Exploration of Yoga Forms and Spiritual Dimensions
Yoga encompasses various forms such as Hatha yoga, which focuses on physical exercises known as asanas and is commonly associated with physical fitness in the West. However, serious Hindus view this perception as cultural theft because true yoga is about living a devoted life to unite with God, the ultimate reality called Brahman. Yoga, originating from the Sanskrit word 'yoga' meaning yoke, implies union with the divine. Kundalini yoga, on the other hand, is at the opposite end of the spectrum and combines breath control, devotion, ridding negative karma, mental disciplines, and esoteric methods to awaken the Kundalini power for supernatural experiences and quick self-realization.
