"The equilibrium between equilibrium between the mind and the body, the Purusha and the Prakriti of the Sankhya, the soul and energy, matter and spirit, have always demanded great care in India. Both are subject to training and discipline, and the growth of one at the cost of the other will mean disharmony. It is a pleasure to find India devoting attention to physical culture, and the name of Ramesh Balsekar might be mentioned as an instance of a perfect human specimen in its physical development. This will be clear to all those who go through the plates of this book. The purpose of this book will be fulfilled if young men and women of India start to realize the importance of developing a healthy, beautiful and proportionate body". (Foreword by Uday Shankar)
