The group yoga has stopped since the government has made self isolation mandatory for us, but we have tided over the adversities by continuing to implement yoga and meditation routinely within the confines of our homes. Yoga is a way of life for many elderly citizens like me, and that has made us mentally and physically resilient during these unprecedented times.<\/p>\n<p>There has been no proven cure for the Coronavirus, scientifically known as COVID-19 and with no vaccine to prevent the disease, what can we, the senior citizens, the vulnerable lot do to save ourselves?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2836\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2836 \" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Yoga1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Yoga1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Yoga1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Yoga1-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Yoga1-640x853.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rathin Bhattacharya, the 91-year-old Yogi in the Sarvangasana pose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">I feel that the most consequential step for us is to be mentally positive at this point. I for one, have no negative reaction towards the outbreak of the epidemic around me. I firmly believe that this is nature&#8217;s way of detoxing every couple of decades, making us slow down, breathe and rejuvenate. Our creator, the almighty, is the Universal power. His energy touches us even before we are born and after we die. Our bodies die, but not our souls.<\/p>\n<p>This body is the temple of the soul. It should be taken care of and kept in good condition if we want to lead a happy life. The mind is the expression of the soul and so it too should be purified.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga is the way to inner awakening for the realisation of soul in us which gives immense pleasure and contentment. Soul and God is synonymous in one way.
