2. Introduction A healthy life is the most important for a happy life. The modern pace of life hardly gives time to take care of health. But ancient Indian wisdom says that the true fulfillment of life begins with good health. Good health is the key to a happy life for both men and women but in a fast and demanding life of men, health unfortunately takes a backseat whereas it should be of prime concern. In these competitive times, health is put on the back-burner until it becomes too serious to ignore. For a healthy life, numerous things have to be set in order. Watching the calories, good exercises and healthy food is absolutely essential ( Maoshing , 2008).

3. Born is to live in happiness. Birth is not for being tortured by Diseases. Happiness is the birth-right. The whole creation is meant to endow the happiness. No one outside can prevent from being happy. Not even God can prevent from enjoying bliss. When God has created this universe and men in order to live in happiness and Peace, god is certainly not going to prevent from being happy. It is one who lose the own happiness. It is not lost through the fault of others.

4. The responsibility is self only. Disease represents only the reverse state of happiness. When the body losses its balance it becomes ill. Peace and happiness are twin expressions of the same quality. Without peace there is no happiness and the absence of happiness denotes loss of Peace. Illness of the body will affect the mind also. Mental illness will affect the body. The mind which is ill adversely affects the brain, the nervous system and finally destroys the entire body. Real pleasure or happiness is not born from anything bad. It does not lead to any evil result. The real pleasure is near to nature and productive of good results

5. Role of Yoga in Human Life Yoga is as old as civilization. Early Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita and the Yoga sutras of Patanjali are universally accepted as constituting the verbal foundation of the Yoga tradition. The word Yoga automatically calls to mind Sage "Patanjali" the founder and father of Yoga. He lived around three centuries before Christ, and was a great philosopher and grammarian. He was also a physician and a medical work is attributed to him. However, this work is now lost in the pages of time. His best-known work is Patanjali Yoga Sutras of Aphorisms on Yoga. The path outlined is called Raja Yoga or the sovereign path. It is so called because of the regal, noble method by which the self is united with the oversell.

6. Patanjali Yoga has essentially to do with the mind and its modifications. It deals with the training of the mind to achieve oneness with the Universe. Incidental to this objective are the acquisition of siddhis or powers. In its recorded history and continuous evolution, Yoga has come to represent not only the ultimate goal, but also the many practices, techniques, methods and ways that move towards that goal. Thus, the literature includes numerous yogic paths. Yoga's classical definition is derived from the Sanskrit root " Yuj ". Yoga represents the study, path and the means to proceed and also the absolute aim, which includes the following core concepts: the union of opposites, the effect of the outside world has on the body, the yearning for and seeking of form of liberation; the merging of the individual consciousness with the Universal consciousness and the interest of discovering and attaining one's true self

7. Yoga has turned into the design of the day. Millions everywhere throughout the world have taken to yoga practices. Step by step the comprehension of yoga is getting depended. Yoga is a strategy for discovering that expects to accomplish the solidarity of mind, body, and soul through these three primary Yoga structures: Exercise, Breathing, and Meditation.

The Breathing Techniques depend on the idea that breath is the wellspring of life in the body.
