Yoga is discussed by many scholars but often drifts from how most people live their lives. Yoga is either left to ascetics or practiced just as physical exercises. However, yoga is actually an art of managing one's life like riding a horse. Due to forces like regimentation and individualism, lives have been damaged. It is important to re-explore wisdom from scriptures through simultaneously practicing yoga, which involves reorienting oneself for individual and universal blossoming, or purification. The simplest way to revitalize lifestyle is through NAMASMARAN.

2. I think yoga has been discussed by many
scholars with more or less common
perspectives, which lead to drifting of yoga
from the mainstream life of vast majority of
common persons.
Thus; either yoga is left for the privilege of
ascetics, or it is practiced in the form of
physical exercises, posture and breathing
exercises.
Yoga is an art of learning to ride and manage
the horse that life is!
Due to the dominating influence of barbaric
forces of regimentalization in the past several
centuries; and crudely individualistic and/or
socialistic ideologies, in the modern times, the
fabric of life of individuals and society in
India as well as other parts of world; is being
terribly damaged.

3. It is important and urgent to salvage the
Indian and the world society by beginning to
re-explore the wisdom from the scriptures.
But that requires a simultaneous practice of
yoga, which is the art of reorienting yourself
to the concept of simultaneous blossoming of
individual and the universe. This; in other
words is purification.
There are many ways for this. But the
simplest and most feasible way, which can
revitalize and rejuvenate the mainstream life
style, is NAMASMARAN.
