There is only one reality
A spiritual discourse on the origins and essence of yoga.
"Yoga is beyond any religion. Yoga is not a part of religion, but all religion is a part of yoga."
"Yoga is that science of body, mind, and soul. Keep the harmony between body, mind, and soul."
Swami Avatarpuri Ji gives an introductory talk at a temple, offering a glimpse into yoga's cosmic beginnings. He describes the primordial state of endless space (śūnyākāśa) and consciousness, the emergence of divine energy (yoga), and the manifestation of creation through sound and light. He explains the human role within the 8.4 million life forms, the law of karma, and presents yoga as a practical science for harmonizing body, mind, and soul to realize the divine self.
