A STUDY TOUR --- A productive day:-

 

The students of FPYK along with Master ji and Lakshmi Viswanath

visited two interesting institutions in November 2003 and had a

wonderful experience.

 

First, they went to National Institute of Public Cooperation and

Child Development, a premier institution devoted to the promotion of

voluntary action, research, training and documentation in the overall

domain of women and child development.

Dr. M.S. Tara, Deputy Director and other members of the institute

explained the students of FPYK about the Institute and its activities.

 

Then, the students of FPYK, went to Foundation for Revitalization of

Local Health Traditions. Mr. G. Hariramamurthi, Convener, Medicinal

Plants Conservation Network spoke on the need and importance of

medicinal plants and their conservation. Emphasizing the value and

importance of these and since millions of people especially from the

villages depend on the traditional medical systems which use

medicinal plants, Mr. Murthi explained the need to protect these

plants. Mr. Murthi took the students to the garden where some of the

special and rare species of plants are being grown.

 

At both the places, the students had the opportunity to know more

about India.

 

After visiting these two study centers, the students went to

International Krishna Consciousness, one of the popular spiritual

tourist centers of Bangalore city. The students were introduced to

the yeoman service of the center, and the most popular service the

feeding of thousands of school children from all religions.

 

When the students went to see HANUMAN TEMPLE near ISKON temple, they

were astonished to see the size of the deity and to experience the

tremendous spiritual energy of the temple.

 

The students returned back expressing, in chorus, that they had a

great day and full of rich experience.

 

 

Lorraine Aronson, South Africa,: Serge Salvador, France; Joann

Walter, Britain; Mitchell Green Australia; Anna Adoue, Mexico,

Nina Nicola Williams, Australia completed the three months teacher

training course.

 

 

 

Returning to FPYK begins:-

 

Gil Spencer, U.S.A., Ximena Lopez from Mexico have come back again

to continue their practice at FPYK heralding the returns of the

students for continuation of their practice.

 

Mark Grogan, Australia and Lia Kruger, Canada have reserved their

place at FPYK to play their second innings in January 2004.

 

Steeve Buehler U.S.A. says,' Every teacher should go to FPYK

regularly and practice there for both self-improvement and to enhance

the ability of teaching. There, they find an opportunity to think of

themselves and their practice and teaching.'

 

 

A Special Visitor:- Professor Kenneth Liberman, University of

Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, U.S.A. and a best friend of Master ji, has

come to India and was with Master ji for a few days. He will be in

Mysore University visiting as a Fulbright Professor and give lectures.

 

 

 

REVISION OF COURSE FEE:-

 

FPYK has made certain changes in course timings and fee structure of

the courses. Please visit www.yogelements.com for details.

 

 

 

Nina Nicola Williams from Australia wants to know why even after

several years of practicing yoga, many of the students and some

teachers of yoga do not show any sign of change in their attitude.

 

Humanism is my philosophy. Humanity is my religion. Human beings are

my gods and goddesses. Their dwellings are my temple, church, mosque,

religious centers. The milk of human kindness is my presiding deity.

Chairman
