Introduction
Ideologically communal relationship and bonding between more than one people is renowned as a seed of society but in present time people are busy with game of acquisitiveness related to the power, authority and position. Conceptually interpersonal bonding, peacefully living is fundamental content of a society. Literally these are engulfed by market economy and consumerist culture. Literature, the mirror of society has been signifying that during the way of transforming process life came in earth on millions years ago and unorganized human beings were preferred to go with organized life style for the effect of fear from natural disaster. Under the process of development uncivilized primordial human civilization was flourished in earth in-between 10,000 to 8,000BC (The Arctic Home in the Vedas by Bal Gangadhar Tilak). Indian civilization has been renowned as an old civilization in world history. Mr. Naeem Tahir declared on his book “Melluhas of the Indus valley 8,000 -500BC” that Indus valley civilization was existed 5,000 years ago on the bank of the Indus. Veda, The first literature in world was formed in myth of India in-between 6000BC to 5000BC [1]. Vedic text has always been proposed a way to enrich the knowledge about ancient society and culture of India.
Along with infrastructural development, promotion of consumerist culture and dissatisfactory life style, growing number of diseases, humiliating incident are also became a part of present society- this is the global scenario. People are pulling by dissatisfactory aspiration of primordial mind. Sensual enjoyment, techno-depended mechanized life, animalistic attitude, infirmity life style is common in this era. Yet, problems and challenges are common features of every society- it was, it is and it will exist in future also. As on the regulation of nature so many practices are adding, modifying and isolating from society. However the concept of “Right” and “Wrong” had not specified in Vedic era but it is observed from the manuscript related to post-Vedic period that ancient sages were identified the tendency of wildness or animalistic behaviour on human character and as an solution they introduced regulation of life with the name of “Civil duty”. Indeed physical, mental and behavioural control is the core content of the civil duty. Continuously up growing number of incident such as sexual harassment, molestation, trafficking and rape, destroying life by different weapon, fighting for property, robbery and gambling, addiction are also became a part of modernization. Inside of development index social control and barrier are gradually going down. Similarly, humanity, solidarity, morality, honesty and social ethics are failed to fight with dissatisfactory aspiration of a person. People are born as a baby, not a criminal or nobler – as an outcome of situation people are enriched immoral or moral personality. Simultaneously arising numbers of polarize topics such as “Law” and “Crime”, “Medicine” and “Disease”, “Academic up gradation” and “Humiliating attitude”, “Availability of consumer product” and “Dissatisfactory aspiration” etc are clearly indicating that materialize development is not the perfect indicator of modernization. “Self control” as well as “Social control” is most important than infrastructural and technological development.
According to direction of ancient literatures “yog” practice is best and easily way to control human body, mind and attitude. Yet, yog is well known name in 21st century, even it is observed that the acceptance of yog practices are increased day by day from last few years. Perhaps, the perception of yog practice existed in Indian culture from earlier time however in present society the conception of yoga has defined as a process or method of wealthy figure and fruitful mind. Ideologically it is far away from philosophy of yog in Vedic texts. According the subjective sense yog is the relation between different components. For the effect of globalization and modernization not only the name of yog, even the conception of yog is also changed by thousands years socialization process. Conception of yog is used on various aspects in different literature but the philosophy of yog is itself a unique philosophy under six schools of philosophy. “yogas chitta vritti nirodhah” means “yog is the removal of the fluctuations of the mind” under Yog Sutra [2] is the formal definition of yog introduce by Maharishi Patanjali, the inventor of yog. yog converted to yoga for the trend of modernization and globalization.
Reason to verify the theoretical expectation of yog this study had conducted with 100 youth population of a megacity and it surrounding areas. In this study overall 39 psycho-behavioural components related to daily life of a person had been selected to observe the effect of yog practice.

Although apart from above 15 regulations rest 24 regulations are from rank 2 to rank 24 with individual impact factors i.e.- regulation “MBAA” from 2nd rank with impact value 99.96%, regulation “MBBA” from 3rd rank with impact 99.93%, regulation “SCBB” from 4th rank with impact 99.88%, regulation “MBAB” from 5th rank with impact 99.84%, regulation “MCAA” from 6th rank with impact 99.83%, regulation “MBBB” from 7th rank with impact 99.81%, regulation “MAAA” from 8th rank with impact 99.80%, regulation “MABA” from 8th rank with impact 99.68%, regulation “MCBA” from 10th rank with impact 99.66 %, regulation “SBBA” from 11th rank with impact 99.65%, regulation “MCBB” from 12th rank with impact 99.51%, regulation “MAAB” from 13th rank with impact 99.49%, regulations “SCAA” and “SBAA” from 14th rank with impact 99.44%, regulation “MBCA” from 15th rank with impact 99.36%, regulation “SCBA” from 16th rank with impact 99.07 %, regulation “MBCB” from 17th rank with impact 98.72 %, regulation “SBAB” from 18th rank with impact 98.50%, regulation “SAAC” from 19th rank with impact 97.95%, regulation “SBBB” from 20th rank with impact 97.78%, regulation “SABA” from 21th rank with impact 93.16%, regulation “SAAB” from 22th rank with impact 92.80%, regulation “SABB” from 23rd rank with impact 88.32 %, regulation “SAAA ” from 24th rank with impact 85.16% respectively.
