Running time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Format: Downloadable DVD

Yoga embraces the entire life of an individual. The goal of Yoga is to feel a beautiful harmony, in every way, with everything we encounter. Swami Satchidananda (Sri  Gurudev) teaches that the true yogi is physically healthy, mentally happy and peaceful and thus becomes truly useful.

All the teachings and practices of Yoga help us to regain the health and happiness that is our essential nature. Real Yoga means to rise above the dualities in life-desires and aversions-so we may maintain our equanimity.

All the Yoga practices, and essentially all spiritual practices, help us to keep the mind clean, calm and serene. These practices help us to gain self-mastery so we may attain success in life and realization of the true Self.

This talk contains everything one needs to know about spiritual life, Yoga practices and Sri Gurudev's philosophy. This highly-praised program is a special favorite among all who've viewed or listened to it (again and again) over the years.
