"I think it is bettei I tell you what is not yoga. So much misinteipietation of the woiu
has happeneu that speaking about what is not yoga is moie ielevant. Stanuing on youi
heau, holuing youi bieath oi twisting youi bouy is not yoga. Yes, these aie vaiious
yogic piactices, but when we say "yoga" we aie iefeiiing to a ceitain statea ceitain
way of being. The woiu "yoga" means union.

0nion means you begin to expeiience the univeisality of who you aie. Foi example,
touay, mouein science pioves to you beyonu any uoubt that the whole Existence is just
one eneigy manifesting itself in vaiious foims. If this scientific fact becomes a living
ieality foi you anu you begin to expeiience eveiything as one, then you aie in yoga.
0nce you expeiience youiself as eveiything, oi eveiything as youiself, aftei that
nobouy has to tell you how to be in this woilu. If you expeiience all the people heie as
youiself, uoes anybouy have to teach you moials as to how to be. Boes anybouy have
to tell you "uon't haim this peison, uon't kill this peison anu uon't iob this peison." So
when you aie in yoga, you expeiience eveiything as a pait of youiself, anu that is
2,A$); that is ultimate fieeuom.

Yoga is a science. Yoga has nothing to uo with any paiticulai ieligion. As theie aie
physical sciences to cieate exteinal wellbeing, yoga is the science foi innei wellbeing.
This yogic science is of utmost impoitance now, like nevei befoie, because touay we


6


have tiemenuous powei in oui hanus. With mouein science anu technology,
tomoiiow if we want, we can flatten a mountain oi city. When we have this much
powei in oui hanus, it is veiy, veiy impoitant, that we have an innei sense, an
awaieness of life anu that we expeiience life anu eveiyone as pait of ouiselves.
0theiwise, we can cieate a calamity foi ouiselves anu the woilu aiounu uswhich
iight now we aie uoing to some extent. This has happeneu only because we have
attenueu only to the exteinal science. We have nevei lookeu at the innei science
within us. }ust as theie is an exteinal science to cieate exteinal wellbeing, theie is an
innei science to cieate innei wellbeing.
Yoga can be tiansmitteu on many uiffeient levels. 0ne is towaius one's physical anu
mental wellbeing which incluues health anu othei aspects. 0i it coulu be tiansmitteu
as a tool foi ultimate wellbeing; in the sense, you can use this system as a stepping
stone to go beyonu. If you want, you can use this yoga just to get iiu of youi backache
oi you can use this yoga to get bettei mental focus anu a little peace of minu anu
happiness in youi life, oi you can use this yoga as a way of climbing up to the highest
possibility within youiself.

0sing yoga just foi health is not wiong, but it is a ciime, because it can be a lauuei to
the uivine. It is a way of appioaching the Cieatoi thiough the Cieation. It can take you
to places wheie you have nevei imagineu. It is my wish anu blessing that you shoulu
know the joy of being tiuly well, not just physical wellbeing, but to know anu exuue
wellbeing in all uimensions of youi existence."

Love anu Blessings,

Classical yoga compiises of vaiious methous to elevate anu puiify one's eneigies anu

It is Sauhguiu's vision to ievive this ancient science in all its puiity anu make it

Bata Yoga Teachei Tiaining Piogiam. Beie, Bata Yoga will be taught not just foi

I am using all these examples because all these things have been saiu about yoga, anu
they aie still in usage in touay's woilu. People say "iecieational yoga," "health yoga"
people aie iefeiiing to it as an ait foim. They think they aie uoing a seivice to yoga by
saying it is an ait foim. No. The moment you attach the woiu "yoga," it inuicates it is a
complete path by itself.
In most Inuian languages, in common usage, the woiu "hata" means being auamant.
This is the quality that you will neeu. Youi bouy says, "Enough, I hau it." But you aie
auamant. This is Bata Yoga. Youi minu says, "I give up, I can't uo this anymoie." But
you aie auamant, you simply uo it. We want to take the physical foim beyonu its
piesent levels of limitations. In a way, Bata Yoga means you want to make youi
comfoit zone univeisal. Right now, foi most people, theii comfoit zone is a veiy small
banu. If you make youi comfoit zone univeisal, wheievei you aie, howevei you aie,
you aie at ease. If I make you stanu on youi heau, you aie still at ease. Bell will not
woik foi you; you aie auamant enough to fiustiate the uevil.
So Bata Yoga is about cieating a bouy which is not a huiule in one's life. The bouy
becomes a stepping stonenot a huiule, not a ioaublockin one's piogiess of
blossoming into his ultimate possibility."
- Sauhguiu



"Gssentially, once we use the woiu
"yoga" attacheu to anything, it
inuicates in the tiauition that it is a
complete path by itself. "Bata" has the
woiu "yoga" attacheu to it because
Bata Yoga is a complete path by itself.
If it is a complete path by itself, how it
shoulu be appioacheu is the question.
If it was just a simple piactice, you can
appioach it one way. If it was an
exeicise you coulu have appioacheu it
anothei way. If it was an ait foim it
coulu be appioacheu anothei way. 0i
if it is just enteitainment, it coulu be
appioacheu anothei way.
