Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF), Chinmaya International Foundation Shodha Sansthan (CIFSS) and Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) have embarked upon celebrating the International Yoga Day by conducting a three-day national level conference from 30 June to 2 July 2023.
This conference Yoga as An Embodied Culture of Bharata endeavours to present Yoga as subsumed in various cultural, religious and social practices in India. Both the classical and the folk (tribal) forms of art such as dance, music, painting, sculpture, martial arts, etc. exhibit various facets of Yoga. Religious practices such as pilgrimage, observation of vows, community-oriented festivals, etc. also incorporate the mental and physical practices of Yoga. Simple daily practices like prayerful attitude in all activities (karāgre vasate lakṣmī, etc.), how food is cooked, served and eaten, how one takes a bath, how one decorates the courtyard with rangoli/kollams, etc. depict that the very social life of an Indian is ingrained in the foundation of Yoga.
The conference strives to throw light upon the contribution of Yoga towards various such socio-cultural and religious practices in India.
Papers will be presented by students, scholars, artists, yoga practitioners on the following themes:
● Yoga in Music
● Yoga in Dance
● Yoga in Martial Arts
● Yoga in Other Practices
Each paper presentation: 10 minutes
