Therapeutic Yoga

Yoga maintains that diseases are caused by mental tensions or Adhis.

We have five levels of Being - the Material, the Mental, the Vital, the Intellectual and the Spiritual .

The Fivefold Sheaths that encase the Absolute Self is known as Pancha Koshas. The positive energy from the Blissful Sheath is hindered by mental tensions or Adhis. Because of this block, healing does not take place all of a sudden.

By practising Meditation, one can get rid of Stress and mental tension. Only after removing all Adhis will true healing take place

Union via Wisdom

Union via Wisdom is very difficult. The whole Universe is mirrored in Becoming, in the Universal Mind. The real "I" is the Absolute SELF, who is the witness to all the three relative states. Union with this Self, while we are indulging in mundane activities, is not easy. The waking appears like the dreaming state.

That is why Union via Love is preferred to other systems of Yoga. The way of Love unites one with the Beloved. If we love all in the Universe, then via that Love, we can achieve the Ultimate Union
