Yoga Extraordinary in Natural Living

Sri Anand Yoga (SAY) is a Yoga of Life. It is not restricted to some Yogasana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises), Chanting of names or Mantra or any such thing traditionally and popularly associated with the label ‘Yoga’. To properl

y understand SAY, one needs first to throw off all these preconceived notions of Yoga and go to the roots of the original concept of Yoga in Indian ancient tradition. Yoga is a methodised effort towards self-perfection by the expression of the secret potentialities latent in the being. It is trying to achieve a union of the human individual with the universal and transcendent existence. Lord Krishna has said in Bhagavad Gita ‘Yogah karmasu kaushalam’ meaning Yoga is achieving ultimate skill or expertise in whatever one does.

Humanity is in the evolutionary process of gradually unfolding the divine being dwelling in each human being. The divinity within is in the process of self revelation through many births. Yoga is a rapid and concentrated evolution of being which can effect in single life time instead of many births it would normally have taken through natural evolution. The future potentialities of humanity will be realised now through Yoga. SAY is a systematic and organised process of Yoga to realise the full potentialities of human beings, here and now, in a happy and joyful manner and realise the divinity dwelling inside every human being and live in it in a constant and consistent flow of life.

SAY draws its inspiration and guidance on the concept of Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. In a way, SAY tries to connect the dots as specified in Integral Yoga. Integral Yoga lays down a conceptual outline in an elaborate detail of the integral evolution of man through an all round comprehensive Yogic System. However it does not give any specific details of the methods and practices for realising it. In SAY we are trying to do precisely that.

SAY is a multi-disciplinary approach in Yoga. It involves physical, mental as well as spiritual aspects. It is based on the scientific facts and spiritual realities. But it also goes beyond them. We have presented in separate categories these two aspects - Scientific Facts and Spiritual Science. Then we have presented the practical aspects of SAY.

It needs to be clarified here that SAY does not involve any religious aspect of any religion. It does not require you to adhere to any religious belief. It does not involve any chanting of any mantra or doing any religious ritual. It does not involve Pranayama as per the Rishi Patanjali. It also does not involve any Yogasana as you have most likely come across in Yoga classes. Keep your mind blank of any preconceived ideas and notions of yoga when you try to understand and practice SAY. Then only will you be able to fully comprehend this most simple and at the same time most profound and powerful yoga of harnessing the natural POWERS AND POTENTIALITIES latent in every man. It involves connecting to the Universal INFINITE RESERVOIR OF ABUNDANCE and drawing from it in unrestrained flow. It results in a BALANCED STATE OF GOOD HEALTH which is NATURALLY BESTOWED to every human being, but lost in the process of his living.

Though the results of SAY may appear to be magical, there is nothing magical about it. If it were so, it would defeat the very core purpose of SAY. The results of SAY are the most NATURAL AND SIMPLE outcomes as per the principles of LIFE SCIENCE. Our job in SAY is to re-discover this lost key to the treasure of joyful living in abundance.
