Udupi, Sep 26: “Yoga is very important for one’s life,” said Sri Vidyadeesha Theerta Swamiji of Palimaru Math at the inaugural function of World Heart Day celebrations on September 22 at Rajangana.
The programme was organised by Adarsha Hospital under the aegis of Poorna Prajna College, Udupi.
A procession was carried out as part of World Heart Day celebration with the theme ‘Nimma Nade Hrudayada Kadege (your walk towards heart)’.
Palimaru Swamiji addressing the gathering said, “Human body is an asset. It is a gift of god. We must keep our health in good condition, which is worth crores of asset. Creating awareness about sound health must start from childhood.”
Sri Ishapriya Swamiji, junior swamiji of Admar Math said, “During ancient period, human led an eco-friendly and systematic life, but now his health has suffered due to anti-nature life style. This has created anxiety and mental pressure leading to cardiac problems. If a person has good thoughts, work and creativity, his life’s value will increase and there will be no complaint of sickness.”
G N Chandrashekhar, medical director of Adasha Hospital said, “Urbanisation and today’s modern life style leads to disease. Due to this, about 50% of people are getting Cardiac problems. Pressure in daily life, fatty food, and habit of tasty junk food are the reasons for overweight. This is how people become victims of heart diseases.”

Yoga was performed by students with music being played in the background.
