Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has extended invitations to other Hollywood celebrities to explore yoga, referred as “a living fossil”, which he says is both a mental and physical discipline by means of which the human-soul (jivatman) unites with universal-soul (parmatman).In a statement from Nevada, Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that some sages had described yoga as the silencing of all mental transformations, which leads to the total realisation of the Supreme Self. Some people have used yoga in an effort to gain liberation by removing all sensory barriers.

Zed added that according to Patanjali, author of the basic text, the Yoga Sutra, who codified yoga after it was founded by Yajanavalkya, yoga was a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.
