Hari Om, Namaskar, Hello,
I started and manage two non-for-profit organisations, ShantiDwara Yoga Ecology and Wellness Centre in Australia and Himalaya Shuddha Yoga Centre in Indian Himalayas.
Feel free to join the website and share your Yogic inspiration for the good of all.
I am weaving the tapestry of life lightly dancing around the essential code of conduct of Sage Patanjali aiming at cultivating the positive attitude - Yama, attitude towards others and Niyama, internal discipline. Helps to define boundaries, nourishes the soil of relationships and allows the garden of the soul to be cultivated so that good seeds have a chance to sprout.
In Yoga there are 40 Yamas and fifty Niyamas out of which Sage Patanjali has selected just 5 respectively:
Yamas:
Ahimsa - eradicating violent nature of thought and behavior.
Satya - cultivating truthfulness.
Asteya - overcoming the desire to gain.
Aparigraha - overcoming the desire to accumulate.
Brahmacharya - establishing one's nature in higher identity.
Niyamas:
Shaucha - purity.
Santosha - contentment.
Tapas - effort to transform one's life.
Swadhyaya - self-awareness, self-study.
Ishwara Pranidhana - faith in the higher power.

It is called in India "Ramayana of Tulasidas". Sundarakand is the most important part of that sublime "longest poem ever written", which brings the alchemical effect on all the spiritual work a Yogi has being through in the many lifetimes prior to being initiated into it. Flyer for Tuesday Sundarkand chanting. Feel free to join in Shantidwara or via Zoom.
ૐ With Covid situation affecting lives of all people around the globe, many people have discovered new avenues of deepening their spiritual practice. However, nothing stays unchanged, and as eventually world will reopen their borders, there will be a possibility to go to India again on a pilgrimage and join our amazing Yoga Ecology projects in Himalaya, visiting the most powerful shrines and places of worship, seek blessings of Saints, put hands into transforming lives of communities, learn new Yoga skills, let go of old conditioning, boost spiritual powers and bring the "renewed Self" into our own homeland to improve lifestyle and inspire others.
