Abstract
Yoga is a psychology in which one is taught to control the mind and pull it from animalistic tendencies. Success in life, in any field, depends on a balanced mind. Mind control means concentration of mind on one thing at a time. By practicing for a long time, such a nature of mind is formed. With this special variant of mind, the pioneer of Yogashastra has also worked in the religious field. Yoga is supportive of all the religions and philosophies of the world. Hatha Yoga teaches about asanas – asanas provide health and strength for preparation for further Raj Yoga. The goal put forward in the Yoga is the establishment of the observer i.e. the soul in its own form. This means that by continuously practicing the principles of Yoga, the mind becomes detached from worldly pleasures and becomes stable in its form. This control of mental tendencies is not contrary to the teachings of any religious sect.
