 Yoga, the divine science of life finds its mention in the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagwat Gita. For those who believe Yoga to be nothing more than eastern exercise program are very far from reality. The underlying purpose behind the practice of yoga - the literal meaning of Yoga is `joining' - is to reunite the individual self (Jiva) with the absolute or pure consciousness (Brahma).
The guru Patanjali is considered the Father of Yoga because he systematized the knowledge of previous sages and collected this in the form of a manuscript called the Yogasutras or aphorisms of Patanajali. The method he described is called Ashtanga Yoga or the 8-fold path to self-realization, which is the ultimate aim of yoga. The eight aspects of Yoga according to Patanjali are Disciplined Behavior (Yama), Self Purification (Niyama), Bodily Posture (Asana), Breath control (pranayama), Sensual control (Pratyahara), Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana), and an Absolute state of tranquility and eternity (Samadhi).
