Spiritual masters or ‘Gurus’ of great Indian Yog traditions have been transmitting application of these great mantras with proper technique to work effectively deeper into the subject or the ‘Yog learner’ to invoke divinity hidden and lying deep due to darkness of ignorance within him. It is the technique of Yog that infuses in to the day to day life of a yog aspirant and brings a dynamic change in his life style and his approach towards life.
