🌿 1. Yoga
Meaning: Yoga = “Union” (from the Sanskrit root Yuj, meaning to join or unite).
Purpose: To unite body, mind, and soul, ultimately connecting with the higher consciousness (the Divine).
Form: Yoga is not just physical postures (asanas); it includes ethical principles (yama & niyama), asana, pranayama (breath control), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption).
Practical Aspect: Yoga prepares the body and mind to become balanced, healthy, and ready for meditation and spiritual realization.
🌸 2. Dhyan (Meditation)
Meaning: Dhyan = concentration, awareness, meditative stillness.
Purpose: To calm the mind, develop mindfulness, and experience inner silence.
Form: It is primarily a mental and spiritual practice.
Practical Aspect: In dhyan, a person focuses on breath, a mantra, a thought, or pure awareness, leading to inner peace and self-realization.
🔑 Key Difference (Yoga vs Dhyan)
Aspect Yoga Dhyan Meaning Union, a complete spiritual discipline Concentration and mindfulness Scope Physical + mental + spiritual Mainly mental and spiritual Practice Asana, pranayama, yama-niyama, meditation, samadhi Awareness, breath focus, mantra, inner stillness Goal Balance of body–mind–soul, union with the Divine Inner peace, mindfulness, self-realization Relationship Yoga leads towards meditation Meditation is the heart of yoga
🌺 In Simple Words
Yoga = The path of discipline → preparing body and mind.
Dhyan = The essence of life → experiencing the union within.
👉 That’s why it is said:
“Yoga without dhyan is incomplete, but meditation without yoga is no problem.”
