SRM MCH & RC’s Pro Vice Chancellor (Medical and Health Sciences) Lt Col Dr A Ravikumar said, “Self-discipline can help master the world, not in terms of being a ruler but understanding the meaning of life and knowing how to lead a healthy life. Good health should consist of being mentally, physically, and spiritually well. If one has a calm mind, the body will also be calm. This is what yoga teaches us — to control our body, mind and spirit.”
