The Trend of Today: Meditation!

Many people regard meditation as concentration. This article is to clear your doubts about what meditation really is and why should we do it. One of the ancient scripture “Patanjali Yog Sutras” written around 2000 years ago, by sage Patanjali also called as the father of modern Yoga, describes Med...

According to the Hindu Calendar, the day of Guru Purnima falls on the day of full moon in the month of “Ashadh” i.e. June to August. This day is celebrated in India to pay obeisance to the Guru(Master, teacher). It is believed that the day has been celebrated in India from ancient times to pay respect to Sage Ved Vyas who penned down the four Vedas and many other Indian sacred scriptures which laid down the foundation of the Indian Philosophy.

The word Guru is a sanskrit word. “Gu” means darkness and “Ru” means removing the darkness. Thus Guru is the light which removes darkness from your life. So, a Guru could be anyone who has guided you and illuminated your life with knowledge and wisdom. A Guru not necessarily be outside. Guru is within each of us. The Self. The consciousness is the first Guru.

Having a Guru means much more than having anything in India. “Guru Bina Gati Nahi”, there is no progress in life without a Guru. Thus having a Guru is considered so important in India.

Sage Patanjali in the “Yoga Sutra” has beautifully described “Who is God?” and describes that “This God is the Guru of all and is even the Guru of all the Guru’s”

He describes God as that special person who is free from all the colourings (kleshas: five Kleshas are: ignorance, ego, likes, dislikes, and desire to cling to life or fear of death), actions (karmas), fruit of actions(Vipaka), and memory or attachment(ashayaih).

This day of Guru Purnima is of utmost significance to a seeker. It is the day of gratefulness towards the source of knowledge and wisdom.

As His Holiness Sri Sri says “Guru Purnima is the day of reflection. It is the New Year for a spiritual seeker; for one who is on the path. It is a day to review on one's credits and debits and look at the balance sheet. It is a day to be grateful for all that we have achieved in the past year, and a day to resolve to do what we are here to do in the coming year. That is the essence of Guru Purnima.”

Wishing you all a very happy Guru Purnima and we hope you begin the day of reflection and gratitude right from today and seek the Guru within.

YOGIC INDIA offers obeisance, love and gratitude to the all the Indian YOGI GURU'S, who have have dedicated their life imparting wisdom and the guiding light.

Yoga sold without its soul..

While yoga needs to be promoted as a life-transforming phenomenon, it wouldn't do much good if it loses the balance of purity and ingenuity.

YOGIC INDIA inspiring the WORLD.

Here is a story of a girl who was inspired by the Yogic India that made her realise the true meaning and change her perception of Yoga!

"I was introduced to yoga at the age of seven by my mom. She was a yoga teacher and I think she mostly took me to her classes because she couldn’t arrange a babysitter. Or maybe she wanted to guarantee that I would like yoga and introduced me at the age when everyone worships his or her mom. During that time I had a hard time sleeping at night. However, I could sleep after doing yoga. No more pondering in bed, but deep sleeps. Later I also noticed the benefits of doing yoga on a regular basis. There’s more comfort and ease in doing the asanas, which calms your mind even more. Now I know that is how asanas are described in the yoga sutra of Patanjali (2.46: sthira-sukham asanam).

Fast forward to the age of 26. I knew yoga was bigger that just asanas and pranayama, but to be honest I had no clue what else it entailed. These previous months I travelled in India. I was honoured to learn from great teachers who helped deepen my practice and enabled me to learn about the ‘complete yoga’: the eight limbs. While staying in an ashram the teacher asked what yoga meant to me. That question puzzled me. Yoga was something I just did; I started at an age where it even hadn’t been a conscious decision. It felt good, that’s all. I’m very easy that way. After giving it some thought, I answered yoga was peace of body and mind. Again, what I felt during practicing irregularly was basically the definition of yoga: unity of body, mind and soul. This I would say is why yoga is so powerful for me. The yoga philosophy is not something far-fetched, theoretically forced; it comes naturally by practice. Now I have established a regular, daily practice with asanas, pranayama and meditation. During the rest of the day I am calmer and more aware of my own thinking and interactions with others. But still, the biggest reason of keeping up my practice: it feels good."

So, whats the plan for the summers, we wondered. Something productive! Something meaningful, something more satisfying and definitely Fun!

How about yoga workshops in NGO’s!

A thought was the beginning, planning, approaching and conducting it for real was the real fun.

Every step is filled with surprise, full of learning. Its definitely a ground work. During the approach process we realised, after all its not so difficult to do good work and people are supportive. When we conducted the workshop, we realised how much children actually valued what we taught and were so sincere. When they emulated the yoga postures so beautifully, we couldn't help blushing. They even asked us when are we coming back! They promised to do Yoga everyday.

We realised the value of imparting knowledge. It will only multiply as it has been. We are grateful to be able to contribute. It has sown the seed of contribution rather than demanding more and more from the world. We hope to inspire more and more people to do Yoga, to share the bliss we derive from it each day! :)
