In the form of Yoga, sage Patanjali has created such an unparalleled ladder to climb the heights of salvation. Yoga is the best means to achieve the benefaction of the self. It helps common as well as learned people to unify with the supreme soul. In fact Yoga helps attain a healthy body, a sound mind and a delighted spirit. It is the base of all upliftment and an unending source of spiritual joy. Its continuous practice removes all the doubts that haunt one's mind. Even the bodily postures, which are most prevalent and regarded as Yoga itself, are enough to give someone a healthy body. It is now-a-days widely used in modern medicine the world over to treat large number of diseases successfully.

In the entire ancient Indian literature, deep contemplation on Yoga is found. Yoga has been an ideal way for our great sages who achieved perfection. With the continuous practice and training, they gained unlimited powers. On the importance of Yoga, Uttar Gita says- those who achieve reconciliation through Yoga get freed from the sins of hundreds of births.

Yoga has supreme importance in the building of one's character. Yoga awakens human values in the practitioner. Feelings like forgiveness, mercy, kindness, wisdom and indifference arise naturally in the practitioner of Yoga. Thus, there is no force like Yoga and no friend like Yoga. Thus in a way, Yoga is a rich tradition of Indian culture.

Importance of Yoga is increasingly accepted in the modern education system also. Education is an integral part of life in the society. Since long, our country has led the world in terms of religion, culture, spirituality and education. Unfortunately, under the influence of unmindful aping of western culture, religion, spiritualism and moral education are facing extinction in India today. Like our ancestors, leaders of modern age also insist upon the necessity of moral education for the all-round development of the pupils. Need of integrating Yoga in the modern system of education has been felt. It is a good sign. Children are the true wealth of a nation. By imparting moral education in our children through compulsory teaching of Yoga in our schools, we can be sure of a golden future for our country.
