Yoga embodies the most important features of oriental lifestyle.
Vedantists, Buddhists, Jains, Saktas and others have accepted the fundamental principles of yoga as the basis of healthy living.
Yoga is a practical science for the emancipation of the self from ignorance and suffering.
True human nature is divine, perfect and infinite. We are unaware of our divinity, we feel imperfect, falsely identifying ourselves with our body, mind and the objects around us, subjected to sorrows, decay and death. This happens due to avidya (ignorance). When we overcome ignorance, we are relieved of our sorrows.
