geeta, after reading your lotus poem, i notice in this one also free association. and thinking of other poems of yours as well, i suspect you are a person who likes thoroughness. i was attracted to this one because i practice yoga- mostly for its physical benefits, but, as you point out, it encourages awareness in general, not just awareness of the body. thinking of the common origin of yoga and the english word yoke, i see why you think of yoga as a way of life. with my background, i think of jesus saying (at the end of matthew 11 in the new testament) , take my yoke upon you. glen

Thanks for sharing this lovely poem, Dr. Geeta. I am a recent recruit to the Yoga camp and it was more because of medical reasons than anything else. But I agree with you there. It does have lots of other benefits apart from a toned body.

Thank you Jasbir! Really happy to know that you are an aspirant of Yoga. Yoga helps you to keep physically fit. But much more than that - it helps one to evolve as a beautiful human being. Wishing you all success in the path of Yogic study.

Very well written, Geeta. 'An art of living-' wonderful, reminds me of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a wonderful human being. He often visits Kashmir and runs orphanages here. A very close friend of mine had some problems many years ago and Ravi Shankarji provided very valuable advice on a public forum. Saw him on television yesterday and he was talking about Yoga. I have never met him personally but met some of his adopted kids, in one of his orphanages and they were lovely. Thank you Geeta for bringing back those pleasant memories.

Thanks again for this heart warming comment, Ayman :) Yes, the words 'Art of living' has been made famous by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - a teacher of great wisdom. Do you practise Yoga too?

No Geeta, I do not practice Yoga exactly. But I do perform a mediation sometimes. Which I think is a Yoga too
