SIDH presents workshop on YOGIC SWAR SADHANA (YSS)

Duration: 3 days


When: Friday 10th June to Sunday 12th June 2011


Where: SIDH Learning Resource Centre, LRC, Lower Campus, Kempty, 
Mussoorie ( See note below on
reaching SIDH-LRC)


Facilitator: Sardar Brij Inder Singh Monga


Participation Fee: `4000/- per person including meals and accommodation


Yogic Swar Sadhana is a unique new concept in Vocal Classical Music, in 
which while doing the Swar Abhyas (i.e., practicing Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha 
Nee) one is also concentrating on many Pranayam Kriyas like:

a. Three octaves (Mandra, Madhya and Taar saptak),
b. The seven main Chakras and the three Nadi’s i.e., the Surya Nadi, 
Chandra and Sushma Nadi,
present inside our body.
c. Five Prana Vayus and many Kumbha Kriyas


Yogic Sur Sadhna is a form of yogic practice where while one is 
practicing one’s swaras, one is
effectively stimulating the relative Chakras. Each swar has a 
particular frequency and vibration and
so does each Chakra. Hence, when the frequency of the swar and Chakra 
are matched together, they
resonate with each other. In this way Chakras are strengthened and 
reactivated with the help of the
swar’s frequency. The reactivation of the Chakra energizes that area of 
the body and brain in which
the Chakra has its field. Reactivating all the seven Chakras located at 
different parts of the body
reactivates the entire body of an individual. The Nadi starts 
functioning wholly and the blockades in
the body are removed, hence allowing energy to pass through the entire 
body up to the brain,
stimulating the mental system too. This practice helps in purifying the 
physical, mental and spiritual
level of an individual, thus helping one to achieve great height in 
one’s personal life.


Yogic Sangeet Sadhana programme was presented daily on Sadhana T.V. 
Channel for three months
 from 18th July 2008 to 20th October 2008. A workshop was conducted in 
SIDH in July 2009. The
participants were from different vocations, some trained and others 
having an interest in music.
Within two days, they were all singing in unison. The teachers of Sidh 
schools, who were given two
orientations sessions, were singing melodiously. Many of them had not 
believed till then that they
could sing.


So come, learn and enjoy music the way it is meant to be and be 
healthy, in the lap of nature.


About the facilitator: Sardar Brij Inder Singh Monga, a renowned 
Professor of Indian Classical
Music (Vocal) has spent almost 4 decades, teaching Hindustani Classical 
Music and also has good
knowledge of Yoga (Pranayam) and is a doctorate in Naturopathy. He has 
interlinked all the systems
to develop this new system of Yogic Sur Sadhana through his own 
research. He did his M.A. (Vocal
Music) from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi.

INFORMATION ON HOW TO REACH SIDH


Delhi to Dehradun


Train information from Delhi to Dehradun:
Dehradun is the last station where trains arrive before one starts 
climbing up into the mountains. There are four trains from Delhi to 
reach Dehradun, which are recommended:


1. MUSSOORIE EXPRESS (Train No: 4041): Leaving Old Delhi Railway 
Station at around 9.30 PM (Please
confirm this again, as the schedule keeps changing) and reaching 
Dehradun at about 8 the next morning. This
train has (non AC) sleeper coaches as well as all classes (III tier, II 
tier and 1st Class) of AC coaches. The
same train is also good for going back. Leaves Dehradun at 9.15 PM to 
reach Old Delhi Railway Station at
about 7.30 in the morning the next day.


2. SHATABDI EXPRESS (Train No: 2017): Leaves New Delhi Railway Station 
(Ajmeri Gate side of the
station) at 06.55 Hrs (please confirm current schedule) and reaches 
Dehradun Railway Station at 12.45 Hrs.
The same train leaves Dehradun at 17.00 Hrs to reach New Delhi at 22.45 
Hrs. It has ordinary AC and
Executive class coaches. Both are chair cars and both are AC.


3. JAN SHATABDI (Train No: 2055): This train leaves New Delhi Station 
at 15.25 Hrs to reach Dehradun at
21.10 Hrs. On return journey it leaves Dehradun at 05.00 Hrs to reach 
New Delhi at 11.00 Hrs. It is not
advisable to take this train while coming to Kempty or returning to 
Delhi from Kempty, as travelling at night
to Kempty or leaving early morning from Kempty is difficult with 
minimal transport available.


4. NIZAMMUDIN DEHRADUN SPECIAL (Train No: 2017A): From New Delhi at 
23.30 Hrs reaching
Dehradun early morning at 5.45 Hrs. This train has only AC compartments 
ranging from 3-tier to first AC. If
you take this train, on reaching Dehradun Railway Station you can rush 
to the Mussoorie Bus Stand (located
right next to Dehradun Railway Station) to catch a direct bus to Kempty 
(leaves at 6 or 6.30 am depending on
the number of passengers. Ask someone at bus stand to direct you to the 
right bus).


Bus information from Delhi to Dehradun:
There are other good options to come to Dehradun from Delhi. There are 
buses every half an hour or so from
ISBT (Kashmere Gate). Deluxe buses leave from 6 am or so till 11.30 pm 
from ISBT. Though there are very
few deluxe buses running in the afternoon. State transport buses leave 
every half hour, practically all day long.
The night buses take about 6 hours to reach Dehradun. The buses that 
leave during the day usually take a little
longer. Volvo buses are fewer and leave either early morning or at 
night. Bus prices range from `170.00 to
`350.00 depending on the kind of bus you take. Delhi ISBT number for 
Uttaranchal buses: 011-23868951.
For return journey from Dehradun to Delhi you can catch a bus from the 
Old ISBT Stand (within Dehradun) or
 from the New ISBT Stand (in Majra, outskirts of Dehradun). There are 
buses running all day but buses are
more frequent in the early morning and night hours.


Dehradun to Kempty


Travel options from Dehradun to Mussoorie or Kempty:


If you arrive by bus, the bus will drop you off at the New ISBT Bus 
Stand of Dehradun. This is located in
Majra (outskirts of Dehradun). From here, you can either get a bus for 
Mussoorie or you can take an autorickshaw
(`80.00 to `100.00 approximately) or a blue-coloured three-wheeled 
'vikram' (shared auto,
`5.00 per passenger approximately) till the Mussoorie Bus Stand in 
Dehradun (next to the Railway Station).
You can also check with the bus driver when you arrive in Dehradun, if 
the bus can drop you near the Railway
Station. If you arrive by train then: Right next to the Dehradun 
Railway Station is the Mussoorie Bus Stand
and Taxi Stand. From there one can take a bus or taxi (individual or 
shared) or jeep (shared) to Mussoorie.
Some taxi drivers might be willing to take you directly till SIDH 
campus (Kempty) as well. Ensure that you
take the transport to the Library Side (also called Gandhi Chowk) of 
Mussoorie and NOT the 'Picture
Palace' side. Once you reach the Library side of Mussoorie, take a bus 
or individual taxi or shared jeep to
Kempty village (2 km. before Kempty Falls). If you are taking the bus, 
get off at Kempty village (You can
ask the conductor to let you know as and when the stop for Kempty 
village comes.) and ask anyone where
SIDH school campus (Bodhshala/Bodhigram Malla) is and walk till there. 
(SIDH has two campuses.
Bodhigram Malla (upper campus), where we have the school and Bodhigram 
Talla (lower campus) where we
have the workshops and our main office. Both the campuses are only a 
kilometer apart. The upper campus is
closer to the Kempty village market, so please reach the upper campus.) 
It's a short walk (10-15 minutes). In
case you need to go to the new campus/Learning Resource Centre (LRC) 
then, from the Bodhshala campus,
one of the SIDH members will direct you to the Learning Resource Center 
(Bodhigram Talla -1 km down hill
walk). That would be the easiest and fastest way to get till the new 
campus if you are on foot. If you are taking
a taxi till SIDH campus, they will be able to drop you till the school 
itself or the LRC. Just ensure that when
you reach Kempty village, you look out for boards to guide you to the 
SIDH LRC/Bodhshala. If you are going
to the Bodhshala campus, take that road up which is a slightly narrow 
road, hence only taxis or mini buses can
go up that road. If you are going to the LRC campus, go straight on the 
main road and follow the road signs
for LRC (which is at least 2 kms from the Kempty market and takes 
approximately 10-15 minutes to reach
 from the market). There is a toll barrier that you will cross at 
Kempty, just let the person know that you are
coming to SIDH and you don't need to pay the toll. Alternatively, there 
is also a direct bus to Kempty from
Dehradun. The bus leaves from Mussoorie Bus Stand located next to the 
Dehradun train station. There are
very few direct buses. One bus leaves at 5.30 AM from the Bus Stand. 
There might be one or two more after
that around 7-7:30 AM most probably.


Important:


If you reach Dehradun at night after 8.00 pm it is unlikely that you'll 
find a bus. In that case you will have to
take a taxi or stay the night in Dehradun. Please consult with SIDH 
coordinators before planning your trip
especially if you will be arriving late at night in Dehradun.


Distance and Traveling Time:
Mussoorie is 33 kms from Dehradun, and it takes between 1-1.5 hours to 
reach from Dehradun to Mussoorie.
Kempty is 12 kms from Mussoorie, and it takes around half an hour to 
cover that distance.


Cost of Travel from Dehradun to Kempty:

The cost of a bus from Dehradun to Mussoorie is `50/- approximately. 
The cost of a bus from Dehradun to
Kempty is `75/- approximately. The cost of a shared jeep from Dehradun 
to Mussoorie is `70/- per person
and the cost of a shared jeep from Mussoorie to Kempty is `35/- per 
person approximately. The cost of a taxi
 from Dehradun to Mussoorie is between `700-800/- approximately. The 
cost of a taxi from Mussoorie to
Kempty is between `450-600/-. The cost of a taxi from Dehradun to 
Kempty is anywhere between `1200-
1400/-. Bargain for a good price with the taxi driver.
