YOGA OUTREACH 2023
I try my best to live yoga from moment to moment and spread this idea. This year I am trying to reach 100 ladies in teaching yoga to celebrate Sri Swami Satyananda’s Centenary celebrations. I am visiting old age homes to reach out to the beautiful old ladies there and I am happy to see the smiles on their faces as they do the yoga practices. I am reaching out to cancer patients and survivors and I sit with them, listen and hold their hands to give them moral support. In our colony, I make the effort to empower the local ladies through yoga.
Satsangs, audio and video lectures go a long way in keeping the connection with the ashram and guru parampara. The ashram chants make us believe that we are there. Thank you so much for the Satyam Yoga Prasad.
Women, by and large, have more viveka or discrimination than men. They can discriminate between right and wrong, true and false, between dharma and adharma. That is their nature. It is due to their influence that dharma is still in existence. You do not have to teach a woman anything. She will always be able to adjust to reality in more efficient ways because of her powers of discrimination. Woman is one of the finest creatures of the creator and there is no reason why she should be barred from spiritual life. Women are very psychic by nature and we should allow them to raise their consciousness and develop this part of their personality.
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
