☆ A Return Gift of Everlasting Cheer to the Society ☆

My journey of Laughter Yoga (LY) has been a very fulfilling and satisfying one. I feel blessed to practice LY almost daily with a large number of people and bring joy to their lives. I express my sincere gratitude to Dr Madan Kataria and Madhuri Kataria who have imparted this divine life skill by which I can touch human lives instantly, anywhere and at any time.

I have been closely studying Positive Psychology and Authentic Happiness for a long time and believe that doing something worthwhile and meaningful for your fellow beings and intimate social interactions with those around you alone brings true happiness. LY is the best tool to achieve this. We can have warm relationships with people and also bring unlimited joy in their lives.

I always wanted to give back something to the great institution where I have been working for more than thirty-one years. I also wished I could inculcate positive values in school children and bring smiles on the faces of the sick and old people. The society has given me so much and I wanted to give a return gift of everlasting cheer to its people. LY has equipped and enabled me to do that on a continuous basis, each and every day of my life.

I was a shy kid and a studious student. I always wanted to sing, dance, play and laugh freely in groups. Now, I can do that and also make others experience joy by doing that.

I have formed a social group Laughter Yoga @ Indore comprising of LY lovers and professionals in Indore, India. Our mission is to propagate LY in and around our town for health, wellness, joy and peace. We wish to take it to the schools, colleges, workplaces, communities, hospitals, clubs, gyms, slums, old age homes, orphanages and even prisons.

We run two regular laughter clubs here. Suniket Laughter Club meets every Sunday morning for LY exercises at the Shrinagar Extension Public Park, Indore. In addition, my wife, Radhika, who is also a CLYT, holds Ladies’ Laughter Kitty every Saturday evening at the Community Hall of Suniket Apartments, Shrinagar Extension, Khajarana Road, Indore.

Laughter Club of State Bank Learning Centre, Indore was formally launched on the 13th September 2010 at the State Bank Learning Centre, Manik Bagh Road, Indore. It is a unique laughter club. Every week, new trainees come to the centre for learning. They join the club, leave by the week-end and spread laughter back at their homes. Next week, another set of new participants join, and so on..

I first saw Dr K and Madhuri conducting a laughter session at the Lokhandwala Park, Mumbai, India more than a decade ago and feel overwhelmed to conduct laughter sessions with my wife Radhika at Indore. It has transformed our lives totally. Our joy knew no bounds when Dr K remarked recently, “You are doing a wonderful job. I am proud of Radhika and you!”

श्रीमद् भगवत गीता

पद्यानुवाद – प्रो चित्र भूषण श्रीवास्तव ‘विदग्ध’

तृतीय अध्याय

(ज्ञानयोग और कर्मयोग के अनुसार अनासक्त भाव से नियत कर्म करने की श्रेष्ठता का निरूपण)

इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः ।

तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुंक्ते स्तेन एव सः ।।12।।

यज्ञ तृप्ति से देव दे तुमको वांछित दान

केवल खुद जो भोगता वह है चोर समान।।12।।

भावार्थ : यज्ञ द्वारा बढ़ाए हुए देवता तुम लोगों को बिना माँगे ही इच्छित भोग निश्चय ही देते रहेंगे। इस प्रकार उन देवताओं द्वारा दिए हुए भोगों को जो पुरुष उनको बिना दिए स्वयं भोगता है, वह चोर ही है।।12।।

The gods, nourished by the sacrifice, will give you the desired objects. So, he who enjoys the objects given by the gods without offering (in return) to them, is verily a thief. ।।12।।

अमृत रसमय फळे चाखण्या नित्य देतसे वदनी।

सोनेरी तव किरण भास्करा शेत शिवारी डुलती।

पहाट वारा मना भुलवितो शीतल छाया  सदनी।

आनंदाची करण्या उधळण  चंद्र चांदणे जमती।

नयन रंम्य त्या सोनकिड्यांनी नयन मनोहर रजनी ।

निसर्गास या नकोस लावू नजर मानवा जहरी।

जीव चक्र हे अखंड फिरते वसुंधरेच्या भवनी ।

भू जल वायू टाळ प्रदूषण दान मागते धरणी।

स्वच्छंदाने खुशाल घेई  उंच भरारी गगनी।

☆ Laughter Yoga With Mentally Challenged Children ☆

The experience of Laughter Yoga with mentally challenged children at Rotary Paul Harris School, Indore, India has touched the core of our hearts and has given us the fulfillment of bringing cheer in the lives of sweet little kids.

While returning from my office one evening, I took a slightly different route to avoid heavy traffic. On the way, I discovered Rotary Paul Harris School for the mentally challenged children. Next day, I visited the school. There I met Rotarian Radheyshyam Maheshwari.

He told me that it is very challenging to provide education to children with mental challenge. In addition, they impart vocational training and training for the daily needs of the children. This requires a lot of patience and devotion because each child needs individual attention. They have 60 students but the average daily attendance is only 50-60 percent. These students are taken care by specially trained staff. They also engage them in sports, music and extra-curricular activities.

It was in the year 1964 that Rotary Club of Indore started this school. After passing through initial teething problems, the school is now on a better footing. It is one of the finest institutes of its type in the Malwa region of Central India.

I shared the concept of Laughter Yoga with him briefly. His response was very positive and we fixed a day and time for our first laughter session with the special kids. The kids responded to our first session with great enthusiasm and energy. We were taken by surprise by the positivity generated by the affirmation VeryGoodVeryGoodYay. They loved milkshake laughter, mobile laughter, argument laughter and hearty laughter. But we realized that they could not clap in rhythm, chant hohohahaha or follow the deep breathing exercises.

I had along discussion with my wife Radhika, who is also a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, in the matter. We decided to focus initially on simple clapping, VGVGY and the laughter exercises which the kids liked. Radhika worked hard with the kids on Tuesday mornings week after week and gradually the kids started picking up. A weekly session on Laughter Yoga was included in their time table. Mrs Neeti Billore, the Principal, and her team of Teachers were always with us during the sessions. On the occasion of New Year, we visited the school with members of Suniket Laughter Club, Indore and shared sweets with them.

The school authorities told us that they propose to showcase the progress in laughter sessions in front of the parents of the kids and members of Rotary Club during their Annual Day celebrations. The kids were all prepared for the event and laughed coherently to the surprise of all present. We felt satisfied as our efforts had borne fruits. Everyone could sense how close the kids felt to us. The effect of joy cocktail was more than evident on the faces of the kids.

On the annual day, we also conducted a laughter session for the families of Rotary Club members which was appreciated by one and all. Prior to that, we had given a presentation of Laughter Yoga in one of their club meetings. Looking to the good effect that laughter is having on the emotional well-being of the kids, we propose to continue with our sessions in the school. The warm welcome that is accorded to us by the kids every time we visit is too valuable for us to loose. We would like to continue to work with them to completely erase the mental and emotional scars and deprivation of their early childhood. It would be really fulfilling if their lives get the missing rhythm through hohohahaha and very good very good yay.

देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः ।

परस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परमवाप्स्यथ ।।11।।

देवो को संतोष दो,देव तुम्हें दें तृप्ति

पारस्परिक प्रभाव से मिले सभी संतुष्टि।।11।।

भावार्थ :  तुम लोग इस यज्ञ द्वारा देवताओं को उन्नत करो और वे देवता तुम लोगों को उन्नत करें। इस प्रकार निःस्वार्थ भाव से एक-दूसरे को उन्नत करते हुए तुम लोग परम कल्याण को प्राप्त हो जाओगे।।11।।

With this do ye nourish the gods, and may the gods nourish you; thus nourishing one another, ye shall attain to the highest good. ।।11।।

☆ ज़िन्दगी… एक किताब ☆

ज़िन्दगी एक किताब है

और समय परिवर्तनशील

पल-पल रंग बदलता

आग़ाह करता व संदेश देता

बुरे समय में मत थामो

निराशा का दामन

न ही बंद करो आंखें

बगुले की मानिंद

किताब का अगला पन्ना खोलो

पढ़ो और नए अध्याय की

शुरुआत करो

विपत्ति में मत छोड़ो

धैर्य व साहस का आंचल

अनवरत संघर्षरत रहो

यही जीवन में सफलता पाने का

सर्वोत्तम साधन

मत भूलो!

समय,सत्ता,धन, शरीर नश्वर हैं

नहीं साथ देते किसी का उम्रभर

सांसों की भांति घटते जाते

हर दिन,हर पल

अच्छा स्वभाव व सद्व्यवहार

ईमानदारी और समझदारी

जीवन को समुन्नत करते

अध्यात्म की राह पर

निरंतर चलना सिखलाते

आजीवन हमसफ़र बन

साथ निभाते

विश्वास करो स्वयं पर

यही जीवन में

सामंजस्यता व समरसता लाते

अलौकिक आनंद बरसाते

☆ गोष्ट…..! ☆

माझा बाप

माझ्या लेकरांना मांडीवर घेऊन

गावकडच्या शेतातल्या खूप गोष्टी सांगतो..

तेव्हा माझी लेकरं

माझ्या बापाकड हट्ट करतात

राजा राणीची नाहीतर परीची

गोष्ट सांगा म्हणून तेव्हा..

बाप माझ्याकडं आणि मी बापाकड

एकटक पहात राहतो

मला…

कळत नाही लेकरांना

कसं सांगाव

की राजा राणीची आणि परीची

गोष्ट सांगायला

माझ्या बापान कधी अशी स्वप्न

पाहिलीच नाहीत..,

त्यान..

स्वप्न पाहिली ती फक्त..

शेतातल्या मातीची आणि

पेरणीनंतरच्या पावसाची..,

त्याच्या लेखी

नांगर म्हणजेच राजा

अन् माती म्हणजेच राणी

अन् मातीत डोलणारी पिक म्हणजेच

त्यान जिवापाड जपलेली परी…,
