YOGA THE DEFINITION DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

YOGA IS A POWERFUL INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN

individual consciousness and cosmic consciousness

individual soul and universal soul

a being; and God

the cores; of all the beings

aspirations of all the beings

the ‘cause’ of the universe and the universe

he ‘cause’ of the past, present and future; and rest of the time, space, energy, matter and consciousness

the contingent and the field

spirit (soul), intelligence, emotions, instincts and metabolic activities in different systems of body

holistic perspective, thinking, emotions, instincts and actions

cognition, affect and conation

spiritual, cognitive, affective, psychomotor and productive domains

holistic approach; and analytical, synthetic, reductionist and other approaches

holistic activities aimed at holistic health; in all the fields of life

two sides of brain

reason and intuition

cerebral cortex, limbic system, autonomic nervous system, neuroendocrine system, endocrine system and the metabolic activities

the immortalizing ocean of ambrosia viz. NAMA; and the process of NAMASMARAN going on in billions of individuals

the VISION and REALIZATION; of SUPERLIVING, HOLISTIC RENAISSANCE, TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT or individual and universal blossoming

This is only a frail attempt of its definition; as YOGA is beyond description
