Scientific Studies in Yoga १९१
(e) No less important is a preventive aspect of Yogic routine though no data seem to be available about the efficacy of Yogic practices as a profilatic measure. (f) Above all, studies on transformation of human personality through various channels employed in Yoga is the prime need of the day.
Some Suggestions
From the scientific researches in Yoga we should be in a position to formulate plausible inferences and explanatory conceptulizations. This requires larger amount of data on the similar problems dealt with from different angles, which is to be put together. In doing this whether the data pertains to single Yoga practice or more, we cannot lose the sight of the unified nature of Yogic practices.
At present there is no exhaustive bibliography available of all the scientific work done so far or being done in various parts of the country. Therefore such researches remain isolated and uncoroborated. There is a need of a co-ordinating body, who could take regular and systamatic review of researches, take surveys, analysis of existing literature, prepare glossaries, pose problems for solutions, undertake new experimental work using the index of modern medicine and psycho-physiology, establishing standards in Yogic research by removing the lacunae and help creating facilities for genuine research. Thus, much needs to be done by way of research on sound lines in the field of Yogic research. The field is full of potentialities for research and we hope to see this field of research developed in future.

योग का वैज्ञानिक अध्ययन

योग को मात्र अध्यात्मविद्या मानने के कारण इसके विषय में वैज्ञानिक अनुसंधान प्रारंभ में विवादास् पद रहा. पर १९२० से स्वामी कुवलयानंद ने इसका प्रारंभ किया। यह योग की मूलभूत धारणाओं एवं प्रविधियों पर शरीर क्रिया विज्ञान, मनोविज्ञान तथा परामनोविज्ञान की दृष्टि से तथा उसके स्वास्थ्य प्रेरक एवं निरोधक गुणों पर आधुनिक उपकरण तकनीकों का उपयोग कर भारत तथा अन्य देशों में अनेक प्रयोगशालाओं में किया जा रहा है। इसके अनेक उत्साहकारो परिणाम मिले हैं। इनका विवरण एक पूर्वलेख में दिया गया है। योग के अनुसंधानों में अभी पर्याप्त कमियाँ हैं, दिशा विविधता है, संदर्भ-सूची का अभाव है। लेखक ने इन्हें दूर करने की आवश्यकता सुझाई है ।
