Course in Yogic Studies - Four Months
The four month course in Yogic Studies is conducted twice a year, once
in English medium and once in Hindi medium. BYB seeks to admit a diversity
of students with a broad range of interests and backgrounds.
Combining academic studies with the gurukul lifestyle and discipline can
be challenging and all aspirants must be prepared for this approach to yogic
studies. The gurukul disciplines are designed to create an atmosphere in
which the yogic spirit can be experienced at a subtle level. Alongside yogic
education, the spirit of seva (selfless service), samarpan (dedication)
and karuna (compassion) will be imbibed by the students.
Course overview
A residential course to provide basic training in the practical and theoretical aspects of yoga and ashram
life based on the ancient gurukul system. Upon completion of the course, a Certificate in Yogic Studies is
awarded to those who are successful in the written and practical examinations.
What is seva yoga?
Seva is serving others and helping others with compassion, serving
not for personal gratification but to uplift others. Seva is an offering.
When an action contains your best thoughts and feelings, your love and
affection, sympathy and compassion, and when it uplifts others, that is
seva. Seva is serving others with compassion and with the best you can
give. In the course of time, seva becomes a way of life. Living for others
becomes a way of life, not living for oneself.
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
