Yoga: A Path to Wellness
International Yoga Day, celebrated on June 21, is dedicated to promoting the ancient practice of yoga and embracing yoga’s benefits for physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual balance. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word “yuj”, meaning “to unite”. The practice aims to create a union between body, mind, and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are widely considered the foundational text in the philosophy and practice of yoga. Composed of 196 short verses (or “sutras”), this ancient guide offers timeless wisdom on the nature of the mind, the purpose of yoga, and the path to inner freedom. Known as the ‘Eight Limbs of Yoga,’ this path offers a guide for individuals who wish to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga.
Bhavan’s Library has a wide collection of books on various aspects of yoga in multiple languages. These books will inspire you and teach you something new about yourself, yoga, and life. Whether through asanas, meditation, or mindful living, let this Day be an inspiration for positive change.
