Mental health is defined as the absence of psychological disorders and it is important for a person to keep his health harmonious. Mental health is not a matter of present-day society, it has been considered through yoga and meditation. It is true that yoga and meditation provide positive energy to the person and teach a person to make a connection with individuality and its ultimate source. The concept of mental health is very widely described in our ancient treasure- The Srimad Bhagavad Gita. By entire science of yoga, it is described through Arjuna’s enquiry and Shri Krishna’s responses. Throughout Bhadvad Gita chapter 6 namely Abhyas yog is totaly based on yoga and meditation. Gita has advocated that mental health can be obtained through mental control or dhyan or meditation which are the energetic styles of yoga. Gita also describes the characteristics of yogi and types of yoga as depicted in each chapter. In this way a man can develop his mental health through Visada Yoga, Sankhya Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma-Vairagya Yoga, Abhyasa Yoga, Paramahamsa Vijnana Yoga, Aksara-Parabrahman Yoga, Raja-Vidya-Guhya Yoga, Vibhuti-Vistara-Yoga, Visvarupa-Darsana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Ksetra-Ksetrajna Vibhaga Yoga, Gunatraya-Vibhaga Yoga, Purusottama Yoga, Daivasura-Sampad-Vibhaga Yoga, Sraddhatraya-Vibhaga Yoga and Moksa-Opadesa Yoga. They are the sources of self-actualization and ways to enjoy a perfect life.
