#255 The Real Purpose of Yoga and Meditation

I was asked to speak on the real purpose of yoga and meditation in Melbourne, Australia, and address some common misconceptions.

Many people simply see yoga as a form of physical exercise that has wonderful health benefits, and meditation as something to deal with stress and increase peacefulness. But this ancient system was for something infinitely more rewarding and extraordinary – self-realization and God-realization – which when experienced, blesses one with great blissful joy, profound wisdom and the experience of perfect spiritual love.
