125-year-old yoga practitioner, Swami Sivananda, was awarded Padma Shri Monday(21/03/2022), for his contribution to the field of Yoga.


Sivananda is perhaps the oldest Padma award winner in the history of the countrya and is described as ‘Yog Sevak’, who continues to serve all around him, despite his humble origins.

He has been practising and teaching yoga at Kashi’s ghats for over three decades.


When Swami Sivanand's name was announced for Padma Shri. The nation was moved by the humility of this Mahayogi. Most saw a 125 year old man in kurta and dhoti. People saw a really enlightened Yogaguru



Besides his disciplined yoga routine, Padma Shri awardee Swami Sivananda's food habits are something that we all should take note of. Most of them are not easy to follow, but it's something that has given the Yoga guru a disease-free and tension-free life


Swami Sivananda said he eats very simple food that is oil-free and without spices. He prefers eating rice and boiled daal (lentil stew)


Yogic Gardening



By doing wrong actions, you taint your character. By doing virtuous actions, you develop a noble character. Without character, man falls down to the level of a brute.


A man of character is honoured, trusted and adored everywhere. Therefore, develop a good character when you are young. Learn how to eradicate vices and how to cultivate virtues in the garden of your heart. Vices and evil habits are the weeds.


Virtues are priceless fruits and flowers. Learn the Yogic method of Pratipaksha Bhavana or cultivation of the opposites. Purity or celibacy, forgiveness, generosity, humility and selflessness are the opposites of lust, anger, greed, pride and selfishness.


You can become a skilful Yogic gardener. Plant good flowers in the garden of your heart and enthrone the Lord in the centre of the heart-garden and meditate on Him. You will enjoy eternal bliss and immortality.

Greetings from: upscexperts@gmail.com  https://youtu.be/4Q_OmJaiaEc |Experts| |India| |ExpertsTalks| Today's GK question Date: 03-03-2022 Question: On which date did Graham Bell used phone for first time ? * Answer:* 10th March, 1876 Explanation: Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone made the first call on March 10, 1876, to his assistant, Thomas Watson: "Mr. Watson--come here--I want to see you." An Enthusiastic Story The Scottish-born Bell had a lifelong interest in the nature of sound. He was born into a family of speech instructors, and his mother and his wife both had hearing impairments. While ostensibly working in 1875 on a device to send multiple telegraph signals over the same wire by using harmonics, he heard a twang. That led him to investigate whether his electrical apparatus could be used to transmit the sound of a human voice. Bell's journal, now at the Library of Congress, contains the following entry for March 10, 1876: "I then shouted
