I was around thirty years, living in the Bandra suburb of Bombay and working in a petroleum company; going to a bodybuilding course near my home with a friend, Ravi, younger than me.
One day, I read an advertisement for a 'Yoga Better Living course' at The Yoga Institute nearby, in Santacruz. Both myself and Ravi, not knowing what yoga was, joined a 21-Day Better Living Course. Upon entry, I asked where their gym was, and the Principal, Dr. Jayadeva, showed us an empty hall. I asked where the equipment was, and Doctor said my body was the equipment.
Out went my first wrong notion of yoga; of yoga as gymnastics.
There was wrong information about yoga being like a religion. In our first session with the Masterji, Shri Yogendraji, venerable Founder of The Yoga Institute, I found that yoga was not religion.
“For,” said the Masterji, “religion has a belief system, rituals, dogmas etc., whereas yoga believes in self-experimentation and selfbelief called empiric experience.” This ended my first second wrong notion of yoga; of yoga as religion.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
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 ।
