21 Nov Justice Dharmadhikari on Truth and Yoga
Talk by Judge Shri DharmadhikariI have a liking for Yoga, I have less of an understanding of Yoga. I do find some time to study Yoga and practice it. My people at home do keep telling me that if the judge does not remain poised everything will go haywire. And to keep the judge in a state of equipoise, Yoga is a must. This much I can say with my own experience and the experience of others. When I was informed that Truth was my subject of presentation today, I was in a way relieved because Truth was your subject of presentation today, I was in a way relieved because Truth is intimately connected to Justice with which I am connected. In one of his Ashram talks Gandhiji said that Yoga brings about equipoise in man and take him towards Aparigraha and he is prevented from hoarding things beyond his immediate needs and all these are following the path of truth. Friends, it is very easy to talk about Yoga, but to follow it in everyday practice is extremely difficult. Today if there is any leading light for our judges, advocates and courts it is Mahatma Gandhi. You will also find reference to him in many of the judgments of the Supreme Court and the High Courts. You should understand that this is because truth has a lot of bearing on the administration of justice. You just mentioned that when we go to court, we swear that we shall speak the truth and nothing but the truth.21 Nov Stress Study by The Yoga Institute

20 Nov CARE OF THE EYES THROUGH YOGA
- An interview with a Leading Ophthalmic SurgeonIt was a wet and chilly day. A middle aged man with a pleasant
appearance came to the doorstep of Institute wiping his glasses and
soaking to the skin. "Can we help you?" asked the attendant at the desk.
A mild smile, and then, "I was called today. I am Dr. Dave", said the
visitor. The person at the desk courteously led him to Shri Yogendraji,
The Founder of The Yoga institute. The bond seemed to be instantaneous
of two simple great men. After exchanging a few pleasantries an informal
discussion ensued. Shri Yogendraji in his vibrant tone said, "I came
across a book by Bates, Sight without Glasses and I became intrigued
that people did not know about the yogic way for restoring eyesight. So
I wrote down in my Yoga Personal Hygiene book how to look after the eyes
and other organs of the body by ancient methods. People were amazed to
see in our country and in other lands that there was so much that the
Yogi knew about internal cleansing and they were able to look after
their bodies perfectly well. The doctor said he was not very much
acquainted with yogic methods of eye care. We had requested the doctor
to clarify a few points which were claimed in Yoga.
