What is the Yoga of Yesu

The Sanskrit word 'yoga' is from the root word meaning yoke. Yoga is the Sanskrit word for the lifestyle of being yoked together with Christ on the Way. Christ offers us the opportunity to be yoked to him so that we can both pull this wagon, together, in tandem. It is a lifestyle, a dedication and devotion. It carries with it an implicit responsibility to one's yokefellow(s), and it is thus a team effort.

The greatest spirit known to humanity must surely have much to teach with regards the Way to Perfection - Yoga. For sure, volumes and volumes full of intricate lessons flow from the Saviour's loving heart in the hope that something will lodge in our being, germinate and come to fruition.

Lets look at his divine teaching. Here it is, all of it, in three words: Simplicity, Humility, and Compassion. The Saviour went beyond merely stating these Truths - he lived it so that we could take courage and follow in his footsteps - and millions have already done that.

The entire Eastern Bible is devoted to the Yoga of Yesu. One Scripture which has particular emphasis on the variations and subtleties of Yoga, of that lifestyle being yoked to Christ, is the Baghavad Gita.
