Dr. Rajiba Lochan Behera

Abstract: Life of a being these days is very tough and rough. So, the wellbeing of our life is to take some time out for ourself; to slow down, to respire. If you want to move, it is more appealing to most than ever before. In today?s fast-paced world, a holistic approach of wellbeing is more crucial than ever. The wellbeing of our life lies a trilogy of yoga that is composed of the main triple factors; mind, body, and life/soul. Let us delve a deeper understanding into the harmonious relationship of these triple factors; mind, body, and life/soul, such kind of relationship is considered as Yoga which is nothing but the Macro-trilogy of mind, body and soul. Yoga, really is for everyone which positively impact all mentally, physically, and spiritually to generate a balanced life. The study of yoga is based upon a profound philosophy of life and consciousness. It is not just a system of mere practices devoid of any theoretical background. Rather, it is one of the greatest philosophies in the world which can be studied as an important subject for a lifetime. The main contention of this paper is to explore the trilogy of mind, body and soul in the realm of Indian philosophy. According to the Indian Philosophy of Yoga (hereafter, IPoY), we feel best when our mind, body and soul maintain a harmonious relationship. But, how does it possible? Even if it?s possible often but does it possible forever? According to IPoY, there are nine essential elements of the trilogy of mind, body and soul which generates the harmony. The macro trilogy of mind, body and soul realizes its full potential when you nurture the essential elements of each which seems some Micro-trilogy; Mind: beliefs, perceptions, thoughts Body: sustenance, rest, movement and Soul: desire. wisdom, purpose.
