Inter-faith meeting held for Sri Lankan Tamils

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 02:43 AM PDT

Perhaps it was an appropriate way to apply a soothing balm to the wounds of those residing in the war-torn regions of Sri Lanka. As many as 1,500 persons took part in an inter-faith prayer meeting organised by the Art of Living (AoL) at the Lady Wellington College Grounds, opposite the Marina Beach. on Sunday.

The participants prayed for the well-being of the Tamils who are facing uncertainty in the strife-torn regions of the island, which was recently at the centre of a row following a resolution moved against it in the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Mass prayers and meditation sessions were conducted on the occasion. The event was attended by leaders from as many as five different religions — Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism and Sikhism.

Veerendra, a volunteer associated with AoL for over eight years, said that the participants performed meditation and chanted prayers for the well-being of their brethren in Sri Lanka. The meeting lasted for about one-and-a-half hours.

Take a break and build stamina through yoga

Posted: 08 Apr 2013 11:43 PM PDT

Dubai: If you are among those workaholics whose brains and bodies always go into overdrive, better go for a healthy break now than be a candidate for a breakdown soon, a yoga master has cautioned.
"We all want to go faster and faster and we don't know how to take a break. When a car has to go very fast, you also need to have a good brake for it. If you don't have a good brake, you'll crash at some point," Girin Govind, yoga master and secretary to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Art of Living (AOL) founder, told Gulf News ahead of the Yogic Marathon or Yogathon 2013 scheduled on Friday in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Organised by AOL, Yogathon 2013 is a free event for yoga and fitness enthusiasts where they will be taught the 12 yogic Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) postures to relax the body, mind and breath rhythms for improved wellness and deliver amazing results in a short time.
Yogathon 2013, which is now in its third year, is also a mega-challenge for participants to complete 54 sets (108 rounds) of the Surya Namaskar for a Gold Certificate. All participants, however, will receive a "Spirit of Yoga Certificate".
