Yoga does not go by beliefs; it goes by investigations and discoveries. I want to develop the scientific side of yoga with the help of open-minded examiners and investigators  

because yoga science has much to contribute to the good of humanity.

I am absolutely sure about it. It is science, scientists, and scientific thinking winch will preside over the destiny of humankind, and this science will recognize the potential of yoga for humanity.
—Swami Satyananda Saraswati
