Gifts to mankind!

Yoga is a physical, mental, and soulful discipline that promotes good health through breathing control, meditation, physical postures or asanas. Widely practised for over five millennia, Yoga promotes holistic development of the body, mind, and spirit; enhancing our senses, increasing flexibility, and achieving deep relaxation.

Yoga shows us a way of mindful living aimed at a healthy mind housed in a healthy body. June 21st 2021 marked the 7th International Yoga Day with an apt theme - “Yoga for well-being” coinciding with World Music Day.

Music is another important aspect of everyone’s lives, bringing about relaxation and promoting well-being. Let us celebrate everyday with increased awareness of and mindfulness towards these great gifts to mankind!

World Oceans Day

#WorldOceansDay 2021 - June 8th

The theme for this year - 'The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods' says a lot about the idea of marking this international day.

Covering over 70% of the Earth, our oceans are a life source for all organisms. It is a main source of #biodiversity, #Food and even #employment. But as with all things #nature, we are depleting resources at an alarming rate, more than can be replenished and hence the need to start preserving and protecting our oceans. The world population needs to unite on this call for #sustainable management of the #oceans, strengthen international cooperation, and develop #research and #Technologies to attain this goal.

I leave you with a #poem written last year by my then eight year old daughter, capturing the essence and beauty of the lives in the ocean.

Under the Sea

Hello, come with me

Take a dive under the sea.

Before we go, Gather your gear

What’s your favourite fish? Mine is the seer!

Look, a jiggly jelly fish!

Heads up! That mackerel made a big swish.

Oysters can…... open and shut,

And that pile of seaweed looks just like a hut!

Dive in and make a big splash,

But be extra careful not to crash!

Dive in and make a big splash,

But be extra careful not to crash!

Now we’re down in the heart of the sea

Look! That eel is covered lots in Algae.

But that’s not just any old eel,

It’s an electric eel, if you dare to feel!

That leopard shark is a pro at swimming.

And that brown sea lion, is back flipping!

Bye Bye sea, Bye Bye sea creatures,

We absolutely loved your fun features.

Dive in and make a big splash,

But be extra careful not to crash!

Dive in and make a big splash,

But be extra careful not to crash!
