Yoga Training Camp



Yoga Training Camp

The fast growing society has realized that various faces of modern growth have failed to bring a value based life and consequential harmony. Contrary to this, they have fueled human abnormities and imbalances. Starting from an individual’s peace, aiming at a global one, is an ever growing challenge which is being faced and also attempted for an effective rectification by enlightened personalities with genuine concern.

Passion towards pleasure, blind race after wealth and luxury, lack of proper direction and self control, distance from traditional values and cultural infiltration have all taken the society in a pernicious route, eroding and misguiding the intellectual resources and also debilitating physical and mental health.

Our ancestors, who had deeper insight and compassion, have contemplated on different stages of evolution of social consciousness and formulated various physical and inner exercises and rituals to unveil the inner power as well as to stabilize the disciplinary system of human mind.

The art and science, being popularly known as ‘Yoga’, now has a better and broader reach in the whole society. It has become a subject, fashion and a tool for composite well being and also has gained tremendous popularity in the western countries. Innumerable institutions, teachers, grandmasters, books and research papers, Television Shows and camps have come and hopefully, so many are yet to come also. In the pretext of tradition, modernity, fusion and realization, so many obscure and uncertain systems are slowly occupying the crazy society. With limited knowledge or partial knowledge, practitioners magnify their efficiency and block the aspirants’ spiritual progress. New packages of Thai, Tibetan, Korean, African, Mayan meditations have become modern brides for result seekers thereby making the understanding of traditional systems with peripheral, compromising and trivial views.

In order to manifest the unique standards of traditional Yoga and also with the purpose of installing an authenticated and infallible system of Yogic structure, Forum of Scientists Aiming at Peace and Harmony (FOSAPAH) and Institute of Vedic Studies (Hyderabad) have proposed to organize a 3 days   spiritual retreat (on Jan 18th, 19th and 20th) at Tirupati.
