Yoga Shiksha Shibir 2012 at Kashmir
A
15 days (20 August to 3 September 2012) Yoga Shiksha Shibir (YSS) was
organized at Nagadandi (Kashmir), an oldest branch centre of Vivekananda
Kendra Kanyakumari.
Vivekananda
Kendra Kanyakumari used to regularly organize All India Yoga Shiksha
Shibirs here till 1989 and in that year more than 100 had participated.
This year’s - 2012 – Shibir was the attempt to resume it after a long
gap of 23 years. Total 11 participants from 7 states (Uttar Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Mahathanyearshan 100 participantsrashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Tamilnadu & Andhra Pradesh) turned up with lot of hesitation as the
news they were receiving through the media was so discouraging. But the
beautiful Kashimir’s attraction was so powerful that the so called
disturbed area did not become the blockage in their path.
Though
the number was small, but the participants were receptive and all
proved to march the path of a Yogi- A Karmayogi. The participants while
sharing their experiences narrated how their will was strengthen by
following time to time daily routine and how to get the things done when
one get their mental blockage of negativities removed by getting the
whole out look to see the things in different perspective. This
attitudinal change was the outcome of the 15 days YSS.
As
the Kashmir is the crown of the Bharat, the vibrations can be felt more
intensely while one is on the spot. This Ashram (where Vivekananda
Kendra is situated) is doubly sanctified by the intensive Tapas of Swami
Ashokanandaji, a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. So this Yoga
Shiksha Shibir is the beginning of the All India activities of
Vivekananda Kendra in Kashmir and many more such activities are to come
in future.
The
Vivekananda Kendra Ramkrishana Maha Sammelan Ashram is situated in
Acchabal Distict near Anantnag. This was handed over to Vivekananda
Kendra by Swami Ashokanandaji in 1972 to Swargiya Ekanathji, the founder
of Vivekananda Kendra. It is a beautiful campus with more than 8 acres
of land. Vivekananda Kendra is maintaining it well and also organizing
local and all India activities. Though after 1989 Kendra could not
organize all India activities as this was militancy disturbed area till
recent years, the local activities – Ram Navami, Nag Panchami, Bhandara
in Khir Bhavani, helping needy in difficulties were going on without any
break. All the people feel free to be part of the activities and also
extend help to the Ashram. This Ashram is house to all.
