Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, is not merely music therapy or chanting. It is the direct experience of sound as the bridge between the finite and the infinite. In a world that often feels discordant, Nada Yoga invites us to rediscover that symphony

“The essence of Yoga is about You.”

You working with You for the sake of You is what Yoga is.

The actual practice of Yoga needs nothing.

Happy Hanuman Jayanti!!

We would like to share this line from Hanuman Chalisa which comes like a spiritual wisdom in MEGA DOSE😊

Hindi Translation!

जो व्यक्ति सत्य की आवृत्ति होने तक इसका पाठ करता है अर्थात सत्य की प्राप्ति होने तक इसका पाठ करता है, वह भवबन्धन से पार होकर महासुख को प्राप्त करता है। यहाँ सुख नही बल्कि महासुख मिल रहा है।☺️

अब देखो, कितना अच्छा अर्थ है। सत्य की आवृत्ति तक पाठ करना है। आवृत्ति का अर्थ अंग्रेजी में फ्रीक्वेंसी भी है। सत्य की फ्रीक्वेंसी के साथ जब तक नही मिलते तब तक पाठ करते रहो। जैसे सत्य के साथ आवृत्ति हुई तो बस, कष्ट मिट गया, दुख घट गया, तुम जीत गए और सागर को पार कर लिया।✨

Reciting this hymn till one reaches the true reality allows one to transcend the limitations of life and achieve immense satisfaction. Here, pleasure is defined more broadly and is not just confined to materialistic happiness.☺️

There is such a lovely understanding in this hymn from the Hanuman Chalisa. This hymn must be recited repeatedly until your vibrations align with those of actual reality. And as soon as your frequency aligns with reality, grief and suffering vanish, and you overcome mental obstacles.✨

Yoga Therapy for Breathing Disorders by Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani

Namaste
We are pleased to share your e-copy of the November 2022 issue of Yoga Life.

Our dearest and most inspiring Pujya Ammaji continues to bless us all with her benevolence and love. Every activity of ICYER at Ananda Ashram is guided by her vision and brought to life through Dr Ananda with the able assistance of our Worldwide Gitananda Yoga Family. Her childlike glee and Divine love is well captured on this month’s cover.

Vijayadasami offered us a golden opportunity to restart the children’s Yoga, Sangeetam and Natyam classes at Yoganjali Natyalayam and more than a hundred students joined in the celebrations. Dr Ananda and Smt Devasena did the Puja and with other faculty members guided students in their lessons for the day. YOGNAT had minimised its operations during the Pandemic and it is hoped that this Vijayadasami will provide necessary impetus to regain its Sukha Sthanam.

We also share some images from the birthday celebration of our dearest Shakti Maa Yogacharini Devasena Bhavanani who is caring for all students with her motherly love. She is inspiring so many worldwide and we offer our felicitations to her with loving gratitude and adoration.

The back inner cover highlights recent events of the Government of Puducherry where Dr Ananda was featured including the Pondicherry Tourism Summit, the State Level Cultural Competitions and Bharathiar Palkalai Koodam.

The back cover is an open invitation to the International Health Research Convention being organised by SBV at Pondicherry. ISCM is hosting an International Conference on Role of Yoga & Music Therapies in Promoting Salutogenesis in collaboration with Indian Yoga Association (Pondy chapter), ICYER at Ananda Ashram, Kaivalyadhama, Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram and Svaram Auroville. We request all our readers to register and attend this great event.

May we always be worthy of the grace of the Guru Parampara and may their benevolent blessings sustain our Yoga Sadhana each and every day of our life.
