Sivananda Ashtang Yoga Shala Nagpur We believe an ounce of practice is better than tones of theory. Our shala teaches the Yogic methods Our Yogashala is at Vijanangar, Near Poonam Chambers.

Sivananda Ashtang YogaSHala is a traditional Sivananda Yoga class. It is hard to put what actually Yoga means as it is like describing the rainbow in words, you have to experience it yourself. But if i quote from my teachers it is simply the "cessation of mind", the state of inner quietness. We at Sivananda Ashtag YogaShala Nagpur are just trying to spread the message of Master Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda. It is an old school of yoga which has its beauty in its simplicity and grace. We are just humble servants who are truly in love with it and spreading the message. Come visit us to experience it :)

🐄 Ramana Maharshi and Lakshmi

Lakshmi was a cow who lived at Sri Ramanasramam and had an extraordinary affection for Ramana Maharshi.

Whenever she came to see him, Ramana would speak to her with the same tenderness with which he spoke to his human devotees. He would stroke her head and sometimes feed her with his own hands.

People around him noticed that Lakshmi seemed unusually peaceful in his presence.

One day, Lakshmi became very ill. Ramana went to see her and sat beside her. He placed his hand gently on her head and remained with her.

Lakshmi became quiet.

Ramana later said that she had attained liberation.

What is especially beautiful is that Ramana did not regard animals as spiritually inferior beings. For him, the same consciousness lived in every creature.

He once expressed this vision beautifully:

“The Self is the same in all beings.”

Guide us Gurudev 🙏🌺
He taught us that Yoga is not something we do—it is something we become. 🙏

Swami Sivananda lived a life of service, simplicity, devotion and inner discipline.

His message was simple yet profound:

Serve. Love. Give. Purify. Meditate. Realise.

For him, spirituality was not about escaping life, but transforming the way we live, serve and see others.

A life dedicated to humanity.
A heart surrendered to the Divine.
A teacher whose wisdom continues to guide generations.

“An ounce of practice is worth tons of theory.” 🌿

“न योगेन समं बलं, न सांख्येन समं ज्ञानम्।”
“योग के समान बल नहीं, और सांख्य के समान ज्ञान नहीं।”

KODI RAMMURTHY — THE YOGI OF STRENGTH
Before India knew him as one of its greatest strongmen, Kodi Rammurthy Naidu was deeply interested in the ancient science of Yoga and Prāṇa.

He became known for his mastery of practices described as Vāyu Stambhana — the control and retention of vital air.

And then came the demonstrations that seemed almost impossible.

He could withstand enormous physical force, perform feats of strength, and was famously associated with demonstrations involving chains, vehicles and massive loads.

But perhaps the most fascinating part was not the strength.

It was the breath.

In Hatha Yoga, prāṇāyāma is not simply about breathing more air.

It is about learning to regulate the movement of prāṇa — the vital energy that animates the body.

As the breath becomes steady, the mind becomes steady.

As the mind becomes steady, the body can be brought under greater control.

Kodi Rammurthy’s life became a remarkable example of how breath, concentration, discipline and physical training could come together.

He was not merely displaying muscular strength.

He was demonstrating what he believed the mastery of the body through the mastery of prāṇa could achieve.

The real power was not in the muscles.
It began with the breath.

For the reel, I’d open with a close-up of him / an old photograph, then cut rapidly to chains, a vehicle, breath retention, and finally him sitting quietly in a yogic posture. The contrast between immense physical power and complete stillness would make the story much more compelling.

According to Swami Muktananda’s autobiography, Nityananda Maharaj gave him his sandals, imparted a mantra, and transmitted grace through his presence and gaze.
Muktananda described experiencing an intense inner stillness, joy, trembling, and a powerful perception of light.

Swami Muktanand:In his autobiography, Play of Consciousness, Swami Muktananda describes how his spiritual experiences unfolded over approximately nine years of meditation and disciplined practice. 
He reported several kinds of experiences:
Inner lights and visions: During meditation, he experienced brilliant lights, colors, and what he described as a blue pearl.

Spontaneous movements: Physical movements and postures arising during meditation, traditionally called kriyas in Kundalini Yoga.
Inner purification: Experiences of fear, desire, attachment, and changing states of consciousness.

Deep absorption: Periods of profound stillness, bliss, and a diminishing sense of individual identity.

In his tradition, these were understood as manifestations of Kundalini Shakti, the inner spiritual power, unfolding and purifying the seeker’s consciousness.

One of the teachings associated with Swami Muktananda is:
“God dwells within you as you.”

According to Swami Muktananda’s autobiography, Nityananda Maharaj gave him his sandals, imparted a mantra, and transmitted grace through his presence and gaze.
Muktananda described experiencing an intense inner stillness, joy, trembling, and a powerful perception of light.

Between What Happens and How We Respond Lies Our Freedom.

Imagine a man imprisoned in a N**i concentration camp. Everything has been taken away from him — his home, his family, his freedom, even the basic dignity of being human.

He cannot choose what happens to him. He cannot stop the cruelty around him. He cannot control the world outside.

But somewhere in the depths of his suffering, Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, discovered something extraordinary.

Even when everything is taken away, there remains a small space between what happens to us and how we respond to it.

Someone may insult you. Life may disappoint you. Someone may betray your trust. Circumstances may not unfold as you wished.

The event is one thing. Your response is another.

Between the two lies a moment — a moment in which you can pause, observe, breathe, and choose.

You can react with anger, or respond with awareness. You can allow suffering to consume you, or find meaning in the way you meet it.

This does not mean that suffering is beautiful, that injustice should be accepted, or that we must remain silent in the face of cruelty. It means that even when we cannot control what happens, we can cultivate the freedom to choose our next action.

And perhaps this is where the real practice of Yoga begins.

Not merely in holding a difficult asana, but in holding ourselves steady when life becomes difficult.

Not in controlling the world, but in becoming aware of the movements of our own mind.

The space between stimulus and response is the space of awareness. And awareness is where freedom begins.

🙏 Discipline. Devotion. Freedom.
