Hi Friends!

It's indeed a pleasure for me to write President's Column on behalf of ANANDADHARA.

I still remember the day in 2014, when in a small outlet in JP Nagar, I saw a poster (half torn) with a title “ANANDADHARA” and luckily, surviving at the edge of the poster a ten digit mobile number.I came to Bangalore in 2007,but till 2014, I felt nothing could be better than to celebrate Durga Puja in our own city,Kolkata. But in 2014, I was proved wrong. I dialed that ten digit mobile no and was asked to come to an address. When I reached there, I met a group of people (hardly 10 ) of different ages but having a common dream,with full of energy to do something for the society and build an association to enjoy every festival of the Bengali culture, share each other's problem and promise to help each other in a different city away from their native place. Yes, I am talking about ANANDADHARA, a team of 10 members of 2014 , have grown up to 70odd members along with their family and many more to join.

ANADADHARA is a non profitable socio cultural trust, based in JP Nagar, was formed on 15thAugust 2012, a very special day for all of us,with a vision to serve the society through socio cultural activities and to connect with people irrespective of caste and community, to build a culture where every people lives in harmony in this cosmopolitan city of Bangalore.As a socio cultural Organization, ANADADHARA always stands for humanity,participated in several fundraisingprogramme to support victims and their families affected by natural calamities, participated in Walkathon against corruption.

Along with other socio cultural events ANANDADHARA organizesDurga Puja, Laxmi puja,Kali Puja Saraswati Puja, PoilaBaishak ( Bengali new year), Makar Sankranti and Holi.This gives a platform to hundreds of people to take part in those festivals and enjoy every moment and connect with each other.

This year DurgaPuja at ANANDADHARA will be held from 26th of Sept to 30th September. A special attraction of this year Durga puja is a Flea Market.Apart from this there are Cultural programmesand various events organized by Puja committee.It therefore gives me immense pleasure, to invite you all, to Sixth year Durga Puja celebration 2017 organized by ANANDADHARA.

In this occasion a souvenir “Anandam” is being published by souvenir committee. We are grateful to the contributors as well as advertisersto come forward and support our venture to make it a success. I alsocongratulate thesouvenir committee for their great effort to publish this souvenir on time.

Let us pray to Goddess Durga to shower blessings on all of us and may this festival brings happiness, peace and prosperity to all.Wish you all a happy DurgaPuja & happy Dushera

With Best Regards

ANANDAM ANANDAM 54

From the Editor's desk…

As summer fades to fall the spirit of fes�vity takes over and there is a special feeling that Durga Puja is round the

corner! There is a gradual build-up over next three-four months as we discuss the events, onboard our

sponsors, plan our cultural events and have endless mee�ngs to chalkout the finest details. The Durga pro�ma,

theme-based pandals, lights, decora�on, music and food - help to celebrate this auspicious event in style and

grandeur. Shopping knows no limits - clothes, jewellery, books, and even home décor. It is �me for the family to

get together and share.

This year, we are celebra�ng the sixth edi�on of Durga Puja at Anandadhara in associa�on with J P Nagar

Cultural and Welfare Associa�on. On this occasion, let me present Anandam, the annual souvenir

ofAnandadhara. The word “souvenir” which has a French origin literally means amemento or keepsake that

makes us cherish a place or special event. In Sanskrit, the mother of all languages, Anandam, means “bliss”.

This mul�lingual souvenir is truly blissful as it's a pla�orm for crea�ve expression of art, culture and joy. The

ar�cles, poems, pain�ng and sketches in the souvenir are a reflec�on of creators' imagina�on, emo�on and

above all have a spontaneity of their own.As the write-ups are in different languages, it is a great example of

cross cultural and linguis�c assimila�on of thoughts that will appeal to a wider sec�on of the society.

In this edi�on of Anandam, you will get to know more about Yoga from Bijaya Bha�acharya who is a prac��oner

and a fitness trainer. As you master the different forms of pranayama, medita�on and postures, it transcends

you to a state of inner peace, sound health and happiness. The ar�cle on music by the same author is a

beau�ful illustra�on and research note on the correla�on of music and wellbeing.

The Bangla poems by Amarnath Mukherjee, a person of mul�faceted talent will mesmerize you with his

depic�on of God's crea�vity and affec�on for mother.Do not miss his poem on “Facebook”!Ankan Roy will

cap�vate our readers with his beau�ful descrip�on of autumn. Dr. Arunabha Sengupta has penned his thoughts

on Kavi guru Rabindranath Tagore. His other poems have beau�ful narra�ve on love and shades of grey

entangling the world. The write-up by Snigdha Choudhury is a chronical of how Durga Puja has gradually

changed over a period from a fes�val of faith, devo�on to tradi�on ge�ng lost. But s�ll the Utsav con�nues with

the same vigour and energy!

The ar�cle ದಸ�ಾ�ೖಭವ wri�en in Kannada by Thejaswini gives a vivid descrip�on of how Navaratri / Dusshera

fes�val is celebrated in our country/state – with a lot of grandeur. It emphasizes the importance of Navaratri,

says how powerful Goddess Durga is and the deep values this fes�val holds. A few of the famous Devi temples in

Bangalore are men�oned. In addi�on, the ar�cle touched upon the grand way in which the fes�val is celebrated

in Mysoreand how devotees rejoice the victory of Goddess Durga and Lord Rama.

The Hindi ar�cle penned by Inderpreet is a chronological narra�ve of Samuel Johnson's “A Dic�onary of the

English Language” which was published in 1755. This ar�cle is highly recommended for all to read.

The sketches are the original work of budding ar�st and is a true indica�on of their ar�s�c poten�al in coming

days. As Arunit's cap�on says, the friendly Spiderman may pop up any �me in our home! The artwork by

Ananya speaks highly of her crea�ve urge and quality of her cra�. The sketches by Shreyas aresimply adorable.

The poems from our young friends – Anwesha, Titus, Sumitra,Sumedha and Soumik are rich in imagery and

Dear Friends,

It seems only yesterday when we were all working overtime to finish the job at hand to present Bangalore a Durga Puja with a difference. Six years have gone by since then and each year Anandadhara has grown leaps and bounds with many creative ideas taking shape and transforming the face of Durga Puja celebration in this beautiful city we call our home. The journey so far has been enriching but not easy and on this grand occasion of Durga Puja I would like to thank each and every one of you for your immense cooperation and love in making Anandadhara what it is today.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to each and everyoneat JP Nagar Cultural and Welfare association for being a stupendous source of support since our inception, without your support none of this could have been possible.

This is Anandadhara's 6th year of Durga Puja celebration and like every year this year too we bring you a theme based puja and I am sure you would be more than pleasantly surprised with what has been presented to you by our amazingly efficient creative team.

With the moral of the world at all time low, with wars waging in various parts of the world, with the refugee situation only worsening day by day, human suffering has reached alarming levels. It is time that we alljoin our hands irrespective of our various differences to come together in brotherhood and harmony, promoting with all our hearts what the world needs the most today “Peace”. AnandadharaDurga Puja 2017 represents that very fabric of life which we are slowly forgetting to remember. If we are successful in bringing Peace to at least one person's life with our presentation this year we would happily accept our efforts being a success.

As a non-profit Socio-cultural organization we promise and resolve to be the wind of change and present to you each year a celebration that would keep your hearts warm and happy throughout the year.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has more than willingly come forward to donate and sponsor our Puja fund without which what you see before your eyes wouldn't have been a reality and with that I humbly would expect your encouragement and support for many years to come.

Like every year, Anandam comes to your hand with its refreshing content, we hope you like what we have put together for you.

Wishing each and every one of you a warm and heartfelt greetings on this auspicious occasion of Durga Puja and Dussehra. May Mother Goddess Durga bring peace, calmness and happiness to your lives.

Happy Pujas !

का सहारा लेते ह�। 'श� कोष' अथवा 'िड�नरी' आज िज़ंदगी का एक आम िह�ा बन चुकी है। िविभ� भाषाओ ं

अठारहवी ंशता�ी के शु�आती दौर म� लगभग पूरे िव� म� िश�ा और सािह� का िवकास अपने चरम-िबंदु पर

था। मु�ण-कला का आिव�ार और छापेखानो ंकी शु�आत ने �ान-�ा�� के साधनो ंम� �ांित पैदा कर दी थी।

लोगो ंकी िज�ासा िदन-�ितिदन बढ़ती जा रही थी। ऐसे दौर म� िसतंबर, १७०९ म� िलवफ़ी� म� एक पु�क िव�ेता

के घर एक बालक का ज� �आ। उसका नाम था सैमुअल जानसन। जानसन के िपता एक िनध�न ��� थे।

बचपन म� जानसन ब�त बीमार पड़ गया। जब उसकी हालत म� कोई सुधार नही ं�आ, तो उसके िपता उसे इलाज

के िलए लंदन ले गए। लंबे उपचार के बाद जानसन ठीक तो हो गया, िकंतु उसका चेहरा �थायी �प से ख़राब हो

गया। यहाँ तक िक उसे अपनी एक आँख से भी हाथ धोना पड़ा। जानसन की िज़ंदगी का काफ़ी बेशकीमती िह�ा

बीमारी की भ�ट चढ़ गया। इसके अित�र� पैसो ंके अभाव ने भी उसकी िश�ा को �भािवत िकया।सन १७२८ म�

उ�ीस वष� की आयु म� जानसन अपने एक अमीर िम� �ारा सहायता का आ�ासन पाकर ऑ�फ़ोड� यूिनविस�टी म�

की उपािध िलए वापस लौटना पड़ा।िलवफ़ी� लौटने के प�ात आजीिवका की सम�ा जानसन के सामने मँुह बाये

खड़ी थी। उसने सन १७३६ म� एिडयल म� एक �ूल की शु�आत की। लेिकन उसे मा� तीन छा� िमल पाए।

अ�ापकीय जीवन से जानसन को भले ही आिथ�क लाभ न �आ हो, मगर उसे अपने तीन िव�ािथ�यो ंम� से एक

डेिवड गै�रक के �प म� अ�ा सहयोगी �ा� �आ। यह वही गै�रक था, जो बाद म� िव�-िव�ात अिभनेता बना।

�ूल की असफलता के बाद जानसन डेिवड गै�रक को साथ लेकर लंदन चला आया। सन १७३८ म� अ�ंत

िनध�नता के बीच उसकी पहली पु�क 'लंदन एं पोएम इन-इिमटेशन ऑफ थड� सेटायर ऑफ जुनेबल' छपी, िजसे

अ�ी लोकि�यता तो िमली, मगर जानसन के िलए यह आिथ�क �प से अिधक लाभ�द नही ंहो सकी। सन १७४४

ई. म� जानसन की दूसरी क़ित 'लाइफ़ ऑफ �रचड� ' बाज़ार म� आई।ृ

लेखक बनना शायद जानसन का उ�े� नही ंथा। वह तो जैसे िकसी और ही काम के िलए दुिनया म� आया था।

उसके क�नाशील म��� म� सृिजत होनेवाली योजना सन १७४७ म� उसके �ारा अं�ेज़ी भाषा के श�कोष की

घोषणा के �प म� सामने आई। इसके बाद तो सैमुएल जानसन िबलकुल समप�ण भाव से इस काय� म� जुट गया।

लगातार आठ वष� तक वह श� संकलन के काय� म� जुटा रहा। वह रात-रात भर जागकर श�कोष तैयार करने म�

त�ीन रहता। इस दौरान वह खाने-पीने की भी सुध भुला बैठा। इसी बीच सन १९५२ म� अपनी प�ी पाट�र के

आक��क िनधन से जानसन को ज़बद�� मानिसक आघात लगा। मगर उसने अपने श�कोष िनमा�ण के काय� म�

िशिथलता न आने दी। अतः उसकी मेहनत रंग लाई और सन १७५५ म� दुिनया का पहला श�कोष �कािशत �आ।

इस श�कोष ने जानसन को सचमुच अमर कर िदया।श�कोष के कारण जानसन को इतनी अिधक लोकि�यता

अिज�त �ई िक श�कोष के बीस सालो ंबाद सन १७७५ म� उसी ऑ�फोड� िव�िव�ालय ने जानसन को स�ान

'डॉ�र ऑफ लॉ' की मानद उपािध से स�ािनत िकया, जहाँ से तक़रीबन ५० साल पहले धन के अभाव म� उसे

crea�vity and definitely not yawn. Read them at leisure to appreciate the innocence of their thoughts.

Publishing souvenirs during Durga Puja is a long-standing tradi�on of Bengalis. I must men�on that Anandam,

our annual Durga Puja souvenir is not just a means to collect adver�sements, but strives to provide a crea�ve

pla�orm to both the young and old minds. You can be assured all the edi�ons of Anandam(s) are for true

keepsake and are a collector's delight.

Durga Puja is the most happening fes�val of Bengalis that can be sensed with its spurt of fanfare on all the four

days of the fes�val. With the advent of Internet, the world is now a global village and we can get a virtual feel of

Durga Puja from anywhere. However as Bengalis take pride in recrea�ng Durga Puja where they live, there is

Durga Puja now in every con�nent, country and city. In J P Nagar, Bangalore we too we have taken all efforts to

create the fes�ve fervor similar to what is witnessed in Bengal.

The history of fes�vals is as old as the history of the human society. We celebrate Durga Puja to mark the victory

of Goddess Durga over the evil demon Mahishasura. It is celebrated during the last five days of Navaratri.I

share the commonly known allegory according to which the four days of puja equates to Mother Goddess's

annual visit to her paternal home on earth, along with her four children – Laxmi, Saraswa�, Kar�keya and

Ganesha. It is interes�ng to note that the Goddess is an inseparable member of our family and not merely an

idol who is worshipped.

But, Durga Puja is not merely a religious fes�val; it is essen�ally a socio-cultural celebra�on which also renews

harmony among people. It stands for triumph of truth over untruth, victory of righteousness over evil and

jus�ce for all ci�zens. This is taking a greater significance in current day context, as evil demonshave manifested

in new avatars like corrup�on, terrorism, crime against women, children and oppressed sec�ons of the society.

The modern-day Goddess Durga stands redeeming the mortals on earth from the darkness, untruth, pain,

suffering and gender inequality Cheering the spontaneous outburst of goodwill and gaietyas we celebrate this .

fes�val amidst celebra�ng women's power. Let us pray to Goddess Durga to strengthen the moral fabric of our

society and reinforce our religious beliefs and values, to build a na�on in which women and children are treated

as partners with equal rights.

It's my pleasure to place on record our gra�tude to all patrons for their generous adver�sements and

sponsorships which plays a key role in organizing the grand fes�val. Also, a big round of applause for all our

authors and ar�sts who have penned beau�ful ar�cles, poems, sketches, etc. which has helped us present a

rich and vibrant edi�on of Anandam.

I take this opportunity to welcome our new members to the Anandadhara family. We deeply appreciate the

generous support of the members and friends of Anandadhara to make the celebra�on a successful and

sustainable one. We thank all the volunteers for their enthusias�c par�cipa�on in prepara�on and

implementa�on of our program. Sincere thanks to J P Nagar Cultural and Welfare Associa�on for their

coopera�on in arranging this fes�val. And last but not the least, your valuable feedback and sugges�ons for

improving our future edi�ons will be graciously acknowledged.

Hope you enjoy reading Anandam!

Pujo gree�ngs and loads of good wishes to you from Anandadhara!

श�कोश का ज�

आज जब हम� िकसी किठन श� के अथ�, भावाथ� या मायने जानने की ज़�रत पड़ती है, तो हम त�ाल श�कोष

का सहारा लेते ह�। 'श� कोष' अथवा 'िड�नरी' आज िज़ंदगी का एक आम िह�ा बन चुकी है। िविभ� भाषाओ ं

के िविभ� आकार-�कार म� आज श�कोष िज�ासु लोगो ंकी �ान-िपपासा शांत करने हेतु मौजूद ह�|�ा आपने

सोचा है िक संबंिधत भाषा के हज़ारो-ंलाखो ंश�ो ंऔर उनके सही अथ� को एक �थान पर संकिलत करने की यह

िनतांत मौिलक प�रक�ना आिख़र थी िकसकी? कौन है वह श�, िजसने सव��थम इस किठन और दु�र काय�

को करने के िलए श�ो ंका सं�ह िकया?

अठारहवी ंशता�ी के शु�आती दौर म� लगभग पूरे िव� म� िश�ा और सािह� का िवकास अपने चरम-िबंदु पर

था। मु�ण-कला का आिव�ार और छापेखानो ंकी शु�आत ने �ान-�ा�� के साधनो ंम� �ांित पैदा कर दी थी।

लोगो ंकी िज�ासा िदन-�ितिदन बढ़ती जा रही थी। ऐसे दौर म� िसतंबर, १७०९ म� िलवफ़ी� म� एक पु�क िव�ेता

के घर एक बालक का ज� �आ। उसका नाम था सैमुअल जानसन। जानसन के िपता एक िनध�न ��� थे।

बचपन म� जानसन ब�त बीमार पड़ गया। जब उसकी हालत म� कोई सुधार नही ं�आ, तो उसके िपता उसे इलाज

के िलए लंदन ले गए। लंबे उपचार के बाद जानसन ठीक तो हो गया, िकंतु उसका चेहरा �थायी �प से ख़राब हो

गया। यहाँ तक िक उसे अपनी एक आँख से भी हाथ धोना पड़ा। जानसन की िज़ंदगी का काफ़ी बेशकीमती िह�ा

बीमारी की भ�ट चढ़ गया। इसके अित�र� पैसो ंके अभाव ने भी उसकी िश�ा को �भािवत िकया।सन १७२८ म�

उ�ीस वष� की आयु म� जानसन अपने एक अमीर िम� �ारा सहायता का आ�ासन पाकर ऑ�फ़ोड� यूिनविस�टी म�

अ�यन हेतु जा प�ँचा। िकंतु िम� �ारा सहायता नही ंिदए जाने के कारण जानसन को ऑ�फ़ोड� से िबना �ातक

की उपािध िलए वापस लौटना पड़ा।िलवफ़ी� लौटने के प�ात आजीिवका की सम�ा जानसन के सामने मँुह बाये

खड़ी थी। उसने सन १७३६ म� एिडयल म� एक �ूल की शु�आत की। लेिकन उसे मा� तीन छा� िमल पाए।

अ�ापकीय जीवन से जानसन को भले ही आिथ�क लाभ न �आ हो, मगर उसे अपने तीन िव�ािथ�यो ंम� से एक

डेिवड गै�रक के �प म� अ�ा सहयोगी �ा� �आ। यह वही गै�रक था, जो बाद म� िव�-िव�ात अिभनेता बना।

�ूल की असफलता के बाद जानसन डेिवड गै�रक को साथ लेकर लंदन चला आया। सन १७३८ म� अ�ंत

िनध�नता के बीच उसकी पहली पु�क 'लंदन एं पोएम इन-इिमटेशन ऑफ थड� सेटायर ऑफ जुनेबल' छपी, िजसे

अ�ी लोकि�यता तो िमली, मगर जानसन के िलए यह आिथ�क �प से अिधक लाभ�द नही ंहो सकी। सन १७४४

ई. म� जानसन की दूसरी क़ित 'लाइफ़ ऑफ �रचड� ' बाज़ार म� आई।ृ

लेखक बनना शायद जानसन का उ�े� नही ंथा। वह तो जैसे िकसी और ही काम के िलए दुिनया म� आया था।

उसके क�नाशील म��� म� सृिजत होनेवाली योजना सन १७४७ म� उसके �ारा अं�ेज़ी भाषा के श�कोष की

घोषणा के �प म� सामने आई। इसके बाद तो सैमुएल जानसन िबलकुल समप�ण भाव से इस काय� म� जुट गया।

लगातार आठ वष� तक वह श� संकलन के काय� म� जुटा रहा। वह रात-रात भर जागकर श�कोष तैयार करने म�

त�ीन रहता। इस दौरान वह खाने-पीने की भी सुध भुला बैठा। इसी बीच सन १९५२ म� अपनी प�ी पाट�र के

आक��क िनधन से जानसन को ज़बद�� मानिसक आघात लगा। मगर उसने अपने श�कोष िनमा�ण के काय� म�

िशिथलता न आने दी। अतः उसकी मेहनत रंग लाई और सन १७५५ म� दुिनया का पहला श�कोष �कािशत �आ।

इस श�कोष ने जानसन को सचमुच अमर कर िदया।श�कोष के कारण जानसन को इतनी अिधक लोकि�यता

अिज�त �ई िक श�कोष के बीस सालो ंबाद सन १७७५ म� उसी ऑ�फोड� िव�िव�ालय ने जानसन को स�ान

'डॉ�र ऑफ लॉ' की मानद उपािध से स�ािनत िकया, जहाँ से तक़रीबन ५० साल पहले धन के अभाव म� उसे

िबना िड�ी के खाली हाथ लौटना पड़ा था। इस िज़ंदािदल म�मौला श� ने सािह� संसार को श�कोष की

प�रक�ना के �प म� अनुपम तोहफ़ा िदया। सन १७८४ म� ७७ वष� की अव�था म� सैमुएल जानसन हमेशा के िलए

Publishing souvenirs during Durga Puja is a long-standing tradi�on of Bengalis. I must men�on that Anandam,

our annual Durga Puja souvenir is not just a means to collect adver�sements, but strives to provide a crea�ve

pla�orm to both the young and old minds. You can be assured all the edi�ons of Anandam(s) are for true

keepsake and are a collector's delight.

Durga Puja is the most happening fes�val of Bengalis that can be sensed with its spurt of fanfare on all the four

days of the fes�val. With the advent of Internet, the world is now a global village and we can get a virtual feel of

The fierce sun shone uninhibited,

Through powerless fleeting clouds,

Pushed through thirsty brown leaves,

Heated up the fractured ground.

And heated up a mound of flesh,

Featherless, fallen off his nest.

His mother's cries sounded like silence

Mixed with foliage and cricket chirps.

And a pair of yellow eyes watched-

The little bird on the naked ground.

The forest saw his regal wings,

Swooping down upon a helpless prey,

But negated nature's course as

He stopped abruptly on his way.

Circled round and round above

The helpless one on the burning ground.

The forest watched in silent awe-

A hooded beak hovering broad,

His gigantic shadow never left the bird.

And the fierce sun failed to heat up

Through the regal, wild, Godly gird.

WINGS ON FIRE

by Siri Andanur

The universal appeal of music is well-known. It influences all levels of human consciousness taking our

a�en�on away from unpleasant and unwanted ma�ers. Listening to good music keeps us relaxed and calm. A

wealth of studies revealed how music posi�vely influences on physical as well as mental health.

Music does not have language or geographic barrier. It is scien�fic indeed, there is growing evidence showing

that the brain responds to music in very different way. Melody and rhythm are interpreted differently in the

brain thannon-musical tones. It resonates many different areas of the brain. A symphony influences

brainwaves to slow down to lower frequency range. It is clinically proven fact that soothing music reduces

levels of the stress hormone known as “cor�sol”. The result is reduc�on of hypertension, anxiety etc.On the

other hand posi�ve emo�ons are evoked. This makes a las�ng effect on physiological systems. This is the most

evident reason of evolu�on of music therapy.

Effect of music on physical systems of human body

There are a number of other posi�ve

effects apart from relaxa�on. It has been

scien�fically proved that music relieves

pharmaceu�cal pain during pregnancy.

During early labour, music promotes

relaxa�on. Listening to good melodies

releases 'endorphins', which are natural

pain relievers. In fact, music therapy is

being used in pain management, even in

post-surgicalsitua�ons.

Music therapy is effec�ve in reducing

stress in pa�ents with the diagnosis of

acute myocardial infarc�on. Studies

revealed that lowering apical heart rates

were more successful in amusic therapy

group than in a control group.The

incidence of cardiac complica�ons are found to be lower in the interven�on groups.

Children, even infants respond

posi�vely to music. Any parent knows

that it's natural for a child to begin

dancing and singing at an early

age.Music can grab and hold our

a�en�on of a child, and control goals,

both of which are skills we need to

succeed. Even memory and pace of

learning are enhanced too.

Music is a part of our lives. A healthy

lifestyle cons�tutes a wholesome use

of music on an everyday basis. Keep

on listening to soothing music you

love, this helps to maintain good

health.

THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC

I watched it fall, dancing with the windA vivid green caught my eyeWhy did it fall, had it sinned? That bold little leaf floated by.

The earth was damp, a barren strangerAs it touched the ground I could have sworn -That I saw it shiver, a lone little ranger Enclosed by the strangeness of the unknown.

The leaf soon succumbed and embraced the earthAs if they were two forgotten old chums.Once lost now found, it seemed their reunion was worth- The parting, as now, to the earth it had come.

I gazed at it appalled as I could not comprehend The familiarity between the leaf and the groundIt had left its home, wasn't it grief- stricken? Did it approve of this vast profound?

Unlike many of us, the leaf had recognized, That the ground was the start; it would be the end.As I stood there and watched, I soon realized That every one of us would have to transcend.

Above these bonds of worldly pleasuresAbove the ephemeral joys and lustAs ashes would only turn back into ashes,And dust shall only go back into dust.

It is said "The face is the mirror of the mind”. If the mind is strained the face is bound to be dull. Stress and

depression can easily be read from one's face. Sedentary lifestyle, improper nutri�on and illness show up as

dull appearance on your skin as well. It has alwaysbeen an unanswered ques�on how to remain a�rac�ve,

especially to women.

If you're told that Yoga is the best answer, you must be wondering how the prac�ce of Yoga can have effects on

the skin. This is understandable, acceptance should not be based on assump�on or a mere sugges�on. There

must be a factual proven rela�on. However, modern science does not intend to contemplate nor confront the

philosophy of Yoga.Fortunately, researches worldwide, though discrete, have conceded many surprising

abili�es of Yoga; looking young is one of them indeed. Let me look into what Yoga brings to a prac��oner in

simple terms with an inclina�on towards science.

Foremost, we need to understand that Yoga is not synonymous to postures, it is a collec�on of dis�nct

branches, e.g. Kriya, Mudra, Bandha etc. and progressive stages like Pranayama, Medita�on etc. Even if set

aside the spiritual aspects, advancement to higher stage is necessary for be�er results.

At the ini�al stage Yoga focusses on physical exercises. The inten�on is to make the body healthy to such a state

that you never has to worry about illness. Instead, completely devote your �me on upli�ing your conscience.

Once a�ained to this level you are ready to proceed to next stage. Now, let's analyze what goes behind the

scene. Yogic exercises are op�mized such that it increases Oxygen intake with least efforts. An example is Surya

Namaskara. Second, it does not increase the demand on heart or lungs to work very hard. In fact, it is suggested

to relax in Savasana in between postures. Third, the blood flow increases to internal organs; not only to the

limbs. Consider the example of inverted postures which creates a flash flow of blood to the brain. By the �me

you're elevated to the advanced stage to begin Pranayama, all channels of your body are completely obstacle

free. You hardly need a physical exercise once you reach there. The focus is now shi�ed to maintaining higher

oxygen level, thus the stage of Pranayama is laid out. The result is evident, that we call holis�cwellbeing. The

inner peace and sound health appear externally as beauty.You will achieve this benefit even if it is not focused

explicitly. That's the secret of staying young and a�rac�ve.

Some of the postures in this context and the benefits they carry:

Matsyasana(FishPose)The fish pose gives a good stretch to our spine and neck. This increases the blood flow in the upper body.

Regular prac�ce improves skin texture, making you look radiant.Mood,emo�ons and stress are regulated.

PadaHastasana(StandingForwardBends)This asana invigorates the en�re spine and the nervous system. It is an excellent posture to nourish the skin.

Chakrasana(wheelPose)The chakrasana is a great all round toner.

It stretches your spine and reduces

s�ffness. This asana has a wonderful

effect on the nervous, diges�ve,

r e s p i ra t o r y a n d c a r d i o va s c u l a r

systems.It relieves the body of many

gynecological disorders.
