organization which Propogates 'Yog' as
way of life or culture in the society

of every soul by imparting training in
yog to one and all irrespective of

It
is the principal aim and objective of
the organization and also the motto encrypted
in its logo which is the message of
the founder of the organization, parampujya
yog murti Janardhan Swami , The Devine
Saint, Guru, The Source of Inspiration
and principle Guiding force of the
organization.
Yogmurti
Janardan Swami 's message was
loud and clear. Swamiji gave us the
message loud and clear that
intelligent people
practice yogabhyas daily to live life
filled with contentment, happiness and health.
The same message composed by Pradnya
Bharati Shri Warnekar in Sanskrit words,
'Samadhanay
Soukhay Nirogtvay Jeevane,
Yogmevabhyaset Pradnyah Yathashakti
Nirantarm', is encrypted on
samadhi of Yogmurti Janardhan Swami.
The
message was simple but most effective
in transforming several lives, who
actually experienced the effects of yogabhyas.
They naturally devote themselves to
spreading yog in society as Swamiji's
messengers. Swamiji had clearly
advised the yogvidya ought not be sold and
it should be taught free to persons
willing to learn. he had also advised
that one who learns yog must
teach five other persons yog freely
and repay the obligation as Gurudakshina.
He laid the principle by his own
example.
Parampujya
Swamiji was rightly called 'Yogmurti'
by his biographer Pradnyabharati Dr.
Shridhar Bhaskar Warnekar, as Swamiji
was always thinking of yog, shaping those
thoughts on yog and even breathing yog
for the betterment of people to build a
strong nation with rich human resource
of efficient healthy people with
healthy mind.
The
greatest messenger of divinity
Parampujya Swami Vivekanand had once
defined religion as' "Every
Soul is potentially divine, to
manifest this divinity within is the true
religion, all are but secondary
details". Parampujya Janardan
Swami was true embodiment of that
true religion and the ultimate
realization of that definition of ] religion.
He was truth, compassion, devotion and
discipline personified. He was angel with message of health and happiness
for one and all.
World
health organization have spelt their
goal for 2000 as "Total health
for all" and defined total
health as "physical, mental and
social well being". However it
missed on the aspect of spiritual
well being. Janardan Swamiji knew that
yogic way of life can help
achieving well being in all the four
aspects. He therefore spread the
message of yog for contentment,
health and happiness for one and all.
Swamiji
was a great missionary with vision. He
rightly recognized that man is bound to
suffer from the acute stresses of
high-speed, high-tech modern society
which is full of materialistic
excesses, avarice, indiscipline,
inherent contradictions, bad habits
which would cause several
psychosomatic disorders & ailment.
However he was confident that he
had single but the most effective
solution for all these.
Great
Yogic Preacher : He was the pioneer of
the concept of sanghik yog and developed
it as a front end tool for application
of yog for the well being of man and the
society, simultaneously. He was the
great experimenter and researcher par excellence
and thus invented the tool of sanghik
yogasanas - The collective, concerted,
synchronous yogic exercises of
hundreds even thousands of people together
for real happiness and emancipation of
people from ills of the westernized modern living. Yogvidya was hitherto
before meant for mystics or sanyasis
only. He removed all such taboos,
misconceptions from the minds of
people and critics and the gates
of ganges of yog to one and all
irrespective of caste, creed, faith,
religion and sex. He had
blessings and permission of Shri
Shankaracharya for this. He like great
Bhagirath, brought this ganges of yog
from Gangotri of 'Pantajal Yogdarshan' to the doorsteps of commoners by
simplifying it into special version of
simple exercises of yog asans and
kriyas, which relieved them from
stresses, anxiety, and ill health
as well as ensured their health,
contentment and happiness. His motto
was yog for "Bahujan Hitay
Bahujan Sukhay".
Swamiji
was always on the move for the cause
of yog. He was full of compassion for fellow
beings. He always rushed to the rescue
of the sufferer of chronic ailments, who
had tried all medicines, in vain. He
used to take distant walks to reach to
the sufferer right at the
appointed time to teach some yogic
asanas or kriyas. Usually the
blessed person used to get substantial
relief and get into a convert to yogic way
of life and devout admirer of Swamiji,
Numerous experiences of such type are vouched by many beneficiaries even
now.
Initially,
yog was forbidden area for women.
Swamiji demolished this barrier and imparted
knowledge of yogasanas and yogic
kriyas to women, as he rightly recognized
that women are basic to the
development of future generations and
most vital to real progress of the
society as a whole. Women disciples of
Swamiji reciprocated the faith Swamiji
reposed in them. They spread yog
teaching from house to house with
great zeal and spirit. Even now women
teachers of yog are doing great work
and put up major share in making yog a
big movement.
In
1954, Swamiji started two certificate
courses for training people as
instructors or teachers of yog during
Summer Vocation. It is the most
important and regular program of
yogabhyasi mandal, as it helps to
propagate yog far and wide in the
society. Students of these courses
used to be of ages raging from 14 to
70 years. They understand the
theoretical principles of yog better
and to greater depth with adequate
practical expertise in these courses.
They are confident and able to explain
and teach planned curriculum of
yogabhyas to others in well defined
manner, free of cost as a mission of
their life.
It
was a great success. He could train
more than 5000 people through these
courses as a yoga teacher with immense
potential. Some of them have been
spreading yoga devoutly in the nook
and corner of the country.
It is
through such spontaneous process that
yogabhyasi mandal, the legacy and lineage
of this great saint, avowedly and
ceaselessly propagate yog, spread yog totally
free of cost and spell the unique
heritage of their guru - the purpose
of achieving health and happiness
for all through various programs of
