Preface Modern lifestyle is posing a serious challenge to human health. The fast pace of ever changing trends in modern life is causing physical, moral, mental and spiritual problems. Chaos and confusion, stress and tension, commercialization and competition in every walk of life has lead to a situation where man is finding itself helpless regarding his personal health and hygiene. An individual who comes to this earth has every right to enjoy each every gift of nature, to live freely and happily. Technological advancement has resulted in reduction of physical labour and increased mental labour. Tough mental labour in turn has resulted in psychosomatic disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, insomnia, acidity, gastric problems, etc. Basically these disorders are caused due to faulty eating habits, stressful working conditions, lack of physical exercises and proper rest.

Introduction It is fairly evident from the evolutionary history of man that he has been in constant search for happiness. This search has led the modern man to new creations and luxuries. The grave for sensual pleasures, more comforts, better jobs, name, fame and power are all aimed to get more and more happiness. This may be called the western approach of modern civilization to life, very much discernible throughout the world today. This is hopefully designed around desires and their fulfillment.
