Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 This Yogi takes Vedic science to East & West Smriti Malaviya Allahabad, January 16 THE VEDIC science which has ruled the life and behaviour of millions of Indian people since thousands of years will now radiate the life of students of Asian and American countries. This extraordinary mission has been launched by Hathyogi Dr 'Yogishri' Balakrishnanji of Singapore. Fondly called as 'guruji', Balakrishnanji has done immense research on the temples in South India and has come out with some amazing facts. "Every temple in the South India depicts the human body, both internal and external. These temples were apparently constructed to save the human race. It motivates people to take care of their body and treat it like a temple," said Dr Balakrishnanji. "The South Indian temples are divided into seven chakras just like seven chakras in human body. The Kumbh is placed on the highest point of temple is human 'kapal' or skull, leaves of mango are hair and the pillars and designs on it is 72,000 veins. All these temples were constructed with a logic, which is missing in the temples in America and other Asian countries," he added. Dr Balakrishnanji said the temples were divided into seven chakras including swadhishthan, manipura, anahata, vishuddha, agnay, sahasrara and soma. "For instance Anathatam Chakra is connected physiologically with the heart plexus of nerves. It is depicted as a twelve-petalled lotus, green in colour with a six pointed star and compassion and the ability to overcome fate. In the writings of the Siddhas, anahata is said to be where one's thoughts and desires are fulfilled. With its awakening one becomes a master over the situations in his life," he said. Dr Balakrishnanji has written over 50 books on Yoga, vegetarian Yoga food, Ganesha and its various Swaroops (forms). Overcoming the language barriers he has taught Yoga to students in Taiwan, Japan, London and South Indian states in India. "I am practicing Yoga for the past 35 years and see how fit I am. Yoga has taught me to never lose the patience," he said. Dr Balakrishnanji said that every Indian has immense potential to grow in his life and survive in extreme conditions. "The Vedic science of our seers was so advance that it guided all the activities of human life. But we have almost forgotten it. That is why I decided to translate Veda into English so that it could enlighten the life of millions of students in America and other countries," he said. Dr Balakrsihnanji said he has already completed two English editions of Vedas. A total of 50 books consisting of 500 pages would be compiled, he informed. http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/5922_1902070,0015002500010000.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
