20th PONDICHERRY STATE AND 2nd TAMIL NADU STATE YOGA SPORT CHAMPIONSHIP 2005

[Guest guest]

Namas te

I wish to introduce to you the Pondicherry Yogasana Association, which is the official body for Yoga Sports in Pondicherry. It is recognised by the International Yoga Federation (South America) as well as the Asian Union of Yoga (New Delhi) and affiliated to the Indian Yoga Federation (Kolkata).

Founded by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj in 1975, the PYA has been active in conducting Yoga Sport events such as 19 Pondicherry State Level Yoga Sport Championships, five Swami Gitananda Best Youth and Child Award Competitions and the State Level ‘Himalaya’ Yoga Olympiad Competition in 2001. We have also assisted the Govt of Pondicherry, Tourism Dept in conducting the International Yoga Festival for the past 12 years.

Yoga Sport is the best activity for youth of our beloved country as it entails virtually no infrastructure nor equipment that is required in other sports such as Cricket, Hockey etc. It acts as a catalyst in stimulating the youth to take up a holistic practice of Yoga that has been scientifically proved to be of great physical, mental and emotional benefit for the individual. Yoga is a preventive science and by our youth taking up its practice we can save great man power and money power of our nation that is otherwise pumped into the health (disease!) system.

We are planning to conduct the 20th Pondy State and 2nd Tamil Nadu Invitation Yoga Sport Championship on the 13-15th of August 2005 and request you to publicize the competition in your centre/association/school/institute and send maximum number of participants from your side. There will be separate prizes for Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu in every category.

 

Any sponsorship from well wishers is most welcome as the competition is being conducted on a non-profit basis by the PYA.

 

Details of the syllabus for the competition can be obtained by contacting the undersigned at 0413-2622902, 0413-2241561 or mobile 98423 02916, 98423 11433. Email: ananda

 

 

Thanking you in expectation of a prompt reply and action from your side.

Yours in Yoga,
