Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, focusing on bringing harmony between the mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living. The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to ‘to unite’. As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man & Nature.
According to modern scientists, everything in the universe is a manifestation of the same quantum firmament. One who experiences this oneness of existence is said to be in yoga, and is termed as a yogi, having attained to a state of freedom referred to as mukti, nirvana or moksha. Historical evidences of the existence of Yoga were seen in the pre-Vedic period (2700 B.C.), and thereafter till Patanjali’s period. The main sources, from which we get the information about Yoga practices and the related literature during this period, are available in Vedas, Upanishads, Smritis, teachings of Buddhism, Jainism, Panini, Epics, Puranas etc.
Today in the contemporary times, everybody is convinced about yoga practices for the preservation, maintenance and promotion of health. Yoga is also commonly understood as a therapy or exercise system for health and fitness. Physical and mental health are natural consequences of yoga. Yoga also has a more far-reaching consequence which is the harmonizing of oneself with the universe. Yoga does not adhere to any particular religion, belief system or community; it has always been approached as a means for inner wellbeing. Anyone who practices yoga with involvement can reap its benefits, irrespective of one’s faith, ethnicity or culture.
