There are various paths of Yog that lead toward this goal, each one a specialized branch of one comprehensive system. The ultimate goal of yog is moksh (liberation). Though the exact definition of what form this takes depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated. In Shiv theology, for example yog is used to unite kundalini with Shiv. Mahabharat defines the purpose of yog as the experience of uniting the individual Atman pronounced as aatam with the universal Brahman pronounced as BRaHMM that pervades all things.

Spiritual goals aside, now a days, the physical postures of the Yog Aasans are used to alleviate health problems, reduce stress and make the spine supple. Yog is also used as a complete exercise program and physical therapy routine. Many ailments and diseases can be cured by Yogic methods alone without the need for any medication.

Good health ought to be everybody’s concern, not solely the medical profession’s business. In my own case, for many years, and largely due to the shortcomings of the modern medical system, I faced some profound health challenges. In my despair, I earnestly began my study of methods of treatment and cures of ailment and disease. Putting the time-tested Yog cure methods into practice proved so beneficial in my own case of ailments that I took to studying their applications for several health issues as well. What began as mere jottings was gradually expanded into full-length articles on the subject “Cure without Medicines“. The reader’s response was overwhelming and several of them suggested that the articles be compiled in a book. This coupled with the well receiving of my sessions on Yog, meditation, health,nutrition and nature cure held at various venues in India and abroad inspired me to word together a comprehensive book for the benefit of all. The Path of Yog: Cure without Medicines is a result of that. Experience, they say, is the most convincing teacher, and for me too it happened like that I overcame many health challenges with the help of Yog and Panayam. I was introduced to Yog at an early age and met my first YOG teacher at the age of 17, who taught me Yog-aasans (postures) and Pranayams.
