Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF), Chinmaya International Foundation Shodha Sansthan (CIFSS) and Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) have embarked upon celebrating the International Yoga Day by conducting a three-day national level conference from 30 June to 2 July 2023.
This conference Yoga
as An Embodied Culture of Bharata endeavours to present Yoga as subsumed in
various cultural, religious and social practices in India. Both the classical
and the folk (tribal) forms of art such as dance, music, painting, sculpture,
martial arts, etc. exhibit various facets of Yoga. Religious practices such as
pilgrimage, observation of vows, community-oriented festivals, etc. also
incorporate the mental and physical practices of Yoga. Simple daily practices like prayerful
attitude in all activities (karāgre vasate lakṣmī, etc.), how food is cooked,
served and eaten, how one takes a bath, how one decorates the courtyard with
rangoli/kollams, etc. depict that the very social life of an Indian is
ingrained in the foundation of Yoga.
The conference strives to throw light upon the contribution of Yoga towards various such socio-cultural and religious practices in India.
