Concept of God in Yoga

PATANJALI accepts there are several paths to attaining liberation; concentration is not the only path. In this talk we reach a point in the Yoga Sutras where Patanjali introduces the idea of God.

Brahman (God) in Vedanta is without any name, form or attributes and hence cannot create or destroy the universe.

Iswara or the personified God is Brahman manifest within Prakriti (nature) and is the creator, sustainer and dissolver of the universe.

One’s concept of God depends on where one has reached in one’s spiritual evolution. The idea of God for devotees ranges from that of a judge meting out rewards and punishments to an all-pervading, unchanging, imperishable eternal existence.

Guided Meditation: Expand your Consciousness

In this guided Meditation we follow an ancient Yogic Technique expanding our sense of self beyond the limits of our body and mind, embracing the whole universe. It also aims to develop a sense of spaciousness, peace and of unity with all things.
