Padma Sadhana - its importance

IMPORTANCE OF PADMA SADHANA I've been with yoga - off and on :D:D for various reasons... sometimes for health benefits, sometimes for tranquility. Yoga means a beautiful "Yog" or "union" of mind, body and soul. There are various padvatis or forms or paddhatis of yoga giving various benefits and experiences (Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga etc), and would like to highlight the importance of Padmasadhna here.

Bhakti~ sochu tujhe to hai subaah sochu tujhe toh shaam hai

Ultimate devotion~ Bhakti <3 Lord Krishna and Meera ‎"Life always flows in search of joy and the highest joy is in the Divine.  We must always aim to attain the Divine. If you aim for the highest, your smaller desires will come to you (be fulfilled) anyway.  If there is thirst you will get water. If there is no thirst, one would not bother about water. Similarly, there should be a thirst within us to attain the Divine, to know the highest truth, to know what life is, to know who we are." Sri Sri. ~~~ kya hum hain kya rab hai jahan tu hai wahin sab hai  ~~~ ♥ ~* ~ sochu tujhe to hai subaah sochu tujhe toh shaam hai... haan manjilon pe ab toh meri ek hi tera naam hai... teri aag meri jalti koyle se Mira banake... khwaabo se aagey chal ke hai tujhe bataana... tere vaaste mera ishq sufiyana... mera ishq sufiyana... :):) ~* ~ ♥
