Since the UN declaration on yoga being counted as one of the best wellness systems in the world, India had its major chunk of pride as its traditional method of healthy living was recognized across the globe; a contribution that this country made to humanity. Ayurveda is also gaining momentum but the manner in which yoga crept into the daily lives of millions across the planet was astounding. Amid the corona pandemic and the hustle and bustle of modern life, yoga stands out helping millions to cure their ailments and psychosomatic issues. Running after comforts and conveniences, we have come to a juncture where life without gadgets and gizmos is unthinkable. They have revolutionized our lives. But they came with heavy price tags forcing us to pay for lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity, blood pressure and cardiac issues. Of course less attention was paid to the negative effects due to their excessive use. Without bothering much we thrust cell phones into the lovely hands of our kids. Drastic biological imbalances that they silently cause to our own body should be a huge concern. Probably yoga is seen to bring care and cure to those who suffer. Therefore, it can be trusted and practiced. ‘My life my yoga’ was a unique initiative by the ministry of Ayush. Such initiatives would definitely enhance the importance of yoga in a world totally submerged in stress and distress due to the pandemic. Millions of people are battling to save their lives from the deadly virus is a bitter truth. Learn to live with the virus, a new normal, a reality that every individual must train himself to accept and appreciate. Undoubtedly, yoga holds the power to solve complexities of the mind and body. Literally the word yoga means to unite; the unity of the individual self with the cosmic self or in simple terms the perfect alignment of the body and mind. Importance of yoga is that it handles various faculties of the human anatomy. It deals with not only the body but the mind and the soul and beyond. Modern medical systems mostly deal with the physical aspects of the human body but ayurveda and yoga go beyond the body and the mind to cure. People would often end up mistaking yoga to be the twisting and turning of the body. That is how it is propagated across the globe. Understanding yoga at the physical level is normal but going beyond the physical transforms a practitioner totally. Going to the depth in practice, the practitioner experiences the oneness with the individual self with the universal. The body being treated as an instrument needs to be maintained properly and the mind the indweller becomes capable of coming out of its chaotic expressions and attains tranquility. Thus, the body-mind mechanism functions in unison in tune with the pulsating framework of nature. What is important is to practice yoga regularly with complete attention and involvement. Yoga’s power is undisputable when it comes to its ability to boost our immunity and maintain our physical fitness. Seeing yoga as a religious affair is not improper. At the personal level, practice of yoga can be as natural an endeavor as any other religious ritual. But it can be a personal outlook. Considering yoga practice for the wellness of the body is more favorable for many than delving deeper into its spiritual realms. It can better be used as a healthy habit to solve the complexities of our chaotic modern life. In a spiritual realm, yoga in its essence is a passage from ignorance to self knowledge. Having controlled the body and mind, the practitioner is normal to step further to the spiritual domain. Practice of yoga enables a person to think good, feel good and live good. As a wellness system yoga provides a person with ample scope to progress with physical, emotional and spiritual maturity. Significantly the popularity with which yoga became a part of the western life is amazing. Mostly it is due to the wayward lifestyle of the west. Broken families and a totally paralyzing trauma due to the drug peddling and massive consumption of illegal narcotics among the modern youth naturally but consistently forced them to find an alternate way for cure. As a mechanism to handle the body and mind, yoga has tremendously helped the western lives better than any spiritual practice available. Wavering from the fundamentals of yoga philosophy, the trends to commercialize yoga to a booming industry is a reality. With millions of practitioners joining every day, the yoga industry is flourishing everywhere in the world. It is a good sign of economy, emerging from the rubbles of the ancient wisdom of India refurbishing its essentially faded significance under the cast of time. From the politicians to the cricketers to the film fraternity to the common man, yoga has an influence in everyone’s life purely secular in its outlook and healthy and holistic in its effect. From a yoga mat to a yoga dress, everything related to yoga is costly even in India. But nothing costly is required for a sincere practitioner, except a resolution to spend an hour daily for his body and mind. That’s what yoga is, it will work wonders for us.
