One of the greatest treasures
of Indian culture and tradition is the science of Yog. The Vedic Scriptures
define Yog as “The Union of the soul with the Supreme is called Yog” (Garud
Puran).
The achievement of such a Union with God
requires the collective development of various aspects of our personality.
We must thus learn the art of attaining perfect health of body, mind,
intellect, and soul. This
requires a healthy blend of
spiritual and material sciences.
"Yoga" is becoming increasingly
popular around the world. However, in the name of "yoga" merely asanas, or
physical exercises, are being taught. These are no doubt helpful, but
without emphasis on the purification of the mind, their effectiveness in
curing physical diseases is limited, and mental diseases remain ignored and
untouched.
Jagadguru Kripalu Yog
incorporates both material and spiritual knowledge for the complete
physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual health of humankind.
