Was at the studios of All India Radio to address listeners on the topic- “Yoga, the Journey within”
Having been an artiste on AIR on several occasions as a teenager, the visit evoked nostalgia. Decades ago, before TV, long before news became entertainment, when IT still meant Income Tax, Radio ruled the waves. That was the time when dinner was not served till the head of family had listened to the 9 o'clock on All India Radio. At fixed times listeners dropped everything else to listen to it, and not the present-day 24-hour onslaught of choice where all media say the same thing. The radio today is a symbol perhaps of what we have lost — a shared sense of community.
Here is wishing that IYD opens new vistas to Yoga practitioners to strive further, go beyond asanas and postures to embrace the higher dimension of Supreme Yoga.
