Yoga is the rule book for playing the game of Life, but in this game no one needs to lose. It is tough, and you need to train hard. It requires the willingness to think for yourself, to observe and correct, and to surmount occasional setbacks. It demands honesty, sustained application, and above all love in your heart.

Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.

Through surrender the aspirant's ego is effaced, and . . . grace . . . pours down upon him like a torrential rain.

I always tell people, live happily and die majestically.

Yoga is meant for the purification of body and its exploration as well as for the refinement of the mind.

When the mind is controlled and still what remains is the soul

Why should you practice Yoga? To kindle the divine fire within yourself. Everyone has a dormant spark of divinity in him which has to be fanned into flame.
