This blog articulates around what yoga is, why yoga, a comparison between yoga and other forms of exercise, all the Eight Components of Yoga, and how the people in ancient India used yogic methods & gained yogic experiences to elevate themselves from their present state to an elevated state, i.e., from man to Brahmarshi.
It is possible for each one of us to transform ourselves from our present state to the next state (elevated state) through a dedicated & consistent practice of yoga in its true sense, encompassing all 8 limbs. Yoga helps us gain control over not only BODY but also MIND. Yoga combines body & mind, the visible & the invisible. It is interesting to note that the invisible (mind) drives the visible (body).

The Bhagavad Gita refers to the quality of prana in different foods by categorizing them as sattwic, rajasic and tamasic (17:8–10).
In recent times, a method was developed by André Simonéton in France for establishing the pranic value of food.
He used a simple pendulum on a piece of string, like that used by water diviners for dowsing, for this purpose.
The subtle radiations emitted by organic matter affect the motion of a pendulum, causing it to swing and spin. By measuring the distance of a pendulum’s arc, and the speed of its spin, Simonéton was able to measure specific wavelengths, which indicate the intrinsic vitality and relative freshness of different foods.
