Stage set to initiate 10k into yoga
Enclosure spanning 30,000 sqmt to offer comfort, hygiene and ambience
Preparations have begun at Bandra-Kurla Complex for a big yoga programme next weekend when guru Jaggi Vasudev will initiate around 10,000 people into a yogic technique devised by him.
Workers are building a giant enclosure spanning 30,000 square feet for the programme which will begin on December 16 at 6.30pm. After concluding for the day at 9.30pm, it will continue on Saturday and Sunday between 8.30am and 7pm.
A long ramp that will connect the stage to the back of the enclosure will allow the guru to get closer to his followers as he initiates them into Shambhavi Mahamudra, a combination of chanting, yoga and breathing exercise which is also called 'Inner Engineering' or 'Isha Kriya'.
Jaggi Vasudev, fondly called Sadguru, heads Isha Foundation which is based at the Velliangiri Hills near Coimbatore. He has spoken at global meets like the World Economic Forum. He now has followers across the world.
Apart from promoting ancient techniques of yoga, the foundation also runs educational services through its arm Isha Vidya and an environmental programme called Project Green Hands which has planted and cares for millions of trees.
This is the biggest Isha Foundation programme in Mumbai.
To take care of the over 10,000 yoga initiates and 1,000 volunteers, the organisation has set up a massive kitchen at the rear of the enclosure that supply vegetarian meals to two dining areas. There will also be 300 chemical toilets.
"There is no compromise on the care given to participants. We are concerned about comfort, hygiene and ambience," said a volunteer of the programme.
