DIWALI GIFTS FOR VILLAGES

On the occasion of Diwali the ashram cooked and distributed sweets and snacks to tribal villages around the ashram. About 2500 families received the sweets and best wishes from Yoga Vidya Gurukul and our Guruji, Dr Vishwas Mandlik. Guruji donated half of the amount and the remaining money was donated by the Ashram shop.

INDIVIDUAL YOGA LIFESTYLE AND YOGA THERAPY PROGRAMS

We are now running yoga therapy programs in the ashram for individuals. The programs involve specialised yoga therapy, naturopathy,ayurveda, specifically tailored diet and other treatments. Programs run for 10 days with a strong focus on healing body and mind.

So we decided to grow 100 % organic produce in the ashram 2 years ago. We neither wanted to use pesticide nor fertilizer nor GMO seeds. Instead we acquired traditionally preserved seeds, ashram cow dung, cow urine, and some other natural leaves of trees in the ashram. And we are very happy to inform that we have made it possible and are now growing more than 15 varieties of fruits, 4 types of grains, 3 legumes, 3 nuts, 4 beans and 12 different vegetables. All of this produce has the special ashram energy and is inviting you all back to the ashram again. 🙏😊

Update from Yogapoint..

In last 3 months, world has seen a very difficult time. It has changed everything for everyone. People suffered and still suffering, others realized many new things, understood importance of health, limited needs, nature connection and so on.

During this difficult times, at Yogapoint Ashram, we wanted to contribute back to the society and help people to the best of our abilities.

1. Distributed food packs to 500 families (wheat floor, rice, lentils, spices, oil, tea, sugar, salt and chili). One pack will last for 15 days in a family. Many daily wage workers who live in the small villages needed helping hand due to no work as everything is locked down.
2. Understanding the need to spread deeper aspects of yoga to reduce suffering we started uploading different yoga philosophies and practices on YouTube free for all. (Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Pranayama, Yoga classes, Meditation sessions) https://www.youtube.com/yogapoint108
3. Focused more on Organic farming in ashram and happy to tell you that we have STOPPED all pesticide use in ashram. Also realized that Ashram has 14 types of fruits which are 100% organic and are available in different seasons.
4. We are designing various yoga online courses and will be available soon. This was all possible because of your support and love. Thanks again...

Corona problems will be resolved soon. And life will be almost normal. Let us pray for that..🙏🙏🙏
