[world-vedic] Yoga Used in Austrian Schools

[Guest guest]

RARE occurrence is attracting devotees to a pilgrim centre, a few kilometres

away from Saint Tyagaraja's samadhi, in Thiruvaiyaru, near Thanjavur. The

Jagadrakshaka Perumal temple, in Thirukoodalur, near Kapisthalam, on the

Thanjavur-Kumbakonam route, one of the Divyakshetrams, and hence a holy centre

for Vaishnavites, is being renovated. The prakarams are ready and the

reconstruction of the gopuram and shrines is being carried out. A month ago,

when the authorities decided to cut parts of the jackfruit tree that was in the

temple complex, for use in the renovation work, they found a natural formation

in the shape of a big conch, about five feet in height and two feet wide in the

middle, on the trunk. As the workers and devotees felt it was a divine

phenomenon, the felling of branches was stopped. Turmeric paste was applied to

mark the portion so that it would be clearly visible from the ground. — DVV

AUSTRIA, March 11, 2003: A conference and action day of the "Viennese Center of

Health Promotion" was held in the historical rooms of the Viennese Town Hall.

More than 20 exhibitors gave a summary of their efforts to improve the health

situation especially for pupils and students. One of the most frequented stands

was "Yoga In Daily Life." Developed by Sri Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami

Maheshwarananda, this practice is becoming successful now in Austrian schools.

It is part of a special project for school-development called "Learning by

Movements" that gives accents for better health making the youngsters to better

balanced persons. "Yoga In Daily Life" also offers special seminars for teachers

at all levels. Many speakers emphasized the importance of yoga as a perfect

balancing principle for the western industrial
