Yoga and Gymnastics

Yoga has recently turned out to be more or less a Gymnastic exercise. Now there are modern 'Fitness centers' in every small towns where you can join paying high fees. They are fortified with all modern equipments to make your body fit. ( Only recently I have heard people using the word "Power Yoga"?? etc.) Fit or no fit, your pocket will drain and that's sure. Only a few sections of the society who can afford their cost can join such fitness centers. Above all these Fitness centers only aim to make your body muscular to exhibit the external appearance as in some gymnastic contests. Where as Yoga strengthens all of your internal organs and enhances their well arrayed, co-ordinated performance.
 

Yoga and meditation are the only ways to control the human mind. That is why the Father of Yoga Rishi Pathanjali said these words:

"Yogaschitha vrithi nirodhaha" which means yoga controls your thoughts and mental capricions. Human mind is an uncontrollable stallion which gallops to wherever it likes. Everybody know that persons who cannot control their mind normally do all harms to themselves and the society.
