I am reading your publications on “Yoga & Spirituality” regularly.
It is my good luck that you have remembered me & mailing your publications.
Thank U Sir, have blessings on me for all times to come.

You reflect the serinity of a saint and have a mass appeal for upright thinking.
Serving at this age when other people start seeking help, for the sick and needy is true service.
Sacrificing time, which otherwise was right of your family, can not be measured in earthly measures.
Great Going,

*Comment posted in Swadhyaya of Yoga
*After my involvement with yoga I could channelise my thought process in creativity to write my article Involvement with Dhrti Yoga published first in the Blog website of Dhrti Yoga on 5th March 2010.
*Excerpt from Effect of Yoga and Spirituality on Creativity
*When I felt that Yoga and Spirituality have become the way of my present life, I needed to express my creative thoughts in media independently as an author. To change my role from contributor to that of an authorI created my own blog yoganspirituality.wordpress.com titled Yoga and Spirituality |A way of life on 2nd May 2010.
*Excerpt from Effect of Yoga and Spirituality on Creativity
The article Lifetime Achievement in Social Service is the 25th article of my own blog site yoganspirituality.wordpress.com. On reaching the mile stone of quarter century publication, I thank all the esteemed readers and viewers of the blog for excellent statistics in viewership of Yoga and Spirituality.
It is a great pleasure on my part to inform the readers and viewers that the article Baba`s Udi authored by me has been published in Shri Sai Sumiran Times New Delhi; internationally circulated printed monthly magazine both in Hindi and English medium on Shirdi Sai; in its Year No.6 Month No.1 October 2010 issue in English Section.The same article captioned as Sai Baba`s Udi was first published on September 20, 2010 in Yoga and Spirituality.
Though I have not met Dr. Panda in person, I had been following him through his write-ups. I find them to be both informative and inspiring.
Most of people in the world are caught up in a rat race. As we live through, we gradually realize that this game of one-upmanship does not lead us anywhere. Rather we get drained out and exhausted in the process.
Yoga and Spirituality provide a way of better living. Many people think that these can be practiced only by hermits. I am sure, Dr. Panda’s experience illustrates that it can, indeed, be effectively synthesized into daily life. In that context, his writings are a great service to his readers.
Dear readers and viewers,
I have added the blog My world,my philosophyhttp://vinodvermah.wordpress.com in my blog writing in the role of a Comment Author.
Sir,
Sastanga Pranam.
Read your article today and became so astonished that after being a mastermind during the career of administration,you have jumped to the art of writing being a devotee of Shirdi Sai which is not an easier thing for the lay man.
May Shirdi Sai make your life with all happiness.
Respected Sir,
Plz take my regards.
It is a great pleasure for us to know that u have developed a great skill in the art of writing as well as in the practice of YOGA by which we r proud of reading ur articles from time to time on both of them .
It is a great pleasure on my part to inform the readers and viewers that the article How I became Sai Baba Devotee-Sai Devotee Dr.Mahesh has been published in Devotees Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba on November 13,2010.The same article captioned as How I became Sai Baba devotee was published on May 2,2010 in Yoga and Spirituality.
I became a Shirdi Sai devotee since October 14, 2008.
It is a matter of great pleassure to get in record as devotee of the God.
People will draw inspiration from the article and will be benefitted endlessly.
Since the legacy of Baba is immortal, so will the article and the writer.
Great acheivement.
Congratulations.
On reading the article Sai Darshan in Shirdi published on November 23,2010 in Yoga and Spirituality;M.S.Bhagwat in his mail sent to me has said:
Dear Dr.Maheshji,
It was really nice to read your article written by you on your Shirdi Darshan.
May saiji call you often to shirdi to have darshan.

Sir,
Namaskar.
You are residing in a place where we may not meet you physically.
But, Sir; it is the means i.e. your writings appear to us as if you are acting before us just you were in the days of your incumbency as CDMO Bargarh.
Day by day you are becoming more & more closer to us irrespective of the place of residing.
Your practice in the field of Yoga & devotion on Shirdi Sai has been dragging you to be more dedicated spiritually.
Whatever you have suffered by residing alone in the field of service at Bargarh,may God bless you to get more & more peace and happiness among the family members in the rest of life at Bangalore.
I am over joyed going through your article Lifetime Achievement in Social Service. Your effort to establish a college at Gaisilat in 1984 with help of other 12 persons is highly admirable. It has facilitated the college education up to degree stage of girls & wards of poor families of all castes &community.
Wish you a happy long social life.
With regards
M.K.Panda Principal I/C- cum-Secretary P.S.College Gaisilat Dist.Bargarh
I have the pleasure to inform the readers and viewers that my message relating to my efforts and contribution to establish Panchayat Samiti College Gaisilat in my native village Gaisilat in 1984 has been published in College Magazine ‘Madhukshyara’ released on event of College Annual Function held in January 2016 at Gaisilat Dist. Bargarh Odisha.
You may read my article Lifetime Achievement in Social Service published in Yoga and Spirituality on October 1, 2010 describing the event as my Lifetime Achievement in Social Service.
The effort to establish Panchayat Samiti College Gaisilat Dist. Bargarh at my home village in 1984 as Lifetime Achievement in Social Service reflects Self-realisation and Self-analysis of Karma, Jnana and Bhakti Yoga in Yoga and Spirituality as a way of life.
Review of Yoga and Spirituality:
In this old age, the way you are spending the time very much wisely with Lord Shirdi Sai, Yoga and Spirituality with writing of many good articles of your day to day experiences; are very much useful and learningful to all groups of the community including the elders, youngers and students.
I Pray GOD to keep up your interest, enthusiasm and the spirit for continuity of writing articles and sharing with many more for future guidance and support towards better and peaceful society.
VERY HAPPIEST, HEALTHIEST, PEACEFUL AND FRUITFUL NEW YEAR 2011.

Dear Panda Sir,
It’s a pleasure to hear that the article has been published in an international magazine.In today’s world it’s a good idea to advocate our culture and tradition digitally, by which it can reach each and every one faster. That’s called the best use of technology by a Sai Devotee.
Om Sai Ram
Respected Panda Sir,
Much pleasure to hear that the article has been published in an international platform.
Waiting to hear more like same.

It is since one year as an author, I have been writing articles posted in World Wide Web viewed by readers through internet.
It matters little how many articles I have so far posted; it matters how much I have contributed to the world of literature; it is up to the readers to evaluate.
Any creative activity is good and better than inactivity, destructive activity.
Old age is peculiar in that person has lot of personal experiences of a specific type of life lived.
Recording those lessons in some form, best in electronically available form to whole of world, is best way to pass it on to next generation.We owe a lot to our ancestors and it should be passed on to next generation multiplied many fold.
All literature carries value and benefits readers.
Well done
Dr. Panda.
Keep it up.
Love to Sara.
Incidentally, my son has joined PG in Paediatrics at B.J.Medical College Ahmedabad after first counselling. He is likely to shift to Rohtak (Haryana) in next counselling.Another welcome development was that I purchased a hospital plot (Multi-speciality center) auctioned by Haryana State urban development authority. Auction went significantly far more higher then expected.Last fortnight had been quite hectic in that context.
Satya,Director of dhrti yoga & administrator of dhrti.com in her mail sent to me has said:
Very Nice Doctor, Keep the spirits up!

The article Involvement with Dhrti Yoga was first published in Blog website of Dhrti Yoga on 5th March 2010.
I wish, your spirit in sharing your knowledge and experience continues for many years to come and enrich the world of spirituality.
It is my pleasure to inform Shirdi Sai devotees that due to grace of Sadguru;
Within one year I have been blessed to write and publish 14 articles on Sai Baba.
One year back, How I became Sai Baba devotee was first posted in Sai Shraddha on March 16, 2010.
It’s a great achievement, one might think quantitatively and say mere 14; rather I would say 14 quality articles of a true Sai Baba devotee.

Dear Panda Sir,
It’s a great pleasure to hear that the blog site can be viewed in Hindi as well as in other Foreign languages by using Google Translation Tool. It will amplify the readers worldwide, who don’t have the knowledge of English. Google Translate is a free statistical machine translation service provided by Google Inc.to translate a section of text, document or webpage into another language which was introduced in April 28, 2006 for the Arabic language.
It has its own limitations as it does not always deliver accurate translations. But let us hope that, it can help the readers to understand the general content of a foreign language text.
That’s why we can say that we are truly in WEB 2.0.
Dear Sir,
In pursuit of spiritual life is there no place for enjoying day to day worldly pleasures of family life and marital life! How does one balance the two?
Dear Kavita,
You may read my article Yama and Niyama in Yoga published in Yoga and Spirituality to understand how to balance worldly life and spiritual life.
Dear Kavita,
You may read my article Nishtha in Spirituality published in Yoga and Spirituality which can further enlighten about leading a spiritual life in worldly life.
I am very happy to know that our co-traveler in the huge spaceship Mother Earth Dr.Mahesh Chandra Panda with his professional scientific attitude is both a yoga practitioner and an earnest devotee of a well known Saint Sri Shirdi Sai Baba.
As a doctor he would like yoga to be practiced by every intelligent awakened person, as it has a healthy effect on, as he points out, musculo-skeletal, cardio-respiratory, neuro-muscular and glandular systems;( it helps check overactive or underactive adrenal,pituitary, thyroid and other glands); yoga is supposed to teach the best life-style, and thereby prevent and cure hypertension, diabetes, anxiety and depression. A sound body is essential for a sound mind, generally speaking. An unsound body cannot contain a sound mind: a muscular physique does not ensure an enviable mind and harmless nature. If character is gone everything is gone. Let human birth be justified by exploring all possibilities of a man’s– two resources, his body and his mind. The aim of yoga is nothing less than developing the personality of an individual to its utmost limit: let with sincerity or nisthaa, as Dr.Panda shows it, every awakened man puts forth efforts to realize his potentialities before he leaves his mortal body. Precious is his body–let him take care of all the four aspects of his health– physical, mental, social and spiritual.
The wise never repent: they take full responsibility of their own actions: they are meted out just reward and punishment by the all-merciful and all-knowing God. No one can hoodwink God,the Highest Principle. Be properly advised, and realize your soul to realize the Supreme Soul….Concentrate on perfecting yourself. Maintain your Hourly Diary, and your Yoga Saadhanaa Diary— That will be your best guide to Absolute Peace, that is Param Shaanti. (J.Dansana 10th August, 2011)
Respected Dear Yogacharya Prof.Jayadeb Dansana,
I am maintaining daily diary mentioning briefly the yoga and spiritual practices with duration devoted for the same.However, I will take initiative to maintain daily hourly diary as suggested by you.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr.Mahesh Chandra Panda

Finding a good vitamin is one of the vital factors to living a healthy life.For me, this vitamin i.e.Yoga and Spirituality has always proven to be the greatest.It just gives your body and mind what it needs and it doesn’t have all of those nasty side effects as all of the poorer ones.It’s also one of the least costly ones out there.

It is a great pleasure on my part to inform the readers and viewers that the article Shraddha and Saburi in Sai Spirituality – Sai Devotee Mahesh has been published in Devotees Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba on February 13,2012. The same article captioned as Shraddha and Saburi in Sai Spirituality was published on December 12, 2011 in Yoga and Spirituality.
Way back in March 2010, when I started writing article on Yoga posted in Yoga Website basing on my knowledge and practice as a Yoga Practitioner; hardly had I known that Yoga is as popular in the West as in the East.In course of time spanning almost 2 years, I had published a good number of articles on Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga. Frankly speaking, I was convinced about popularity of Yoga in the West, when Yoga Practitioners of the Western Countries took great interest in reading the posts published in my blog Yoga and Spirituality through World Wide Web and posted their comments on my articles on yoga. It is a great pleasure on my part to observe that the articles ‘Yoga for Arthritis of Elderly persons’ in Hatha Yoga and ‘Yama and Niyama in Yoga’ in Raja Yoga have earned so much popularity in the West that those articles are frequently viewed by the readers of various Western Countries in the translated versions from English to their national language.
I have the pleasure to inform the readers and viewers that the article ‘Ram Navami celebration in Sai Spirituality’ authored by me has been published in Shri Sai Sumiran Times New Delhi; internationally circulated printed monthly magazine both in Hindi and English medium on Shirdi Sai; in its Year No.7 Month No.7 April 2012 issue in English Section. The same article was published on April 12, 2011 in Yoga and Spirituality.
On 2nd Anniversary of my blog Yoga and Spirituality, I express my hearty thanks to my esteemed readers, viewers and comment authors for their continued and unending literary support.
Satya madam (Mrs Satvinder Ramana) is the Director of Dhrti Yoga Studio BTM 2nd Stage Bangalore. Her qualification is M.Sc. (Yoga) from SVYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) Yoga University Bangalore. She has more than 12 years of rich experience in yoga as trainer and consultant, and known for her innovative entrepreneurial skills as Yoga Director.
Vijaya madam (Mrs Vijaya Hariharan) was the Yoga Instructor for yoga classes of elderly persons in Dhrti Yoga Studio during the academic session 2009-2010. She is trained yoga instructor in YIC (Yoga Instructor Course) & trained yoga therapist from SVYASA Yoga University Bangalore.
After attending yoga classes meant for elderly persons for about 9 months in Dhrti Yoga Studio BTM 2nd Stage Bangalore under Qualified Director and Trained Yoga Instructor, I have developed ‘Concise Yoga Practice for Senior Citizens’ and practising the same since April 26, 2010 for more than 2 years as swadhyaya of yoga daily at home as a senior citizen.
I well remember, the 1st article of the blog Yoga and Spirituality and on Shirdi Sai Baba ‘How I became Sai Baba devotee’ was published on creation of the blog on May 2, 2010. The article Seemollanghan by Shirdi Sai Baba which is the 75th article of the blog Yoga and Spirituality and 25th article on Shirdi Sai Baba is definitely a milestone of the blog Yoga and Spirituality.
Om Sai Ram
Respected Dear Sir,
Your exemplary life-entry to domain of yoga as a senior citizen; that is too after retirement from Govt. Service as Chief District Medical Officer is an inspiration, reflection & encouraging adaptation to your co-brothers. Your step by step upright in yoga & spirituality fortifying enthusiasm & zeal in old age body and mind add vigour in your spirit to march like a young man what we see lacking in modern technocrats today. This is our fate of Indian culture. Whatever may be that, your deep foot-step in mantra yoga makes me magnetised.
I hope you to perceive more & more knowledge and experience in yoga practice to be able to preach the same to all concerned.
Thanking You,
Yours Divine Brother

I have been involved with Yoga and its practices since July 28, 2009.
The knowledge and experience that I have gained during the last 3 years as a yoga practitioner is:“Yogah chitta vritti nirodhah”.
Respected Sir,
Your auto-biography as a seeker & searcher in life in yoga & spirituality is befitting to all aspirants to manage life-style with person, place and time variation without mere sign of sorrow; because you have clearly depicted what you are practising and you have experienced in life. So if one will follow, learn, experience and practise the same; then definitely he will forget the hurdles of life and enjoy it.

I pay my homage to Sadguru Sai Baba on 4th Anniversary of my spiritual life as Shirdi Sai devotee since October 14, 2008.
O Samartha Sadguru Sainath:
Give me the strength to grow my compassion for the poor and needy;
Fulfill my life with generosity and spirituality to serve the mankind.
Respected Sir,
Whenever I come across your script in Yoga & Spirituality it imparts immense impact on me; and it always hammers my head and strikes my brain to sprout the intellect, invites mind and body to work co-jointly for intellect to make seat in heart for Atma. This is indwelling form of Paramatma though by pervading to infinity. So each individual is to realize the process of emancipation and destination of salvation. But it is not so easy when one catches the path, & goes against the law of Creation. As such everybody should be alert how to utilise time properly, zeal fully and joyfully to cast out the Atma to merge with Paramatma. This is called Divine Drama.
Thanking You,
Your Divine Brother

During 2008 and 2009, I developed Yoga and Spirituality as ways of my life. I created the blog Yoga and Spirituality in 2010, nurtured it in 2011 and got it established in World Wide Web in 2012. On New Year`s Day 2013, I resolve for rejuvenating my life by means of Yoga and Spirituality.
Respected Sir,
Today on my computer in internet when I searched your interest on Sai Baba`s philosophy, I found that really at the outset of your first visit to Shirdi; you have engulfed Sai Baba and perhaps may accommodate his philosophy till your last breath as shown by different literatures in your blog of Yoga & Spirituality. In fact blessed devotee can only accomplish this great task as he simply understands and feels omnipresence of Sai Baba & runs life smoothly. I am impressed a lot for your time-need contribution to wavering society especially to modern youth.
I sincerely hope and believe, Baba will shower his grace & blessing through your knocking sounds of key board transmitted in wave side while composing articles on ‘Sai Spirituality’.

I have the pleasure to inform the readers and viewers that the article captioned as ‘Yoga and Onion in Sai Spirituality’ authored by me has been published in Shri Sai Sumiran Times New Delhi; internationally circulated printed monthly magazine both in Hindi and English medium on Shirdi Sai; in its Year No.8 Month No.5 February 2013 issue in English Section. The same article captioned as ‘Yoga and Onion in Sai Spirituality’ was published on January 18, 2013 in Yoga and Spirituality.
It is 3 years back since March 5, 2010 I have been writing articles as an author posted in World Wide Web viewed by readers through internet. There had been a latent phase of about 2 years in my post retirement life as a Yoga practitioner and Shirdi Sai devotee to develop self-expression in writing about Yoga and Spirituality as it has been a time span of 5 years since I retired from the post of Chief District Medical Officer Bargarh Orissa on attaining the age of superannuation i.e. 60 years of age on February 29, 2008.
Since about 6 months back, I have been publishing day to day post in Health Magazine with my scientific knowledge of medical profession for health education and awareness to give something back in innovative and creative way as a senior citizen to the society of my native Sub-Division Padampur, district Bargarh and state Orissa; and my country India and World as a whole through internet in Facebook in addition to my own blog website of Yoga and Spirituality.
You may read my article and responses on Giving Back to Society as Senior Citizen to assess how far I have succeeded in giving back to society as a senior citizen as far as social obligation is concerned.
It has been 5 years of my Internet exposure as on April 15, 2013 since I created my ID in G mail on April 15, 2008 which is my first exposure to Internet. Now, Internet users can find my identity publicly as author of articles on Yoga and Spirituality while searching for my name and activities in Google search. I acquired the knowledge and skill of information technology at the age of sixty years plus for communicating my thoughts to like-minded people in writing in World Wide Web. After retirement, I sought for change of direction in my life style consequent upon change of place in settlement of my family and social life; and I developed Yoga and Spirituality as a way of life. I could not peruse hobbies like writing a blog or journal, learning a new art or technology or leading a spiritual life due to genuine lack of time during my public and professional life in medical and health service till my retirement from Government Service on February 29, 2008.
Respected Sir,
Thanks for successful completion of five years Internet exposure by which you could be able to show efficiency of dramatic change of way from professional life to spiritual life. You are definitely graced with blessing of Almighty. Let you be an example to all senior citizens and let them follow you and get learn how to manage time and be shared with happiness.

Subsequent upon my retirement as Chief District Medical Officer Bargarh Orissa during 2008 and 2009 I developed Yoga and Spirituality as ways of my life.

Yoga can be seen three ways: the modern way or holistic therapy for physical and mental problems; the upanishadic way, an intellectual, emotional and social technique for Self-realisation; the Siddha way or the means to attain supernatural powers.
I have the pleasure to inform the readers and viewers that the article captioned as ‘Shirdi Sai Baba Encouraging Good Thoughts to Fruition’ authored by me has been published in Shri Sai Sumiran Times New Delhi; internationally circulated printed monthly magazine both in Hindi and English medium on Shirdi Sai; in its Year No.9 Month No.7 April 2014 issue in English Section. The same article captioned as ‘Shirdi Sai Baba Encouraging Good Thoughts to Fruition’ was published on March 18, 2014 in Yoga and Spirituality.
It has been 5 years as on today July 28, 2014 to be a Yoga Practitioner. I joined the yoga sessions for elderly persons at Dhrti Yoga Studio BTM 2nd Stage Bangalore on July 28, 2009 when I had completed 61 years of my age and was running 62 years. Never before I was exposed to yoga practices till then in my life. I had the problems of old age diabetes and osteoarthritis at that time. After attending yoga classes meant for elderly persons for about 9 months in Dhrti Yoga Studio BTM 2nd Stage Bangalore under Qualified Director & Trained Yoga Instructor and attending monthly visitors program conducted for the visiting yoga practitioners at SVYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) Yoga University Bangalore, since April 26, 2010 I have been practicing Concise Yoga Practice for Senior Citizens for more than 4 years as Swadhyaya of Yoga daily at home. By the long term practice of yoga, my diabetic status is under control and I have improved much in flexibility of movements of knee joints & able to walk up to 2 K.M., sit in Sukhasana cross legged for about half an hour at a stretch and do bending exercises of back which I was not able to do before starting yoga practices.
Respected Sir,
Thanks for your uninterrupted intense learning of 5 years and putting the same yourself as swadhyaya of yoga, that has brought away you from all-pat hies, hallo, homeo etc. except sympathy that brings close to all geriatrics of world today as inspirer. Your process to remain disease free really imparts peace to mind and brings solace to soul. Is it not a practical yoga? Now everybody should think over himself and proceeds for same elixir. But never forget; that practice makes perfect, doing regularity brings discipline, dedication shows devotion, and last but not the least determination of learning germinates discrimination in intellect for safe life journey in the field of Yoga and Spirituality. So choose, enter and enjoy yourself.

Congrats for completing five years. Yoga is specially suitable for old age as it is comprehensive isometric exercise program along with stretch on ligaments. It is soft on cartilage of joints because of being devoid of strain of thrust of jumps. Since ligaments and fibers around joints become stiff, stretching helps to extend range of movements. Exercise helps in reduction of anti- insulin factors in muscles leading to better diabetic control. Spirituality helps in reducing anxiety helping further in diabetes.Consistency in exercise and writing helps others in motivation and increasing knowledge.
Well Done. Keep it up.
Deeply saddened to know about 96-year-old Yogacharya BKS Iyengar’s demise. I pay my homage to Late BKS Iyengar as Veteran Yoga Guru, Scholar & Stalwart who brought Yoga into the lives of many across the world. I have been inspired & much benefited by reading the books ‘Light on Yoga’ and ‘Light on Pranayama’ authored by BKS Iyengar as a yoga practitioner.
Since April 26, 2010 I took up Swadhyaya of Yoga in study and practice having experience of 9 months yoga practices in Dhrti Yoga studio BTM 2nd stage Bangalore with additional advantage of my medical background. I read the books ‘Light on Yoga’ and ‘Light on Pranayama’ authored by BKS Iyengar as part of my Swadhyaya of Yoga as referral books for yoga practice and drafting my articles on yoga published in my blog website of Yoga and Spirituality.
Dr Mahesh Chandra Panda !

UN declared 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga.’ It is very gladdening to note the fact that 177 nations across all continents came together & co-sponsored the resolution proposed by Sri Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India in UN General Assembly in September 2014.
Narendra Modi in his response has said:
Elated! Have no words to describe my joy on the @UN declaring 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga.’ I fully welcome the decision.
I profusely thank all 177 Nations across the world who co-sponsored the resolution to declare 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga.’
Countless people across the world made Yoga an integral part of their lives.Congrats to them!This will inspire many more people towards Yoga. Yoga has the power to bring the entire humankind together! It beautifully combines Gyan (knowledge), Karm (work) and Bhakti (devotion).
He further said:
Am seeing tremendous enthusiasm among all of you after the UN declared 21st June as ‘International Day of Yoga’. It is very gladdening.
The fact that 177 nations across all continents came together & co-sponsored the resolution shows the integrative power of Yoga.
I have been a practitioner of Yoga for years & you can’t believe the positive difference it has made in my life. Yoga is the anchor of my life. I urge all of you, especially the youth to take up Yoga & practice it diligently & regularly. It will truly transform your life as well.
Words of Wisdom on Yoga by Sri Narendra Modi…

Dear Mahesh,
Thanks for reminding of Yoga.
I am a lover of this science.
God bless u.
The Union of matter and spirit is Yoga. Prakruti or the world we see around us and Purusa; the seer or drasta in unison creates. The union of Prakruti and Purusa is yoga or samjoga.
The various aspects of yoga are yama (self-control), niyama or rules, asana or postures, prayanam or regulation of vital force, pratyahar or withdrawal of senses, dharana or concentration, dhyana or meditation and samadhi the end state of meditative stage.
Yoga removes abidya or ignorance and leads to chetana or the knowledge of Prakruti and Purusa.
The freedom I got from public and professional activities on my retirement from the post of Chief District Medical Officer Bargarh Orissa on February 29, 2008 for more than six years is disciplined by practicing Yoga and Spirituality in my post retirement life. You may read my article and responses on Going the Distance while Growing Old published in Yoga and Spirituality on March 1, 2014.

5 Years as Author in Website:
March 5, 2015
It has been 5 years since the article Involvement with Dhrti Yoga authored by me got published on March 5, 2010 in website of Dhrti Yoga as my humble beginning as author in World Wide Web. After my 7 articles got published in website of Dhrti Yoga, Sai Shraddha & MedTitans during March & April 2010 as author, I created my own blog website Yoga and Spirituality on May 2, 2010 & on creation of my own blog I published the 7 articles first posted in other websites as my intellectual property in website of Yoga and Spirituality followed by new articles subsequently. I have so far published 141 articles in blog website of Yoga and Spirituality till date during these 5 years in Bangalore, India.
You may read the article Involvement with Dhrti Yoga published in Yoga and Spirituality.
Well done ! Your selfless dedication for the wellness of society is commendable . May God grant you more strength and vigour to serve the society.
During 2008 and 2009, in my post retired life I developed Yoga and Spirituality as ways of my life as caterpillar and when I started writing articles and posted those in my blog Yoga and Spirituality https://yoganspirituality.wordpress.com/ for public view in 2010, I got my wings like butterfly.
International Day of Yoga 2015 is to be observed on June 21, 2015.
On the event of International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2015, an estimated 37,000 people took part in a yoga session at Rajpath New Delhi India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi too joined the people in doing yoga. The morning show of Yoga practices was done from 7 A.M. to 7.30 A.M. It was live telecast in Doordarshan TV. I did Swadhyaya of Yoga at Bangalore home while watching & following the programme.
Our Honourable Prime Minister is leading India in a tremendous way. Everyday seems to bring a new initiative from him. Visiting so many countries of world to strengthen relations of India with world has aroused a new vision world wide about India. Yoga as a holistic exercise, has also been given a boost throughout world. Population of world will benefit a lot from this momentum and it will bring a positive impact on health of people. If the movement is followed with proper zeal in coming years, it should generate dividends for the people of this country and world. I have all praise for our Prime Minister.
Great achievement for every Indian that Yoga is recognized internationally. P.M. Modi`s contribution is also a historical deed.

Thanks for referral. Yoga has found its deserved place as a comprehensive healthcare modality. It is a comprehensive exercise programme which can be tailored for every requirement. It increases elasticity of joint fibrous tissues and now almost all physiotherapy procedures have been extended in to Yogic exercises. Breathing and mental relaxation procedures add to its utility. Overall promoting yoga is a win-win situation for the world especially in this age devoid of physical work requisites. Love to Snigdha and good wishes for your health. Do take care of yourself.
Respected Sir,
I read your response on International Day of Yoga and can’t remain silence without regards and thanks to your spirit and thirst for yoga to spread world wide. Today I was also swayed on esteem performance of yoga by our beloved energetic modern maker honourable prime minister Mr MODI JI. Really his correct performance of yoga among the mass performance of yoga at Chandigarh will reflect worldwide and inspire to all viewers and observers at large to correct themselves and build sound human society as whole. Is it not an initiation of globalisation of one family! Definitely Vasudevam Bahutumekam diction will be re-established by India through Modi being inspired by Saints, monks and yogis.Let Presant Modi remain as present for world benevolent.

Happy Bahuda Yatra of Prabhu Jagannath. I have the pleasure to inform the readers and viewers of Yoga and Spirituality that the total views have exceeded the landmark of 1,00,000+ ( One Lakh+ ) views today on July 14, 2016 since the creation of my blog website Yoga and Spirituality on May 2, 2010.
Namaste Dr.Pandaji,
Your blog gives in-depth insight into Yoga& Spirituality & is ample proof that you live & breathe yogic philosophy at every step. I have also read the comments of some persons who had read your blog. As Mr.Qogq Kyfxnu,China says:”It was not in my ear you whispered, but into my heart.It was not for my body to build, but for my soul to grow”.
Dr.Pandaji,permit me to go one step further & add that it is not just for selfish interest that you are into Yoga & Spirituality, but it is also very much for spreading the awareness & help humanity in general to realise the purpose of living life in a better-channelised manner. May your selfless service spread far & wide.
Regarding great people first we come to know through articles written by them and speeches delivered by them or through media. Then afterwards if time permits and favours we can contact personally.But in my case, first I came to know the author as neighbour. Then gradually I came to know him as a retired official, doctor, C.D.M.O., Sai devotee, Yoga practitioner. Daily we met at the time of evening walk and had little discussion and understood his Divine qualities in him and simplicity. We became Facebook friends and then I when studied the articles written by him as author I was really amazed and then only realized his spiritual faith, valour and capabilities and many things I learnt from him within a short spell. Regarding the articles in his blog Yoga and Spirituality, each article represents one diamond in his crown as world wide recognized author.Thanks to the Divine for giving me opportunity to meet him in my career.
Shirdi Sai in BTM Layout Bangalore
Eight Years of Evolution of Sai-ism in Self: I worked as an honorary physician for a very brief period from August 19, 2008 to September 11, 2008 at Saikripa Hospital, Bargarh Orissa. The self-motivated volunteered honorary service to the distressed and needy patients in Saikripa Hospital Bargarh which gained momentum eight years back on August 19, 2008 initiated the spiritual inspiration of Sai Baba in me to become a Shirdi Sai Baba devotee on October 14, 2008 in my Spiritual Journey as Shirdi Sai devotee. Incidentally Foundation Day of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Anand Ashram, BTM Lay out Bangalore is observed on August 19th every year as it was founded seventeen years back on August 19, 1999.
Gr8 contribution to yourself by this Bhakti and devotion. Lord Sai Ram has helped you in your fight to problems, kept you at peace, helped you fight jaw cancer, taught consistency and developed your literary skills. Be Thankful to the Lord. Regards and Jai Sai Ram.

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect, people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more about Yoga and Spirituality. Thanks.

I have the pleasure to inform my readers & viewers that the following excerpt of Spiritual Journey as Shirdi Sai Devotee has been published on February 20, 2017 in Facebook page of Shirdi Sai Global Foundation.
After my retirement from the post of Chief District Medical Officer Bargarh Orissa in February 2008, I along with my wife settled to stay with my son working in Gurgaon, Haryana (N.C.R.Delhi).I served as an honorary physician in Saikripa Hospital Bargarh Orissa for a very brief period from August 19, 2008 to September 11, 2008. However due to my ill health in old age I came back to Gurgaon to stay with family. The honorary service at Saikripa Hospital initiated the spiritual inspiration of Sai Baba in me by the time I came back to Gurgaon. On returning to Gurgaon, I got attracted to see the Sai Baba T.V.serial in Hindi telecast daily in evening. One night I dreamt Sai Baba was calling me to meet him in Sai Dham somewhere nearby located. On October 14, 2008 I searched & located the nearby Sai Dham at Sohna Road Gurgaon within one KM distance from our residence. When I attended the evening arati at Sai Dham in the assembly of devotees enjoying the Sai nam and bhajan I accepted the discipleship of Sadguru Sai Baba. I deposited my Guru Dakhina as donation to the corpus fund of the trust managing Sai Dham, bought one photo of Sai Baba for Guru puja at home, audio cassettes of Sai Baba bhajan for listening and books depicting Sai Baba`s leela for reading and I became a Shirdi Sai devotee on October 14, 2008. It has been more than 8 years since I became Sai Baba devotee on October 14, 2008. During these years I had Darshan of Shirdi Sai Baba in Gurgaon Haryana (N.C.R. Delhi), Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Bargarh & Padampur Dist. Bargarh in Orissa, Shirdi Dist. Ahmednagar Maharashtra in India and New York, USA.

International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2017
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga since 2015. The International Day of Yoga aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga. The theme for the 2017 celebration, organized by the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, is ‘Yoga for Health.’ The theme highlights the fact that yoga can contribute in a holistic way to achieving equilibrium between mind and body. The organizers believe that this approach to health and well-being can make a direct and useful contribution to humankind’s quest to achieve sustainable development and move towards lifestyles that are in harmony with nature.
I reproduce a massage from honourable Prime Minister in an E book titled “Common -Yoga -Protocol” received by me today. “Yoga is an invaluable gift of ancient Indian tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health and well-being. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with ourselves, the world and Nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us to deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”
Respected Sir,
Your excerpt for International Day of Yoga is very inspiring and guide on the path of yoga to the readers.Really by the weapon like yoga, Bharat remains ever as world guide for every sphere of human development that make the human race brotherhood and shows path to fatherhood of God. As such man gets one tract out many to ascend on the stair case of liberation.Myself as an Indian I must salute to Indian seers and sages for exploration of eternal path to abode of God and I must thank with earnestness to our beloved Prime Minster for his incessant convince to United Nations/ WHO for declaration International Day of Yoga on the 21st June that to perform for upliftment of self and whole.
With regards and happiness

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Posted in News Feed in Website of Facebook & Bargarh, Budasambar groups comprising mostly Facebook users of Bargarh district Odisha on Grand Celebration of Vishwakarma Puja as Community Divine Festival in Odisha.
Vishwakarma Puja is celebrated to worship Vishwakarma, the divine architect. He is also called the divine engineer, the god of mechanics and architecture. It is celebrated generally on September 17 (Kanya Sankranti) .The festival is observed primarily in factories and industrial areas. As a mark of reverence he is worshipped not only by the engineering and architectural community, but also by all professionals like artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial and factory workers. Workers also pray for the smooth functioning of various machines. It is customary for craftsmen to worship their tools in His name. Special statues and pictures of Lord Vishwakarma are normally installed in every workplace and factory; and all workers gather in one common place and perform the Puja.
