Key Facts about Vihangam Yoga

It is an Indian modality of Yoga and meditation, founded by Sadguru Sadafal Deo Ji Maharaj in 1924.
The name is composed of two root words: “Vihag”, which means bird, and “Yog”, which means union.
The name symbolizes the idea of a bird that leaves the earth and flies high and free in the sky – the goal of Vihangam Yoga being our soul to be free of the attachment to the physical world and realize its true, free nature.
Only then can one’s individual consciousness can unite with the universal consciousness (the Supreme Being) and reach permanent peace and bliss.

Q1) What is Yoga?

Yoga is a Sanskrit word translated as “yoke” or “union.” To yoke means to draw together, to bind together; or to unite. Its aim is to yoke or create a union of the body, mind, soul, and universal consciousness. This process of uniting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves is what allows yogis to experience deep states of freedom, peace and self-realization.
