Yoga, the science of man, based on ancient Indian wisdom and culture, is an
art of living a healthy, balanced, peaceful and contented life. Yoga, being
a total integrated system, studies man in his wholeness - body, mind and spirit
and is integrated to certain principles, ideas, values, attitudes and a way
of life for personal and social benefits.
Conceived by the great sages in their quest forself-realisation, it has come
tobe recognised during its; long travails from the hermitages to the cities,
as the science of man, a philosophy old life, a code of conduct, an attitude
and an approach, as well as an art of living which is capable not only of ensuring
physical well-being, mental peace harmony, moral elevation and spiritual uplift
of man but also of transforming man from his gross animal existence to the sublime
heights of divinity. It must, however be kept in mind that it is a long and
arduous journey calling for perseverance, persistence, dedication and total
surrender.
Yoga had recognised and accepted the importance of the mind and the subconscious
over the total human personality much earlier than modern psychology did in
its present form. Yoga is a stepwise, stage wise eight fold path to final liberation
from pain and suffering. These steps progressively take us to the highest state
of creativity, of discriminative knowledge and towards attaining the desired
perfection. The eight steps are :
YAMA - Conditional yoga behaviour,personal and social
NIYAMA - Attitude sublimate to yoga norms
ASANA - Discipline of the physical body
PRANAYAMA - Control overionergy through respiratory action.
PRATYAHARA - Withdrawal of the senses inwards through abstraction
