30 videos • 242 views • by michaelpatrickmoran - MUSIC, YOGA, BROADBAND A quick update for my channel is that I am creating a second playlist for Bharat and Meeta that presents those videos focused mainly on Hatha Yoga Asanas or Postures. So if your main interest is a video to use for expert level instruction in the Sivananda style of Hatha Yoga, please refer to The Asana Series playlist. For a more complete discussion of yoga philosophy, meditation, and Hindu theology, as well as the Asana training, please review this playlist. Bharat discussed the creation of his television program in his book "Yoga for Health Happiness and Liberation". During his morning meditation in front Master Swami Sivananda he received the message to go on television and spread the Master's teachings. Bharat overcame his misgivings about not being qualified to present such a show, and reached out to the local cable company (noted as Channel28) to discuss the show. With support from a local Indian food vendor and the Sivananda Center, Bharat was able to launch his show. The show was called "Yoga for Health, Happiness and Liberation". Bharat teaches in the Sivananda Tradition of Yoga that traces its lineage back to Swami Sivananda Saraswati (aka Master Swami Sivananda) of Rishikesh India. Master Sivananda's emissary to America and the west was Guru H.H. Swami Vishnu Devananda Maharaj; Bharat states "everything I know about Yoga is through his grace", and refers to him as "Swamiji". Swamiji was Bharat's guru as he developed his yoga practice.
