There is a great need of yoga and yogic practices to be taught and also to practice yoga, to overcome physical, mental and physiological problems. My paper largely deals with the mental aspects, as it is the current need. I urge upon the August body to see that yoga to be made simple rather than complex through research for the following reasons Development of science and technology in the recent years has made man’s life fast, busy and full of tensions. The pressure on the muscles has been largely taken away by the machines, but the pressure on the nerves has greatly increased. This has resulted in what are called stress disorders or the psychosomatic disorders. Our mind and body is capable of bearing the load of tension to a certain limit. If tension continues beyond that limit, then the balance of the psycho-physiological processes is disturbed, and that results into various symptoms of mal-adjustment The mind expresses the tension in the form of impulses that flow from the brain to various muscles of the body. If these muscles continue to make an impact on the glands and organs, this will give rise to the malfunctioning of the organ or glands concerned. Unless and until the mind be relieved of the tension prevailing in it, the disorder of the organs concerned can’t be rectified. The most important benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. The aging process; which is largely an artificial condition, caused mainly by autointoxication or self-poisoning, can be slowed down by practicing yoga. Regular practice of asanas, pranayama and meditation can help such diverse ailments such as diabetes, blood pressure, digestive disorders, arthritis, atherosclerosis, chronic fatigue, asthma, varicose veins and heart conditions. Laboratory tests have proved that yogi’s increased abilities of consciously controlling the autonomic or involuntary functions, such as temperature, heart beat and blood pressure.
