A question can be that because we
get up by six in the morning, or eat
food four times a day at home, or
do some walking exercise, do we
become old-fashioned? And yet, if
we avoid these things and follow
the traits of a modern man - eat
anything anytime, get up late, rush,
sleep late etc. is it helping us?When we are learning yoga, we
have to decide what kind of life we
are leading and whether it goes well
with our Yogic study?Let us do a little thinking on our
side and see what kind of people we
are, modern, or ancient?stones of a peaceful life.
Recently, I have found a new love, the
Sanskrit language. I can, at the very
least, make an attempt to comprehend
the meaning and beauty of the words
‘Shabdh Se Sparsh, Sparsh Se Rup, Rup Se
Ras, Ras Se Gandh’ thanks to our lovely
Sanskrit, rather Hatha Yoga teacher.
The Institute had probably decided
that we had had enough of just learning
concepts, let us give the students a
practical test on acceptance, patience,
co-operation and adjustment. What
better than the Sunday Satsangs! Yes,
our favourite Satsang signatures! By
the time the actor in me was polished
and I thought I can now audition for
an upcoming Saas Bahu serial, I had
completed my allotted Satsangs. Alas!
One budding actor was nipped in the
bud! The Satsangs were a delight to
work in, and inspite of the various
challenges, the skit writing, the
dialogues, the props, dressing the part
and the D Day were fun filled.
Just like the thread that binds all the
pearls, Dr. Jayadeva and Smt. Hansaji,
their sheer presence and wisdom binds
the various pearls of this Institute to
make an exquisite, yet simple necklace.
I would like to thank all my teachers
of the teachers training course, for
guiding my fellow colleagues and
me during this journey which has
just begun. And finally, my fellow
colleagues - I have made a deep bond
with my fellow colleagues, attending
the lectures during the last ten months,
participating in the camps, listening
and giving talks, and finally preparing
and sharing the exam results.
