Why should I do it?” This is a question which always comes up in one’s mind whenever one is asked to do anything. The action must produce a result, which means to say we are always accustomed to perform actions with an ulterior end or motive, and never in the spirit of karma yoga.

The majority looks for material advantages, and when yoga promises superphysical and spiritual blessings, it becomes unattractive to the common mind, clamouring for immediate tangible results. Yoga is not merely a means of personal regeneration but is universal in character, and can be and should be effectively applied in all walks of life – social, national, educational, etc. This concept of yoga ranges beyond not only the physical but also the mental realms of e

Salutations to Surya, the Sun-God, who on this great day embarks on his northward journey. The Sanskrit term “Shankramana” means “to begin to move”. The day on which the sun begins to move northwards is called Makara Shankranti. It usually falls in the middle of January. Among the Tamilians in South India this festival is called the Pongal. To many people, especially the Tamilians, Makara Shankranti ushers in the New Year. The corn that is newly-harvested is cooked for the first time on that day.
