On 16th June 2024, Sunday, on the occasion of the tenth International Day of Yoga, Yogoda Satsanga Society of India’s (YSS) Ranchi ashram hosted over 450 persons including many first-time visitors in a special programme introducing the basics of yoga meditation. Speaking on the theme “Finding Balance and Calmness through Yoga-Meditation,” senior YSS sannyasi Swami Ishwarananda Giri encouraged truth-seekers to explore the inner tranquillity that resides within each of us.
Drawing many truth-seekers to this serene ashram on a pleasant Sunday morning, this International Day of Yoga programme began with an introduction to Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda — the founder of YSS and author of the best-selling Autobiography of a Yogi.
Offering the newcomers a taste of the peace that can be experienced through yoga, Swamiji led them into a guided meditation session in Hindi which included the practice of the correct posture, preliminary breathing exercises, an affirmation, and a visualization.
Around 400 persons also joined the live-stream of this programme via YouTube from across the countrywide ashrams, kendras and mandalis of the spiritual organization.
At the end YSS invited truth-seekers to explore these teachings of Kriya Yoga as offered on the YSS path through home-study lessons on the YSS website.
