Mother and Sri Aurobindo encouraged people to participate in sports and martial arts. In some sports, especially martial arts, there’s a high likelihood of getting injured, sometimes causing long-term damage. Is it worth the pain? Or is it better to do some exercise such as yoga, in which one’s health is not compromised🤔?

There was a time when the Mother encouraged the Ashram students as well as Ashram inmates to participate in the physical education activities to prepare
