"Swami Vivekananda proclaimed
'Each soul is potentially Divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within, by controlling Nature-external and internal. Do it either by work or worship, psychic control or philosophy; by one or more, or all of these and be free'.
The systematic methodology of unfoldment of this inner potential Divinity , by moving towards Self perfection is referred to as Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. Yoga is thus a process by which the Animal-man ascends through the stages Man-man,Super-man and the Divine-man(Brahman) (here Brahman means not caste but a stage attained).In this process, the limited, narrow,selfish thinking completely changes and takes the shape of an integrated, all encompassing, selfless character expressed by equanimity. This state Divinity or Self-perfection is the state of pure consciousness, maximum creativity and bliss. Hence, the movement towards That through Yoga is a delightful, blissful process. Since every Individual or society is always striving to achieve greater happiness, bliss,creativity and higher mental Faculties. Yoga, Clearly is the real solution , both for Individual fulfillment and social harmony.
" You can learn Yoga to become a Super-man it is not compulsory that you must be divine or religious ."

These techniques prepare the individual for practicing Pranayama, Mudras and Bandhas.
