A Journey- From Student To Teacher

One day while watching the gorgeous sunset from my balcony in UAE (where I have moved to recently), my twenty years of association with The Yoga Institute just rolled like a movie reel in front of my eyes.

I landed at The Yoga Institute in 1995 because I had cervical spondylosis and my orthopaedic doctor had advised me to meet Smt. Hansaji and seek her help. I remember the day I met Hansaji. It was such a delightful moment for me. Hansaji was clad in a beautiful yellow sari, wearing her usual welcoming smile. I found her to be soft spoken, graceful and respectful, a perfect role model one would look for in life. Her words touched me so deeply and her caring presence affected me so intensely that I was prepared to discipline myself. Soon I joined the Institute and from there began my journey of self development.

क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
