About Pracheen Yoga
Yoga is a timeless practice that transcends boundaries of religion, gender, age, race, and class. Originating in India thousands of years ago, yoga is not just an exercise but a profound connection of mind and body. It is said that yoga was discovered by ancient sages through their meditation, embodying a deep knowledge that has been passed down through generations.
Though often associated with Hinduism, it is important to note that Hinduism, or Sanatan Dharma, is more a way of life than a conventional religion. It has no single founder or central authority but encompasses a vast and ancient tradition of wisdom. Yoga, as part of this tradition, represents a powerful means of achieving harmony and understanding within ourselves.
So, what is yoga? At its core, yoga means union with the universe. According to Sanatan Dharma, the universe resides within us, and yoga facilitates the union of our individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. This practice fosters a harmonious balance between mind and body and helps us attune to the natural world. Through yoga, we gain insight into the language of nature and our place within it, enhancing our connection to the world around us.
The Organic Yoga
As time progresses, everything evolves, often bringing positive change to society. However, evolution can also lead us away from our roots. Yoga, a practice deeply rooted in ancient tradition, has undergone various modifications over the years. These changes, aimed at making yoga more engaging and accessible, have also led to its commercialization. In Western culture, yoga has evolved into a more casual and entertaining form, sometimes at the expense of its original depth and intensity.
To address this shift and honor the traditional essence of yoga, "Pracheen Yoga" was introduced. Pracheen Yoga seeks to restore and preserve the authentic, unaltered form of yoga, bringing back its original principles and practices. This approach aims to reconnect practitioners with the true spirit and depth of yoga, as it was originally intended.
International Yoga Day
Since 2015, International Yoga Day has been celebrated worldwide on June 21st. In a momentous address to the United Nations General Assembly, the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, urged the global community to embrace this day dedicated to the ancient practice of yoga.
The Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy (AYUSH) plays a pivotal role in the research and development of these profound ancient Indian practices. The ministry focuses on promoting health and wellness, ensuring that the rich traditions of Ayurveda and yoga continue to benefit people around the world.
The Founder and the Firm!
Sir Vikash Singh Rajput, the founder of Pracheen Yoga, has dedicated his life to the pursuit of sports, meditation, yoga, and fitness. His insatiable curiosity and passion for learning have shaped his remarkable journey. In his early years, Vikash sir excelled in sports, with cricket being his favorite. As a talented cricketer, he won numerous medals, prizes, and certificates. His achievements were frequently highlighted in newspapers. He was associated with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and participated in state board tournaments both nationally and internationally.
Alongside his cricketing career, Vikash sir developed a keen interest in yoga. He attended several Shivirs organized by Patanjali Yoga under the guidance of Swami Ramdev Ji, a renowned proponent of yoga and Ayurveda. This marked the beginning of his profound journey into fitness and wellness. Yoga, with its limitless depth, fueled Vikash sir's hunger for continuous learning and personal growth.
In his quest for inner peace and tranquility, Vikash sir discovered Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand Ji, a spiritual leader and the founder of ShivYog. Dr. Shivanand Ji, known as the father of Indian Healing, teaches the path to becoming one with the universe. Vikash sir attended numerous ShivYog Shivirs, where he learned the importance of Sadhana (spiritual practice), Seva (selfless service), and Sankirtan (devotional chanting). He mastered deep meditation techniques such as Sambhavi and Srividya and explored the science of chakras, mantras, and yantras.
Vikash sir has committed himself to living a balanced and positive life, deeply studying texts like Durga Saptashati, engaging in Swadhyay (self-study), chantings, and understanding the science behind spirituality. His journey is a testament to his dedication to fitness, wellness, and spiritual growth.
Vikash sir completed his 12th in Science and graduated with a B.Com (Hons.) from Kolkata. After years of playing cricket, he moved to Lucknow with his family to further his research and practice in yoga and meditation. During this knowledge-gathering journey, he learned various physical exercises from different experts and acquired extensive knowledge of martial arts.
In 2017, Vikash sir launched his first venture into organic farming under the name Amritasya, achieving significant success. He also started a Gaushala, one of his dream projects for seva (selfless service), under the same startup. In 2019, on Kisan Samman Diwas, his startup received the certificate of 2nd Best Gaushala in Ayodhya district from the Honorable Member of Parliament, Shri Lallu Singh Ji.
His part-time hobby is playing the flute, though he modestly claims not to be very good at it. He also learned cooking and baking from one of the best chefs in Lucknow, Chef Alka Singh Tomar, at her cooking institute, Alka's Master Cooking Classes. He pursued cooking to gain the knowledge necessary to provide professional diet plans.
After acquiring deep knowledge from various experts, Vikash sir embarked on a journey to learn yoga from professionals. He is now a qualified and certified National Yoga Instructor from YogKulam, having completed a one-year PG Diploma in Yoga Teaching. He also completed a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course from Rudra Yogpeeth, Rishikesh, affiliated with Yoga Alliance (RYT-500).
In 2022, Vikash Sir chose yoga as his profession and founded Pracheen Yoga with the vision of providing the most organic form of yoga and meditation services. He also earned the title of Kids Yoga Teacher after completing a 95-hour Kids Yoga Teacher Training from RFM Academy, New Delhi, in December 2022.
