Yoga enables us to have a glimpse of core unity in diversity. Truth, divinity and beauty are the core principles in which this universe in woven. Outward differences can be celebrated when the essential unity is appreciated. Live forms don’t come with a user manual unlike other gadgets we are used to. Sages of our past, were the inner engineers who gave us an internal science in the form of Ashtanga Yoga which transcends time and geography. Practice of yoga, is a process of self-awareness as opposed to self-discovery. More than an external search it is an inner journey. It is an experiential truth beyond the techniques.
