In the Indian   yogic culture, the first yogic Guru or the Adi Guru is regarded as Lord Shiva. Shiva in yogic practice is known as the relentless mediator and is depicted as sitting in elongated state of deep serene in an undisturbed meditation. The ideal Yogi Shiva with his spiritual practices, encased amidst his incredible spiritual abilities has offered the concept of yoga a celestial tinge.

In the history of Yoga, the term Yoga was probably first used in the Rigveda, then in the Yajurveda and Atharvaveda and also in such later Vedic works as the Satapath. Since nature is the base for these Upanishads, so it is certainly not an overstatement to say that the technique of yoga such as asana and kriyas developed from nature. Meditation on the sacred syllable OM and the idea of controlling the respiratory system as an aid to the process of meditation seems also to belong to the very early period.

WHAT IS YOGA?


many people are taking up yoga techniques for physical exercise, and most don’t know the history of yoga.They believe there is nothing wrong with implementing this form of exercise into their daily regiment to promote a more healthy body. the practice of yoga is much more than a system of physical exercise for health. Yoga is an ancient path to spiritual growth, and originates out of India where Induism is practiced. The practice and goal of yoga dates back to the Upanishads, written between 1000-5000 BC.



The history of yoga is based in the Indus Valley civilization. The techniques are practiced by the Indus to initiate spiritual growth. The yogis encourage union with the finite jiva (transitory self) and with the infinite Brahman (eternal self). Brahman is a term used by the Hindus to mean “God.” So, what are we supposed to unite with? Yogis usually think of God as an impersonal, spiritual substance, coexisting with all of reality. This doctrine is called pantheism which is the view that everything is God. In the Bible, God reveals Himself as the personal Creator of the universe.
Since it is taught by the yogis that everything is God, it then stands to reason, man is God. Christianity, on the other hand, teaches us there is a clear distinction between man and God. Since God is the Creator, we are one of his creations and created “in the image” of God.
