Yoga is a philosophy of life. Yoga is a self-discipline. Yoga is a life-style. Yoga is a concept of life, free of
diseases and rich with transcendental trance. Yoga is an excellent spiritual lore of self- therapy and
self-realization. Through this spiritual science of yoga, a pygmy can become a colossus or one can transform or
develop oneself comprehensively. Yoga is not merely an alternative system of medicine; its authenticity is based on
the results of experiments which show that the diseases have been eradicated. It is therefore a complete system of
medicine, not only for diseases of the body but also for those of the mind. Yoga is not a symptomatic medical
treatment like allopathy, rather it makes us feel healthy from inside by eradicating the root cause of diseases. To
view yoga merely as a form of exercise or merely as a ritualistic system of a particular community is a narrow and
foolish attitude. We should view yoga as a complete science, throwing aside selfishness, prejudice, ignorance and
egoism. The scriptures say that the eight chakras (energy centers) are awakened by yoga, and by the constant
practice of pranayama the sins and evil impressions accumulated over several births get destroyed.
