A super structure having the combination of body, mind and spirit is called a human being. Education is incomplete if the growth of these three aspects is not done in a right proportion. Neglecting one sphere of human personality and promoting the other produces the persons who are like ‘half cooked food’ which always disturbs the digestive system of the consumer. The relevance of ‘intelligence quotient’ and ‘emotional quotient’ has been realized by our education system but the concept of ‘spiritual quotient’ is still waiting for its consideration in the practical sense. Even after the completion of higher studies, student leaves the formal educational institution with good mental growth but he feels himself shallow at his spiritual level. This book focusses on the role of Yoga for holistic education which may assist the learners to become fearless and courageous to make the society a peaceful and happy place to live in.
