Foreword

Man is not only the body but the mind too. He is not only the mind but the spirit too. Western concept of fitness, it seems, doesn't go beyond the peripheral understanding of making adjustment on the physiological levels but the recent development in medical science groped into many unexplored dimensions of health and thus gone deeper in understanding the inner connections of human health. So, alongside preparing doses of being physically fit day in and day out, the modern time pays much more attention on how to remain physiologically balanced and maintain a perfect decorum. But Indian understanding of human health goes even beyond these two axis, two gamut of thoughts. Thus, the efforts in this book are highly commendable as it provides comprehensive and updated pieces of information on the effect of Yogic exercises on the students of physiological and psychological variables. This book is meant for the beginners and is very effective for the enhancement of not only the psychological and physiological health but at the level of being or spirit for a concrete performance in life. The concept and the data collection is based on a thorough research work done by the author about the effect of selected Yogic exercise on Delhi secondary school male students of the aforesaid variables. This book shall definitely be a positive note in the world of wilderness today for the benefit of millions.
