Yoga is the ultimate science.
Not only can you do all those things that people are wondering about in some of the forum topics, like control your heart beat, regulate appetite, and control body temperature it can do so much more.
Rest assured it IS a science. You really need to look into it to find out about it, and I mean get some traditional information on it.
It is also the ultimate science of the mind and brain and the physical body combined with a truly yogic diet, as well as of life.
You may not want to hear about Me but I have done extensive study into the science of the mind and have reached its ultimate conclusion - Enlightenment - yet there is still MORE!!! There is always More, so you should never be done with your seeking.
This is not preaching, but rather I am using this forum for its set purpose to share with you truly scientific information.
When you look into the science of Religion, you will find it truly is amazing. I am not saying we should leave all other science behind, but we should see religion and modern science as part of the whole to lead humanity forward into its greater destiny.
It is necessary to have knowledge on yoga or it won't be work as it says in the 'Hatha Yoga Pradipika'. So look into it.
There is so much on yoga that I can not begin to explain, but I will say in simple terms that it aligns the body in its proper alignment (this is what it was designed to do (By God)) and opens up the energy system of the human constitution (You may have heard of the mind body connection), among other things. It has infinte benefits and can ultimately achieve the fullest potential for a human being. Peace.
