If we understand meaning of yoga, one could indulge in yoga 24 x 7 x 365. Yoga is derived from root word yog which in Hindi means effort of soul atman wanting to yoke with Parmatman (Almighty God)… Brahmin in Hinduism! In Hindi two yog two equals four. Right from six years of age I indulged in contemplation while jogging in morning hours… time of Brahma muhurta. Even while swimming, walking, talking… indulging in business I indulged in contemplation. 31 years indulgence in yoga meditation in the wee hours of third of August 1993 I finally reached God.
Sitting in a meditation room, a yoga retreat… concentrating thoughts on nothing yielded nothing! Yoga meditation means stopping incessant flow of thoughts to our brain in totality. This stage is reached (the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi) when we negate karma to zero forever. The pose of yoga I loved most was shavasna pose of yoga when going to bed in the night! In my subconscious state I projected all my unresolved queries to Lord Krishna and enlightened masters like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana etc. In the morning when I got up… all my queries within had dissolved forever! The next day the same procedure with a new set of queries!
