Inspiration & principles

Swamy Vivekananda Mother Theresa Mahatma Gandhi Many religious masters

How they managed their stress??. Is Yoga played any role ?

I strongly believe
They must be followed many methods to relive their stress ( yogic or non-yogic) Few must be followed certain yogic principles

Directly or indirectly knowingly or unknowingly

Non Yogic methods also must be having some relationship with Yogic principles.

I strongly believe
Yoga sutras are Absolutely for IMPLEMENTATION & CONTINUES PRACTICING
NOT JUST FOR

Reading & Understanding

An example (Sankhya Yoga-62)

Any Wish

Attachment

Anger
Loss of memory power

Loss of intelligence
DOWN FALL

An example (Essence of BIBLE)

LOVE

&

HUMANITY

I strongly believe
Patanjala Yoga sutras are like ocean

Implementation of few drops which are critical and crucial for the life and achieving the objectives It requires lot of determination and dedication

It is certainly Long TERM PROCEDURE for long term benefit.

Present Situation
Its our Unfortunate Grid

Corporates are conducting Significant programs

But Professionals had Insufficient time to Attend the program Practice But Institutions are NOT conducting SIGNIFICANT PROGRAMS

Students Have sufficient time To Attend Practice

Futuristic recommendation
No Doubt Patanjala Yoga sutras had complete solution

1. Explore those critical and crucial sutras for managing professional stress 2. Exploration should be a research subject and ICPR have to bell the cat. 3. Such critical and crucial sutras should be part of course from the college. Why not few from the schooling?? 4. Implementation should be measured and monitored by governing bodies like SSC Board, Intermediate board, Universities. Academic insts. 5. The Food Niyamas should be tabulated and implemented
