YOGA at last is coming into its own in the Western world. After
many years of being dismissed as a bizarre cult attractive only
to eccentrics, it is today recognized as a fundamental art and
skill. More than that, many of its most bitter opponents, people
who were among the first to cry down Yogic culture, have now
embraced it as a way of life.

The ancients who formulated the science of Yoga were way ahead of
us in our modern world of stress and hurry. Recognizing,
thousands of years ago, man's basic need for discipline to
counteract the physical and spiritual deterioration caused by the
mere fight for survival, they evolved a science which is at once
as ancient as India herself and as modern as the space age.
The law of Yoga is the law of Life. Yoga embodies the secrets of
successful living and combines profound and age-old truths with a
way of life acceptable to the modern mind. It was evolved from
the Veda, one of the most ancient scriptural books known to
mankind in which Indian saints and sages taught that the Universe
is one and that all religions are paths ascending the same
mountain towards Eternal Truth. The great modern saint, Sri
Ramakrishna, is often quoted as saying, 'As many faiths, so many
paths.'

But Yoga is not a religion, nor is it a mystic cult. It is a
Hindu system of philosophic meditation and asceticism designed to
effect the reunion of the devotee's soul with God. It is a
philosophy which integrates the individual life and the world
surrounding us to achieve a basic harmony and equilibrium in the
heart and mind of man.

How is physical health a part of so spiritual a philosophy as
Yoga? Simply that the trichotomy of our lives, divided into body,
soul and spirit, is echoed in the complete Yogic philosophy whose
three approaches-asana (posture), pranayama (breath control), and
meditation-are unified as one approach to self discovery.
One of the fundamental doctrines of Yoga is that God is within
each one of us but He reveals Himself only in conditions of
purity, both spiritually and physically. To function on a higher
level, either mentally or physically, the first step must always
be to rid the body of the impurities that cause disease and which
impede spiritual development. One can draw the analogy of the
window which must be cleaned before one can see the light clearly
through it.

This basic principle of purification underlines all Yogic
practice and at the same time it aims at establishing a balance
in the body so that it functions, as it were, like a perfect
machine. When this state of physical balance is achieved the mind
can then be controlled and can realize the ultimate in pure
thought and reason. I have yet to meet anyone who can
successfully employ the techniques of mind control while plagued
with indigestion, asthma, a thumping headache or any other of the
ills and stress symptoms which plague modern man. So first things
first. Physical ills drag one downwards and the disciplinary
science of Hatha Yoga was evolved that the body would be freed
from pain and disease.
