Yoga of Equanimity among College Students

Yash Chitransh, Dr. KC Barmola

Abstract: Yoga is the union of man and master. In order to achieve this union man has to work hard. How this can be achieved is guided by the number of Sages and Saints in India. One of the renowned sages is Patanjali. He has given an eight fold path of yoga to get united with our master. Present study attempted to find how yoga of equanimity (Samvatam) may help to achieve the balance in life of college students. Therefore current study reviewed relevant literature and commentaries to gain a better understanding of yoga of equanimity in our life. It is proposed that understanding oneself, having clear intention, keeping steadiness of mind, being spaciously aware, and maintaining tranquillity may help to achieve Samvatam, or in other word balance in life. This will help students to grow holistically. It is also recommended to explore this empirically more in future.
