Investigators, in this paper try to explore the role of yoga to maintaining good physical and mental health. Yoga in its original sense was devised as a method of spiritual awakening but of late it is being accepted as a science of health. Currently yoga is being taken as a therapeutically agent for health. It not only prevents and cures the disease but also helps in maintenance of positive health. Yoga lays great emphasis on strengthening inherent defensive mechanisms of human body and mind rather than attaching and eradicating individual offending factor. It develops immunity and resistance in human body and helps the body and mind in attaining homeostatic balance. The strengthening of defense mechanism and harmony between mind and body prevents onset of disease. The aim of yoga therefore is also the attainment of physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
