21st Century Rediscovers yoga / Pranayam

Efforts made by Patanjali Yogpeeth has now led to the wider acceptance of yoga as countless people realized that their serious ailments were getting cured with the practice of Pranayam. Today people of every age, segment, caste and religion have made yoga part of their daily routine. Indeed it is an incredible phenomenon when people from all walks of life have accepted culture and tradition of yoga. It is also true that untill yoga is fully backed by clinically controlled trial, some selfish, prejudiced people will continue to indulge in the politics of allegations and counter allegations. However, such controversies indirectly help in promoting yoga. Whatever experiments we have done so far, prove that yoga can be a solution for all the problems of the world. Experiments, results, analysis, and preseverence constitute the process of reaching the truth. We are committed to establish yoga and Ayurveda on international platform as an evidencebased part of medical science.

Besides commoners, senior politicians, administrators, senior judges, media and management professionals have learned yoga directly from Swami Ramdevji Maharaj. Many states have made yoga education compulsory in schools. Defence personnel, police officers, and others from related fields have learnt Pranayam and are making efforts to introduce it in their system. Swamiji has been instrumental in integrating world’s spiritual and virtuous strengths.

An ambitious plan is being implemented to give yoga an international platform. Trained yoga teachers of Patanjali Yogpeeth are giving free yoga education in several countries including UK and USA. In almost every district of India, Patanjali yoga training committees have been formed and are working with complete dedication and devotion. Around five to 10 lakh main and assistant yoga teachers will be ready to take charge by the end of 2007 and 2008. We can together achieve the goal of building a healthy India and world. Daily practice of yoga not only gives good health but also develops healthy thoughts, attitude, positive mind and develops good qualities. We believe that very soon yoga would become a part of international culture and the whole world will accept Indian philosophy of life supported by scientific evidence. We Indians should take pride in the fact that wider acceptance of yoga will also pave the way to world peace and welfare. yoga will help in creating a healthy, sensitive society, nation and world.
