Mumbai, Jun 21 (IANS): Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said that yoga adopts a holistic approach towards health and well-being and it has "nothing to do with religion".

"Yoga adopts a holistic approach towards health and well-being," Naidu said while participating in the Fourth International Yoga Day celebrations here.

"Yoga has nothing to do with religion and it is a holistic science embodying the basic principle of organic, interconnectedness of different facets of life," he said.

"It is unfortunate that some people attribute religious overtones to this ancient scientific system."

He emphasised that yoga should become a part and parcel of people's daily routine to combat modern-day health problems, both physical and mental.

"There is also a misconception that yoga is only a sort of physical exercise meant to help the fitness of an individual... It is a holistic system where the mind and body act in unison and get completely rejuvenated as physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation help in overall well-being of an individual," he said.

    Agreed that mental health and physical fitness being achieved through Yoga but people’s mentality will never change. Side by side with Yoga also exhibit some improvements in thinking powers and rationality in dealing with others.
    During election times all the attitude goes against the opposition parties, criticizing, abusive language & uttering wrong or biased cheap talk. Why and what is the use promoting Yoga. Be positive in your thinking powers and not only achieving political power.
