If we consider globally allocated land of 51 million sq. km. for agriculture, 77% of this land is used for livestock feed for meat & dairy and only 23% is allotted for growing crops for human consumption. A meat based food choice is a major culprit damaging the environment.

Lack of self-control & discipline especially over food is also a major cause of around 18 million deaths in 2017 due to cardio vascular diseases, 10 million deaths due to cancer and 5 million premature deaths due to obesity.

42.1% of the adults in the world consumed alcohol in 2010, while the share in India was 15.1%.

How can yoga exercise and yoga meditation can solve all these problems?

It is lack of self control and imbalance in the lives of human race which is inducing all these issues. People need help in self control and balancing their lives.

The yoga practices, spirituality and meditation empowers people to reclaim thier destiny. It is said that cost of your good habits are in present and the cost of our bad habits are in the future. Cultivating habits of yoga facilitates harmony, a source of restraint and responsibility within a person, real
love and affection between people and a sense of respect towards the planet and a commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle in one’s lifestyle choices and habits. This is the essence of yoga
