International Yoga Day’15 has made its place into the
Guinness Book of World Records with 35,000 people taking part in a mass yoga
program led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event has been the largest
yoga class that ever happened at a single venue. With such enthusiasm toward
the event enthralling the country, naturopath Urvashi Gandhi visited the
International Center of the Art of Living (AOL) in Bangalore.
Urvashi
Gandhi met Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the president of the Art of Living,
commonly referred to as Guru ji. Urvashi’s association with naturopathy and her
career into it was really appreciated by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and he referred
her to Panchakarma, the Ayurveda Center in the International Center of AOL,
where an entire section is dedicated to naturopathic treatments.
After her meeting with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Urvashi said, “I felt very peaceful and
overwhelmed as I could feel the positivity surround me. On being introduced to
Guru ji as a doctor of naturopathy, he seemed very happy and blessed me”.
Panchakarma is one of the largest ayurvedic hospitals of
Asia. The yogic practices followed in the campus are devised by Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar, the primary being Sudarshan Kriya. Sudarshan Kriya and other
accompanying practices are time-honoring stress management techniques and their
benefits are being established by various medical institutes like AIIMS (New
Delhi) and Harvard (USA). Urvashi visited the hospital and is planning to
volunteer there as a doctor soon.
On this Yoga Day,
Urvashi also elaborated on Sudarshan Kriya and its various benefits through her
blogs. She has been visiting various NGOs and teaching Sudarshan Kriya to
thousands.
The kriya’s most important benefit being reduced stress
levels, other benefits also play significant in enhancing one’s body system. It
helps support the immune system, increases optimism, relieves depression,
increases anti-oxidant protection and boosts brain function.
