Jammu, Jun 21: YCET celebrated 5th Intern-ational Day of Yoga on 21st June with the enthusiastic participation of Management and Staff members of all departments with the celebrations spreading in the campus. Every year YCET celebrtaes Yoga day with the belief "Yoga for All, All for Yoga" as quoted by Hon'ble Prime Minister of India. The programme was organized to spread awareness of Yoga in all aspects, both for the unititated as well as for the practioners. We aimed our day with the theme as stated for the year 2019 i.e. "Yoga with Gurus" where Brahmakumaris from Om Shanti Medit-ation Centre, Jammu, was invited in YCET.
Preceeding to the Yoga Day, the institution has organized three sessions namely Yoga, Raj Yoga and Talk on Today's Life style. The programme was intitated by B.K. Kusam Lata, who in her welcome remarks highlighted the Indian Orgin of Yoga, which is a Sanskrit word orginated from the root word "Yuja" which basically means to bind, to align and to hold. Brahma kumaris Ravinder Bali, Mohani, and Ravi demonstrated various asana. Warm up exercises were taken and all the staff members performed sitting and standing asana with great zeal and enthusiasm. The importance of these exercises were explained simultaneously by B.K. Mohani. They further explained that Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restrain and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature. Raj Yoga session was taken by B.K. Kusam Lata where she pointed out that "Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique- such as mindfulness, or focusing their mind on a particular object, thought or activity-to train attention & awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state, followed by Omkar chanting. Today's Life style has changed drastically over decades which was well explained with lively and joyous examples quoted by B.K. Ravinder Bali.
The session lasted for three hours and concluded with synchronized recitation of shlokas. The thanking address was given by Er. K.R.Sharma. It was indeed an enegising experience for one and all.
