yoga is a complete way of living .For centuries ,it has made a great contribution to humanity though its methods of physical, mental intellectual and spiritual development . . Yoga has retained its relevance and has proven its usefulness in modern life . It will certainly be very helpful in alleviating the stress related problems prevailing in modren society .
The development of human civilization, mixed with tecnical advancement and the cultrual heritage ,has presented a new challenge to mankind . The world is struggling in an effort to establish peace .
The saints of our ancient Indian culture have been isnpiring and giving direction to society by adopting the values of simplicity and high thinking into their lives . Similar kinds of thoughts have also been adopted by the west. But in the last few years,technical and economic advancements have created an upheaval in the whole world. resulting in a progressive shift of attention away from human values . In this wave,stimulated by political and social situations ,the importance of economic individualism has surfaced ,ignoring the rest of the society.
Today , the time has come for us to bridge the gaps and remove the discrepancies in the society,and bring the suppressed sectors back into the mainstream of life. In this situation, the role of yoga has further increased. Extensive acceptance and application of yoga can bring stability ,purpose and self - contetment into human life. After understanding these facts ,many western countries ,Russia and other states of the former U.S.S.R. have done extensive research into yoga, whereby the physical,mental and social benefits have been scientifically shown.
Some people still think that yoga is just physical exercise to keep the body fit. physical fitness is the first advantage of yoga . The second is mental balance ,and thirdly ,and most importantly,is self -realization .I do not want to go into great depth here, but what I want to say is that acceptance of yoga can bring peace and harmony into dndividual and social life . In today's turbulent world ,the importance of yoga increases day by day.
