Once Buddha was traveling with a few of his followers. While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."
The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?"
So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."
After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.
The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same.
After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.
This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.
Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water.
Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."
Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!

Are you (or is someone who you know) looking for a healthy activity and wanting to have more energy but don’t feel that lifting weights in a gym is for you?
Rediscover the world’s oldest and healthiest form of meditation-in-action which uses only natural movements and is much more than mechanical exercise. A proven way of living better, feeling great, breathing more deeply, thinking more clearly and being happier.
Finding peace in a busy hectic city is becoming increasingly difficult with all the noise, pollution, stress and responsibilities. More and more people are realizing that, in order to find peace and release stress, it is necessary to both have some kind of active healthy life style and also to make an effort to become more in touch with nature and with their real selves.
However, the bounty of nature, the peace of total well being and the energy of the sun, moon, wind and earth, are not things which can be manufactured in a sterile corporate environment or found on a treadmill with techno chaos blasting.
Just as art cannot be mass produced and no one size of shoe fits all, real yoga is a personal practice which, when done correctly and consistently under proper guidance, can help one detoxify and rejuvenate the body on multiple levels.
Yoga also makes one look and feel many years younger, promoting not only longevity and potency but also a better quality of living.
Whether your goal is :-
- to shape and tone your muscles.
- to slim and trim your body.
- to have more energy and confidence which carries over into every activity in both the professional and the private areas of your life.
- to vibrate a quiet power, peace and happiness.
Proper yoga practice can give you the skills, the ability and the positive spiritual force to empower yourself.
Rediscover vibrant energy and total health under the personal tutelage of a real yogi who was groomed in yoga practice in both its exoteric and esoteric forms from early childhood in a family lineage which has been practicing yoga for at least 25 generations in northern India.
Yoga is not merely a tool for weight loss for sedentary individuals.
Yoga can be an integral part of a person's total physical, emotional, mental and spiritual lifestyle.

Back to the beginning.... How it all started?
Perhaps this event already made its announcement unconsciously in my mind a while ago when I came across an incident where a 14 year girl was suffering from leukemia [Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)]. And financially less fortunate, her family needed some help in Mumbai, India through one of the most reputed organization Sir Ratan Tata Charitable Trust. I personally did some donation and so did many others. I realized that to be a hero, one does not need super-powers. All one needs to be the positive change in the world in other's lives as well as our own life, is just a bit of love and compassion. ...
As the great Poet said:
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
William Shakespeare 1600
