INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY 2017

UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES OF YOGA: Is It Just a Spiritual Well-being Exercise Or Is It a Cryptic Religious Practice?

The word “Yoga” nowadays has largely become synonymous to such an extent that it has been representing the Indian people as a holy ambassador of wellbeing at the global stage. Yoga simply means union, and here it profoundly represents the union of the spirit, body and mind together to know the inner self in a much better way.

It has been accredited across the world irrespective of an individual’s or any group’s faith in any particular religion that in a real sense it has brought immense drastic changes within the bodily composition, has brought in inner peace along with balance in thoughts which has impacted their day to day life activities in a much  positive manner.

Yoga has always been considered as an ancient art of healthy living. But, recently Yoga in its totality has breached its limited ambit and scope of merely being an art to a profound science , something where mystically both science & arts meets spirituality in a much creative way.

In a world where myths gets easily generated and also at the same time disappears in thin air with the same pace due to scientific process of criticism it is made to go through, Yoga stands out as an anomaly among the generation of myths as the genesis of yoga which may appear as much skeptical to the scientific community, has always blossomed high as its impact and the final outcome that is talked about by its preachers has never  failed anyone impartially till today.

Yoga is considered as a residuary product that has originated as a part and parcel of the rich, deep rooted Indian culture and tradition. It has become a soul USP factor for promotion of the Indian tourism across the world.

But, somewhere along the way it has reached such a peak of involvement in life of people, that cryptic, ever curious, mercurial minds have started questioning the relevance of the existence of Yoga itself, but has always to their disappointment has  failed in their own keen criticism.

Nowadays, after the global recognition the yoga got due to its vast promotion by the Indian Prime Minister and the trinity of Yoga Gurus be, it Sri Sri Ravishankar, Sadhguru or Baba Ramdev along with induction of International Yoga Day on June 21 by UN has infuriated the fringe elements as its proposition was supported by nearly 171 nation unanimously without any obstacle. Due to such a massive support by the global citizens with their respective governments supporting yoga to be incorporated into their lifestyle at every phase has threatened some groups which have started maligning the Yoga in way by dubbing it as a religious practice without any scientific evidence in hand. But as such a grave black mark has been thrown on it, it has raised the eyebrows of so called intellectual class, who have begun investigating into the mysteries of yoga at a much deep-rooted level. 

The things that was found are so cynical to be investigated that the scientific community has itself rejected such self vested interest oriented bias claims as they hold no weight, these claims include chanting of word OM, some inappropriate physical postures which seem to be depicting Hindu gods or absurd kind of idolation have been rejected several times by educated literate global netizens as it is narcissistic to just debunk a practice just it has touching relation with a particular religion.

 Hinduism as a religion itself has been a misunderstood term which is seen as an religious identity but which is in actual terms is an geographical identity at large, people born and lived in lands that fall between the Himalayas And Indus river were called Hindus since, it’s the distortion of facts by the britishers and inappropriate usage of their half baked linguistic knowledge that has led to mass confusion in a nation where people struggle to differentiate between what’s the basic difference between a religion and tradition. Anything that gets uprooted in this country through its vast diaries of ancient wisdom is dubbed either religious or occult.

Mental peace is not the only benefit of yoga, but its in varied secondary health benefits that the scientific world has from the beginning itself been promulgating based on their hard done logical researches and analysis. It has changed its reputation from just being another alternate form of healing to profound allopathic integrated form of practice as the latest discoveries across the world are noting towards. Different forms of Yoga exist but it is Hatha Yoga that is been practiced at the global level. Incorporating Yoga in an individual’s Lifestyle has several benefits that include primarily prevention and reduction in probability of several chronic diseases that includes diabetes, obesity, heart attack, anemia, arthritis, asthma.etc.

 So, such an scientific tool called yoga when used in creative ways can if provide mankind to get rid of both physical and mental distress that also free of cost is creating wonders in life’s of some people who deliberately are in dire  need of an instant relief mechanism to withhold their pain in an natural way should never been disregarded to an extent that it leads to its extinction as it is a miraculous marvel or boon to us that has existed since ages among us to improve our day to day life in a much better way inculcating discipline and better self control in true essence. 

Criticism is always welcomed from across all sides only if it is unbiased, as in this scientific era nobody is going to believe in made-up  imaginative dust & dirt emitted by  so called shrewd  masquerades whose main purpose is to just confuse the world through their illusionary statements and hypothesis based on irrelevant religious crunches they try to spit here and there. 

So, in an era of relevance of credibility and results, Yoga has self righteously cleared its way to the top which has benefited several across the world dozing off the motivated theories against it in an mesmerizing yogic way.
