Abstract
Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. Obviously, modern life-style has made the life of a modern man full of luxurious and comforts. However, it also has a negative effect on health physically, socially, psychologically and spiritually. Modern life style increases the health problems like diabetes, heart diseases, cancer etc. In modern time, Yoga is the best solution for the sufferings of the modern man, caused by his/her nature of dependency on modern technology and sedentary behaviour. Hence, the contribution of Yoga in providing integrated benefit to individuals is tremendous. There is a strong inter-relationship between the physical, mental, social and spiritual world. It is only when the physical body is healthy that the mind functions properly. In order to see the bottom clearly, it is essential that the lake should be clear and still. In the same way, smooth and calm mind is essential for concentrating and understanding a thing vividly. Yoga is a great remedy for physical and mental well being as its aim is self-realization leading to 'the state of liberation'.
