Yoga is Secular and Universal: A Way to Think Beyond

https://www.kaivalyayogaschool.com/

Yoga, has become a buzzword internationally after the historical declaration by the Prime Minister of India Narender Modi to celebrate 21st June as International Yoga Day. We can now see more acceptance and love for yoga in all cultures and nationalities.

If you are driven to attain a complete good health, not only physical but mental also and you want to work with your body at cellular level, then yoga is a right platform for you. Yoga is not about one particular religion or one particular school of thought. If we observe closely, yoga is all about a life style and a perfect blend of science and spirituality.

Yoga is a science that can channelize your subconscious mind to listen to you. You can be master of your own body, mind and soul with the art of yoga. This particular truth is what it needs to be emphasized and enough to explain the universalism aspect of yoga. i.e. yoga is universal and for everyone who aspire to find true potential within them.

It doesn’t teach you to become devotee of any particular religion but it surely aims to teach you to be devotee of your inner self or we can say your higher self. Yoga has brought people from different nations, culture, religion, language, age group at one platform where they can celebrate this art of balancing and share with others as well.

The other flavor of universalism in yoga is inbuilt by the virtue of its approach.  It can be well said that a man who beautifies his body, mind and soul also beautifies other aspect of his life like his personal and professional relations, his career, social contacts and other aspects of his life. In a way, he becomes capable of beautifying his whole universal aspect of his own being.

This flavor of universalism is rejoiced by those who dares to think beyond the limitations of physical dimension and who love to challenge themselves to enhance their self core with the help of this beautiful science. We can go on and on, if we look at more aspects of universalism in yoga as yoga is a gift to human being where science meets spirituality and spirituality meets science.
