International Yoga Day

Dear Friends,

I am happy to share that Department of Physics, the University of Kerala also celebrated Yoga day in association with the Department of Optoelectronics. Prof. Unnikrishnan Sir, Founder HOD, Department of optoelectronics was the chief guest of the function. The function started at 11:00 am at Auditorium. The talk began with the quote of Swami Vivekananda. “Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and run riot there undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man making, character making assimilations of ideas”. The program was really benefitting the audience since we have touched upon an important necessity in student life that is the power to create. You can create whatever you want- That is the power of yoga. If you understand your body/mind/energy, then it is very simple to shape it into what you want, isn’t it? But the problems are that no one has ever taught it. From day 1 at school, if you look, you can see teachers/parents saying to us to concentrate/focus. But how will you do it? If none of us is trained to FOCUS, how can we teach our students to focus? Hence our government has decided to take one step forward that is to celebrate International Yoga Day on June 21 at every educational institution. As Nicolas Tesla Says if you want to understand the secrets of the universe, you have to think in terms of Energy, frequency and vibration. Let us say you want to listen to club FM 94.3 in your gadget. If you tune, 94.1, 94.2, we get a noisy signal. But if you get 94.3 then you get a clear crisp signal. Again if you overdo the tuning to 94.4, 94.5 again the noisy signal comes back. Similarly tuning your body/mind and energy to the desired frequency is the key to success. Overdoing/ under doing doesn’t fetch results. This is usually termed as Lazy work /Hard Word. Both never fetch results. The talk was focused to give us simple techniques to start yoga. I believe that FOCUS is actually a simple 3 step process. 1. Say Positive words in your mind 2. Clearly visualize what you are going to do 3. Have the right amount of feelings towards the job. Yes! These are the three things you have to practice. Many YouTube videos are posted these three laws like Law of Attraction. But don’t believe or disbelieve in it. You try it once, if it benefits you, then take it or else leave it. I feel that these are the practical steps that a person has to follow to reshape yourself to your version 2.0. Since I am a BRAIN fan, our nervous system always tries to be comfortable with our older self. If we want to change, our intellect does restrict ourselves from getting out of our comfort zone. Hence the above three steps will bring the necessary awareness for a better version of us. Energy is like water in the paddy field. Water flows without discrimination to both the plant and the weed. Likewise, Energy doesn’t discriminate between good and bad. If you look into the past 24 hours in your life, you can very well see how you have invested your energy. If you have invested it in distractions, how can you expect fruits in your life? Usain Bolt, the famous athlete spends his 10 hours of time every day just to run that 100-meter race in 10 sec. Anybody who invests 10 hours in his life for an aim definitely will reach there, since energy will harvest in that direction. The only thing that you can do for the world is to uplift yourselves. If one day in your life if you could say “What an amazing life? I would never have traded it with anything else!” Then that itself is the purpose of life. Happiness is never a pursuit rather make the lifestyle to be happy.
