Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS), under its Holistic Health Initiative- Aarogya, organised a remarkable program - ‘Vilakshan Yoga and Dhyaan-Sadhana Shivir’ - to commemorate the International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2024, at DivyaDham Ashram, Delhi. Under the divine guidance of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, the event was celebrated in alignment with the Ministry of Ayush, Government of India's theme, ‘Yoga for Self and Society.’ An adept yoga practitioner and disciple of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, Sadhvi Parma Bharti Ji, guided the attendees through this yoga session.
The immediate beneficiaries of the event included 600 men and women from all age groups. The young female volunteers of SAM (Self-Assessment and Management), the Youth Engagement Program of DJJS, also participated in the Yoga Shivir. Additionally, the event was streamed on the DJJS YouTube Channel- djjsworld, allowing thousands of yoga enthusiasts from across the globe to benefit from the event.
The session began with collective prayers and invigorating OM chanting, calming and divinising the ambience. Furthermore, a scripturally authenticated flow of Yoga asanas and Pranayamas was demonstrated by volunteers from DJJS Aarogya. Sadhvi Parma Bharti Ji elaborated on the health benefits of each yoga practice. The core concept of this session was the overall strengthening of the spine to achieve holistic health.
The uniqueness of DJJS Vilakshan Yoga & Dhyaan-Sadhana Shivir was that, in addition to performing the asanas and pranayamas, the participants [disciples of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji initiated in Brahmgyan - The Eternal Science of Self-Realisation] practised Brahmgyan-based Dhyaan.
Brahm Gyan is the eternal science of realising and communing with the divine within. While asanas strengthen the body and pranayama enables breath control, it is the practice of Brahmgyan-based Dhyaan, taught by the Perfect Spiritual Master of the time, that empowers an individual to dive within and commune with the Divine. Regular practice of Brahmgyan-based Dhyaan purifies the minds of individuals, shaping strong characters that have the power to transform society.
Under the divine guidance of Divya Guru Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, DJJS Aarogya has been organizing Vilakshan Yoga Shivirs throughout the year for over three decades, even before the global inception of the International Day of Yoga. The aforementioned event was not a standalone one; rather, hundreds of Vilakshan Yoga Shivirs were organised across the DJJS worldwide network of over 350 branches. Hundreds of thousands of people were inspired to incorporate yoga into their daily lives and embrace holistic wellness.
