“Yoga is the experience of moving from doing to being, from the future to the present, from the time-bound state of body-mind to the timeless state of soul being.”
~Yogi Amrit Desai

The sage Patanjali outlined the practice of Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbs of yoga) in his classical treatise the Yoga Sutras. "Yoga” in Sanskrit language means “to integrate” or “to unite”. This union is said to occur between body, mind and soul and to awaken one's individual conscious awareness with trancendental reality and Oneness consciousness.
Ashtanga Yoga is Patanjali's method for practice to awaken transcendent awareness and unveil spirit through deepening integrative states of unity consciousness. Yoga is not a religion, but it can be thought of as a universal method that can be practiced by anyone from any religious background.

Vedic Astrology, like yoga and Ayurveda, arose from the vast, integral knowledge of Vedic science. The word "veda" means science. The Vedas came from the Vedic Rishis who were considered highly spiritual beings possessing vast knowledge and insight into life that arose from deep meditation. Vedic Astrology is the branch of vedic science that addresses our interrelationship with planetary energies and their influence on all areas of life, such as our desires and aspirations, fulfillment, obstacles, health, and spiritual awakening.
