STUDY OF TEACHERS' ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOGA EDUCATION

The word Yoga is derived from the root word ‘Yuj', which generally means ‘to join'. In spiritual language, Yoga means the merging of a person's soul with God in such a way that there is no separation from it again and that soul itself becomes God. In other words, Yoga means ‘to meet' like the soul meeting in God. The meeting of Sun and Moon from which joyful (sukha) energy flows is the cause of salvation. Just as when hydrogen and oxygen mix, a third substance, water is formed, when both of them mix, a new substance is created. Similarly, by the union of mind and life, by the union of Sun and Moon, a new thing is born. Similarly, by doing yoga, something new is born in man. Its name is yoga. Yoga is a complete science, a complete way of life, a complete medical practice and a complete spiritual discipline. The present research has studied the attitude of teachers towards yoga education. The results were obtained by statistical calculation by administering tests to measure attitude towards yoga education on teachers and educationists of rural and urban areas of Patna district. From which it has been found that rural teachers are more inclined towards yoga education than urban teachers. Whereas urban teachers pay more attention to yoga than rural teachers. Therefore, if the attitude of teachers towards yoga education is positive, then undoubtedly healthy, skilled, strong and virtuous citizens will be prepared in India.
