Following is an excerpt from a report in Pioneer.

The Kalinga Stadium Yoga Kendra, which was started here at the instance of Swami Ramdev, celebrated its second anniversary on Saturday.

… Yoga, which has taken its birth in India, has now become popular worldwide encompassing all regions and religions.

Yoga guru Sudhansu Adhikari said that in the yoga centre people not only get relief from diseases but also learn the art of living in peace and harmony in society. In the coming days, he hoped, the yoga activities would not be limited to the posh areas of the city but would be extended even to the slums. Many chronic diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes, insomnia and obesity are cured through yoga.

The kendra members narrated the benefits they have derived from practising yoga.
