Purpose of Yoga
Yoga is not a religion, as it neither encourages nor imposes any kind of religious dogma or belief. Yoga is now being utilized in modern society in many areas. Indeed, yoga deals with the problems of human nature and human exigencies through a vast repertory of practical methods which aim towards the purification, regulation and awakening of human potential. At present, yoga is passing through a momentous period of growth and expansion with rapid integration into modern society. Yoga is being applied in different facets of life in a variety of new ways, for example, as a form of therapy, a technique for health and stress management for executives, in education, business management, the Armed Forces, for the intellectually and physically disabled, the especially gifted, in prisons, on the campus, for the aged, in rural sectors, and many more. As we view the multifaceted yogic transition taking place around the world today, we can begin to see why Swami Satyananda Saraswati had pronounced many years ago, Yoga is the culture of tomorrow and it will change the course of world events. However, most of these applications remain at a superficial level. In order to obtain a more comprehensive view of yoga and its potential utility within society, we need to go much deeper. For this reason BYB was envisioned. Here scholars, scientists, medical practitioners, administrators and yogic aspirants of a high calibre can study, carry out research and develop a complete perspective of yoga and its potential uses within society in order to create a better future and a better world for the coming generations. |
