Dedications

India was, is and will be the spiritual destination of the world. Many don't know the meaning of spirituality an connect it to religion and man made rituals. Very simple meaning is humanity.

For attaining spirituality you don't even need a Guru or even education. It is simple ingrained awareness not to harm any living thing or being. Being compassionate and a heart that loves, cares and reaches out.

Yoga which is actually pronounced as yog is not exercising just the physical body, but also the mental and spiritual state. As Yog travelled beyond India with the first ambassadors being Buddhist monks it went to China and became the birth place of Shaolin Temple. A temple that was built by Boddhidharma an Indian who went to China. A monk who added an art form to Yog practices and is known today as Kung Fu.

All major martial arts form in the world have a direct link to an Indian Martial Arts,. Kallaripaittu which again is a form of yog at its core practice. From yog also was the genesis of medical practise of Ayurveda. Even Jesus during his visit to India learnt the ancient art of Yog, which helped him to meditate for 40 days and 40 nights before his crucification. Meditation a part of yog is what leads to enlightenment which is called Siddhi in sanskrit. An enlightened form of consciousness that gives powers to heal. Something that Buddha did after attaining salvation and consciousness.This was 600 years before Christ. Both these spiritually aware souls did the same healing of the sick and preaching love

Yog also means destiny. I pride my destiny to be born in the land of Yog and spiritual salvation. A salvation not something you attain after death. Something you attain when alive.

May you enjoy the happiness, peace and bliss of this day that pays respects to Yog

Have a blessed and happy Yog day in awareness of the beautiful spiritual art form
