Memorable unique teaching style.
Nov 1, 2009.
Thank you to everyone for making my month long stay here so memorable .I love Ganga’s yoga classes, and her unique teaching style. Surya’s Prananyama classes have great value too. I will never forget my time here and many things I have learned I will miss all the family and beautiful scenery around here. I know from now on that my life will be more yoga fueled ever before!

An indelible and unexpected mark on heart
I came to Asia to learn yoga in an authentic way. What made the biggest impression on me is the full scope of yoga exercises that are practiced and taught by the staff at the Ananda Yoga Center. There is chanting, which left an indelible and unexpected mark on heart , Shatkarma, Asana, Pranayama and meditation. Yoga is not my entire life; it was easy to feel a solid type of happiness here, but the real test will be what aspects of this knowledge I will bring back home and practice in America. This truely was an authentic experience .Thanks to everyone –Guruji,Ganga,Surya and family.

My stay here at Ananda Yoga Center was most relaxing. So nice that I extended twice! I loved experiencing yoga in this way, as a way of life. I will definitely be incorporating many of the practices I learned here into my daily life and hope to pass to family and friends as well. Thank you for all the kindness and especially the most delicious food. I have thoroughly enjoyed my two and half weeks stay and like to return again someday.
And we did 108 times Sunsalutations!!Woohoo.

I was new to yoga so thought I would check out Ananda Yoga Center. I spent 10 days here and I definitely enjoyed my stay! I learned a ton about many different yoga practices (ones I did not even know existed!) and my time outside class was relaxing.
I am learning the center more calm, collected and flexible. I’m really happy I came.

SILENCE
The aim of life is silence. Silence is the language of God. Peace is silence. Silence is the language of the heart. Silence is the language of the wise. Silence is immense strength. Silence is great eloquence. Silence is power. Silence is a living force. Silence is the only reality. Behind all the noise and sound is silence, your innermost soul. Silence is intuitive experience. To go into silence is to become God. There is no healing balm better than silence for those who have a wounded heart from failures, disappointments and losses. The silence that you enjoy during deep sleep and the silence that you experience at the dead of night give the clue to the existence of that ocean of silence.
Speech is a strong weapon of maya to delude the individual and to distract the mind. Talkative people cannot enjoy peace of mind because the mind is always outgoing. Quarrels and disputes arise through the play or mischief of this turbulent sense. Words are like arrows. They injure the feelings of others. Speech is very mischievous, troublesome, turbulent and impetuous. It must be steadily and gradually controlled. When you begin to check it, it will try to rebound on you. Be courageous. Do not allow anything to come out from the mind through the organ of speech. If you observe mouna (silence), you have shut out a big source of disturbance. If speech is checked, the eyes and ears also can come easily under control. If you control speech, you have already controlled half of the mind.
Energy is wasted in idle talking and gossiping. Mouna conserves the energy and you can turn out more mental and physical work. You can do a lot of meditation. It has a marvelous soothing influence on the brain and nerves. The energy of speech is slowly transmuted or sublimated into ojas shakti or spiritual energy. Mouna develops the will, curbs the impulse of speech and gives peace of mind. Mouna is a great help in observing truth and controlling anger. Emotions are controlled and irritability vanishes. When one is ailing, observing mouna will give great peace of mind. One who observes silence possesses peace, strength and happiness. In silence, there is wisdom, freedom, poise, joy and bliss.
Purify the mind and meditate. Be still, and know that you are God. Calm the mind. Silence the bubbling thoughts and surging emotions. Plunge deep into the innermost recess of your heart and enjoy the magnanimous silence. Mysterious is this silence. Enter into the silence. Know that silence. Become silence itself.
