In the 23rd episode of his instagram-based chat show, Stories of Hope, Daniel Weber invited actor Bijay Anand, who is known for his performances in films, OTT shows and TV.
Bijay was invited as a guest on the show for the work he does in the space of Kundalini Yoga and Ayurveda. He has been actively working in this space for over a decade now and has passed on the teachings to his students across the world.
“I used to travel to a new country every month, sometimes up to 6-8 even, to teach Kundalini Yoga before COVID struck.
The break from my hectic travels during the pandemic made me realise that I needed to have my own centre where my students from around the world could ‘come home’ to.
I found this place in the hills, two hours from Mumbai. It’s a healing centre that I will be expanding to accommodate at least 400-500 people over the next few years,” says Bijay.
Initially sceptic about teaching online, he has now moved his classes online 11 months ago, thanks to a session he did for a yoga festival being held in Czech Republic.
He adds, “Kundalini Yoga is a science that heals your soul and makes your aura strong and powerful.
Since I began teaching these courses at the very beginning of the Covid pandemic, people wanted to know how to prevent and heal oneself from the dreaded virus.
As a science, Aturveda is more a preventive wisdom than curative.
It teaches you to lead a life where you build a robust health system.
Spirituality speaking, if you followed the rules of optimum health and are disciplined about your exercise and diet, if you still get COVID it just means that you were karmically meant to experience it.
I haven’t taken any allopathy for the last 8 years because I believe that the body is designed to heal itself. People are dying of COVID because their immunity has broken down.
Make sure you make your body alkaline, and devoid of inflammation, be disciplined about sleeping and waking up and eat well.”
Daniel, who collaborated with Bijay on Sunny Leone’s biographical webseries, says, “I’ve known Bijay to be an extremely disciplined man. He’s also extremely fit, something that personally resonates with me because I am very particular about what I put into my body. It turned out to be an enlightening session.”
