1. World Yogasana Championships Mumbai, India January 8th, 9th & 10TH, 2010

The World Yogasana Championships in Mumbai, India are organized by The Yoga & Culture Association of Maharashtra (Mumbai), sponsored by Life Mission, Gujarat, India and conducted by the renowned Lakulish Institute of Yoga of Gujarat State, India.

The World Yogasana Championships have been organized for the specific purpose of encouraging youth’s participation in Yoga. Why Yogasana competition? It is well recognized throughout the world that youth are both attracted to and highly engaged in competitive sports activities. Yoga is our cultural heritage gifted by God and the sages and it seems both practical and sensible that for preserving this rich heritage, Yoga should be propagated among youth as a sport activity. Yoga practices and dietary observances are an unparalleled means of achieving a disciplined body and mind and the Yamas and Niyamas are a way whereby youth can understand the importance of moral codes of conduct.

Why the World Yogasana Championships ?

While Yoga has its cradle in India, Yoga has, indeed, become universal. And while Yoga is not a religion, it is safe to say, that all religious prophets, irrespective of whatever religion they followed, unfolded the Truth from within through Yoga practice.

And yet Yoga is seen in the West, almost exclusively, as a series of deep stretching postures and physical exercise. Without reference to its historical and spiritual context, Yoga has been grossly misrepresented and it is therefore both timely and necessary to draw the attention of our youth and foreigners, alike, as to the real context of Yoga.

By first interesting and encouraging youth to engage in Yoga as a competitive sport and experience its benefits first hand, it is anticipated that ultimately they will be much more inclined and interested to delve into the true meaning and heritage of Yoga. India’s cultural heritage is also to be well exhibited at the World Yogasana Championships.

The Yogasana Championships are to be held in Mumbai January 8,9, & 10th, 2010 and the host organizers are providing foreign Yoga participants in the Championships free Mumbai hotel accommodation, free meals and free daily local transportation to and from the site of the Championships / hotels throughout the Championships duration.

Your association members are encouraged to send interested individuals to participate in the Championships. Full details for registering can be found at Life Mission’s website: www.lifemission.org.
