Reflections on the
Cover Page
The original Marathi article of Shri Shreedhar Parab
published under the column ‘Mukhaprushtha
Pahatana’ in Yoga Varta's issue for the month of June
2016 has been excellently translated into English by
Shri Nitin Tawde (YVN's Yoga Teacher of 39th batch
of YTTC). The said English version of Shri Shreedhar
Parab's article in Marathi is being published
hereunder with profound thanks to Shri Nitin Tawde
whose mobile no. is 9819186655).
Seeing the first prize winning beautiful poster
prepared by Vandana Ranjalkar (one of the talented,
brilliant students of 40th Yoga Teachers Training
Course, Vashi) used most appropriately for the cover
page of this month’s Yoga Varta, the first thought
came in the mind that probably no other picture than
this could have so effectively communicated the
message of Internationl Day of Yoga embodied in its
tag line - ‘Yoga for Harmony & Peace...’ The artist has exhibited most
creative imagination in depicting the ‘Mother Earth’ who is representing
the human race on this globe with ‘Peace’ radiating on her face. The
two cupped palms, in a shape of earth coloured in blue and brown
represent water and land respectively. The joined palms indicate as if
the eastern and western worlds are united through Yoga. Finally, the
Universal Symbol of Peace - the ‘White Dove’ is casting the bright light
of tranquility on the globe and the face of ‘Mother Earth’ and in fact, on
all the human beings.
The Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi, while
Yoga Varta : June 2017 6
`moJdmVm©
addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations on 27th
September 2014, put forward a proposal for consideration of all Nations,
that 21st June be celebrated as 'International Yoga Day' worldwide and
masses shall be motivated to practise most beneficial Yoga. His proposal
was spontaneously seconded by leaders of various member countries
like United States of America, Canada, China, etc. As a result, the
proposal to observe 21st June as 'International Day of Yoga'- (IDY) was
passed unanimously on 11th December 2014 in the UN General
Assembly having 193 members. The Prime Minister personally took
interest in its organisation and hence, this special day having historical
importance from Indian point of view, was celebrated on a large scale
with lots of fanfare and with great enthusiasm across the entire Nation
and in various other countries too. Our saints and sages have cultivated
broader perspective that ‘whatever good ideas or thoughts we come
across anywhere in the world, shall always be welcomed, as per the
verse from ‘Upanishada’ - "Am Zmo ^Ðm… H«$Vdmo `§Vw {dœV…&' This is the
reason why our saints and sages feel that ‘the entire Universe is my
home’ - "ho {dœ{M _mPo Ka&' In ancient Indian culture, the various
scriptures and arts have been created for the overall development and
well-being of the human race by contemplating over whatever that is
seen useful and wonderful as per this shloka - "OJmÀ`m H$ë`mUm g§Vm§À`m{d^y{V&'One amongst them is ‘Yoga’ which is very important and useful
applied science. Every Indian must be feeling pleased and proud to see
our ‘Yogashastra’ being accepted at the Global level.
Even this date ‘21st June’ has been very thoughtfully selected as
‘International Day of Yoga’. This day marks the beginning of the ‘summer
solstice’ in northern hemisphere. This day is considered as an important
day in many parts of the world. More importantly, 21st June is the
longest day for all the countries in northern hemisphere. On this day,
the Sun is available for maximum period to provide its light, vigour and
life-supporting energy to the people in many countries. In the ancient
Indian scriptures it is mentioned - "gy`© AmË_mOJVñVñWwfü&' which
means the Sun is the Master of the Universe, Soul and Protector of all
7 Yoga Varta : June 2017
`moJdmVm©
living beings. It is an age old concept that one can express his desire for
good health with the Sun God and gets the same fulfilled as mentioned
in this verse - "Amamo½`§ ^mñH$am{XÀN>oV²&' Considering all these factors, the
selection of the date 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga’ seems to
be the most appropriate.
These days quite many days of every month are allotted for some or
the other specific purpose and are celebrated with great fanfare. Most
of them are celebrated only as some kind of event. More often, the basic
concept or the core idea is forgotten. Hardly anyone remembers such
days later on. If the ‘International Day of Yoga’ is also celebrated
ceremoniously only on a particular day and the objectives and purpose
don't remain alive in public memory, then this day too would fail to serve
its purpose of public welfare in true sense. However, seeing the way the
entire world celebrated the first ‘International Day of Yoga’ on 21st June
2015, and the second International Day of Yoga on 21st June 2016 with
sincerity and immense enthusiasm, it gives confidence that not only this
year but every year this International Day of Yoga (IDY) will be celebrated
with same enthusiasm and will provide an inspiration for many people
across the world to practise Yoga and to adopt Yoga as ‘lifestyle’. Swami
Kuvalayananda, the Guru of our honourable Nimbalkar Guruji and
Founder of Kaivalyadham Institute at Lonavala had long ago announced –
“Yoga has a complete message for humanity. It has a message for the
human body, for the human mind and for the human spirit”. Getting
inspired from the ‘International Day of Yoga’, if majority of people give
their sincere efforts, then the future of the mankind will certainly be
brighter. The science of Yoga has lot to offer to everyone in this world
for physical and mental health, containment and peace. Lack of mutual
trust is distinctly observed in today's world to a large extent. Not only
amongst the various nations but even within the country also, a lot of
dreadful and gruesome incidents like terroristic acts, battles, quarrels
and fights are taking place amongst various sects and religions on
number of reasons or disputes. No wonder, in such a scenario, if all the
peace-loving people in the world look upon ‘Yoga’ as a ray of hope.
Yoga Varta : June 2017 8
`moJdmVm©
‘Yoga’ doesn't mean only some Yogasanas, Bandhas, Mudras,
Pranayamas & Meditational practices. Actually speaking, ‘Yoga’ is advised
as a multifaceted, peaceful, affectionate and healthy lifestyle that
establishes purity and honesty for the overall development and progress
of human being. The word ‘Yoga’ encompasses a far larger meaning. It
includes various branches of Yoga like Gyana Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti
Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Laya Yoga as also the Ashtanga Yoga (also
called as Raj Yoga) of Maharshi Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga which is the
most popular one today. Fundamentally, all of them were advised as path
for spiritual upliftment. However, very few people are ready for the
required dedicated, long term practice of Yoga under the proper guidance.
Generally, masses are attracted towards Yoga for psychosomatic health, ,
happiness, contentment, peace and for overall personality development.
Although the ultimate goal or the final destination of Yoga is to attain the
blissful state of Samadhi (Kaivalyavastha) that is to achieve the highest
spiritual status, not everyone is having the required zest or capacity for the
same. One thing is for sure that it has been experienced and proved that
the Yoga sadhak who treads on the path of Yoga as per his own capacity
too, gets the many benefits like physical and mental health, energy,
happiness, qualitative upliftment, proficiency in work skills and many
more. It is seen today that people from various countries are practising
Yoga with different motives. Amongst them, some have chosen Yoga
practices as simple supplementary treatment for diseases, ailments and
certain physical problems or as best preventive measure for avoiding such
diseases and problems. Yoga fulfills the various expectations of such
people quite satisfactorily when practised faithfully, with consistent
regularity and in a proper manner. That's why the verse given below, from
the famous scripture ‘Hatahpradipika’ is looked upon by all as a lighthouse
in an ocean of life, which is guiding as well as comforting for the mind -
Aeof VmnVßVmZm§ g_ml`_R>mo hR>…&Aeof `moJ`wº$mZm§ AmYmaH$_R>mo hR>…&& (h.à. 1.10)
This means Yoga is like a sanitorium for those who are suffering from
9 Yoga Varta : June 2017
`moJdmVm©
various problems in the life and as a firm support like a tortoise for
faithful and ardent practitioners of Yoga who follow and study various
types of Yoga.
The word 'Yoga' is basically derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuja’
which means ‘to join’. From this point of view, it is felt that Yoga can be
very useful to unite all – young and old, males and females from various
different religions, castes, languages, cultures, etc. with each other. The
verse - "`moJ… H$_©gw H$m¡ec_²&' in ‘Bhagvad Gita’ by Yogeshwar Shri
Krishna clearly states that whoever practises Yoga, naturally experiences
remarkable expertise and utmost ease in every action. This way, if
people from various countries performing in different fields can elevate
their level of expertise by practising Yoga, then it is needless to say that
these countries too will progress rapidly.
The definition of health by World Health Organization (WHO) is very
much matching with the Indian concept of health in Yoga. According to
WHO definition, 'health is a state of complete physical, mental and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity'.
This comprehensive health depends upon five main factors. The first
factor is ‘genetics’ which is termed as destiny, fate, luck, merit or
demerits of the past , etc. This comprises of the virtues and vices passed
on from our ancestors. The next factor that follows is ‘environment’ or
the habitat where we live or work or spend our maximum time. It is not
possible to gain complete control or make any radical changes in these
two factors. Hence, these two factors are considered as non-changeable
or non-modifiable factors of health. The next three factors influencing
health are ‘Ahar’ (Intake), Vihar (Activities ) and ‘Vishranti’ (Rest). We
can change these factors, according to our needs, desires and as per
own capacity, means we can gain control over them. In that sense, Ahar,
Vihar and Vishranti are considered changeable or modifiable factors of
health. Yogeshwar Bhagwan Shri Krishna emphasises through the
aphorism below that it is very important for a Yoga Sadhak to adopt a
lifestyle comprised of appropriate Ahar, Vihar and Vishranti.
Yoga Varta : June 2017 10

`wº$mhma{dhmañ` `wº$Moï>ñ` H$_©gw&`wº$ñdßZmd~moYñ` `moJmo ^d{V Xþ…Ihm&& (^.JrVm-6.17)
This means, Yoga which destroys all sufferings is achievable to only
those Sadhakas who observe appropriate Ahar, Vihar, Vishranti, follow
right dealings in their work and the one whose sleep and awake timings
are balanced.
The happiness of mind is of utmost importance whether the Yoga is
followed with very hard practice for attainment of ‘Kaivalyavastha’ (to
achieve the blissful Samadhi for spiritual experience of the divine state
of getting merged into the cosmic existence) or practised for obtaining
overall health with the experience of physical, mental, social and
spiritual well-being. Mind becomes pleasant with the practice of Yoga
and the Yoga practised with pleased mind derives best results. Pleased
mind easily and quickly gets concentrated and can easily be brought
under the control of the Sadhaka. Only then the purpose of Yoga
Sadhana is fulfilled to a great extent. Many suggestions are offered in
Yogic Science to maintain and enhance the happiness of the mind. The
important guidance is given by Maharshi Patanjali for the Sadhakas in
the shloka below :
_¡ÌrH$éUm_w{XVmonojmUm§ gwIXþ…InwÊ`mnwÊ`{df`mUm§^mdZmV{üÎmàgmXZ_²&& (nm.`mo.gy. 1.33)
This means if we cultivate ‘friendliness’, ‘compassion’, ‘joyfulness’ and
‘equanimity’ towards the emotions ‘pleasure’, ‘pain’, ‘virtue’ and ‘vice’
and implement in the Yoga practice, then the mind will always be in a
pleasant state. It is felt that complex problems, disputes and quarrels
among various nations can be settled without shedding a drop of blood
only if maximum people in the world cultivate these four emotions
namely, ‘friendliness’, ‘compassion’, ‘gladness’ and ‘equanimity’ by
practising Yoga and thereby establishing friendly dialogue with a strong
desire of peaceful coexistence and solid foundation of trust between
the nations and certainly not by insane usage of deadly arsenal that is
amassed on a huge scale.
11 Yoga Varta : June 2017
`moJdmVm©
The Ashtanga Yoga advocated by Maharshi Patanjali has eight limbs
namely, Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyan
and Samadhi out of which the first two limbs Yama and Niyama are of
slightly more importance. Amongst them, the five 'Yamas' advocated by
Maharshi Patanjali that is Ahimsa – non violence, Satya – truth, Asteya –
non stealing, Brahmacharya – non continence and Aparigraha – non
hoarding of more than necessary wealth or goods and amassing
materialistic objects greedily - are the kind of five self-restraints to be
observed while living in the society. The observance of these five Yamas
are essential for the Yogasadhaka for the peaceful social life as well as
the progress in Yoga. If people across the globe follow these five Yamas,
though not strictly 100% as ‘Mahavrata’ but to the best possible extent
as ‘Anuvrata’, then too all the people in the world can have a pleasant
experience of living on this planet with mutual cooperation, peace and
happiness. Like these five Yamas, there are five 'Niyamas' namely,
‘Shaucha’ – Purity (physical, mental and emotional), ‘Santosh’ –
permanent contentment of mind, ‘Tapa’ – solid and concentrated efforts
for prolonged period, ‘Swadhyay’ – (self awareness, introspection and
reading spiritual literature, contemplation, meditation), ‘Ishwar
Pranidhan’ – (to bow down to the all powerful, mighty creator of the
Universe after performing our duties). These five Niyamas are to be
observed devotedly by the Yoga Sadhaka for his personal health,
progress and elevation of all virtues. If the Yoga Sadhakas honestly
observe these Yama and Niyama to the maximum extent feasible, their
progress in Yogabhyas will be expediated and as the number of such
progressive Sadhakas increase all across the world, then surely the
human race can have the experience of heaven on this Earth itself.
The ‘Omkar Sadhana’ is of immense importance in Yoga. This shortest
single syllable, Mantra made up of three alphabets ‘A’, ‘U’ , ‘M’ and half
nasal consonant is extremely subtle and most effective Mantra. In the
ancient scripture namely ‘Patanjal Yoga Darshan' by Maharshi Patanjali,
‘Aum’ is described as the symbol of the almighty ‘Parmeshwar’ who is
attributeless, formless, unseen and without any beginning or end. It
Yoga Varta : June 2017 12
`moJdmVm©
means, this divine ‘Omkar Sadhana' lifts any Sadhaka who has adopted
‘Omkar Sadhana’ from heart to highly spiritual level irrespective of his
caste, religion or country. Hence, Maharshi Patanjali says "V‚mnñVXW©^mdZ_²&' means Omkar japasadhana shall be chanted with the full
awareness of meaning of Omkar. He further says that, with such a Japa
Sadhana, Yoga Sadhaka will gain subtle but very important spiritual
benefits alongside the many physical benefits. Omkar Sadhana has
incredible power of delivering sound health. Sadhaka can achieve
progress and the capability of facing any crisis by treading his way through
it with the help of Omkar Japasadhana.
So, with the auspicious occasion of this ‘International Day of Yoga’
on 21st June 2017, let's once again determine to practise Yoga
systematically, devotedly and consistently as best as possible by
incorporating ‘Omkar Sadhana’ and let’s all pray God by making slight
change in the ‘Pasaydaan’ prayer of the great Sage Shri Sant
Gyaneshwara as follows for spreading happiness and peace in the entire
world with help of this invaluable gift of Yoga Shastra presented by India
to the world -
AmVm {dœmË_H|$ Xod|& `oU| `moJ`k| Vmofmd|&Vmofmo{Z gd©OZm Úmd|Ÿ& `moJngm`XmZ h|&&
If majority of people in the world today come forward willingly,
loyally and confidently to accomplish this sacred mission, then this
'Third International Day of Yoga' on 21st June 2017 will prove to bring
forth for everyone in the world a future offering complete health,
happiness, contentment and peace. If it happens so, then all the peace-
loving people in the world will utter the famous quote of Shri Sane
Guruji with slight change as - Iam Vmo EH${M Y_©& OJmcm `moJ Anm©dm&...

LITTLE HELP IN NEED IS THE GREAT HELP INDEED!
Helping others in need is the noble attribute of a
gentleman. Cultured, polite and modest persons would
never refuse to help anyone caught in a difficult
situation. Courteous persons, irrespective of their
position in the society go out of the way to extend help
to the genuine needy and helpless people. It is,
therefore, rightly said that a friend in need is the friend indeed! A
thorough gentleman would never wait for being asked to help. Such
persons spontaneously and instantly do whatever needed to assist
anyone requiring help, without making any show of the help extended.
As against this, there are many persons who very reluctantly and
occasionally help others. Most of them make a big show of whatever
little help they might have extended on few occasions.
This is the story of those days when America had just got
independance. George Washington had became the first President of
America. People of America were very much pleased and satisfied. The
atmosphere in the entire nation was quite inspiring and enthusiastic.
The officers, workers and everyone were doing their duty honestly and
sincerely. On a rainy day, one officer was going to his office alongwith
his orderly for attending to some urgent work. The road was muddy and
rough. After halfway through, the car suddenly stopped as its one wheel
got stuck in a muddy pothole. The orderly came out of the car and tried
many times to get the wheel out of the pothole, but in vain. He was
completely tired and exhausted. The officer sitting in the car then came
Yoga Varta : June 2017 14
`moJdmVm©
out of the car and started smoking and reading the newspaper. The
orderly again tried very hard to pull the car out of the pothole but could
not get the success. Soon one big car stopped nearby and came out of
it one well-built person. He started helping the orderly and within a few
minutes, they could get the wheel out of the muddy pothole. After
cleaning his hands and face, that person assured his help in any difficulty
and gave his visiting card to the officer before boarding his own car.
The big car had now gone far away. The officer then started reading
the card and was shocked to see the capital letters in golden ink
alongwith the official seal embossed on the said card - "GEORGE
WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT OF AMERICA.''

SHORT NAPS GIVE HAPPINESS...
Scientists have discovered a link between taking short naps and
happiness. While sleep in general boasts a wide range of health
benefits from increasing productivity to protection against hearts
disease, now it turns out that brief napping has some pluses all of its
own. And, they've even given the satisfied state that follows its own
name - nappiness.
Professor Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire,
said, ''Previous research has shown that naps of under 30 munutes
make you more focused, productive and creative, and these new
findings suggest the tantalising possibility that you can also become
happier by just taking a short nap. Similarly, longer napping is
associated with several healthrisks."

CHILD LIKE LAUGHTER FOR MEDITATION
Seriousness is never religious, cannot be religious; seriousness is of
the ego, part of the very disease. Laughter is egolessness. Even laughter
is not just laughter where its purity is lost. You cannot even laugh in a
pure way, in a simple way, childlike. And if you cannot laugh in a pure
way, you are losing something tremendously valuable. You are losing your
virginity, yout purity, your innocence. Watch a child; watch his laughter -
so profound, comes from the very centre. When a child is born, the first
social activity that the child brings it with himself is smiling. One should
go on laughing the whole of one's life. If you can laugh in all sorts of
situations, you will become so capable of encounterning them - and that
encounter will bring maturity to you. I am not saying don't weep. In fact,
if you cannot laugh, you cannot weep truely. They both go togehter as
they are part of one phenomenon, of being true and anthentic.
Laughter brings some energy from your inner source to your surface.
Energy starts flowing; it follows laughter like a shadow. When you
genuinely laugh, for those few moments you are in a deep, meditative
state where thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together.
They are diametrically opposite : either you can laugh or you can think.
If you really laugh, thinking stops. If you are still thinking, laughter will be
just so-so, lagging behind. When you truly laugh, suddenly the mind
disappears. And the whole Zen methodology is how to get into no-mind
state and laughter is one of the beautiful doors to get to it!

� Educational Excursion-cum-Seminar-cum-Picnic of Regular
Yoga Centres (R. Sunder, Yoga Teacher, Damle Yoga Kendra,
Matunga. Mob. : 9820577810)
It gives me immense pleasure to do this write-up on the captioned
trip organized by Mrs. Meena Pai (YCRC) in co-ordination with
Mr. Mukund Bedekar (Trustee, Yoga Vidya Niketan), and Mr. Durgadas
Savant (Vice Chairman, Yoga Vidya Niketan) on 18th & 19th March 2017.
It was an Educational Excursion-cum-Seminar-cum-Picnic to Lonavala
worth remembering for years to come.
All of us teachers assembled near the Damle Yoga Kendra, Matunga
on the morning of Saturday, the 18th March 2017 around the appointed
time and boarded the luxury bus waiting for us. We set off on our
journey a little after 6-30 a.m. Mr. Durgadas Savant joined us at Nerul.
On the way, Mr. Bedekar took the mike and narrated to us with his
characteristic humour the situation that prevailed during the fledgling
Yoga Varta : June 2017 28
`moJdmVm©
days of Yoga Vidya Niketan. We took a brief halt at Khalapur for re-
fuelling and for stretching our legs a bit. Mr. Savant came on the mike
and explained to us about the forthcoming Maharashtra Yoga Utsav to
be held between 24th March and 26th March 2017. He said it is going
to be a mega event for yoga and requested our participation and
attendance at that event in large numbers.
We headed straight for the Narayani Dham temple whose precincts
are a thing of beauty to behold. It consists of three aesthetically designed
buildings surrounding lawns, play area, fountain, etc. The temple proper,
a structure made with marble interiors houses Lord Ganesha, Narayani
Devi and Lord Hanuman. The breakfast organized for us by teachers Mrs.
Lajwanti Gatkule and Mrs. Rajani Mhatre at the temple premises was
simply out of this world – poha, idli and mini uthappas washed down with
coffee/tea – all designed to pamper the palate.
After the darshan and breakfast, we went to Kaivalya Dham at
Lonavla which is at a stone’s throw from Narayani Dham. We were given
a warm welcome by Ms. Swati Bedekar who works for Kaivalya Dham.
One Mr. Bandu Kute, a seasoned officer of Kaivalya Dham, gave us a
brief lecture on the origin of the institution, its diverse activities till date
and the role played by Swami Kuvalayananda in fostering it. We were
taken around and shown all instruments and gadgets used by the
institution in the past. These were for psychometry tests and for
measuring various physical actions. We were taken to a room where
there were pits in which seasoned yogis used to sit without oxygen
intake for as many as 16 hours. We were also shown the gaushala and
the samadhi of Swami Kuvalayananda. We thanked the staff member
who showed us around the institution and left the place.
We reached the Durga Parameshwari temple at Karla around 12-30
p.m. and were shown to our respective rooms, each of which
comfortably accommodated five or six of us. After a quick wash and
brush up, we assembled at the dining hall for lunch. That simple saatvik
meal was most welcome after the heavy breakfast in the morning. Post
29 Yoga Varta : June 2017
`moJdmVm©
lunch, we got together to pursue another exciting event, viz. the
seminar. Mrs. Meena Pai had already communicated to us five qualities
envisaged by WHO for a wholesome life. Those qualities are : mobility,
meditation, learning, connectivity and generosity. We all teachers
divided ourselves into five groups and vigorously put forth our points of
view on the quality chosen by each one of us. It was a very enjoyable
and enlightening exercise.
After the evening tea, we went to the foothills of the Ekveera Devi
temple by the bus which was always at our disposal. Since the bus could
not ascend the steep winding road leading to the last point from where
you had to physically climb, most of the teachers opted to hire
autorickshaws to that point. However, a few of us adventurous ones
headed by Mr. Savant, undertook the uphill task of climbing 400 steps from
ground level, and made it to the top. After the darshan, we descended on
terra firma and returned to Durga Parameshwari – ravenously hungry.
Needless to say, we did full justice to the delicious dinner spread before us.
The tomato rice and rasam still linger on the mind.
After dinner, we got together in the hall and held a singing session,
catering to a receptive audience. Jokes followed songs, leaving everyone
in splits before retiring for the night. Since we were all bone-tired, we
straightaway hit the sack around 10-30 p.m.
Heeding the wake up call at 5 a.m., we had a quick wash and went
downstairs for the morning coffee/tea. Then we went to the hall where
Mrs. Pai began her session consisting of warming up asana-like exercises
and numerous other asanas related to the respective chakras in the
body. She first gave us a detailed explanation of the six chakras, the
bearing which each one of them has with various parts of the body and
their related functions. Since she had to cover a lot of ground, the
session was divided into two parts, first part : 1) Muladhar Chakra,
2) Swadhistan Chakra and second part : 3) Manipur Chakra, 4) Anahat
Chakra, 5) Vishuddhi Chakra, 6) Adnya Chakra and 7) Sahasrar Chakra.
The second part to be held after two other events.

Next in the order, Mr. Mukund Bedekar was in his element when he
conducted the auto massage session. He first gave a brief introduction
of what auto massage is all about and then got all of us to massage
ourselves with Til oil and Bhimseni Camphor mixture supplied by him.
Though you should get used to the oily sensation on the skin, the
experience is most invigorating and soothes body and mind. Lest the
massaging techniques he taught are forgotten, he distributed a C.D.
containing his demonstrations of Shirshasana, Pranayama and auto
massage, all rolled into one. He priced each C.D. at Rs.100/- to cover
production costs. After the massage, we made a beeline for the canteen
where we had a simple yet substantial breakfast of idlis.
The next interesting event was an erudite lecture by Prof. Rekha
Diwekar, a guest speaker on health and wellness. She is an M.Sc. in
organic chemistry and a retired professor of Sathye College. She had
camped at the temple premises since the previous night. In the course
of her lecture, she dispelled various myths regarding the undesirability
of certain so-called enemy foods like rice, ghee, jaggery, etc. and opined
that there is no need to avoid them. She discussed the various
constituents of foods, viz. proteins, fats, carbs, vitamins and minerals
and pointed out foods which contain them. She also listed out the dos
and don’ts relating to a large number of food items. She said that bakery
products like biscuits and bread are a strict no-no since they contain
trans fats. All in all, the lecture was most informative. Not only that, she
remained with us till the end of our trip, wholeheartedly participated in
all the events and answered everyone’s queries.
Mrs. Pai conducted the latter half of asanas connected with the
shatchakras in the adjoining room. The participants performed each and
every asana with unabated zeal despite all odds.
Lunch was an elaborate fare. Apart from the usual items, we were
also served jalebis and stick kulfi. It was something that tickled the palate.
After a little catnap, we assembled at the hall for Mr. Durgadas Savant’s
lecture on Naturopathy Method to treat Acute Diseases like headache,
31 Yoga Varta : June 2017
`moJdmVm©
colds, fever, diarrhoea, etc. He began the lecture in his commanding
voice, advising mostly fasting, rest and some simple remedies for tackling
these diseases, and advocating avoidance of analgesics and symptom
suppressants. He stressed the fact that by staying clear of antibiotics and
other pharma drugs, one can improve one’s resistance to diseases. There
was a lot of substance in all that he said. Mrs. Veena Bhave, a teacher
from Parle Yoga Centre, devised, planned and conducted three games
with the help of one of her friends. Though hamstrung in her efforts by
want of time, she succeeded in her mission. After tea, we departed from
the temple premises at 6 p.m. and began our homeward journey. We
rounded off the revelry with antaksharis and qawwalis on our way back,
reaching the vicinity of Damle Yoga Kendra a little after 8 p.m.
Thanks to the excellent planning and execution by Mrs. Meena Pai,
the trip was a thumping success. She kept the lines of communication
open with teachers, using Whatsapp to maximum advantage, thereby
apprising everyone of all developments from time to time. She also
delegated various tasks to process owners viz. Lajwanti Gatkule, Gautam
Choksey, Mrs. Hema Phadnis, Minal Shah, Aarati Patil and Veena Bhave
along with senior teachers, all of whom pitched in wholeheartedly to
ensure the success of the trip. The highlights of the trip were: luxurious
to-and-fro bus travel, appropriate accommodation, good food and the
seamless progression of events as planned.

Participants’ Feedback aboutthis year’s Summer Yoga Course
The summer course by YVN conducted in May 2017 was one of my
best experiences in Yoga! The teachers were informative and guided us
very well in our journey of learning. Each day was different and we got
to learn a lot in a month, which many of us did not expect to. It taught
us more about our bodies, made us realise what we need to work on
and what we are capable of. I never thought I would be able to do some
of the asanas, as I did not push myself. Today I'm proud of myself that
I can do so many of the unusual asanas. This course has made me set
health goals which I plan to achieve slowly and steadily!

This year’s Yoga Summer Course was very well planned, with proper
execution by our three excellent Yoga teachers who had lots of patience
in teaching. Really liked the way of teaching, very systematic.
Thank you, Yoga Vidya Niketan.

School ke baad agar kuch achha GYAAN mila to yahaan, aur school
ke baad agar koi achhe GURU mile to yahaan.
I think this summer course was an extraordinary experience with
these extraordinary teachers. Thank you all the teachers for changing
my life by teaching me such a wonderful YOGABHYAS.

While the asanas were being practiced, trainers used to guide us
regarding the finer points of doing the asanas, etc. Each trainer brought
in their own knowledge and experience to the training programme,
which meant wealth of knowledge was given to the students. Overall, a
great learning experience for the mind, body & soul.

This is my 2nd Summer Yoga Course from Yoga Vidya Niketan. Last
year I did Yoga Summer Course in May 2016. That time my life was on
danger, I was diagnosed with Terminal Neurologia where i used to faint
at any time any place without any prior signs. I had swelling on my face,
mainly left side and it hurt me too much. I was in ICU and prescribed
operation which may have lead me to paralysis. My doctor told me not
to do any alteration in breathing and my body was not prepared for
normal movements. Last year, I came to know about YVN’s Summer
Yoga Course and my husband and family joined the class with me. They
were always surrounding me and taking utmost care that I do not exert
myself at all. For first 15 days, I was not able to carry on normal life
without support but after joining the course, within 15days I was able
to walk and come to class on my own. Breathing techniques which I
learned there I carried out only those at home for 1 year as per my
capacity thinking that my life is already very unsure at this point so if I
try these breathing techniques nothing worst can happen; so whatever
may happen will be better only if at all... Today I drive activa scooter and

leading a normal life. I did not need any operation and I am off
medication from last few months as well! Thanks to YVN. This year, I did
all the asanas as well and felt very happy and healthy too!

I was the most reluctant of joining yoga class due to my bad health
and jabardasti of life partner. Now, I would like to thank teachers of YVN
for their yogdaan. I think this is one of the best daan as it helps us to
increase our life. Yoga is not only for internal cleansing of body but also
our thoughts, lifestyle and of course, it helps to the society as a whole.
I want to persistently praise for one thing - their timely start of
prartthana and the great desire to teach. It proved life mantra for us
which will definitely increase our life span without desease and with
lively thoughts of all good things.

I recently had problem of frozen shoulder. I had been advised for
physiotherapy, as there are no such medicines on it. I heard about YVN's
summer yoga camp and hence decided to join on trial basis. Now, after
30 days of course, I found great relief in my frozen shoulder trouble.
There is more than 50 % improvement in it. Even I am able to raise my
hand above my shoulder level which was not possible earlier. Feeling
really good. Thanks to YVN and their teachers!

I have attended some of the workshops of yoga, but this kind of
course is not comparable to any of the course I have attended so far.
The impressive demonstration of every yoga practice and brief
explanation of benefits associated was indeed remarkable. This Summer
Yoga Course has helped me to develop more interest in Yoga, and I am
going to make it as an important part of my life!
