Wellness For Life
It is no
secret that we all seek a happy, satisfying and trouble free life. The
hope of an ‘elixir of all ills’ that makes us instantaneously healthy
and blissful is high in the modern world. We know all too well that such
a panacea is but a mythical concoction. A realistic approach might be to
try and find solace by leading a balanced life in a healthy social
environment. On another plane, people find personal and spiritual
development in the form of Yoga, meditation, devotion and related
techniques.
The
benefits of Yoga and meditation need no introduction, and are known the
world over. There are many other systems that people follow in order to
develop their personality, health and fortune. However, personal
experience tells us that these practices have not helped us develop our
spiritual quotient. We are still plagued by mental afflictions such as
desire, anger, lust, jealousy and an inflated ego. Even though we may
have perfected many asanas and meditations techniques, there still
exists a void that we cannot explain or fill. True happiness has evaded
us, although the eagerness to search for it has not diminished.
Unless we
address the fundamental problems that affect our minds, real happiness
will continue to elude us.
The
Garudpuran say,
‘Yog’ is
the union of the soul with God. For this union, the participation of the
mind is of prime importance. It is the mind that needs to be united with
God. A soul attains true happiness when it unites with God.
The
Panchadashi says,
“The mind
alone is the cause of bondage and liberation”
Performing
penance, austerity and Yogasans alone will not fetch us the true
happiness or bliss that we seek. Yogasans can ensure a very healthy
body, but cannot treat the disorders of the mind. Meditation, if
practiced as per the Vedic scriptures can lead us on the right path and
give us the true benefit. Without the complete involvement of the mind,
true ‘Yog’ cannot be achieved. Hence, the mind needs to be fixed on God
for any of these Yogic techniques to be effective.
Recognizing the dire need to educate people about the inadequacies of
today’s system of ‘Yog’, Swami Mukundananda, with the grace of his
spiritual master, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, decided to reveal
the true system of Yog for the benefit people around the world.
‘Wellness
for Life’ is a holistic system that combines the ancient traditions of
Yoga, Meditation, healthy diet and spiritual lectures for attaining
complete well-being at the physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual
level. Prime importance is accorded to the involvement and concentration
of the mind in God during practice of all the disciplines prescribed in
‘Wellness for Life’.
It is our
sincere endeavor that every person learning the true art of Yog should
benefit from this holistic system of living. It is complete by itself,
and it can be easily incorporated into your daily life with a little
effort of the mind and body.
We urge
you to participate in the ‘Wellness for Life programs’ and experience
the true happiness that your soul has sought since eternity.
To commemorate Swami Mukundananda's tour
of USA in 2009, JKY has released a magazine (souvenir) that shares
knowledge about Yog, devotion as well as quotations from Shree Maharajji,
photographs, and many special features.
