Many people who want to meditate without practicing _ the _ postures find that they can not do it properly â€" without â€" experiâ€" encing the relaxation of the postures. Dadaji feels there are many benefits to meditation in our society. Over 200 women teachers, presidents of local women‘s teachers‘ associations throughout Ontario. met in Toronto Friday and Saturâ€" day to discuss future direcâ€" tions for the 33.000â€"memâ€" ber Federation of Women Teachers‘ _ Associations of Ontario. *A lot of people come to our classes without having any idea of practicing meditation but they gradualâ€" ly get into it he said. "The physical relaxation of the postures when you do them properly makes it nearly impossible not to begin meditating.~ "To achieve the maxiâ€" mum benefits of the yoga postures. it is also necesâ€" sary to practice meditaâ€" tion,"" he said. By John Leckie Although many people approach yoga with no thought of practicing mediâ€" tation, they soon find that the two are really inseparaâ€" ble said Acharya Sarit Kuâ€" mar, or Dadaji, one of the two Canadian teachers for Ananada Marga, an interâ€" national organization esâ€" tablished in India in 1956. Yoga, meditation are inseparable Ananda Marga teacher Dadajii Sarit Kumar (centre) believes meditation and yoga are inseparable. The Ananda Marga society is a world wide organization devoted to providing an alternative to the fast pace of society. The group also provides aid and assistance in times of crisis. He said that the reason for this was that meditation was more relaxing than a good deal of actual sleep. Although a person reâ€" mains conscious, the breathâ€" ing rate slows to a pace even slower than the normal rate for sleep, he said. Both yoga and meditaâ€" Emphasis throughout the conference was on the need for improved communicaâ€" tion at the local and provinâ€" cial levels, among various teacher groups,. between teacher groups and trustee groups, as well as between teachers and the Ministry of Education I only sleep about five hours a night and feel more rested." "I started to practice meditation when I was atâ€" tending university in the Phillipines," Dadaji said. ‘"At that time I was a typiâ€" cal university student needing at least nine or 10 hours sleep a night. Now One of the side benefits of meditation is that evenâ€" tuallyâ€"a person who is pracâ€" ticing it will require less sleep to be thoroughly rested. Mrs. Watson is chairman of the Board of Fanshawe College of Applied Arts and Technology and also presiâ€" dent of the Association of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology. The teachâ€" ers also heard from Mary Hesser of Fort Erie, provinâ€" cial president of the federaâ€" tion ‘*Meditation is very good to relieve the pressure that is present in our sociâ€" ety," he said. ‘"Many peoâ€" ple like to meditate when they get up in the morning so they start the day feelâ€" ing relaxed. If they mediâ€" tate at night before going to bed they will find they sleep a lot better because they lose the tensions: of the day as well.~ Since there are only two fullâ€"time teachers in the country, he has a large territory to cover. **Unfortunately there are a lot of people who have written books on yoga and on meditation who do not practice _ it _ themselves and are really just reâ€"writâ€" ing other books and not very well, either.~ Although the ability to do the _ postures _ develops gradually, Dadaji said most people are capable of doing some of the more advancâ€" ed postures after a month of steady practice. The organization has reâ€" lief teams working in many countries, often working in coordination with existing organizations such as the American Red Cross. They also have teams working in prisons and with a minâ€" ority â€" groups in â€" several countries. Ananda Marga teaches classes in both yoga and in meditation. ‘ Dadaji spends most of his time travelling to the Ananda Marga centres in Canada to give individual instruction to people who are ready to go on. Ananda Marga does not charge for either the yoga classes or for the meditaâ€" ‘‘Yoga can be taught in a class,"~ Dadji said, "but meditation requires indivâ€" idual instruction." ‘"Our organization stressâ€" es meditation, yoga and social service in the comâ€" munity,"" he said. ‘‘In order to pick it up properly, you have to be taught by someone who knows something â€" about it,". he said. "If you only pick up the postures from a book you won‘t get the proper length of time for them and probably won‘t get a completely balanced effect from them. Some of them relate very closely to others so they should be developed together." tion require personal inâ€" struction, according to Daâ€" daji.~ a se i 0 e 6 C006 e alalale aln als Once the priorities have been set, Hindle will deâ€" velop and initiate specific research _ projects, _ and will direct, monitor and assess the work of a staff of six to eight professional researchers working under him.
