Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sir, Post-mortem of Team India! Though with a heavy heart, let me speak out. All that super hype that was being shown all over the print and electronic media impending the world cup had created that unwanted and unwarranted sense of complacency in the Team India that made them lose the match. The yogic secret of winning is the mood of equanimity that keeps the head cool and makes one play with full confidence, not over-confidence which is called complacency. From day one of the hyper-hyping, I was feeling too much derisive, thinking of this very day of hate and burning of effigies of the players who failed miserably at playing for the World Cup. Yoga teaches equanimity. That was no where to be seen. There are simple yogic exercises for strengthening the spine. If your spinal health is at the optimum, you can perform better and no one can defeat you. For the last 15 years or more I have been trying to tell the BCCI about the simple five-minute spinal yoga that shapes up the entire physical and mental health. If you are mentally strong, you perform much better with full concentration. That confidence with full concentration was no where to be seen among the Team India that failed miserably at the World Cup matches. I have had not only written to the BCCI several times in the past, but I have also demonstrated the simple spinal yoga to the former Chairman of the Cricket Selection Team Mr. Chandu Borde when he had a bad back. Sachin Tendulkar's sister in Pune had also contacted me before Sachin was to go abroad for treatment of his bad back. But it was too late as by that time, Sachin had already flown out for treatment abroad. Had he learnt that simple five-minute do-it-yourself spinal yoga, Sachin could have avoided his subsequent sports injuries for whch he had to be treated again and again abroad. But, as the famous saying in Hindi goes, " Nakkarkhane mei tooti ki awaaz kaun sunta hai " (who would listen to the lowly trumpet in a big noisy orchestra?), we are where we were in the sports field internationally, achieving precious little not only in cricket but even in the Olympic Games. Hope the BCCI chief Sharad Pawar and the union minister for sports are listening. S. M. Acharya Founder of ATBSNR.com for total spinal health.
