The problem is we are getting more and more embedded in the physical and trying to progress through the route of physical—the result is evident in the form of widespread pollution. If you take a look at three major ‘advancements’ in recent history—industrial revolution, green revolution and white revolution—you can see for yourself. Today our rivers are filled with industrial wastes as is the atmosphere, the forests have been replaced by factories, the food is laden with chemicals and pesticides, and milk is a concoction of steroids and toxins. The same is the case with our bodies. Youth today is characterised by bespectacled eyes, bent spine, weak bones and joints, obesity—all these are product of failure of the newer innovative forms of yoga and fitness regimes which have done more harm than good.

Modern yoga programs are rooted in pure commerce, guided by the principle of profit maximisation by cost cutting and innovation, disaster is certain. Just like disaster was certain in the three modern revolutions. Yoga is the science of giving back to Creation, for we owe a lot to it. The moment you tie the subject to maya (commerce), it loses its efficacy because the purpose of yoga is to open bondages, not tie you more into them. Yoga takes you beyond, something which very few understand and hardly anyone teaches, because there is no market for it.
