President, World Community Service Centre
From the President’s desk :
Yoga has a history of more than 5000 years. Yoga is a holistic approach for physical,mental and spiritual health. But due to various reasons in the recent ast, humanity had failed to understand its values and has receded to the background. Due to the great eifort of Indian Brime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, UNO declared June 21 as International Yoga Day (IYO) to brin to international focus the important role Yoga can play in bringing about a positive transformation in the troubled world.
In the year 2015, tho first year Of the Yoga Day celebration, the World Community Service Center put up a great show in Chennai with Tamil Nadu Governor Sri Rosaiyah as Chief Guest. From then on, every year, in all District Capitals of Tamil Nadu and in many Educational Institutions, International Yoga Day is being celebrated in a befitting manner.
I wish to hightlight that much before all these, Vethathiri Maharishi had the vision that Yoga is the best way to bring about peace, health, happiness and pros fulfilling this vision, he founded the World Community Service Centre in the year 1958 . He introduced the system of Simplified kundalini Yoga which encompasses profound theory and simple yet effective practices for the wellbeing of the physical body, mind and life energy. The introspection praciices coupled with meditation have the power to totally eliminate the negative Karmas. But the greatest gift of the system is to bring the highest wisdom, Brahma Gnanam, to the common man and transform his personality thus paving the way for a total and lasting transformation of the whole world.
We have our Centres in 23 Countries and we have more than 15,000 Masters across the globe doing selfless service. More than 50 lakh people have benefited from the system so far.
Another landmark of our Organization is the contribution to the Youth and children of the country through introduction of Yoga for Human Excellence courses in Schools and Colleges as a part of the general curriculum and also as courses leading to Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate, Post Graduate, M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees through Distance Learningmode. About 1,50,000 students have benefited so far.
We are glad to announce, on this International Yoga Day, the starting of online classes for Foundation, Certificate and Diploma courses, in order to further expand our services across the world. Today we are releasing a promotional Video on that. To start with, the courses Will be conducted in English and Tamil throughout the world. I am sure that, through these online courses, we will be able to reach out to all corners of the world in a very big way.
With best wishes
