WHAT IS YOGA
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.

WHAT IS MEDITATION
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.

WHAT IS SUDHARSHAN KRIYA

WHAT IS AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of natural and holistic medicine. When translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means "the science of life" (the Sanskrit root Ayur means "longevity" or "life" and veda means "science").
While allopathic medicine tends to focus on the management of disease, Ayurveda bestows us with the knowledge of how to prevent disease and how to eliminate its root cause if it does occur

ESSENCE OF ALL RELIGIONS IS SPIRITUALITY
All religions, be it Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism or Jainism, have three aspects: values, rituals and symbols. Moral and spiritual values are common to all traditions, and the symbols and practices - those rituals and customs that form a way of life within a religion are what distinguish one tradition from another and give each of them their charm! The symbols and practices are like a banana skin, and the spiritual values - the quest for truth and awareness of our divinity - are the banana. However, people in every tradition have thrown away the banana and are holding onto the skin.
