Romanian Yoga Group Visit to Chinmaya Mission







**

It was a pleasure to receive Mr. Florin Stanscu and his seven students from Romania, Europe, in Chinmaya Mission, as a part of Yoga Programme, which is being regularly conducted by Sri Gopalsamy, Joint Secretary, Chinmaya Mission, Madurai.

Mr. Florin Stanescu, is practicing yoga for the past 22 years and has close association with Sri Yogeswar Karthik, Chennai. The master Mr. Florin, demonstrated a few high tech Asanas, along with his students and explaining its effects on the body and spoke thus:

µ His country Romania is called after our great Rama and has many references for it.

µ It is so unfortunate to see that many Indians are not aware of their own treasures and

still many are hidden and yet to be explored !

µ India is such a sacred land where great sages like Patanjali walked and breathed this air

µ When compared to India, Europe is nothing in culture, civilization and tradition

µ Yoga makes one’s body and mind tuned to realize the Supreme

µ Yoga helps one to meditate

µ Yoga is Universal, though he is a Christian by birth, practicing Yoga for several years

and teaching to the Romanians

µ Whatever be the trouble or chaos in one’s life either personal or official, meditate. The obstacles will disappear and explained his personal experiences.

These ancient, but golden verses heard from our Acharyas and great thinkers. Experiencing India from the ‘voice of abroad’ makes one to be proud of the soil! Hence we are more indebted to our mother Bharat !

Chinmaya Mission members and Yoga students were assembled in large numbers, in that pleasant morning. Mr. Gopalsamy, welcomed the foreign yoga delegates and Mr. Thilagar, Secretary, thanked the gathering.
