Is Yoga a Physical Exercise or a Spiritual Practice? - Sanya Malhotra asks Swamiji
In this video, Swami Mukundananda answers an important question with regards to Yoga in conversation with Bollywood Actress and a Yoga Practioner, Sanya Malhotra. Is Yoga a Physical Exercise or a Spiritual Practice? The aim of Yoga is for us to attain Yog or the union of the individual soul with the Supreme Soul.
While Yoga is definitely beneficial for our physical well being, we should not limit Yoga as a means of physical exercise, but think of it as a spiritual practice that keeps our body, mind, and soul in complete harmony. Therefore when we practice Yoga, we must always give importance to the big picture, which is to attain Yog or Union with Supreme Soul and attain the everlasting bliss.

Patanjali Yogasutra says "Yogashchittavrittinirodhah". Yoga is meant to remove all the impurities of the mind and enable us to connect to the universe consciously. Wonderful conversation and excellent reply from Swamiji as usual. Radhey Radhey Govinda Radhey.
In Patanjali Yoga sutras, sage Patanjali says Yoga means union of Jivātmā (individual self or soul) with Paramātmā (Cosmic self).

A very good discussion between Swamiji and Sanya. If a busy individual like Sanya can take out time for her yoga everyday then so can we all take some time out to do our Yoga and sadhana. We all know Swamiji preaches what he practices.

So true Dale, Sanya's sentiments about Yoga are beautiful. Swamiji's point is that Yoga is not an ordinary exercise regime and many people feel centered or neutral or healed in a holistically after practicing it regularly is a testament to that fact. I've heard that if one breathes deeply one cannot be stressed or panicked at the same time.

Never heard this definition of Yoga! So Yoga is not just another form of physical exercise. Thanks so much!
Spiritual Growth is the main purpose of yoga practice
I’ve been doing Hatha yoga. I would guess she practices Hinduism. She is spiritual so she incorporates this into our practice. We pay a lot of attention to our breathing. She teaches us the Sanskrit for our positions. I feel I am building great strength inward and outward. If you pay attention, it’s also meditation. My instructor incorporates asanas and pranayama (I’m still learning so excuse my spelling). She is outstanding at helping us stay in the correct posture. She talks about energy flow or prana and our shakti. She constantly reminds us to breathe. I love her! She’s really great. My yoga inspired me to study Hinduism 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Swamiji beautifully explains that yoga means union with the higher consciousness which can be achieved through the practice of asans and pranayams. Sanya also answers how she stays active on her fitness regimen. Nice!

Watch this video if you want to know if yoga is a physical or spiritual science. Very engaging conversation between Swamiji and the Bollywood beauty with brains! Thank you for having the Spirit of Yoga!
Yoga, first of all, refers to a state of union of the individual consciousness with the whole, the universal consciousness. Secondly, it also refers to a set of transformative techniques and methodologies to harmonize our personality at the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels,so that we may achieve that union.
In the yoga system Asanas occupies the third step Anyone without mastering the earlier steps of Yama and Niyama with it's subdivisions , Asanas will be only body bending ,or at best good health
Thank you Maharajji!

Why is the world still so closed minded that this type of stuff is not included as core material in primary and middle schools. Scientists know how the mind works now, then they should apply that understanding and ensure good habits and spiritual knowledge are imparted with a higher priority than all other streams of knowledge. Do you agree?
