HEALTH AND FITNESS: GLOBAL PROMOTION OF YOGA

DR. SEEMA V. DESHMUKH

Abstract

Yoga has a lot to offer humanity. Therefore, the goals and objectives of practicing yoga can and do vary depending on one's main subjects, profession and occupation, needs and requirements and the problems they face in their life paths. Broadly, the objectives are: i) to bring peace and tranquility of mind, freeing it from all stress and tension, worries and anxiety; ii) bring balance and harmony to the body-mind-soul complex; iii) Investigate and reveal hidden powers controlling nature both externally and internally, destroying the evils within; iv) obtain good health; The ultimate goal of yoga is to feel within the Self and establish a connection between the individual Self (Atman) and the Universal Consciousness (Paramatma), form a bridge between the microcosm and the macrocosm, and thus achieve liberation (Moksha or Kaivalya). The cares and worries, pains and sufferings of worldly life and enjoy the Truth-Knowledge-Bliss-Absolute. This requires clear human vision. This is possible only when the mind (chitta) becomes free from change. Thus the first goal becomes the destruction of the tendencies of the mind (Chitta vritti nirodha).
