What Anandji thinks about yoga ?
Anandji says yoga is the only power through which man can understand himelf & can feel the union with the divine. According to him yoga is not something meant for only a section of people but it is for all. Yoga treats everybody as one. There is no difference of caste, creed and religion. The utmost thing to which he emphasizes most of the time in all his sessions is that -
"Man himself is his guru.
What he needs to do is to look inward,
Stop running outward
Sit, Relax, Breath, Concentrate
First you are in light
Then light is in you
Then you are a light"
This is what he believes in.
