The world stands for diversity where every element has its characteristics and the unification of all the elements seems impossible and thus holds man with some misconception. There are many common misconceptions which stand between the truths of Yoga and those who live in the Western world . Srimad Bhagwad Gita, describes Yoga as equanimity of mind which results in the efficiency of action. For those to whom Yoga represents a religion as well as a way of life. Yoga means the union or linking together of a man with God, or the disunion or separation of man from the objects of physical sensation in the material world. Just as two pieces of metal are welded together to become one, so in the philosophy of Yoga, the embodied spirit of the individual becomes one with the Universal Spirit through the regular practice of certain physical and mental exercises. Yoga is the art of life and its philosophy is meant to furnish the principles that justify and explain that art. Some say as Yoga is the science of the unification of Jiva and Eshwar. Those who try Yoga as a tool for overcoming all sorts of pain
