Life...Yoga & Accupressure....Manas Maral

Mission Yoga

The world is running fast and time devoted to self has reduced. In today’s fast paced world there’s little time to get into recreational activities. Gone are the days when regular exercises and grandma’s advises were considered over doctors’ treatment. Office timings have changed from 9am-5 pm to 9pm-5am. Twenty-four-hours seem just too less.
With today’s hectic lifestyle come depression, stress and what have you. And some people, mainly youngsters are resorting to different means of relieving stress by taking solace in drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
But then, there are some people who believe in curing and helping others through the ‘magic’ of Yoga.
Swami Ramdev has taken the world by storm by giving live examples of what Yoga can do to cure diseases. And Manas Maral, a senior executive at a software firm in Bangalore and disciple of the renowned yogic, has pledged to preach the benefits of the ancient Indian art by holding Yoga camps for better health care and cure.
34-year-old Manas believes in Yoga and Acupressure to fight all ailments and stay fit. “Yoga and Acupressure are known to cure people of the worst diseases and problems,” he says.
So how did he begin with Yoga? “It was my wife’s prolonged illness that made me realise the benefits of Yoga. I learned it and later taught her Pranayam. To my surprise she was fit in a week’s time.” Since then there was no looking back for Manas.
He started his yogic journey in February 2004, teaching a small group of people at his house in Koramangala, Bangalore. His first big Yoga teaching session was in August 2004 in his office Tavant Technology with 55 people.
Taking out time from his busy professional schedule, Manas has conducted about 110 Yoga camps in and around Bangalore, training more than 7000 people and curing nearly 500 patients suffering from thyroid, diabetes, blood pressure, tuberculosis, arthritis and kidney problems.
However, the journey of this software engineer has not been easy. The Yoga programs of Swami Ramdev were not so popular in Bangalore due to the language barrier. Manas, who hails from north India, solved the language problem by learning Kannada.
He started with a small Yoga camp and interacted regularly with other Yoga trainers and attended the shivirs of Swami Ramdev to keep himself updated with the latest treatments. Today, people swear by his Yoga remedies. Biggest supporter in his undulating endeavor is his wife Shalini, a homemaker, who also helps him in his yogic mission.
He has recently started a small care centre in Bangalore where he admits patients needing immediate treatment.
Manas has always dreamt of building a healthy nation by including Yoga in all schools. His dream came true when one of the schools in Bangalore inducted Yoga in its timetable where even parents can join the students. Since then, the school has reported a remarkable fall in sick leave by students.
Manas works for 18 hours a day and still remains fresh, ‘the credit goes to Yoga’, he says. Many institutions and corporate houses like ISRO, Tavant Technologies, Lucent, HP, Mu-Sigma call him for lectures on Yoga. He also conducts regular classes for the Police Training Department.
Manas has plans of opening a bigger care centre to treat the patients of cancer, diabetes, thyroid etc. “All the rich people have the advantage of using money to their advantage. I want to treat people free of cost, especially the weaker section who cannot afford to buy medicines,” he concludes.
