YOGA

Yoga is a set of ancient spiritual practices aimed to help one attain an ideal balance between the body, mind and soul. It helps to bring forth equanimity of body and mind and a deeper insight through the practice of asceticism and meditation.
Yoga can be defined as a philosophy of life, a code of conduct, as well as an art of living. This early tradition of spiritual practice is capable of ensuring physical well-being, mental peace, harmony, moral elevation and spiritual upliftment. The aim of Yoga is to transform man from his gross animal existence to the sublime heights of divinity.
According to ‘Yoga Sutra’ by Patanjali,Yoga involves an eight fold path leading to a final liberation from pain and suffering - taking one to the highest state of creativity, of discriminative knowledge and towards attaining the desired perfection.

They are:

•    YAMA - involves the five "abstentions" namely nonviolence, truth, non-covetousness, chastity, and abstain from attachment to possessions
•    NIYAMA - involves the five "observances" namely purity, contentment, austerities, study, and surrender to god
•    ASANA – involves the various seated postures used for meditation
•    PRANAYAMA – involves the control of vital energy (Breathing control)
•    PRATYAHARA - Withdrawal of the senses inwards through abstraction
•    DHARNA – involves concentration of the mind
•    DHYANA - the practice of meditation
•    SAMADHI – Is the merging of consciousness with the object of meditation

Among these, the first five, which focuses on the psychosomatic approach, are referred to as Hatha yoga, while later three, related to the psyche are known as internal (Antaranga) yoga or Raja Yoga. If practiced on a long-term basis Yoga brings significant changes to those who suffer from bronchial asthma, nasal allergy, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis, obesity, high and low blood pressure and ischaemic heart diseases(HID), migraine, anxiety neurosis, depressive neurosis, rheumatism, back pain, arthritis, gastritis and peptic ulcer, chronic diarrhea and dysentery, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ophthalmic disorders like short sight, long site, astigmatism, squint, initial stages of cataract and glaucoma etc.
