Mandakini Trivedi

Ananda Yoga: Conversations on Happiness with Swami Shri Harish Madhukar (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Born in Jadla, Nava shaher district, Punjab, Swami Shri Harish Madhukars persona was that of a light hearted fakir. Interactions with him were punctuated with exclamations like be happy, be joyful.
His approach to spirituality can best be summed up as Ananda Yoga or Integrated happiness. It offers an opportunity for long term happiness, a happiness without side effects and withot violence to ones self or others, a win win situation of peace, joy and bounty. Ananda Yoga does not require any earth shaking doing but only a simple undoing. It offers a joy that is not couched in formidable practices but in simple acts of love and awareness.
His method of teaching was a simple sharing through conversations, chatting and joking. This book is compilation of those simple dialogues with disciples, which arose in the course of day to day events.

Autorenporträt

Mandakini Trivedi is the lineage bearer of Swami Shri Harish Madhukar'ssampradaya. Swamiji initiated her into many spiritual practices of the Sri Vidya path, as she lived and learnt from him. But it was his philosophy of Ananda Yoga or Integrated Happiness, which merged spirituality seamlessly with life - that had the greatest influence on her life and art.

The teaching method of Swamiji, or Babaji as he was lovingly known, could neither be called a 'method', nor could it be called 'teaching'. He lived the teaching and the disciple learnt through direct experience & perception. Mandakini had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with The Master - travelling with him, reading with him, spending time at the ashram with him, watching his interactions with ordinary people, observing him go about routine chores in the most extraordinary ways, both cheerfully & mindfully. Each of these was a powerful learning experience that groomed her.

A dancer by profession, Mandakini found her true understanding of classical Indian Dance only after meeting Babaji. He seemed to embody all that was described in texts on Indian aesthetics, as the essence & purpose of the arts - JOY!

Spirituality & Art have come a full circle, becoming one with her persona. It is only due to the grace of Babaji, that Mandakini has been able to do pioneering work in the field of The Yoga of Indian Dance. She passes on this understanding to the next generation at the Nateshvari Dance Gurukul.

She has also authored 'The Yoga Of Indian Dance' & 'Sutras On Dance' to express her insights on the element of sadhana, in classical Indian Dance. In 2016, she was awarded the SangeetNatakAkademi Award for her work in MohiniAttam.

Before Babahi shed his mortal form, he founded the ShaktiygashramaGurukul, appointing Mandakini as its chairperson. Under Mandakini's guidance, the ashram conducts residential programmes that integrate Spirituality, Ecology, Art, Wellness& Holistic Lifestyles to express the common thread of Yoga that runs through them. The ashram is also involved in rural, educational programmes.

Mandakini's life is devoted to fulfilling her gurus work & vision in the field of spirituality, art and education.
