Yoga Traditional view
Yoga
is a complete system, of which the postures or asanas are a small quite
useful part. The word "Yoga" referred to the whole, not merely one
part, which is the postures, or Asanas. The entire purpose of Yoga is
spiritual in nature, according to the ancient sages.
Goal of Yoga is Yoga
The
goal or purpose of Yoga is Yoga itself, union itself, of the little
self and the true self, a step to awakening the preexisting union that
is called Yoga. The term Yoga is the preexisting union between Atman
and Brahman, Jivatman and Paramatman, and Shiva and Shakti, or the
realization of Purusha standing alone as separate from Prakriti.
