Mokshayatan International Yogashram celebrates Vivekananda Jayanti

Mokshayatan International Yogashram celebrated the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on January 12, 2022. In her address, Acharya Pratishtha said, “The confident and magical personality of Swami Vivekananda deeply touched the hearts of people around the world. Swami Vivekananda was the living example of a perfect coordination of philosophy and conduct.

Yoga practitioner Shri Arshad Malik said, “What we have learned with Swami Bharat Bhushan is priceless. “It is difficult to get to the essence of Yoga without getting to its core. Swami Vivekananda made the world crazy about Yoga and spirituality,” said Yogacharya Pradeep Kamboj.

Yoga practitioner Tabassum explained that people who considered Yoga as merely a physical form of exercise are those who are not aware of its entire essence. Talking in detail about Swami Vivekananda, Yogacharya Anita Sharma said that in his Chicago Dharma Conference Swamiji introduced the world to the universality of Hinduism and the world accepted the deep relationship of Yoga and Spirituality.

Yoga Sadhak Dr. Ashok Gupta expressed his happiness as everybody present in the program wore saffron turban. Shri Vishal Gulati could be seen sharing the same sentiments. “It is such a pleasant site watching the seekers of Mokshayatan International Yogashram wearing saffron turban with pride.”

On the occasion, Maa Ishta Sharma urged the seekers to think of the whole world as a family. Known as the modern day Vivekananda, Padmashree Swami Bharat Bhushan said, “Swami Vivekananda introduced Indian culture of unity in diversity in the world. Whoever came in contact with him was influenced with his thoughts. I was influenced with Swamiji’s personality to an extent that even my first international travel was to Chicago, which was a matter of pride for me.”

The yoga guru appreciated the efforts of the seekers for organizing a unique program on Vivekananda Jayanti.
