YUJ: The Yoga & wellness society of Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College was officially established on 21st June 2022, on the occasion of 8th International Day of Yoga. The Motto of this society is “Yoga for Ultimate Joy”, which means only a healthy body and healthy mind can be joyful and this can be achieved with yoga. As Srimad Bhagwad Geeta quotes, “योग: कर्मसु कौशलम्” and Sage Patanjali said, “ योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः” The society aims to spread awareness about yoga, meditation and healthy living. YUJ collaborated with NGO Art of Living, as per UGC guidelines and organized events under Har Ghar Dhyan initiative to make it a part of life. The society is bound to make mental and physical health a priority. Over past one year, the society has organized several online and offline events which includes yoga camps, Naturopathy camps, talks by experts, meditation workshops etc. Yoga is the core medicine for happiness and peace. And who needs more peace than the students of present times, who are intrigued by the aspirations of their parents, desires of their souls and determination of their minds, all this at such a young age when innumerable biological activities are going on inside their body and mind. In the atmosphere of confusion and aridity, yoga is the need of hour and last weapon for humankind to make the future generations bloom unprecedentedly. We are the first one to come up with a separate society for yoga and wellness in the University of Delhi.
Our journey started with a two-day online yoga camp from 28-29 May 2022 followed by month long celebrations of International Day of Yoga under the convenorship of Dr. Neeta Azad (Certified Yoga Teacher and Evaluator, Ministry of Ayush, Govt. of India). This society makes sure to promote peace and joy amongst the students to make them capable of surfing on the tides of life. With the intension of “ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् । ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥” we work for the well-being of the entire society.
