                                                                                SURYASANA MOVEMENT

What is Suryasana Movement?

Suryasana Movement is a nation wide revolution to connect one's well being to the larger well being of our countr and mother nature. Conceptualized by Special IGP Maharashtra Police Shri Krishna Prakash ji and executed by The Yoga Institute, under the leadership of Director, Dr. Hansa Jayadeva Yogendra ji SM is an encompassing idea of '’well being in sync with nation and nature'. 

The relevance of SM has augmented in these testing Times of Pandemic, once again emphasising the need for sustainability. 

Where COVID has brought to surface the worst in form of increasing loss of lives, peaking poverty, heart rendering incidents of stranded migrants and incessant fear of '’WHO NEXT'’, everything is clouded by uncertainty and doubt. 

Thus, SM is an ode to the police men of Maharashtra police as an initiative to raise funds for the Maharashtra Police to help them with the procurement of vital, life-saving protective equipment required in their fight against Covid-19. 

Surya Namaskar is a powerful practice with numerous health benefits including physical, mental and spiritual wellness. This practice will help the people develop physical immunity to fight illnesses as well as have the mental strength to endure difficult circumstances. The SM also aims encourage each one of us to practice Surya Namaskar consistently through the course of this program so much so that it becomes an indispensable part of our daily routine 

The program was launched on the 6th Annual International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2020 and will be concluded on August 15, 2020. During these 8 weeks, people are encouraged to register for the movement by making a charitable donation for the benefit of the Maharashtra Police, while pledging to complete a fixed number of Surya Namaskar sequences and sharing them on social media. Your one pledge, determines the health of this nation- yours as its citizen and its policemen's through your donation. 

Why the Movement?

Maharashtra is amongst the states worst hit with COVID 19 cases.

Covid 19 has robbed us not just of our normalcy but hope as well. 

SM is the movement to bring back our hopes for a better tomorrow and at the same time work on increasing our preparedness in terms of our immunity. 

Surya Namaskar is a powerful practice with numerous health benefits including physical, mental and spiritual wellness. This practice will help the people develop physical immunity to fight illnesses as well as have the mental strength to endure difficult circumstances. Lockdowns have brought our mental struggles to light and more so the need to inculcate mindfulness in our routines Till date, 72 policemen have already lost their lives to Covid in the Maharashtra force while thousands more have contracted the virus. This is due to the lack of proper protective gear and timely identification of the disease. Even then Maharashtra Police has been bravely fighting at the frontlines, trying to keep us safe and sheltered and protect our nation. Their call of duty is protecting their country and their countrymen, SM is our way of showing we care, for the men in uniform who are as prone to the virus as everyone else but full of courage and bravery. 

The funds contributed by the citizens will help the Police acquire pre-emptive health monitoring band (covid meter). At the same time, people will get to learn about the basics of yoga from the oldest yoga center of the world – The Yoga Institute. The Yoga Institute (TYI) was established in 1918 by founder Pujya Shri Yogendra ji, who is also known as the Father of Modern Yoga Renaissance. For nearly 102 years, the Institute has been serving the society through the medium of Yoga to build a healthy and happy world. TYI is part of this initiative with the sole objective of sharing the gift of good health – with our Covid heroes and with the ordinary people.
