Much has been written about the benefits of practicing Yoga. But, the scientific community world over are not fully convince due to minimum data available to cross check before and after yoga.
Yoga may be beneficial to a certain extent if one does the yoga exercise on a regular basic. But, my question to the people who advocate yoga and who strongly believe it has medical cure to various alignments. First of all, can they demonstrate scientifically their finding to international institutions and universities of repute for cross verifications and possible counter challenge. Please remember even Indian homeopathic medicines are banned in Australia and in some other very advance countries due to high content of lead and other banned substances.
Yoga has its limitation. I don’t buy the idea that by doing yoga one can feel relax and less stressful. Can a hardcore murdered or criminal get relief from his/her guilt conscious by practicing yoga? A sin or guilty conscious can’t be repaired by mere undertaking yoga exercise. That guilty person must repent and ask forgiveness to the victim or to the victim families. A corrupt person who has made wealth by cheating and fraud can never assume to be relaxed and less stressful by undertaking yoga exercise. His / Her soul and conscious will never allow them to have a happy and peaceful life. Therefore, yoga is just a temporary relief and not a permanent cure for alignment, peace and happiness.
