"The science of Yoga has been an integral part of our culture and civilization down the centuries. It is, once again, being adopted as a part of life in the modern world. Today, Yoga is giving the message of health and tension-free life to the whole world. Medical science accepts the fact that Yoga is the only and ultimate option for freedom from tension and stress. A book that presents and explains the true nature of Yoga is the need of the day. This book lays special emphasis on the spiritual aspect of the science of Yoga. Besides it also provides detailed information on the successful experiments of Yoga for medical purposes. There is a detailed description of postures, breathing exercises and meditation as well as diet prescriptions. Hopefully this book will guide a wide range of readers from the seekers on the spiritual path to the common man interested in good health and physique." (jacket)
