A ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of a yoga center and its inauguration as an ashram in Ptuj.
"Yoga in Daily Life is the authentic school of yoga from India. We, the teachers... carry this out as our mission. We do this voluntarily; we do not make a business of yoga."
"Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul. Two very important things to know are yoga and Āyurveda."
A representative of the yoga center opens by recounting its 25-year history of community service. Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) then delivers the main address, blessing the new ashram. He speaks on the ancient origins and holistic benefits of yoga and Ayurveda, sharing the story of Hanuman from the Ramayana to illustrate a point. The Indian Ambassador and local officials also offer congratulations. The event includes a mantra chanting and the presentation of a Shiva Lingam to the center.
