Abstract
Yoga is an art of healthy living. Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man and Nature. The aim of Yoga is Self-realization, to overcome all kinds of sufferings leading to 'the state of liberation' (Moksha) or ‘freedom’ (Kaivalya). But the modern Yoga has become like the Ship of Theseus. It has moved away from the classical traditions and as taught by the masters like Patanjali. Hatha Yoga has gained superiority over all other practices and it has become a mere physical activity. It has moved away from the original beliefs and practices.
