This is your yoga, right?

Conversations and Morning Walks

1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

Yoga means connection. As soon as you study Kṛṣṇa in this way, you make your connection with Kṛṣṇa. That is perfection of yoga. Yoga means connection, the Sanskrit word yoga. And the opposite word is viyoga, disconnection. Yoga-viyoga. So yoga means, real yoga means, to connect your relationship, your identity, with Kṛṣṇa. That is called yoga.
Room Conversation With Three College Students -- July 11, 1973, London:

Prabhupāda: So but you do not know who is God. That is the difference.

Revatīnandana: Kṛṣṇa's saying, "I am the cause of everything. From Me the whole creation flows." He is the person who has designed the flower that you cannot design. And if you want to see Him directly, if you want to associate with Him personally, He says, "Only by pure love and devotion can I be seen." Therefore our yoga is to love Kṛṣṇa. And then you can see everything when you see Kṛṣṇa.

Student (1): But this is your yoga, right?

Revatīnandana: It's Kṛṣṇa's yoga.

Prabhupāda: Yoga means connection. As soon as you study Kṛṣṇa in this way, you make your connection with Kṛṣṇa. That is perfection of yoga. Yoga means connection, the Sanskrit word yoga. And the opposite word is viyoga, disconnection. Yoga-viyoga. So yoga means, real yoga means, to connect your relationship, your identity, with Kṛṣṇa. That is called yoga. So take little prasādam. Come on.

Revatīnandana: Take some little sweet.

Student (2): Thank you.

Prabhupāda: Come on.

Student (2): I can't.

Prabhupāda: No, no, I will give you. So let us stop here. Next I can give some talk.

Revatīnandana: All glories to Prabhupāda. (Obeisances) So Prabhupāda will take some rest now.

Student (3): Thanks very much.

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Thank you very much. So bring little milk. Yes. (end)
