Yama
are the "don'ts" and "abstentions." enunciate a program of events should not be done. point to something positive and with Niyama, are the moral and ethical foundation of Yoga.
They are oriented exclusively towards peace of mind, the desapacionamiento and breaking the chain to the wheel of samsara (incarnation and death). tend, primary and ultimate, the realization of Self, isolated and perfect consciousness of himself.

is a Universal law of love, a deep feeling of sympathy and peace to all that lives.
This attitude is based on the recognition of the sacredness of life: "God dwells in the hearts of all beings" (Bhagavad Gita, 18, 61).
Undoubtedly society has a right to defend itself. Krishna reminds Arjuna strongly the duty of the warrior fighting against the unjust aggressor.
Every individual can and must enforce their rights through fair and honest judges. What is prohibited is the inner feeling, is hatred in the heart.
Nonviolence has nothing to do with the weakness or cowardice. is the act of someone who has every chance to resist violently, but chooses to oppose evil good, convinced that this is the only way to achieve the realization of Self and harmonious development of society.
The violent injures himself, it poisons your mind and your heart, open a spiral that has no purpose other than total destruction.
Nonviolence generates the removal of all animosity. Kindness is contagious. A heart overflowing with peace radiates peace to others.

This is done when the self that is manifested is the reflection of the inner self tuned on the ego ideal, the goal of efforts towards liberation. is what is expressed with the words authenticity, integrity, accomplishment.
Lying is directly contrary to the purpose of Yoga. cause anxiety, suspicion, anguish. confuse the mind, from seeing the essence of things and is directly opposed to enlightenment.
Who does the truth in their thoughts, words and actions without deviating despite the inconveniences that may arise is in God, is based on the stable, which does not disappoint or deceive. It becomes a real, authentic, which will capture the real and the other in a life without masks or Fictions.
