#YOGADAY2022  #YOGAFORHUMANITY

The term YOG means UNION, derived from the Sanskrit word YUJ meaning -'to join'. It is about the union or syncing of mind and body.The path of uniting the JEEVATMA with PARAMATMA-the ultimate destination or goal is to achieve  Salvation.

In all practicality, while you live in this world-going about your daily chores, carrying out your business of living-The adoption of YOGA as a form of self care & fitness is a baby step .But, it is an effective, long-term means to a good life. The theme of YOGA day this year is YOGA FOR HUMANITY. We all went through 2 years of suffering in the pandemic, and it is the compassion, sharing, extending help, the undefeated spirit of Humanity that survived. Just as the 'global' adversity united the humans; YOGA can be the path to a universally acceptable solution to steer through the urban, advanced yet not-so-healthy lifestyle of today.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in his Yoga message for 2022, said that this year's theme reminds everyone “how yoga is truly universal.” On how yoga has helped people during the COVID-19 pandemic, he added, “For hundreds of millions of people worldwide, yoga has also been an essential lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing an important means of coping with the challenges of social isolation and stress."

The message surely is about collaboration and integration of all sciences and systems of knowledge to nurture and support the precious human life with the appropriate guidance for good health & living. Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Aromatherapy and many other systems for healing &curing. So, celebrating Yoga Day is not just about celebrating the Ancient knowledge. It is about researching, rephrasing ,tweaking to contemporary forms ;so also collaborating these different paths and practices to achieve maximum benefits. The longevity of life is worthwhile & meaningful if only it blossoms and is not just 'exists'. It is all about absorbing the essence , not compromising on fundamentals yet molding & upgrading it with new knowledge.

That is when a doctor ,a healer and health care practitioner fulfills his duty of being a true YOGI. That is when 21st June every year will be a true celebration of YOGA!!

She was one of the cases in my PG ,way back in 2003. I still have the hand written case sheet filled in as per the protocols of the hospital ,I translated the headings to Hindi from Marathi.I have it pinned to the diary which I keep for precious and important learnings from my profession. So 18 odd years ago, a pretty petite and always smiling 27 year old MANGAL was assigned to me for 14 days treatment and I had to present her case thereafter. Mangal was always dressed in the traditional Maharashtrian Saree, Gajra and Bindi.She came always on her bicycle, a lunch box hanging on it.No family member ever came along.At 10 am every day she would be there with her forearms loosely wrapped in cotton cloth for that was the affected area.She would sit through patiently with a faint smile ,talk just a bit, and then leave  with the cloth wrapped again ; for the printing press she worked at.She healed very well and very much  in those 14 days time frame.I never saw her again.But I often ...
