Yoga Training at Orphanages
Sab Ka Mangal Ho Foundation
INTRODUCTION
The Foundation began its operations across India, comprised of tree plantation drives, water resource management, eye checkup camps and mid-day meal programmes at orphanages, aspiring to create an awareness about healthy environment practices, enhancing life skills and promoting good health amongst the people. In addition to the common initiatives, the foundation decided to propagate lifestyle improvement, leading to a cleaner, healthier and merrier state of mind of the people.
FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGY
The real delight of existence comes from all the minute aspects of one’s lives, which the Foundation worked on to make their mind operate for a practical purpose. “Wellness for all or Sab Ka Mangal Ho” yearns to create such avenues where the total prosperity of an individual is facilitated.“Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me’ free you shall be”- Sri Ramakrishna
With the roots of the establishment emerging from the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga became an empirical way to achieve the goal.
ACHIEVEMENT AND IMPACT
Yoga is the union of the self with the divine consciousness. Eventually, being one of the methods of training individuals to have an evolved mind which can think, innovate and differentiate between right and wrong. Exclusive access to effective yoga under the tutelage of determined teachers is being provided at 23 orphanages to over 700 children, across three locations around India. Yoga equipment’s like mats, t-shirts and other accessories have also been made available to the centers for a hassle-free execution of the programme.FUTURE DIRECTION
“Thought is not essential to existence nor it is the cause, but it is an instrument for becoming; I become what I see in myself”- Sri Aurobindo.Sab Ka Mangal Ho Foundation is now focused to amplify the initiatives to avenues like public transport drivers, railway personnel, construction workers, hospital employees and so on. It is actively working on forming a community of passionate Yoga teachers willing to conduct sessions all over the world, taking the programme to an international pedestal. Apart from the above, the foundation wishes to provide advance training courses to the beneficiaries from the orphanages and others who are keen to take Yoga forward as a profession.
With a plethora of social causes to brace and to implement, Sab Ka Mangal Ho wants to seize the most significant of all, which is the power to reason and amplification of thought. ‘Mens sana in corpore sano’ - a healthy mind in a healthy body, is the ultimate goal.
The community that one is a part of today, is a farrago of various people, each having a unique way of life. Every non-profit organization has a universal vision of making the world a happier place with whatever that can be provided by the ones who are capable. Social interventions though of different nature, are all directed towards a wellbeing and an essence to feel joyous, momentarily. This is where “Sab Ka Mangal Ho” makes a difference.
