Yoga
One day, Swami Vishnu-devananda had a vision while meditating at the Yoga Retreat in Nassau. He ’saw” people running in terror from a giant ball of fire. Although he could not immediately understand this awesome vision, he knew from past experience that whatever he saw in the form of revelation would eventually materialise. For this reason he founded the T.W.O (True World Order), which aims at promoting world peace and understanding. He felt the need to train the future leaders and responsible citizens of the world in yogic disciplines. True brotherhood and peace can exist only when there are strong, self-controlled leaders and responsible citizens of the world in yogic disciplines. True brotherhood and peace can exist only when there are strong, self-controlled leaders who possess an inner awareness of peace. If there is no inner peace within the individuals of a society, there cannot be external peace. For this reason Swamiji began the Sivananda Yoga Teachers’ Training Course (in 1969). Hopefully, each person who is trained will, in turn, teach it to others.
