Paramahamsa Satyananda has defined yoga as the gift of peace for humanity. In our own way we are all trying to experience the state of peace and harmony in our lives, but in this search we come across certain problems. We do not know the reason for disturbance, in our lives and, therefore, we cannot discover how to attain peace.
Peace and harmony are states of mind and there are many factors which can disturb the equilibrium of the mind. Without dealing with the disturbed states of mind, we are trying to find a method to attain peace externally. It is here that yoga comes in with definite concepts about the human personality. Yoga say that instead of isolating ourselves from the mind, we should try to discover the reason for the imbalance within ourselves, and then we will find peace very easily. With this idea in mind, yoga has evolved the different practices of Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, etc.
