Saharanpur, Yoga Sadhana is not only to be done in the morning, it can be done at any time, even while sleeping. Yoga Nidra has a different joy and great importance, revealing this, International Yoga Guru Padmashree Swami Bharat Bhushan said that limiting yoga to a blind race is not wise, it needs to be understood properly. Limiting yoga to only asana exercises is to greatly underestimate the knowledge of yoga, he said this in an intense yoga dialogue with Bharatyoga teachers and acharyas at Mokshayatan International Yoga Institute. He said that people have made the mistake of limiting June 21 International Yoga Day to one day, whereas Yoga Day is to establish that we should make every day a Yoga Day, in the same way, Yoga Sadhana is also to adopt the entire Yoga philosophy in every moment of life. Yoga Guru Bharat Bhushan has started to get rid of this misconception by calling for the celebration of Yoga Week 100 days before Yoga Day by the Government of India and 7 days before 21st June by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, that only one hour of common yoga protocol should be practised in the morning. Yoga Guru Bharat Bhushan said that in order to create awareness about yoga during this period, yoga seminars, yoga sanskar camps, yoga-oriented diet, meditation discussions and method practice, yoga solutions to various problems, painting and slogan and essay writing, etc. should be organised at any convenient time throughout the day, in addition to dialogues and lectures, demonstrations on yoga sutras in closed auditoriums at other times besides early morning. The Yoga Guru expressed surprise that the organisations invite him to Yoga Day programmes in the morning because the organisers have considered asanas and pranayama as yoga, how can one go everywhere in the morning. He said that when I suggested to many organisations to hold programmes in the day or evening, they were surprised but were happy to understand that no big arrangements would have to be made for this and people would be able to continue their practice at their homes after getting their queries resolved. Swami Bharat Bhushan expressed his pain that now Yoga does not reach the level of conduct, but starts with Asana Pranayama and ends there. Explaining the importance of group yoga practice, he said that this time he will be in his city Saharanpur on Yoga Day on 21st June and will do yoga with everyone in the program organized by the district administration in Company Bagh. Inviting everyone to this group yoga practice, Yoga Guru Bharat Bhushan said that we all have the right to be healthy and happy through yoga.
