Most religions emphasize this spiritual path because it is the most natural. As with other yoga's, the goal of the Bhakta, the devotee of God, is to attain oneness with the Divine. The Bhakta attains this through the force of love, that most powerful and irresistible of emotions. It is nothing else than following the First Commandment which says: "to love God with all your heart, mind and soul." </span></span></p><p><span style="color: fuchsia"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">This is the Yoga of selfless love, compassion, humility, purity and the desire and serious intention to merge with God. It is in our day to day life that Bhakti Yoga is truly practiced. Are we loving, compassionate and fair in our dealings with others? Jesus stated the ideal of Bhakti Yoga when he taught, "As you have loved me, love one another." When true love reigns, there can be no barriers; then harmony and fulfillment rule. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: fuchsia"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Hatha Yoga </span></span><span style="color: fuchsia"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: fuchsia"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: fuchsia"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Hatha Yoga generally includes a series of "Asanas" or "postures" combined with breathing exercises. Its original purpose was to create the physical strength, stamina and concentration necessary for effective meditation, i.e.: provide a path to a spiritual life. Today most Americans practice Hatha Yoga for the unique sense of health and well being it provides, without reference to its spiritual content. Even so, Hatha Yoga is not an ordinary stretching and toning exercise. The focus and discipline provide a sense of inner as well as outer balance. Hatha Yoga itself can be a path to enlightenment. Meanwhile modern medicine is busy researching the extraordinary health benefits produced by these 5,000 year old practice. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Technical'">You can take a horse to water but cannot make him drink it.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Technical'">I am not advocating any asanas here.

Most religions emphasize this spiritual path because it is the most natural. As with other yoga's, the goal of the Bhakta, the devotee of God, is to attain oneness with the Divine. The Bhakta attains this through the force of love, that most powerful and irresistible of emotions. It is nothing else than following the First Commandment which says: "to love God with all your heart, mind and soul." [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=fuchsia][FONT=Arial]This is the Yoga of selfless love, compassion, humility, purity and the desire and serious intention to merge with God. It is in our day to day life that Bhakti Yoga is truly practiced. Are we loving, compassionate and fair in our dealings with others? Jesus stated the ideal of Bhakti Yoga when he taught, "As you have loved me, love one another." When true love reigns, there can be no barriers; then harmony and fulfillment rule. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=fuchsia][FONT=Arial]Hatha Yoga [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=fuchsia][FONT=Arial] Hatha Yoga generally includes a series of "Asanas" or "postures" combined with breathing exercises. Its original purpose was to create the physical strength, stamina and concentration necessary for effective meditation, i.e.: provide a path to a spiritual life. Today most Americans practice Hatha Yoga for the unique sense of health and well being it provides, without reference to its spiritual content. Even so, Hatha Yoga is not an ordinary stretching and toning exercise. The focus and discipline provide a sense of inner as well as outer balance. Hatha Yoga itself can be a path to enlightenment. Meanwhile modern medicine is busy researching the extraordinary health benefits produced by these 5,000 year old practice.
