[Reader-list] BOYCOTT SECTARIAN AGENDAS

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Murali
 
This is the first time I have heard Gayatri Mantra being touted as a 'breathing exercise'. Could you please elaborate on that?
 
If you were to speak about the benefits of Pranayamic exercises (especially Ujjayi Pranayam), that would make some sense. But Gayatri Mantra as a 'breathing exercise'????
 
While on this topic, why not introduce Vuzoo and Namaaz too into your proposed regime?
 
Vuzoo is an excellent habit for maintaining basic cleanliness and Namaaz entails a set of postures in which (fascinatingly) you can see a digest of various Yogic Aasanas.

Dear Anupam,
Dear Anupam,

The issue of uniformity has still not been addressed. A burkha clad girl in
a school cannot be questioned and if done, the media and the entire
pseudo-seculars go all out to  call it hindu fanaticism.

Atma or the soul, life after death and re-birth are concepts which is their
in most faiths. Moreover the Gaytri mantra is also a breathing exercise as
the stanzas repeated in its correct form has set timings to control breath.
