Yoga is the Real Outline of Self-Realization

Abstract

Yoga is much more beneficial than physical exercise. It is a comprehensive spiritual science. It helps the practitioner to undergo deep inner transformation. At the same time, it tries to lead to the ultimate realization of the true self. Through this research paper, the path of self-realization of yoga has been explored from classical texts like Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and modern interpretations like Yogananda, Akhand Yoga, Jana Yoga. The basic principles of the rules like asana, pranayama, varta, kontakta, meditation follow the eight limbs. Samadhi becomes yoga when a person helps to overcome the restless mind. It dissolves the patterns like cittavriti, klesha. As a man, it helps to feel oneness with the universal consciousness at all times. Knowledge as knowledge, action as selfless action need to be understood. In fact, yoga increases inner stability, mental resilience, higher self-awareness. Yogananda's Kriya Yoga's pranayama and meditation techniques show the possibility of accelerated spiritual awakening.
