Nature and concern for whole Universe.
Based on eternal Vedic wisdom of
-
Beauty of Unity
in Diversity (Visualize Garden with variety of flowers)
-
Vasudeva Kutumbakam & Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavanthu (whole World is one family and let all people be happy)
-
Poornamadah Poornamidam Poornaatpoornamudachyat
Poornasya Poornamaadasya Poornamevavashishyate
- Ishopanishad
(Whole Universe (living and non-living) has got an integral existence. It is interrelated, interdependent and cohesive in nature).
We are not isolated beings. We are part of Universe and thus inter connected.
Man is unique individual made up of complex emotions, appetites and desires.
YOGA way of Living
(Yogism)
harmonizes the body, mind and spirit and connects to the
One
ness of
the Universe.
YOGism for Healthy & Happy Living and Aging, is the need of the hour and a challenging topic of discussion for humanity, irrespective of race, religion and philosophies of the World. Further, it has to withstand the pressure of commerce driven consumerism and economic exploitation by aggressive and intelligent multinationals. Where communism failed, capitalism is failing,
YOGism is bound to succeed in creating peaceful world. YOGism fits
New Age Movement (NAM) as well and arrests loosing battle with Nature. NAM says that God / Almighty is all, then Nature is part of God.
Thus man must get in tune with nature and learn to nurture it and be nurtured by it.
In the Symposium, an attempt was made to present YOGism as an Art of Living in Harmony with Nature and concern to the whole Humanity irrespective of one’s religious belief. Yoga as a Science of Holistic Living
was emphasized and effort was made to disseminate the scientific and technical advances in the field of Yoga and Life style Medicine at experiential level practiced by yoga experts teaching Yoga practices including Pranayama, Meditation, Love and Service.
The issues and lacunae were discussed for bringing Naturopathy (Drugless system)/ Lifestyle Medicine and Yoga in main stream of Primary Health care delivery System/ Integrated System of Medicine.
The
deliberations in the Symposium and CME were designed to benefit
health care practitioners, researchers, students and in
particular modern youth to understand the importance of YOGism
for happy and successful living and prevention of life style
diseases.
