Some Core Concepts of Gitananda Yoga
In modern times when the grandest art and science of Yoga has been reduced to a skeletal manifestation of mere physical postures with a little breath manipulation and some so called meditation, Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri’s contribution to the development of Yoga in the past century and his codification of these ancient teachings in a modern scientific manner is unparalleled. Pujya Swamiji’s teachings like him are huge and are seemly never ending in their depth and multidimensional manifestation.
This short article presents some core concepts that are unique to this living tradition, now known worldwide as the Gitananda Yoga or Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition.
Dr Ananda's review of "MUDRA, THE SACRED SECRET", a new book by Indu Arora.
Dr Ananda's review of "MUDRA, THE SACRED SECRET", a new book by Indu Arora. In this masterpiece, Indu Arora has explored the length and breadth of Hasta Mudras as perceived through different cultural and spiritual traditions including Yoga, Tantra, Sanathana Dharma, Buddhism and Indian Classical Dance. She traces the origin and history of Mudra with adequate textual references and appropriate quotations that explore the spirituality, psychology, philosophy and science of Mudra.

‘Yuj’ is a Sanskrit word which means ‘to bind, to join, to attach, to yoke; to direct and concentrate one’s attention on, to use and apply. It also means union or communion.’
In the yogic lore, Shiva is seen as the first yogi, and the first Guru. It is a root word of ‘Yoga’ and a discipline that aims to unite the mind, body and spirit. It has a lot of physical, spiritual and psychological benefits.
Seals and fossil remains of Indus Saraswati valley civilization with Yogic motives and figures performing Yoga Sadhana suggest the presence of Yoga in ancient India. Though Yoga was being practiced in the pre-Vedic period, the great Sage Maharshi Patanjali systematized and codified the then existing practices of Yoga, its meaning and its related knowledge through his Yoga Sutras: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi. The Classical period can be mainly dedicated to two great religious teachers of India – Mahavir and Buddha. The concept of Five great vows – Pancha mahavrata- by Mahavir and Ashta Magga or eightfold path by Buddha - can be well considered as early nature of Yoga sadhana. According to modern scientists, everything in the universe is just a manifestation of the same quantum firmament.
Yoga works on the level of one’s body, mind, emotion and energy. This has given rise to four broad classifications of Yoga: karma yoga, where we utilize the body; bhakti yoga, where we utilize the emotions; gyana yoga, where we utilize the mind and intelect; and kriya yoga, where we utilize the energy.
Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life. The people with possibly stabled mind will enhance their mental and physical power to work in their profession more effectively.
Raj Yoga-
God is the subtle point of light refered as ‘Supreme Soul’
Every action performed by a soul will create a return accordingly, hence maintaining their ‘karmic account’ …Meditation purifies thinking patterns and eventually actions!!
Study of ‘murli’ is the medium to connect GOD.
Vipassana-
To see things as they really are… process of self-purification by self-observation.
A universal remedy for universal ills, an Art of Living!!!
Monism that god was in everything and everyone… ...to overcome repression, lower there personal inhibitions, develop a state of emptiness and attain enlightenment!!
Wear traditional orange dress including a beaded necklace.
Sudarshan Kriya-
Science and spirituality are linked.
NGO that focuses on the upliftment of human values such as love, compassion, enthusiasm and inner growth. A range of mental and physical benefits are reported in the medical studies

Saraswati Pearls: Dialogues on the Yoga of Sound
Saraswati Pearls: Dialogues on the Yoga of Sound
By: Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani and Yogacharini Dr. Sangeeta Laura Biagi
This book is a compilation of deep, introspective, inspirational dialogues between Dr. Ananda and Dr. Sangeeta on the “Yoga of Sound”. These trans-cultural interchanges deal with the spiritual and hidden, mystical aspects of music and Yoga such as Nada Yoga: Healing Sounds, The Origin of the Chant, Listening as a Tool for Purification, Guru-Chela, and The Artist as a Humane Being. The title, Saraswati’s Pearls is based on the concept of a sutra, a series of aphorisms set together as pearls on a string. The image of the pearls resonates with the pearl necklace in the hand of the divine muse of music and the fine arts. Each of the dialogues can be appreciated like a pearl, perfect and yet imperfect, whole in itself and yet connected to the others, containing some of the infinite satvic wisdom of the great Goddess Saraswathi. It is a joy, an honor and a humbling privilege to share their shimmering light with you, our dear reader.

Yoga Evolutiion Meaning Definition Objectives Misconceptions - Anand SahasrabuddheRESTORING HUMAN VALUES IN MEDICINE: ROLE OF YOGA
Dr Ananda's presentation for the National Conference on “CHANGING TRENDS IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION – 2016”- 20th August at Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry
Introduction: Recent developments showcased through social media highlight a lack of human values in modern medical professionals. Compassion, empathy and a sincere desire to relieve suffering are found lacking and this seemingly becomes even rarer as qualifications increase. Kidney rackets, unnecessary surgeries, laboratory referral commissions and inflated bills are commonly bemoaned and even recently medical students in Chennai were found throwing a poor dog off their rooftop in glee.
This paper presents the view that introduction of Yoga in medical education may help stem the rot and restore values.
Why yoga?
Yoga is an ancient cultural heritage of India spreading rapidly and being practiced by millions across the globe. It offers a broader perspective of life and refines the personality thus enabling the practitioner to attain their inherent potential in a holistic manner. Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life. It stresses the importance of social and personal values through the yama (restraints of subhuman tendencies such as violence, stealing and greed etc) and the niyama (humane observances including cleanliness, contentment, self-introspection and dispassionate discipline). The inculcation of these universal values in medical students at the start of their professional career can help them be more humane in their life and profession.
Suggested mechanisms: Numerous physical and mental techniques of Yoga such as asana, pranayama, dharana and dhyana enable attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness thus enabling them to be skillful and efficient in dealing with omnipresent stressors. A broader worldview enables them to perform their duty in the spirit of nishkama karma (non-attachment to results of actions) thus preventing the unhealthy “Me first”, “Make the most money”, “who cares as long as I am safe” type of attitudes in them. A healthy connection with their inner self creates a cheerful, strong and compassionate being empathetic towards the suffering.
In conclusion: Introduction of Yoga as a holistic way of life with stress on its astha anga (eight components) in the medical curriculum can inculcate a compassionate sense of karuna and seva (selfless service) towards our human brethren. The understanding that illness becomes wellness when we consciously move from the limited sense of “I” to a broader inclusive “WE" will motivate young doctors to be vehicles of change thus restoring once again the much extolled nobility of our medical profession.

Introducing yog to medical students by Prof Madanmohan
Prof Madanmohan, Director Professor of Physiology in JIPMER, Pondicherry, India is a pioneer in integrating yoga and modern medicine. He had given yog training to many batches of medical students, school children, police personnel and hospital patients with the aim of determining the effectiveness of yog as a health-promoting and therapeutic intervention.
The results had been gratifying and many papers published in indexed journals. It was however his heart’s desire to introduce yog to medical students as a branch of physiology and contemporary medicine. The opportunity came with financial support from Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, New Delhi. With the aim of motivating 30 students to join the initial programme, he took introductory lecture for the batch of 2008.
However, after the introductory lecture, many students wanted to join and he enlisted the entire batch (n=100) for the programme.
The objectives of the programme were:
1. To promote awareness among medical students about the effectiveness of yog as an inexpensive means for achieving holistic health.
2. To impart knowledge, skill & attitude about the theoretical & practical aspects of yogic science.
3. To motivate medical students to take up further studies, therapy & research in yog.
4. To introduce yog in medical curriculum as a branch of physiology & contemporary medicine.
