Yog course at the Embassy of India…

Hari AUM!
Dear friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I have an exciting opportunity that I'd like to share with all of you. Our Indian Embassy is hosting the first-ever Yog teachers course, and I believe it's a unique chance for us to come together and support the spread of knowledge about Bharat and Yog.
This course will be conducted by the Yog teacher of the Indian embassy Sri Malay Sinha.

I render my full support to this initiative taken up by the Indian Ambassador Sri Mridul Kumar ji.

As we all know, Yog is an incredibly powerful tool in today's world, and it offers numerous physical and mental benefits. Even if you already have some knowledge of asanas and pranayama, delving into the other six limbs of Ashtanga Yog can be truly enlightening.

I understand that not everyone may be interested in taking the course, but you can still contribute by joining me on the opening day. Your presence alone can show our solidarity and support for this initiative. Let's come together and be a part of something special that promotes health, well-being, and the rich heritage of Bharat.

Please let me know if you're interested, and we can coordinate our participation in this event. I'm looking forward to sharing this experience with all of you.

Warm regards,

Jagdish Bramta
Hari AUM!

LIFE & VEDANTA 2.10. Talk by Jagdish Bramta.
Title: Inquiry into Truth - Summary of L&V 2.10

In this last discussion on Vedanta and Life (L&V 2.10), we conclud the topic of how to inquire into the Truth. It began with the question: "What is the inquiry into the Truth?" The answer lies in recognizing that the Self is real, while everything other than the Self is unreal.

The Truth:
The essence of Truth lies in discriminating between the Real and the unreal. The Real (Sat) remains unchanged across all time periods, unaffected by any conditions or perspectives. It is constant and eternal, similar to the words of a noble person that stand the test of time.

On the contrary, the unreal (mithya) cannot be defined as either real or non-existent. If something exists and is experienced but undergoes constant change, it is considered unreal. The world, although experienced, is negated by time and experience, making it unreal. Furthermore, what we perceive is merely an appearance and not the actual reality.

The Truth-Real is the underlying foundation upon which the Untrue-Unreal appears to exist.

Discriminating between the Self and the not-Self:
Life consists of two aspects: 'I' (the experiencer of the world) and the world (the experienced). While the name, form, quality, and experiences of objects in the world constantly change, the experiencer ('I') remains constant. 'I' is always present, while the world is negated with every thought. Hence, 'I' alone is real, and everything else apart from 'I' is unreal.

However, we mistakenly identify ourselves with the Body-Mind-Intellect (B-M-I), which are constantly changing and deceptive.

Masters adopt the method of negating the superimposition to understand the Self fully. By negating the not-Self entirely, we discover the pure Self, the substratum, the ultimate Truth.

This leads us to the natural question in the mind of a Mumukshu (a qualified seeker of this knowledge): "What is the Self?" The answer is that the Self is beyond the gross, subtle, and causal bodies, transcending the five sheaths. It is the witness of the three states of consciousness and embodies Existence-Consciousness-Bliss.

In today's discussion, Jagdish sir attempted to explain the aforementioned question, as previously elucidated by Gurudev.

Hari AUM!
The 3 bodies explained.

What is Ātmā?

Ātmā, that which is not the gross, subtle, causal body.

They are called as Sharira trya - three bodies.

The Sthula sharira - the gross body

The Sukshsma sharira - the subtle body

The Karana sharira - the causal body

Kindly note that, (You) ‘I’ am not these three bodies…

I am Ātmā - the Real - the Truth!

Few months back I read a quote "It's kind of fun to do the impossible". I was told by many that I cannot run and it's bad for me.

I took this as a challenge and started practicing for this race at Aarey milk colony, Mumbai. Although a distance of 10.55 kms may not seem that big, but on an incline it's really tough. Drenched in rain, with darkness all around, it was tough. But I decided to participate and finished it in 1.30 hrs.

Thanks you all who have helped me in this endeavour. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Friends. I went for a Bollywood movie with my family called 'Neerja'. A thrilling real-life story about how an air hostess saved 360 passengers during a plane hijack.

A dialogue from the movie had a really big impact of me. "Zindagi badi honi chaiye, lambi nahi". (Life should be big, not long)

It remembered me of an aphorism I came accross few years ago "Do not add years to life but life to years".

When we are diagnosed with an illness, the main goal of any treatment is to extend the life expectancy. Along with it, what Jagdish Sir taught me is to not only wish for a longer life but also improve the quality of life by having a right attitude.

No matter what our physical condition is at the moment, we can certainly enjoy our lives by working on our mind and intellect.

Thought for the day: Share what you are going through

By Manish Agarwal (Team member at Holistic Approach)

Ankylosing Spondylitis being a very uncommon disorder is often confused with other types of arthritis or back pain. When I had symptoms during my initial days before diagnosing with AS, I was advised rest by family members. Normal human tendency is to rest when you are in pain.

As we all know, it's exactly the opposite in case of AS. For most of us stiffness and pain are at its peak in the morning and it improves with activity.

This is the main reason we encouraged all our participants in the camp on 21st February to be accompanied by a family member or a friend.

There is nothing to be ashamed of AS. Many people I come across are fearful of talking about it in public.

When people around you understand what you are going through, it makes life a bit easier. Let us all share our feelings with our near ones and educate them about AS, so that they know what we go through everyday.

Thought for the day: Fear of the future
By Manish Agarwal (Team member at Holistic Approach)

For the past few weeks, I have been taking many of my AS affected friends to doctors and the common qeuestion they all have is about the future.

Even I asked this to my doctor when I was first diagnosed. Fear gripped me after reading about it on the internet and all the negative possibilities robbed me of my energies. I was worried about what may happen in future rather than focusing on the present.

A quote from Swami Vivekanand changed my outlook forever. Here is the quote. Hopefully it will help all my friends on this forum.

"Whatever we are today has been the result of our past actions. And whatever we wish to be in future, can be produced by our present actions. So we must know how to act today."

Vedanta says it beautifully "The future is nothing but a continuation of the past, modified in the present through self-effort."

Learn to live in the present. Take one day at a time and enjoy the moment :)

Tip of the day

Steam bath and whirlpool bath, by Manish Agarwal (Team member at Holistic Approach)

Apart from NSAIDs, there are many natural ways of relieving pain and stiffness associated with AS.

One of the methods Jagidsh Sir propagates is the use of Steam bath and whirlpool bath. I have personally experienced the benefits of both.

A hot water whirlpool bath relaxes the muscles and reduces stiffness all over the body. The high pressure water jets provide a gentle deep-tissue massage to affected joints.

Steam bath improves the blood flow and circulation. It also helps in relieving stress. You can do gentle stretches while taking steam.

Steam bath helps in elimination of toxins and is also beneficial for people with sinusitis and cough.

Both these methods have helped me reduce my dependence on pain killers. Do share your experience and let me know what you felt after taking steam and whirlpool bath.

Hari Om!
