Yoga – Nothing but Self Control
Amit Vashist

There are number of souls living in different parts of the world. Most of them are non – Hindu and are not aware of the word ‘Yogi’. It does not matters from which background they are and to which sect or religion they belong. But unknowingly they are personifying the word Yoga- Means Self Control. There are certain techniques of taking breath and a few postures which can be of tremendous help for them. Anybody can learn those techniques and get rid of number of unwanted health and wealth problems. But a few egoistic egocentric religious leaders from different parts of the world and from India as well are opposing Yoga. For them Yoga is an instrument to spread Hinduism, so looking it as biggest threat to there sect or religion.

Yoga has been mis- understood by them, without practical experience of the same .As Churches in Europe now accepting Freudian concept of Evolution of humanity, here are words of famous Swiss Psychologist Dr. C.G. Jung, about Yoga.” Yoga offers the possibility of controllable experience, and thus satisfies the scientific need of ‘facts’. Every religious or philosophical practice means a psychological discipline, that is , a method of mental hygiene. In modern India , there are number of Yoga preachers and also devoted organizations like ‘art of living , Yoga Vedant Samities, Patanjali Yoga Peeth, Gayatri Pariwar etc. There is no incident ever that any of them has asked Yoga Practioners to convert their religion or they have coated wrong words for others. Though Christians have converted billions, in return of assistance provided by them to under privileges or poor. For them service is business, through which they can market their religion. While it is not the case with Yoga practitioners and Preachers. It is my humble request to those opposing Yoga, please join Yoga classes for some time and practice it.
Do all things donot allow others to do it but test it being responsible person or their representative. Only then you will be able to understand meaning of Yoga – Self control.
