Mahacharya shri sourabh J sarkar was on Behtar Yatra with his KarmYogi team. This time he was guiding school students towards a Behtar Life. During his tour, he learnt about the famous Tryambakeshwar temple in the vicinity which he wanted to explore. His camera lead Sanchita was ecstatic about the ‘darshan’. So reaching the temple, he casually threw question at Sanchita- What is Darshan? How do you see what you see?

The Sun has risen…the flag hoisted….the National Anthem still rippling through the thin February air… the ‘dwar’ of the KarmYog Village now ready to embrace the day... “Where is Sandeep” – Mahacharyaji enquired.

Our session today began with these mind baffling questions tossed at us by Mahacharyaji. ‘I am’ ness he explained derives from our whole being…precisely the four aspects of our being- TANN PRAAN MANN CHIT.

"ADARSH!! ADARSH! Mahacharya ji is calling you!!" – Nudged Neeta Ma’am at Gaurav.
Gaurav flashed a confused smile till Neeta Ma’am realised her faux pas- while her intention was to call Adarsh, she ended up summoning someone else.
When we shared this funny ‘nothing’ with Mahacharya ji today….he awakened us to the profound mechanics behind it. He said that this incident in fact was a microcosmic demonstration of our common misplaced emotions…

Someone once said, "On one hand there’s Swarth Seva, while on the other, there’s Niswarth Seva." Given a deeper thought, that which involves self interest, is that really seva? Today’s session started with the question: What does Seva mean? The 8 steps of Ashtanga Yoga are Yam, Niyam, Aasan, Pranayam, Pratyahar, Dharna, Dhyan, Samadhi. Mahacharya ji says that the 9th step is Seva.

"What was your mother’s favorite technique to calm down your baby tantrums- The one that always worked?"- Today’s session began with this curious question.

How does breathing contribute to the enrichment of civilisation …How is breathing a seva? While we all racked our grey matter with great sincerity and pondered upon the enigma hurled at us by Mahacharya ji. It was Neeta Ma’am today who hammered the nail- "With Language" she said. With that began a yogic exploration of language- 'bhasha'

There are three essential things that an artist craves for- Stage, Audience, and Fame. Mahacharya ji asks, “In the need for an audience, a stage and fame aren’t we restricting our guna or skill?” We acquire guna because we are able or merely for the happiness it gives us. But once the guna is acquired, why are we confined by the chains of a STAGE, an AUDIENCE or FAME?

As old as our traditions go, so rich is our culture. Quite similar a story is that of two of the greatest pillars of our civilization- the Art of Yoga and Medical Science.
Hindu medicine is as ancient as Hindu Civilization. Atreya Samhita is the oldest medical book in the world and Ayurveda by definition implies ‘The Science of Life’. This rich history played a pivotal role in giving the science of medicine the shape it has acquired in modern times.

CONVENIENCE at a CHEAPER price….....MORE WORK in LESS TIME....These are some of the wishes in our day-to-day walks of life. Be it the CEO of a prestigious company, the regular street vendor or the house maker, getting most out of the available resources is what we live and also strive for, but mostly struggle to achieve. This is what we explored with Mahacharya ji in one of his morning sessions.
