it is not utilized for
attaining higher consciousness. Therefore, it is vital to seize the opportunity
presented by yoga to understand ourselves, our origins, and our life's purpose.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the aim and objective of yoga are
deeply rooted in the process of purification and the pursuit of higher
consciousness. By cleansing the body, mind, and soul, and harmoniously
balancing the physical, mental, and energetic aspects of our being, yoga
facilitates a profound awakening and understanding of our true nature and
purpose in life.
