                      Support IDRF

You must be aware that a virulent hate campaign has been
launched by a lunatic fringe of Marxists based in USA. It is
in the form of a wrongly named campaign called "The Campaign
to Stop Funding Hate" and is aimed at a volunteer-based
charity India Development & Relief Fund (IDRF). This campaign
seeks to intimidate the well-meaning Indians, inspired by
Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi, who want to serve the
poor and underprivileged of India. The campaign aims to stop
fundraising of IDRF in USA and the biggest casualty of this
senseless campaign would be those who need our support the
most - the downtrodden of India.

We would like you to visit the petition's website at
http://www.letindiadevelop.org
and sign the petition. Let your voice be heard. If we fail to
act at this critical juncture, the people who perpetuate
their hatred for anything Indian, will succeed in their
sinister plans.

Yoga Therapy can complement popular medicine. Yoga views
human as an intricate body-mind complex and anything that
affects body has an effect on the mind and vice versa.

Asanas (postures), Pranayama (Breath Control) and Mind
Relaxation (meditation) to work on all fronts. Yoga therapy
helps to balance, harmonize & tackle the disturbances in
the body and revitalize the whole personality.

What can you expect from these workshops? Practices for -

    1. Alleviating acute & chronic back pain.

Yoga Therapy can complement popular medicine. Yoga views
human as an intricate body-mind complex and anything that
affects body has an effect on the mind and vice versa.
With this holistic approach, therapeutic Yoga employs
Asanas (postures), Pranayama (Breath Control) and Mind
Relaxation (meditation) to work on all fronts. Yoga therapy
helps to balance, harmonize & tackle the disturbances in
the body and revitalize the whole personality.

What can you expect from these workshops?
    1. Alleviating acute & chronic back pain.
    2. Strengthen & increase flexibility of the spine.

Science of Yoga

Yoga is practiced as three different forms:

1. Yoga as an art

This involves utilizing the vast repertoire of the yogic
practices developed over the years by great Rishis of yore.

As a student you go to a teacher and become a disciple and
learn the art of Yoga

With a lot of dedication and considerable practice, you
master the art of Yoga and obtain perfection in the various
  practices of Yoga

2. Yoga as a Science

Yoga as a science is practiced by some.

This involves questioning repeatedly about the various
facets of Self and life.

Realizing the teachings of Upanishads - like Pancha Kosha
Viveka (5 layered existence)

Experiment on ourselves by following various yogic practices
to see that we are really present as 5 layers.

Experiments at the Annamaya Kosha by measuring various
parameters
like Basic Metabolism Rate(BMR), the Hormonal levels,
different
levels of sleep. And the effects of Yogic practices on
humans.

Similar experiments at Pranamaya kosha, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya
and Anandamaya kosha.

Basic research at VYOMA (Vivekananda Yoga Mahavidyalaya)
recognized by the Govt India as a Deemed University(the first
of its kind in the World).

2. Yoga as a Technology

Applying the existing Yogic practices for Stress management,
Therapy / Management of various Psycho-somatic ailments -
like Insomnia, Allergy, Asthma, Obesity, Diabetes, High BP,
Hypertension, Head aches, Migraine etc.

The applications of current research at VYOMA (Vivekananda
Yoga Mahavidyalaya) to prepare Yoga cures / therapies for
the above ailments.

Using Yoga as a part of the Holistic system of life.

Brief summary of the Lecture by Sri Raghuram at Ponderosa
Park on Wednesday, July 10th.

Duration: 2 hrs

Note: Please note that the following is just an attempt to
capture the essence of the lectures. This is no replacement
for the liveliness of the lectures and personal interactions
/ consultations with Sri Raghuram.

Sanatana Dharma Series - Lecture 1

What is Dharma? How is it related to Rules, Morals, Ethics,
Law etc.?

1. Why do we need to know Dharma

Parashurama had to cut his mother's head to follow his father
Jamadagni's orders. Was he right ? What happened to "Mathru
Devo Bhava" ?

Why should we really fast on Ekadashi (11th day of the
fortnight) ?

In our day to day life we get into various circumstances
where the right way has to be identified.

There is a mother who has diabetes and she asks her son to
get some sweet.  This lands the son in a dilemma - should
he heed the doctor's words and be cruel to his mother - his
own mother who has done so much to him? Or should he comply
with his mother's request and let her meet her fate?

Very common problem for activists - family or the duty to
humanity? Which comes first?

So many incidents in the Puranas which sound so
contradictory,
perpetrated by the most holy people. What is the explanation
behind that?

2. Sources of Dharma

The Puranas are they representative of dharma in action?
What are the smritis?

The common trend is not to understand the underlying dharmic
principles and waive off the incidents or negate them or
offer a shallow explanation.

Is there more to it than what is apparent on the surface?
Couldn't Valmiki / Vyasa who wrote such masterpieces, write
books where the Hero goody goody, leads a dharmic life,
without
any complications or contradictions? Like the stories of
Buddha - so simple. He didn't do anything controversial.
And who is very easy to follow.

Is there something more to Dharma?

3. Evolution of Dharma

Jungle Law: There was a time when the stronger people could
do whatever they wanted. No explanation or rules. Strength
makes rules / breaks them.

Tribal Law: The barter system where if you do something good,
I will do something good. If you are bad, I am bad.

Societal Law: Where some rules are codified into law and
these are followed by the members of the society. There is
a law enforcement agency and a big system surrounding it
to interpret / implement the law. But, the Law here depends
on the state of the society. If the society has plenty /
surplus of everything, law is followed. The moment scarcity
hits, the society degenerates to Tribal Law / Jungle Law.

Dharma is well above all these and is the causative of all
the above tendencies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Uday

Brief summary of the Lecture by Sri Raghuram at Sunnyvale
Temple on Thursday, July 11th from 7.00AM - 8.15AM

Duration: 1 hr
Note: Please note that the following is just an attempt
to capture the essence of the lectures. This is no
replacement for the liveliness of the lectures and personal
interactions / consultations with Sri Raghuram.

This series continues till next Wednesday. Anyone can
join the sessions.

Summary

Yoga practices for 1 hr.

Understanding Yogic Practices Series - Lecture 1  (15 mins)

How is Yoga different from other physical exercises ?

According to Yoga philosophy, we are different from other
physical structures like chair / table becuase we have an
ability to issue a "stretch" command  from inside and this
is translated into neuronal message and sent across to
all the muscles. This creates a movement and causes the
stretch.

This stretch can be observed by our innate awareness.

Yoga treasures this awareness and uses it to achieve deeper
levels of relaxation.

In physical exercises, this awareness is not heeded to /
ignored.
In exercises, each part is exercised for its own sake -
involvement
of mind is not necessary. We can we watching a news channel,
etc
and still be walking or jogging.

If we develop this awareness, we can feel the whole body
pulsating
and we can observe all the changes happening inside the body.
The effects of the mind on the body can be perceived and can
be
utilized to relax the mind as well as the body.

Currently being conducted at Sunnyvale Temple

Understanding of dharma - the universal, ever eternal Truth.
How to follow Dharma in Day to day life ? Why do we need
Dharma ? How to explain the characters like Droupathi,
Bhishma or Krishna who apparently contradict the accepted
notions of Dharma. Is dharma getting lost?  Can we reset
the values of dharma? What way globally we can set Dharma
concepts beyond religious folds?

Laced with wit, humor, and the occasional laughter. His
sermon remains the simple message, "Be Happy!". This message
is presented in his inimitable style, which is a mix of the
seemingly bizarre with the most profound, where simple
language conveys the most complex thoughts.

Once, when asked, 'Is humour your main sadhana?' Swamiji
replied, 'Wit is an expression of wisdom and it manifests
spontaneously whenever mind is totally free of all hang-
ups about the past, the present and the future'. This
indeed appears as the consistent under-tone from an otherwise
very versatile writer, thinker, and philosopher.

Swamiji calls past as "dead rat". Qualified as one of India's
first Ph.D. in Genetics, Swamiji must have joined the
Chinmaya
Mission before 1987, and was initiated into Sanyas Diksha
on 29th August, 1994.

The publication of 'One Minute Wizard' and 'Contradictions'
in 1996 brought out the best of all what Swamiji stands for
and is famous for. These books initialy appear small and
easy to read, but when one is enticed to start these,
hidden meanings and a maze of bewildering thoughts are
aroused in the reader, who, by that time hooked on, spends
many a fascinating hour on each seemingly simple parable
and expression.

His Holiness Swami Bodhananda Saraswati was born in Kerala.
He felt a spiritual calling at an early age. In 1978, after
several years of intensive study, he embarked on his mission
of teaching.

Swamiji is very well known for his lucid oratory skills,
very easily understandable and makes the lectures fun-filled.
A Self realized person and a person with full of love says
in one of his books that meditation makes one extremely
efficient and energetic.

In 1984, he was initiated into sanyas ashram and in 1988 he
was offered the honor of setting up a teacher training
facility, Sandeepani, in Kerala. Many of his students from
that era have become well-respected and accomplished swamis.
Swami Bodhananda is the Spiritual Founder and Director of
11 organizations and ashrams under the umbrella of the
Sambodh Foundation.

More details are at http://www.sambodh.com (US) and
http://www.sambodh.org (India)

Among several books swamiji has written -

    * Meditation: The Awakening of Inner Powers
    * The Gita & Management
    * Self Unfoldment in An Interactive World
    * Rishi Vision
