Yoga
The term "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit word «Yuj» meaning "unite." Yoga is a means to awaken the latent potential within and thus gradually approach the ultimate goal of life, which is self-realization, transcendence, liberation. Life and life’s work of Swami Sivamurti are a constant reminder that esoteric sciences are not just philosophies pertaining to an outdated past, but contemporary and of vital importance to this day and age.
