Exploring the Depths of True Yoga Beyond Asanas

Send us a textIn this episode of The Bearded Mystic Podcast, host Rahul N Singh delves into the profound philosophy of yoga beyond the physical postures (asanas). He discusses the true meaning of yoga, which is to be in union with formless awareness or Brahman. Rahul explains key concepts from the Upanishads, including the yamas (ethical restraints) and niyamas (personal observances), and the significance of the four Mahavakyas (great sayings). The episode emphasizes integrating this wisdom into daily life to achieve a state of oneness and Jeevan Mukti (liberation while alive). Rahul also highlights the importance of true knowledge (jnana), meditation (dhyana), devotion (bhakti), and selfless action (karma) in realizing one's true nature.
