It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature is a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with your- self, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change.

  • Save India's Lifelines
    Save India’s Lifelines Proposal for Collaboration “ Major Indian rivers have depleted dramatically in a matter of a few decades. So far, the approach has been just to exploit the rivers, not rejuvenate them. Water resources and soil are being destroyed at such a rate that in another fifteen to twenty years’ time, we may not be able to feed the 1.3 billion people and quench their thirst anymore. The simplest and most effective solution is to increase the tree coverage around the water bodies. This means we have to work towards creating awareness and induce policy changes.” – Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation The Mahanadi River in Orissa, India, ebbs to a trickle during the dry season.

  • RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH Status of Our Work
    RASHTRIYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH PRESS NOTE BASED ON REPORT by RSS Sarkaryavah Sri Suresh (Bhaiyya) Joshi during Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha ( ABPS 2018 ) HOMAGE : We feel the pain and vacuum when we experience the absence of close associates, beloved ones, and distinguished personalities from social, political, religious, and cultural fields. In the course of time, many such noble personalities have left us for the final abode. Similarly, many brave- hearts sacrificed their lives in the line of duty for protecting the nation or fighting against the terrorists. It is very painful to accept that many of our brethren fell victim to the violence of political intolerance. Many people have left us due to natural calamities and accidents. The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha pays homage to all such departed souls and prays for their eternal peace besides expressing deep condolences towards their family members. May the God Almighty give ‘Sadgati’ to the departed souls. Status of our work Sangh Shiksha Varg and Prathmik Shiksha Varg held in 2017-18 Total Sangh Shiksha Varg (SSV): Report on Shakhas: Shakhas in Telangana: Over 1000 shakhas have increased in Telangana over the last 8 years. Currently, 2412 shakhas are running in 1608 places. In 2017, there were 2302 shakhas in 1495 places. Tour of P. P. Sarsanghchalak ji In the year 2017-18, during the tours of P. P. Sarsanghachalak Ji, besides organizational meetings with Karyakartas, interactions with prominent people from various walks of life and special programmes were organized. P.P. Sarsanghachalak ji met President of Ramakrishna Math, Swami Smarananand Ji, Syedana Saheb, a revered figure of Bohra community from Mumbai, Isha Foundation’s Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev Ji, Poojya Bhole ji Maharaj and Poojya Mangala Mata ji of Hans Foundation and Mahamahim Rashtrapati Shri Ramnath Kovind Ji etc.

    CHAPTER 3 THE BIG BANG – OR ROAR? Where Physics Meets Metaphysics “The more you unravel the scientific process, the more mysterious this world becomes.” “If you look inward, a different dimension opens up. Now instead of things getting more complex, you get to clarity.” Sadhguru: The biggest problem is the moment you say “spirituality,” somebody starts talking about God, someone else about mukti, someone else about nirvana and someone else about the Ultimate. They are all already up there. You cannot do anything with people who are already up there. If somebody is down here, you can do something with them. You can only take a step if your feet are on the ground, isn’t it? The moment you talk about God, you are not here anymore; you know it all. You can only start a journey from where you are. You cannot start a journey from where you are not. If you are willing to come down to where you are, then we can see what the next step is. If you are already on the third step to heaven, what can I do with you? In pursuit of knowing that which is not known, science has gone in one direction. As it progresses, its intention is to convert everything into knowledge. Everything that is not known, we want to cull it down into that which is known. So in the last 100 or 150 years, a phenomenal effort has been made by the scientific community. We have invented various 96 Of Mystics and Mistakes instruments that are like third eyes, enabling us to see things that we could not see.

You should see how men in rural India squat. One thing is, if you are sitting out in nature, there are ants, bugs, ticks, snakes, and other crawling creatures. Any bite will get more serious when it goes beyond the limbs. Another thing is, he just sits and wonders about everything. I would like you to try this. Just sit outside at sunset and wonder. Forget about all these things they told you, that the Earth rotates and that is why the Sun disappears below the horizon, what the distance between the Earth and the Sun is and all that.

The Universe an expression of geometry perfect. All that is misaligned will perish without reaching fullness. It is in alignment with all that is, that this Being can Blossom to the fullest. Blossoming of an individual too happens quietly, gently unannounced without din or drama like all things of Significance. Grace & Blessings EDITORIAL Dear Readers, The second International Day of Yoga (21 June) is fast approaching. In the article “What Does It Mean to Be a Yogi?”, Sadhguru gets to the core of the matter. “Do What You Care For” includes Sadhguru’s advice to a seeker who wants to dedicate himself to the spiritual path but at the same time is afraid of falling off at some point. On a related note, i.e. intensifying one’s spiritual quest, Sadhguru speaks about self-protection and a Guru’s role in the short article “Tearing Down the Walls.” In this month’s In Conversation article, “Of the Ultimate and Immediate,” moderator Chandrika Tandon throws quick questions at Sadhguru and Deepak Chopra that span from how they would use 10 billion dollars, to their definition of success, to the ongoing migrant crisis. A period of profound sadhana and exuberant celebration lies behind us. It began with the silent intensity of Samyama, as described by Sadhguru in an excerpt of his Spot “Of Pain and Ecstasy,” amplified with the subtle expressions of Indian classical music and dance during “Yaksha 2016,” and ultimately climaxed in the power, depth, and fire of “Mahashivaratri 2016.” We bring you memorable moments of these events in pictures.
