  About the subject and my interest in the field. My Subject is YOGA. It is universal subject people from all walks of life need to learn YOGA TECHNIQUES and practice throughout their lives for better physical, mental, emotional, ethical, professional, social & spiritual health and be happy & peaceful unconditionally.
  
  For the past 28 years, I met different people and learned much while teaching YOGA (free classes, no charge) to several thousand heterogenic groups. In the process, I got good health, energy, happiness, and satisfaction of life time achievement by God'grace and it is great pleasure for me to see my students spreading yoga further. All this further motivates me to continue forever. I could learn how the Universe responds/ supports our genuine efforts in imparting this knowledge to many.

  If everybody practice yoga as per Maharshi Pathanjali terms( i e Deergakala, Nairantharya, Satkara seventh- means a long period, regularly, with love and affection ) society becomes healthy & happy, a lot of Govt. spending on health can be saved, and diverted for other product development works.

• Do you have an anecdote to tell us about your student or professional life?

  One of my students working in the erstwhile Corporation Bank was very adamant and avoided attending yoga classes. Whenever he saw me, was trying to avoid me from a distance as I will force him to practice yoga.
  Subsequently, some change in his mind made him complete his MSc in yoga, try for Ph.D., done many therapy courses. Totally involved in yoga. Another lady student started SPYSS (Refe item no:2) branches in Mumbai ( First time in Maharashtra) and many other places.
