Yoga helps in realizing the true happiness. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word “Yug’ which means union with the Divine. Yoga also helps to attain freedom or enlight?enment. However yoga has a number of secondary goals such as physical health, mental harmony and emotional balance. As a whole, Yoga unlocks full human potential in every individual. Through ages, people have benefited by practicing yoga and Sages have attained highest spiritual levels by practicing yoga. The re?emergence of Yoga, suggests that yoga has relevance even today, for each and everyone from a child to an aged one. Yoga keeps fit and cures many diseases. Yoga Types: There are various types of yoga. But all of them lead to the same goal that is unification with the Divine. Bhakti yoga (“Yoga of Devotion”) is the path of devotion (to the Divine). It is pure selfless love from the heart. A bhakti yogi feels that whenever he thinks of God, God thinks more of him. A relationship between a Bhakta and God can never be described in words. Karma yoga (“Yoga of Action”) is the path of selfless service. For a karma yogi, the activities of human life is a God given opportunity to serve Him. He does not feel that the world is an illusion, does not encounter the ego given ‘highs’ of success or the ‘lows’ of failure. Thus a karma yogi is detached while carrying out his duties on the earth. Karma Yoga can also be summed up in a statement by Sri Bhagavan Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita: “Worshipping Him with proper actions, a man attains realization”. One key to Karma Yoga is the performance of right action and service for its own sake, without consideration of the immediate or apparent results. Dhyana yoga (“Yoga of Wisdom”) is the path of knowledge. A dhyana yogi wants to understand the transcendental truth. He wants to solve the mystery of birth, death andthe purpose of life. Dhyana Yoga is the yoga of the philosopher and thinker who wants to go beyond the visible, material reality. The Dhyana Yogi finds God through,’ knowledge. Dhyana Yoga is summed up in the Upanishads by the following statement: “In the method of reintegration through knowledge, the mind is ever bound to the ultimate end of existence which is liberation This method leads to all attainments and is ever auspicious.” Hatha Yoga (Forceful Yoga): It is a yoga concerned with physical and energetic purification and training. Its goal is to bring the physical body into a perfect state of health so the soul has a fitting vehicle of expression to work through. It embraces many practices, including physical postures and breathing exercises (pranayama) which also act upon the physical nervous system and etheric body which is considered a corollary aspect of the physical body and brings the vital energies of the physical and etheric bodies under conscious control. Raja yoga (“Royal Yoga”) is a science. There is no unconditional faith required. It is similar to a person who would go to the doctor for illness, and take the medicine the doctor gives with a faith that it will cure him. If he followed all the doctor’s orders but still wasn’t cured then it is the fault of the doctor and not that of the patient. Kundalini yoga: Most of the saints have agreed that the culmination of the Kundalini Shakti is essential for enlightenment. Various types of raja yogas (including siddha yoga, kriya yoga, laya yoga, sahaja yoga etc.) end with the activation and culmination of the kundalini shakti at the crown chakra. They may be referred to as Kundalini yoga. Kundalini is the dormant energy which lies at the base of spine. Practicing Yoga helps the individual in various methods like: Personality Development by which one can attain peace of mind, Boost self-confidence, and gain more energy for work, Freedom from Habits like smoking, drinking etc., Stress relief to overcome tensions of work, Competition: There is a lot of competition in the education life of every student nowaday.
