Why Us – Our Sincere Approach
Govindam Yoga – Yoga School in Rishikesh India
With Govindam Yoga, our intention is to apply the science of Ashtanga & Bhakti yoga by adapting the traditional knowledge of the great sages along with the theistic modern science to develop a profound understanding of yoga and its personal and universal impact. This way we strive to preserve the essence of the teachings of ancient yogic texts. The science of yoga is a technique that helps us to manifest the divinity that lies hidden within the inner recesses of our personalities. Our teachings of Yoga do not limit to the yoga program, it extends to personal revelations, transformation, and ultimately self-realization.
In order to embark on the path of yoga, the most important thing for a yoga practitioner is to understand the very nature of body, mind, and the most important the soul. Govindam Yoga educates reveals the hidden treasures of wisdom mentioned in the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the other Yogic texts. Our Vision is ;
- To educate, empower, and inspire people through the wisdom of yoga and spirituality.
- To help people in achieving the holistic wellness of the gross body, subtle mind, and the eternal soul.
- To inculcate in people the importance of yoga to lead a life of physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
- To cultivate the awareness of the true self and thus re-establishing the missing connection of the self with the supreme.
A Bonafide Lineage (Our Inspiration)
Mission to Educate, Inspire & Empower Humanity
The perfect process of receiving the knowledge of yoga & spirituality is through a bona fide disciplic succession (an authentic lineage). The Garga Samhita 10:61:23-26, states the four authentic sampradayas (lineage) through which the science of yoga has been taught to humanity.
Brahma Sampradaya (Madhvacharya), Shri Sampradaya (Ramanujacharya), Rudra Sampradaya (Vishnu swami), Kumar Sampradaya (Nimbarkacharya) .Govindam Yoga is part of the Brahma Madhva lineage, which extends back to about 200 BCE. We incorporate the teaching of Ashtanga yoga from T Krishnamacharya (who came in Shri Ramanuja Lineage) the guru of BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois, with Bhakti yoga from His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (coming in the Brahma Madhva lineage).
Bhakti yoga is where we try to change the conditionings of the mind. It is a process of inner transformation and inner purification, changing the complete personality, thinking patterns, lifestyle, intellect, emotions, feelings and social performance. To perfect Bhakti all these aspects have to come together. Its a process of moving away from an ignorant state of existence to a higher, purer state in Love of God.
HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C BHAKTIVEDANT SWAMI PRABHUPADA
Swami Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977), was an extraordinary personality who dedicated his life to educating and empowering humanity. Acting on the platform of his spiritual identity, he was able to produce phenomenal accomplishments and transform the consciousness of people only because he was in the highest state of self-realization and therefore divinely empowered. Such self-realized souls in the world are very rare.
