yoga, the ancient discipline is about shedding pounds, increasing
stamina, reducing stress, finding inner peace or some combination of
benefits.

For
Hindus, it is an integral part of their religion, a path toward mastery
over the mind and body and bringing them closer to the divine.
Some
leading American Hindus don't mind the profusion of yoga classes in
strip malls and on fitness-club mats, but they're asking that yoga
instructors do more to explain the Hindu roots of the practice.
The
Maryland-based Hindu American Society has launched a Take Back Yoga
campaign to increase knowledge about yoga's importance to Hinduism.

Traditional grandeur: Foreigners enjoying Pongal
celebrations at Keezhakuilkudi near Madurai.
MADURAI: The quintessential Tamil harvest festival of ‘Pongal’ brings
smiles not only to the agrarian community as it is the first harvest
for the year but also for those dependent on tourism in Madurai.
The
Ma Ganga Inner Tantric Yoga Retreat is a special yearly event
hosted by the American Institute of Vedic Studies at a beautiful
setting on the Ganga River above the holy city of Rishikesh, India
in the Himalayan foothills. The Retreat provides a unique transformative
experience for sadhaks and yoga students to create a conscious
shift in tapping their divinity within whilst healing, rejuvenating
and celebrating life. 2010 is the auspicious time of the Kumbh
Mela in Haridwar with important dates for bathing in Ma Ganga’s
sacred waters!
Pt
Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley) & Yogini Shambhavi guide
the participants in a yogic celebration of Shiva&Shakti as
living realities woven into the entire fabric of life. The teachings
are rendered in the traditional gurukul manner, outdoors sitting
under Lychee trees laden with flowers with the roaring Ganga as
background music. The program includes beautiful evening Arati,
Vedic Pujas (sacred offerings), Havan (fire rituals) and Planetary
Propitiations every day of the program perfor
” It is important
that all of you here with me tonight band together and do what you can
to make a difference. It is important that you immediately refrain from
following the patterns taught to you or your parents by the British
Christians. One such pattern is that if one person in the community
comes up, cut him down, malign him, criticize him until all heads are
leveled. In the modern, industrial society everyone tries to lift
everyone else up. People are proud of an individual in the community who
comes up, and they help the next one behind him to succeed as well.
They are proud of their religious leaders, too. Not so here, because if anyone does want to help out
spiritually they have to be quiet and conceal themselves, lest they be
maligned. Nobody is standing up to defend the religion; nobody is
allowing anybody else to stand up, either. This has to change, and
change fast it will.
