“Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.”
- Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Yoga is just not a simple set of exercises, but a total way of living for millions in the eastern world.
The word yoga means unity or oneness and derived from the Sanskrit word yuj, which means to join. It refers to the union of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. It teaches that a whole man consists equally of body, mind and spirit, all three of which must be fully developed before an individual can realize his full potential.
The modern civilized individual is educated and informed like never before. It is virtually impossible that an individual today is unaware of the environment that he has created for himself which is the path leading to self destruction. The process of destruction has already begun not with the bang of an atom bomb, but the whimper of a patient in the hospital bed. For every one who falls prey to any disease there are 5 who lie in regretful knowledge that if only they had changed their lifestyle, eating habits and avoided tensions this would not have happened to them. This is where yoga comes in. It not a wonder medicine or an activity that can revolutionize the world. It just helps to cope with the life inside you with a fitter body and a finer mind.
One need not completely subscribe to the yoga philosophy or the yoga way of life to enjoy its benefits. In this rapidly changing world, there are so many tension induced problems that by the time a person reaches 45, he finds it increasingly difficult to concentrate on his health as there are so many tiny miny tribulations that refuse to either get resolved or leave the mind. This obviously is no better way of life and definitely doesn’t seem to improve.
Physical and mental cleansing and strengthening is one of the most important achievements of yoga. According to medical experts what made yoga therapy so successful is the balance created in the nervous and endocrine systems that directly influences all other organs and processes of the body. They help experience an overwhelming sense of well being that is so necessary in today’s stressful environment. Asanas help remove physical discomfort whereas breathing and relaxation techniques help maximize efficiency.
In this 21st century where mobiles, TV, cars and phones seem to be our only companions, yoga helps not only manifest internal harmony but also makes great personal sense. A set of exercises it may be, but it requires very little contribution from one’s side. No large gym machines, no dumbbells etc. it is simply a set of simple breathing and relaxation techniques that gives either direct and tangible benefits to everyone regardless of their spiritual aim.
