DON'T BE afraid of yoga, eminent Hindu statesman Rajan Zed told practitioners of different faiths.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada, United States of America, said that although introduced and nourished by Hinduism, yoga was a world heritage to be utilised by all.
According to National Institutes of Health, Yoga may help one to feel more relaxed, be more flexible, improve posture, breathe deeply, and get rid of stress.
Swami Vivekananda reportedly brought yoga to USA in 1893. According to an estimate, about 16 million Americans now do yoga.
He further said that one could still practice one’s respective faith and do yoga. Yoga would rather help one in achieving one’s spiritual goals in whatever religion one believed in. It was not at odds with any faith and rather made one spiritually healthier. Question of spiritual confusion was irrelevant as yoga brought more clarity in thought.
Rajan Zed further said that yoga, referred as 'a living fossil' whose traces went back to around 2,000 BCE to Indus Valley civilisation was a mental and physical discipline handed down from one guru to next, for everybody to share and benefit from.

According to Patanjali, who codified it in Yoga Sutra, yoga was a methodical effort to attain perfection, through the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical. Yoga was based on an eightfold path to direct the practitioner from awareness of the external world to a focus on the inner.
