Dear Editor,

The city of Guwahati sees innumerable religious programs being organized the year
round. From 8th to 11th October at the Gaushala in Guwahati, the “Know Yourself”
program organized under the auspices of the Bihar School of Yoga was the ideal one,
the likes of which has never been seen in Guwahati before and I doubt will ever be
seen in the future either.

The Paramacharya of the Bihar School of Yoga, Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, kept
giving people something throughout the program while not taking anything from them.
In such a huge program there was no show and pomp, no posturing or posing – just
the simple propagation of yoga. There was neither entry fee nor any donation
receipts. Each participant of every session received attractive T-shirts,
angavastras, rudraksha malas or Shiva-Shakti yantras as they left the program. On
the last day, while leaving the program, each and every participant was gifted
invaluable, informative books on behalf of the Bihar School of Yoga.
