श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता

द्रव्ययज्ञास्तपोयज्ञा योगयज्ञास्तथापरे ।
स्वाध्यायज्ञानयज्ञाश्च यतयः संशितव्रताः ॥४.२८॥

कठोर व्रत अंगीकार करके कुछ लोग अपनी सम्पत्ति का त्याग करके, कुछ कठिन तपस्या द्वारा, कुछ अष्टांग योगपद्धति के अभ्यास द्वारा अथवा दिव्यज्ञान में उन्नति करने के लिए वेदों के अध्ययन द्वारा प्रबुद्ध बनते हैं।

Some offer their wealth as sacrifice, while others offer severe austerities as sacrifice. Some practice the eight-fold path of yogic practices, and yet others study the scriptures and cultivate knowledge as sacrifice, while observing strict vows. (4.28)


My International Yoga Day special memory:

Far away from "ONE DAY" Yoga showbiz/trend/rush/formality/compulsion.

After Darshanam at Gangotri on the way to Suryakunda randomly got to see this Hatha Yogi (Swami Siddheshwargiri) in his this small hut cooking lunch for him. He was having so powerful and divine energy that attracted me and I ended up asking his permission with Namaskara to enter his hut and he with a big smile welcomed us.

I introduced myself as a Yoga teacher, he took a keen interest in talking and explained so precisely principles of Ashtanga Yoga and its practice and emphasized so much on practicing यम (Yama) & नियम (Niyama) and insisted me to focus more on teaching these two components of Ashtanga Yoga.
While leaving he blessed me with deeper studying and practice Yoga.

He was so contented soul and very deeply educated and practiced Yogi living in a small hut at the bank of Maa Ganga with very minimal necessity, cooking his own food everyday even though it's not a big deal to get ready-made food served at his hut.

This made my International Yoga Day highly special in the lap of Maa Ganga.😇

योगजीवनं श्रेयस्वीजीवनम्।

Life is better with Yoga.

नास्त्युद्यमसमो बन्धुः।

There is no keen parallel to zeal.

परिश्रम जैसा दूसरा कोई अन्य मित्र नहीं है।

जो व्यक्ति धर्म का नाश करता है, धर्म उसका नाश कर देता है, और जो धर्म की रक्षा करता है, उसकी धर्म भी रक्षा करता है। अतः कदापि धर्म को नहीं त्यागना चाहिए। नाश होने वाला धर्म हमारा विनाश न करे।

Dharma destroys him who destroys Dharma. Dharma does protect him who protects it. Dharma therefore should not be abandoned. That Dharma, which is going to perish shall not destroy us.

शान्तरूपी सरस्वती धनरूपी लक्ष्मीः रौद्ररूपी दुर्गा कालरूपी महाकाली।
नमामि तां आद्याशक्तिं।

शान्तरूप में सरस्वती है, माँ धनरूप में लक्ष्मी, रौद्ररूप में दुर्गा है, माँ कालरूप महाकाली।
मैं वह आद्याशक्ति को नमन करता हूँ।

Saraswati in the form of peace, Lakshmi in the form of wealth, Durga is in the form of ferocity, you are Mahakali in the form of destruction.
I bow to that divine power.

सर्वोन्नत्याम् अस्मदुन्नतिः।
We rise by lifting others.

सर्वं सम्भाव्यते त्वयि।
You can do anything.
तुम में सब सम्भव है।

मातृभाषा दिवस

मातृभाषा मात्र एक भाषा नहीं है। यह सपनों, रोने, हँसी, पीड़ा और सहानुभूति का घर है, सुबह के भक्ति गीतों और लोरी का जन्मस्थान है। इसे नज़रअंदाज करना अपराध है। - श्री लाल बहादुर शास्त्री

Mother Tongue Day

Mother tongue is not just a language. It is the abode of dreams, cries, laughter, pain and empathy, the birthplace of morning devotional songs and lullabies. It is a crime to ignore it. - Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri

Yogic consultation helps individuals to understand the root cause of their problems and holistic approach of Yoga for the solution.

भूमि जलाग्नि वायूनामणवः मिलिता यदि।
साधयन्ति स्वकं कार्यं न भिन्नाः कार्यसाधकाः॥

भूमि, जल, अग्नि, वायु के अणु जो साथ मिले तो अपना कार्य साध सकते हैं, पर भिन्न हो तो, कार्यसाधक नहि बनते।

Molecules of land, water, fire, air, if they come together, they can do their work, but if they are different, they do not become efficient.

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work (Karma Yoga), or worship (Bhakti Yoga), or psychic control (Raja Yoga), or philosophy (Jnana Yoga) – by one or more or all of these-and be free.
