- <p><span>This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of yoga's influence on mental health, integrating findings from contemporary scientific research with foundational principles derived from classical yoga texts. While modern empirical studies increasingly validate yoga's efficacy in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress-related disorders, the ancient yogic tradition has always centered on understanding and mastering the mind as the path to liberation from suffering (</span><span>duhkha</span><span>). This paper synthesizes evidence from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and neurobiological studies with insights from core texts including the </span><span>Yoga Sutras of Patanjali</span><span>, the </span><span>Bhagavad Gita</span><span>, and the </span><span>Haṭha Yoga Pradipika</span><span>. The analysis reveals a remarkable convergence: modern science confirms the mechanisms (e.g., HPA axis regulation, neuroplasticity, autonomic balance) underlying the mental health benefits described in classical texts as resulting from the cessation of mental fluctuations (</span><span>citta vrtti nirodhah</span><span>) and the overcoming of afflictions (</span><span>klesas</span><span>). This integrated perspective positions yoga not merely as a complementary therapy, but as a sophisticated psychophysiological system offering timeless wisdom and practical tools for cultivating mental resilience, emotional regulation, and enduring well-being. Recommendations for future research and clinical implementation are discussed.</span></p>
