Pushti Yoga

I had this discussion with Jagadguru Shree Vallabhacharya ji Maharajshree a few months back. JJ had this interesting idea of confluence of health + seva in a fashion that can gel completely well. The outcome could be what he called "Pushti Yoga".

There is an increasing trend of attending yoga sessions by the urban population in India and across the world. Yoga is one of the best ways to attain physical fitness. Along with body yoga also mobilizes the mental channels to be able to think pure and fresh.

Pushti as we all might be aware of a path which just believes in True Love to God. Pushtimargiyas does not accept any returns from "Thakurji" for their seva. The sheer "Anand" of having my lalaan enjoy seva at my place is the utmost fruit of Pushti marg.

So how about combing this two forms of natural, pure and godly technique.

His vision of Pushti Yoga was something like this. All the vaishnavs will come to attend this Pusti Yoga camp. They will be taught all the aasanas which are the yoga-aasanas. Along side there will be music and explanation which will be going on in parallel which will teach all this vaishnavs the basics of Pustimarg.

E.g Like when you are doing "shavasan" , imagine that you are along side "Shreeji bawa" in his "vraj mandal" and visualize you doing his seva and there are all the other vrajwasi's and Gop-Gopi's surrounding you. This will also be accompanied by a kirtan from "Aasta sakha". The experience just by the means of imagination is thrilling.

I thought by the means of this blog, I would share the views with fellow vaishnavs and also invite them for any suggestions and comments over this.

Jay Gokul Ke chand Ki.
