Come October…..and The Yoga Institute celebrates dear Hansaji’s birthday, 8th October. Apart from the Editor’s Note (as she is also the Journal’s Editor), the Journal this month has numerous articles written by or about her.

Other articles feature Dr Saheb’s advice to householders about marriage, Devdutt Pattanaik’s views on words and a tribute to Yogacharya Shrikrishna Vyavahare.

The scriptures offer treasures - Hatha Yoga Pradipika on Pranayama, Samkhya on our sub-conscious, Yoga Sutra and the Gita’s guidance on one-pointedness, the Gita on the 36 qualities that one must inculcate, and the Sutras about Seedless Samadhi……….

Isn’t all this looking very much like a treasure trove?
