    "In the present book, attempts have been made to give the concepts of Yoga and psychotherapy, their utility in many life situations, regardless of our handicaps, be they financial, physical or psychological. In short, author have shown what the modern world has to gain from the ancient science of Yoga and psychotherapy despite our advances in medicine and technology; we still suffer from many ills. But through Yoga and psychotherapy, we can discover the riches, success and happiness that has been the secret of the science of Yoga and psychotherapy but still has a message that applies to the modern times.
