Abstract:
Yuga of divine and eternal perfection, would not, indeed, be a far-off object to be realized. It was a perennial message which Plato proclaimed with the conviction of a genius when he declared that no peace on earth can ever prevail unless philosophy goes with administration, and administration with philosophy. Yoga helps dampen the causes of anxiety within one’s mind. The hormonal reactions in the blood are neutralized by determined and forceful self-restraint. The shortness of breath, rapid pulses and heartbeats get soothed by steady but gradual supply of oxygen and reduction in circulation due to yoga. Yoga asana (postures) and breathing deal with the physical body, but due to their effect on the brain, they also affect the mind. All the wonders of modern science will not bring happiness, peace of mind, health or a long life. Although wonders have been achieved in our external environment – space travel, computers, etc. our internal environment has been neglected. Thousands of years ago the ancient yogis turned their minds inwards and discovered their true nature.
