1) On the Lives of the Mother and #SriAurobindo
"But when the hour of the Divine draws near
The Mighty Mother shall take birth in Time
And God be born into the human clay
In forms made ready by your human lives.
Then shall the Truth supreme be given to men.."

I extend my greetings to all on this 8th #InternationalYogaDay. Today, Yoga is being practiced in all parts of the world. Yoga brings peace for us. The peace from Yoga is not only for individuals, it brings peace to our nations and the world: PM Modi
This whole universe starts from our own body and soul. The universe starts from us. And, Yoga makes us conscious of everything within us and builds a sense of awareness: PM Narendra Modi on #InternationalYogaDay
🪡@narendramodi will take part in the International Yoga Day show in #Mysore on June 21.
In a nation that buys ‘The Daily Spectacle’, this is just another dot in @PMOIndia’s diary.
But what goes into an event like this—for hashtags to trend for a few hours on Tuesday? #YogaDay

2️⃣ Modi doing #Yoga in #Mysuru is a big deal.
All three great gurus of the 20th century—T.Krishnamacharya, B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois—grew under the patronage of the Maharajas of Mysore.
UN designated June 21 as #InternationalDayofYoga only after Modi became PM in 2014.

3️⃣ Still, a one-hour show led by the PM at Mysore Palace takes some doing.
Coverage in Mysore’s local dailies #StarOfMysore and #Andolana gives a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes.
It is a sobering lesson of how a partipatory democracy can be a made-for-TV spectacle.

Many have asked me how I overcame Covid so fast; the answer is "I used Yoga"
Here it is: the moment symptoms started treatment was on, although I had high fever for 3 days it did not bother me much as I knew my body was working against the Chinese virus

Here it is: the moment symptoms started treatment was on, although I had high fever for 3 days it did not bother me much as I knew my body was working against the Chinese virus
My intention was not to allow the virus to colonise my lungs 🫁. So I started "Basti Kriya" or "Bastrika" pranayama as soon as throat irritation started.
This Pranayama brings air out of lungs at high speed & is known to clean the lungs. I used to perform it atleast 20 times/day

On 4th day by the time my medications ended my fever was non existent & my HRCT showed 2 score. I just got myself discharged & went to a secluded place to recover completely.
Although tiredness was persistent for about 2 weeks after that I have recovered completely now.

Let us go through the सप्त-चतुष्टय (Seven Quartets) sadhana of #SriAurobindo, a spiritual program that was revealed to Him & the practice of which was meticulously recorded by Him in Pondicherry.
The Quartets form the basis of the Yoga of self-perfection.

Yoga enthusiast Carol Dominguez: I was diagnosed in 1996 with cervical cancer... My father told me I'm the only one who could heal myself so I decided to focus on macrobiotic (diet), prayer meditation, and Iyengar yoga
Yoga enthusiast Carol Dominguez on Iyengar yoga: It's highly structured. You need to be very disciplined. Staying longer in a position gives you strength, fixes your posture.
