The ancient science of Yoga
A spiritual discourse on the science of yoga, human consciousness, and self-realization.
"Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul. It is the science of the human body."
"Yoga is the best for your life. You can do it for your health, for concentration, for some diseases, for happiness—many things."
A spiritual teacher addresses an audience, explaining yoga as a holistic science for human development. He discusses the uniqueness of human consciousness, tells a parable about faith and surrender to God, and outlines the Vedic concept of creation. The talk delves into yogic anatomy, including the 72,000 nerves, the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā), and the journey of the Kuṇḍalinī energy through the cakras. He clarifies misconceptions about Haṭha Yoga, demonstrates simple energy and circulation exercises for the hands, and encourages integrating practice into daily life.
