YH YOGIC HERALD AUG SEP 2017_DIGITAL | Page 9

[EDITORIAL] Editor's note S ilence and Yoga have gone along together since eternity. We have all listened to stories of sages of the Vedic times who would sit quietly in Siddhasana in the forest and do nothing for the whole day. They'd just observe. Some of these sages went on to observe things that no machine has been able to do so far. Obviously the power of the mind, body and spirit can be tapped and totally harnessed through the tools of Yoga. Inner Silence plays a huge role in this. One has to use it to know its power just like Gautam Buddha or Mahatma Gandhi did. In this issue, we get to understand about the power of silence, its correct interpretation and implementation. In the travelogue section, our crew of Travel takes us to a remote and unexplored village inside the Binsar forest which is completely virgin and lies in the leopard territory. An experience of a lifetime and a great piece of information that can be turned into an opportunity by our readers. US based Yog Guru and Acharya Girish Jha writes about the origin of Yoga and its journey to USA. We cover Yogi of the East Shashi Kumar from Patna performing Yoga asanas and pranayam under a banyan tree for inspiration. This issue features Interviews of noted celebrity and activist Milind Soman, and also India's award winning Naturopathy practitioner and Yog Guru Dr. Anil Jain who has performed 88 Yoga asanas at Lake Mansarovar near the legendary Kailash Parvat. In this issue, we have tried to bring to you a good mix of spiritual features, Yoga illustrations for practitioners and guided experiences of some remote meditators and Yog Gurus. This apart, we have news and info about events from the world of Yoga that you might like to attend. Editor in Chief Ishan Mukherjee [email protected] Your inputs are extremely valuable for us.
