Seeing the God
A spiritual discourse on the science and meaning of yoga.
"Yoga means oneness. Yoga means merging. Two in one."
"And so, where are we? How is our brain developing? Definitely, in the last few centuries, the human brain is developing and developing, and we are getting more and more and more. But still, in the human body, is the science."
The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, explores the ancient science of yoga as a path to union and self-realization. He discusses the nature of consciousness, the human journey among 8.4 million life forms, and the limitations of conventional science compared to inner yogic research. Key themes include the search for "Who am I?", the structure of chakras and the nervous system, and the ultimate goal of merging individual consciousness with the Supreme (Śiva). Practical advice is given for daily, systematic practice involving relaxation, postures, pranayama, and meditation, alongside natural skincare recommendations.
