How relationship issues and concerns are tackled through holisticyog concept?
Career, relationship and health; these three aspects are very important issues in students, middle aged and old aged lives respectively. Over the journey of life, we develop various relationship especially parent-child (batsalya), friend-friend (sakhya), master-servent (dasya), husband-wife (madhur) and God/ Guru- disciple (shanta) etc.. All these relations experiences dualistic doldrums’ like-dislike, love-hate, expression-depression, ego flash-ego clash, self-interest and social interest and so on more or less time to time.
Whole humanity is guided by cultural conditioning, values or moral principles while maintaining various relationship in social fabric. Stress and strain in various aforesaid relationship is sharply visible in modern age living. Combined family life is broken into small family, live in relationship, single parent child etc. and earlier culture has replaced as self/nuclear family centered living. Rate of divorce, violence in relationships, dissatisfaction, psycho-emotional illnesses is on the alarming rise.
Holisticyog/ holisticliving concept encourages application of holistic approach to deal with these difficulties. Generally, we are so delicately identified with visible body and mind as ‘I’ or ‘me’ that we are unconscious or oblivious about our spiritual entity/reality/identity. When we start living with an awareness of material and spiritual aspects together i.e. science and spirituality, self and society, peace and prosperity; in a balanced way then these issues and concerns of relationships can be effectively dealt with.
Every kind of relationships need love, joy and freedom to flourish but mind and its vrittis i.e ahankar-akankha-asakti-agnanata (ego-expectation-attachment-ignorance) as far as ‘self-interest’ and ‘survival is the fittest’ is concerned poses serious threat to experience or apply these attributes/values in behavior. When we ourselves are slave of our own mental vrittis especially from negative ones, then higher spiritual values cannot spring forth from within to cut the thread of its slavery.
Thus, unless we are aware of our spiritual nature along with material/physical one, suffering cannot be addressed successfully/ permanently. Holistic yog program is devised in such a manner that body-mind-soul as a whole is taken care of through psycho-physical exercises, asanas, pranayamas, meditation, conscious relaxation and transmission. A lots of discussion, clarification is included in the program to nurture holistic concept/ dharna while balancing theory and practice to achieve best result.
Everyone wants to be happy but most of the relationships are not doing well because of misunderstanding or ignorance about the conditioning that, happiness or peace can be obtained only from objective world or by changing others. Whereas, primarily it is the subjective matter and one has to transform from within by bringing a balance between both objective and subjective phenomena.
Thus, holistic yog program is devised in such a way that both subjective and objective approaches are incorporated in the day to day lifestyle of an individual in applying the principles of holistic living and various relationships are nurtured in more effective means. And individual life and social life coexist together happily and harmoniously.
