Yoga and healing through yogic methods are the new mantra of this age. The corporates are increasingly taking recourse to yoga, yoga retreats and such practices and are encouraging employees to indulge in such practices. But there is a dearth of such teachers and real exponents of such knowledge. Himalaya is a place in India where yogis are supposed to reside. They may also have been practicing the art of yoga or the path of Ashtanga Yoga for enlightenment. They may seek enlightenment through strengthening the body and the mind. Himalaya is far away and who is going to bring the knowledge and yogic practice of Himalayas to the cities? Well, there is someone we would talk about like Swami Vachananand who spent many years in Himalayas in austere practice of Yoga and philosophy and has dedicated his life in preaching the yoga methods in the well being of the society. Due to divine grace and consent the sage has become immensely popular in propagating the precepts of yoga all over India and abroad in countries like America, Canada, UK and many other nations. What he feels today is to propagate the science of yoga and use yoga therapy in the well being of human beings by teaching people and making experts of Yoga Therapy.
