Question: How can I get started with Yoga? I am a beginner. I feel my life getting more spiritual; my purpose is to bring awareness to people making the earth a better place to live. What can I do to help me bring this to reality?

Comment: You need to 'arm' yourself with the following three tools. First of all, you need to study and strictly follow 'ten commandments of yoga' -- Yama and Niyama. They contain the essence of the spiritual path and spiritual life. In fact, they contain all the instructions necessary for living a balanced life and attaining enlightenment/self-realization. Second, you should definitely start regular practice of meditation and should do yoga postures to help you with meditation as well as improve your emotional and physical health.

Finally, you must find a capable spiritual teacher who will be your spiritual friend and will help you with your spiritual path. Without a teacher your path will likely be treacherous, full of detours. A good spiritual teacher will relieve you from spiritual materialism and boredom. He or she will make your spiritual journey interesting, rewarding and efficient. Take enough time to choose a teacher. This is a very serious matter which should not be taken lightly or in a rush -- use both your mind and your heart.
