Sampoorna Yoga Ashram

We are the spirit, Soul or Atman, which is Divinity or fullness itself. The Atman, which is also referred to as the Self, is functioning through the vehicles of body, senses, mind, intellect and ego to experience the world of objects, emotions and thoughts. The Self is pure, complete and full, and does not need to be developed. It is only the vehicles through which it functions that need to be refined, purified and maintained in a balanced state so that the light of the pure Self can shine through in all its Divine splendor. Yoga is the state that is reached when one experiences the Divine Self without any conditioning or limitation. That experience takes place when all the vehicles are refined, purified and in a state of balance. When the Yogi sits in meditation, his mind becomes steady, calm and peaceful and as a result, he identifies with his Divine Self.
