The Hidden Connection Between Yoga and Physics and Why it Matters for Your Health

Yoga and quantum physics draw upon the same timeless wisdom.

Yoga is one of the few ways to realize the ultimate truth referred to in Vedanta and the universal energy field in quantum physics.

The sublime and invisible truth of Vedanta is made more concrete through Yoga. It is the launching pad for a transformative journey into inner space.

Yoga is the key that opens the floodgates of happiness, both for the individual as well as the community. It has the power to negate the personal and collective misery that comes through individualistic and egoistic tendencies that we have accumulated over the years.  

Yoga not only brings conspicuous benefits such as health and vibrancy, but also uplifts the spirit and enhances our intuitive ability. Intuitive intelligence is the basis of quantum-mechanical predictions. Undoubtedly, intuition and a higher self-awareness are imperative for the proper functioning of government, society and the individual.

Yoga brings skill in action and helps one manage challenging situations without getting stressed.

Did you know that every child is a born yogi? Upto the age of three, children all over the world naturally perform many Yoga postures and mudras. If you pay attention you would also notice that the baby’s state of mind and breathing patterns are very similar to that of a yogi.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to re-discover this child-like innocence and bliss?

Yoga, is a great way to achieve this delightful state. Reputable health organizations are proving more and more how Yoga has helped countless people recover from many illnesses.

Yoga also has the power to instantly bring about a complete equilibrium in one’s personality and correct extreme complexes and tendencies naturally. In fact, Yoga holds the promise of many solutions that today’s behavioral sciences are grappling with.

When people have a glimpse of a blissful meditative experience, their life gets transformed totally. This phenomena has been observed in prisons too. When the inmates start with basic pranayama, they move into meditation easily and their character starts reflecting the yamas and niyamas of Yoga – the social and personal codes of conduct as enunciated by Maharishi Patanjali. From militants and prisoners to monks and poets, Yoga can radically transform the lives of people in inconceivable ways. It softens the heart, sharpens the intellect and clears confusion. This makes it abundantly clear how important it is to make Yoga accessible to people in all stratas of the society.

In this century, when depression is one of the biggest challenges that the world is facing, Yoga is undoubtedly the best app that everyone must download in their life!

Similar to science, sports and culture, the philosophy & discipline of Yoga, also need state patronage to flourish. When people at the helm of affairs practice Yoga, it brings greater harmony and less one-upmanship and rhetoric. If the heads of all nations start adhering to the wisdom of Yoga, true world peace would soon become a reality. Ultimately helping mankind in making a quantum leap forward!
