Bharat Yog

Bharat Yog is an honest effort to save the original form of yog science introduced by the Rishis of Bharat to benefit the humanity without any discrimination of caste, colour, country or sex as these Rishis have been looking at this entire universe as one abode:

“Ayam nijeh paroveiti gannam laghu chetsaam,
Uudaar charitanaam tu vasudhaiv kutumbkam.”
(This is mine and this is others’, such discrimination is the thinking of shallow thinking people, for broad hearted ones this entire universe is one great family.

Yog, contrary to the common belief, is not just a set of physical and respiratory exercises. Yog is not only about asan, pranayam or bandh, mudra and meditation. Its sphere transcends the limits of physical health, beauty or mental solace. In fact, these are the natural outcome of yogic state of being. We are grossly mistaken if we try to confine it to just being an alternate therapy or just a source of health and longevity. There are examples that ‘Bhasmantmidam shariram’ -- the physical existence of a being concludes into Bhasma i.e. ashes -- may it be after burning or burying. Even the greatest of yogis of their times, may it be Lord Krishn, Janak, Ram Krishn Paramhans, Vivekanand, Swami Dayanand or many more, had to die.

Diseases free state of being beauty and longevity besides joyful state of mind is yog. ‘Sankhya yog darshana’ (Sankhya, a philosophy of yog) says, ‘Dukh trya abhighatad jigyasa tad apghatake heto’ (the increasing pains and sorrows in the life of modern man compelled him to think for some way out to get rid of these sorrows and the sure and only answer being ‘yog’). Entire world is attracted towards it as it does not only enable us to get rid of sorrows and sickness but blesses us with sanctity and spiritual bliss.
How we face a challenge or tackle a problem is entirely on us. EVEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ONE IS NOT WITHOUT A PROBLEM. The trick lies in Yog.

Just being a yog practitioner one can be happy and satisfied in life. Yog touches all the levels of human life and helps in pleasant feelings and constructive images.

“Yog Vidya pustakon se grahen nahi ki ja sakti, Yog ka prasad pane ke liye guru ke sannidhya ki avashyakta hai… Knowledge of yoga can never be gained through books you need a practical training under the expert guidance of a guru.” says Yog Guru Bharat Bhushan ji.

‘Gu’ in Sanskrit means ‘darkness’ and ‘Ru’ means ‘dispel’, hence Guru means the one who dispels the darkness and brings more understanding and light. For spiritual enlightenment one needs a guru but its not at all important that the one wearing the saffron cloth only can be guru. Bulleh Shah, a saint lost in quest for God Realization, was once moving along the road messed up in the thoughts couldn’t notice when he arrived in mid of the road. The traffic was disturbed and a cart man coming from behind shouted at saint Bulleh Shah, “Bhai Passe Ho” (brother be aside). Bulleh shah regained himself with folded hands and feeling of gratitude towards the innocent cart man saying “this cart man has given me the secret of life that for God Realization one has to come out of the duality, he is the true guru’.

Hence anyone who dispels the darkness and brings more understanding and light is the guru.

Guru is the master of life who has the powerful insights to share. He drops into people’s lives to guide them in the right direction, to help them play there biggest games as human beings, discover their destiny and live their dreams.

“Every elite athlete has a coach to help them play at their best. Think of yourself as an elite performer on the playing field of life- you need a coach to guide, inspire and champion you as you evolve into who you are destined to become. Whoever enters the way without a guide will take a hundred years to travel a two day journey.” Says Robin Sharma

Land of India has given such enlightened gurus to the entire world, may it be Krishna who gave the knowledge of life and death through Geeta or may it be Swami Vivekananda who was given the topic “Zero” to speak at Chicago and he made the world mad after him or may it be Maharishi patanjali who made the science of yog easily available for the humanity. In fact in modern concept may it be Shiv Kheda who is exploring the power of positive thinking or Yog Guru Bharat Bhushan ji who has given his entire life in exploring the correct form of yog and is making people live a disease-free life, enlighten their souls and is exploring the perfect way of living or Robin Sharma who is making people develop their abilities and live life at its full, and so on.

Guru is needed for the spiritual enlightenment and practice of yog should definitely be done under the expert guidance of a Guru as yog practice definitely give amazing positive results to the practitioner if practiced correctly, but its true as well that yogic exercise practiced wrongly can even harm the practitioner as the physical conditions and mental needs of the individuals vary with each other.
