Dear Students,
Undoubtedly education is the most powerful weapon one can use to change the world.
Undeniably, / it is just one book, one pen, one child and one teacher, who sustain the power 1/4
to / change the world. In similar synergy, we should remember that it is the teacher who plays 1/2
an inevitable / role in this entire process of transformation. A good teacher can inspire hope, 3/4
ignite the imagination, and // instill love of learning. 1

Let it be any era, ancient, medieval, modern or contemporary, the / role and pedestal of 141
teachers, their support in wading us through multiple responsibilities, so one and so forth /, have 11
2
always brought us to a nostalgic feeling to express our respect to our teachers, especially
on the / occasion of Teachers Day, celebrated throughout the country on September 5th every 143
year.
Living in a system where // people are judged by their excellence in competition. One is 2
bound to achieve pinnacle of excellence and efficacy only under / contemporaries and constant 241
guidance. Considering the significance of the same, in institute as your Alma-Master is /
putting every effort forward in ensuring inspiration, encouragement and motivation towards 221
preparing each one of its students as one / of the finest professionals serving with excellence 243
and sailing competition with success.
Friends, when perfection is a constant companion for // transformation and it is teachers 3
who guide us in staying attuned with the transformations in the society, I feel my / self 341
indebted to the Institute as well as to all the Teachers associated with the Institute, not just
for / today but for every other day. 321

Once again I would like to extend my best wishes to all Gurus /, Guides, Coaches & 343
Mentors on Teachers’ Day.

YOGA FOR FAR-BETTER LIVING

The praise of India without yoga is like Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ without Prince of / 1/4

Denmark. Indian Philosophy ‘Satyam Shivam Sundram’ and Western Philosophy “Truth

is Beauty and Beauty is truth” / can be well-known through yoga. The external activities 1/2

of a man can bring name and fame but / internal sight where peace, beauty, emotions, 3/4

humanity and feeling lie can be raised only by Yoga. // Yoga makes people look inward. 1

The only way to experience true well-being is to turn inward. / This is way what yoga 141

means-not up, not down, not out but in yoga as any / form of union through knowledge, 121

love, action etc. Since these are also means of liberation and thus instruments / of 143

realization. Yoga’s past is old but history is young. The Yogasanas that originated from

ancient India, // Travelled the world and became synergetic in nature in the 20th century. 2

The 20 century Hinduism and mystical Indian / began to attract the western word as one 241

seer put it, “Like honey bees to blooming flower.” / The journey of Swami Vivekanand 221

and other spiritual gurus crossed the Western countries having a message what Hindustan

is in / itself ? The impact of the message showed its grandeur and raised a ray of hope 243

amidst uncertainty, unlikeness //, human follies and falling of social values. Money 3
1
Western thinkers & artists came to mystic India. Most / of them namely Alain Denielou, 34

the Beatles, Steve Jobs, Yehudi Menuhin had a deep bath in the / tub of yoga. No doubt, 321

3
Indians have also recognized the true value of yoga since then. Before / this we thought 3334
4

that yoga was meant only for monks and spiritual persons. Parents are afraid if a child // 4

practices yoga and goes in Dhyan then it will be no use for him of this material world.

What / is yoga ? The answer is very simple and clear as crystal. Yoga means to add 441

some thing. Yoga / means union. It unites people. It is both a Philosophy and Science. It 421

is for people of / any faith or even no faith. Yoga’s chants and mantras are related to 443

Science of sound. Some researchers // in different kinds of Universities have proved that 5

Chants and Mantras have power to make one balanced, active and / social. Seeing this 541

virtu and ability and our request and strong demand the United Nations had to declare the

/ 21 June every year to be celebrated to International Yoga Day. In 2015 on 21 June 521

when eighty four / countries of the world came to practicise yoga altogether was the day 543

for our pride and glory. The whole // world witnessed that yoga is not for an age, a land 6

or a person but it is for all / ages, all lands and all persons. 641

7

Yoga is possibly India’s greatest export and gift to the world. / It / belongs to the 61
4

realm of knowledge that is eternal. Indian should take pride in yoga that is accepted / and 63
4

acknowledged universally. Now, right from today be ready to make friendship with yoga

for far better living. // 7
