Meaning of Yoga

The simplest literal meaning of yoga is "to have communion."

We are always in yoga with someone or something.

The remembrance. Spirituality is the art and science of remembrance.

Remembrance requires introduction remembrance requires relation.

Remembrance requires love. Remembrance is there automatically where there is inheritance.

Yoga is what yoga does and it does different things for different people at different stages. What yoga does for me now is what yoga is isn’t it?

Yoga has a lot meaning what an individual can think of. many saints have defined yoga

chittavrriti nirodha,atha yoga anushashanam etc.

Control of all the chitta vrittis, is Yoga. Ved vyas in gita says ‘Samatvam Yoga Uchyate’

Yoga means ‘neutral feelings towards achievement or non-achievement,’

Again he says ‘yogah karmasu kaushalam’

Yoga means ‘highest achievement in the action’

Action should be carried out with all the efforts to achieve results.

Again he says ‘Dukhah Sanyoga Viyogam yogasangitam’

‘ A life style which keeps the mind away from the attachment to the misery is known as yoga’

It seems that there is no single meaning or definition of yoga even in our ancient literature.
