Masterji

Upaishads prescribe 'mati' meaning discern mind as one of the niyama that every yoga student should observe. Mati is a mind which has the capacity to discriminate and understand. Here, the individual never understands in a narrow way or in a subjective manner. The individual gathers sufficient information of the subject, tries to know the origin and the background of that subject as well as the reason and the necessity and finally infers without being influenced by his/her personal views or any prejudice. The individual perceives and detects the difference between the right and wrong; true and false. This is mati.

There will be a yogasana competition on 24th and 25th June 2006 in Belgaum city, near 150 kilometers from Goa. The venue of the competition is MARATHA MANGALA KARYALAYA, near Railway Station. The competition will be conducted in various age groups for both boys/girls and men/women separately. About 400 competitors are expected to take part in this competition. Each competitor will perform TEN asanas prescribed to his/her group.

Master ji will be participating in this competition and will be in charge of conducting the competition.

There will be no classes in Master ji's school in his absence from 22nd to 27th June 2006.

There are many tourist places in and around Belgaum city. Badami and Pattadakal, Aihole and Banashankari are about 200 kms from Belgaum. Kittur, Savadathi, Kolhapur are some of the near by places of interest to visit.

What the students of Master ji say:-

I have been using it (pranayama DVD) a lot and find it very good, it motivates me and help me to learn more about pranayama. It also makes me miss Bangalore and practising with you!!! I have told many people about the DVD and hopefully they will all go on the website and order it!
