GARUDA CENTER PROJECT
om tat purushaaya vidmahee suvarna pakshaaya dhiimahi
tan noo garudaf praccxoodayaat
/vedic mantra – Vishnu sahasranama stotram/
We are trying to comprehend the Being with the golden wings
let the Garuda inspire our minds !
The reason of our activities and of the project Garuda center is primarily the pleasure of body movement. :-)
The combination of practical self-defence, martial-healt practise of cchi-kung and tai-chi (taiji…) and ancient way of hatha-yoga is for me the heart and crown of whole body practise and my realization after more than 10 years of practise.
Átharvana Yoga not only as health practise but also as the harmony for mind and comprehension to the odlest yoga texts and wisdom of oldest sages. I added my long experience and modern medicine knowledge and also experience from other yoga schools (such as Maheshavarananda, Sivananda, Gitananda and other authorities.
But still yoga is primarilly inside practise …
And for that – for practise outside – I found the best – chineese cchi-kung and taiji practise tradicional Cchen Taiji cchuan practise by the master Zhu Tiancai – in case of Cchen family – the most ancient and the most dynamic from inner kung-fu styles. Very good for cultivation of subtile energies and principles of China medicine.
The practise of UMEI taijutsu is the ideal third activity because of its practical usage – the moto is: „To survive also in the worst situacion in your life“. So there is the potencional of this practise which is needed for our daily street challenge :-)
So by connecting of theese three activities becomes project „Garuda center“
- which serves as the manual for self-knowledge, healthy life and self-safeness.
I wish You the enthusiasm for your daily practise Garuda center coordinator
