Importance of Yoga and its contribution to the world
Author(s): Dr. Babulal Sadashiv Dhotre
Abstract:There are some misconceptions in regard to yoga prevalent especially among some sections in the west. Yoga is not magic or a feat of any kind, physical or mental. It is neither drill nor frill. Yoga is subjective science based on a sound philosophy and deep psychology. Its spiritual mental or physical important cannot be separated from each other. It is proposed to place before all seekers, the main principles that underlie the gospel of the Bhagavad-Gita in its aspect of practice or the Yoga of Meditation. Yogic asana are a cure and a prevention of many diseases, especially that of stomach or digestion. It is means by which the delicate balance of the bodily humors of Kaff, Vata, and Pita is maintained. Yoga is the simplest form of relaxation, thus the horror of psycho-somatic diseases does not loom large on those who practice yoga daily.
