About Kiran
Yoga, originating in ancient India, is a holistic practice that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines. It is based on philosophical principles found in texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita, and was systematized in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Here's an expanded view on the core knowledge of yoga:
1. Philosophy and History
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Written around 400 CE, these texts codify the practice of yoga into eight limbs (Ashtanga), emphasizing ethical conduct, meditation, and self-realization.
The Bhagavad Gita: A dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Krishna, it discusses paths of yoga (Karma, Bhakti, Jnana) as ways to achieve liberation (moksha).
Upanishads: Ancient philosophical texts that explore the connection between the individual soul (Atman) and the universal consciousness (Brahman).
Vedas: The oldest Hindu scriptures, where the earliest references to yoga as a spiritual practice are found.
2. The Eight Limbs of Yoga (Ashtanga Yoga)
