Integral yoga has multi-dimensional aspect in our lives. On one hand it heads towards attainment of liberation, on the other hand integral yoga brings changes in intellectual, volitional, ethical, emotional, aesthetic and physical attributes of our lives leading to human perfection. For all perfection, the first pre-requisite is purification, suddhi. Mind, heart, the soul of vital desire and the life in the body are the seat of impurity, which when surrenders to the path of Yoga slowly clears of the impurities and develops their inner strength, which leads to the attainment of liberation or mukti. The path to liberation takes one to attain the siddhi or perfection that an aspirant desires of is attained when universality of being, of love and joy, of play of knowledge and of play of will in power and will in unegoistic action happens within an individual freely. The main intention here is to outline and analyse various developments that takes place when once the journey of yoga begins. The perfections and developments taking place within oneself help an individual to lead a comfortable life and enjoy an overall well-being with the enhancements of physical, vital and mental capacities.
