    The roots of yuvaa yoga come from the ancient Tamil script called the Thirumandhiram in which it is said that human evolution started with three important mandalas.  These mandalas are : Surya Mandala (sun oriented), Chandra Mandala (moon oriented) and Agni Mandala (fire oriented).  These three mandalas exist inside all living beings and within the human body.
