Yoga is a science of all-round human development – physical, mental, moral and, above all, spiritual. Indeed it is India’s unique and invaluable gift to humanity. The only criterion is that one should understand and practice yoga correctly, learning it from an authentic, traditional yoga teacher, and be blessed thereby. Truly speaking, yoga cannot be treated a part time hobby or vocation. It should be a yoga way of life – our whole life should be a continuous, uninterrupted procedure of yoga. As a mahatma has rightly pointed out, ‘a life imbued with the true spirit of yoga can bring light where there is darkness, love where there is hate, order where there is chaos, and happiness where there is misery. Such a one, truly and totally dedicated to yoga, will be able to lead a fulfilling family life, a value-oriented professional life, and a responsive social life. Life fulfills its supreme purpose when it is imbued with the true spirit of yoga, and anchored in the eternal verity’.
