Why is Yoga essential in one's life?

The Sanskrit word, Yoga, means union with God. As can be judged from the meaning, yoga is the divine knowledge gaining which a human can be transformed into a divine. Yoga is a perfect antidote to bhoga or over-indulgence of biological needs. Armed with ancient yoga, the great sages plumbed the depths of the worlds within. These ‘atmanauts’ studied the infinity of inner space and made dazzling discoveries. This is the power of true yoga. Or in simple words, yoga can be defined as a practice to promote control over mind and body.

Importance Of Yoga:
As you may also have faced that the world is moving at an extremely fast pace and either willingly or not, we all have been made the part of this rat race going on in this world and if we want to succeed in life, we have to keep running, if we will stop, we will be left behind and no one will bother us.                                                     Consequently, the stress in our lives has been increased. We have become restless. Our minds have been caught in a web of tensions and worries and our body is degrading day by day. So, what needs to be done? Continuing in this way, won’t lead you anywhere. Moving on this path would surely lead you to the dead end and the only solution or remedy to this can be the internal happiness and satisfaction which you can achieve by practicing Yoga.
