Ananda Mayi Devi Dasi, a professional yoga teacher, takes every opportunity to preach the message of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math through discourse, kirttan and prasadam distribution. She writes on some of her activities:
"In September last year I started giving astanga yoga classes two times a week in the main hospital in Coimbra and also in the main maternity hospital and children's hospital. My students were mostly specialists. I received good reactions....
"In June I started teaching yoga to children on Saturday mornings in a yoga centre. In the first few classes I was already talking about the Gita and we were chanting, accompanied with karatals and a mrdanga. The children were very enthusiastic and they had a lot of questions. The classes of one hour passed by very fast. In September I am continuing with them and hopefully a lot more will come. I hope I can show them their relationship with the Supreme and the beautiful, divine life-path which is always open for them.... In this way all seven days of the week I was giving classes; in total fifteen classes of one hour spread out over Coimbra...." |
