Description: The word Yoga is used by the Hindu scriptural texts to mean a comprehensive discipline to integrate and concentrate our faculties and direct them to the goal of life, which is presented as realizing the self or realizing the all-pervading Divine Existence or God. Yoga is bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical experience.
