BSF to replace physical training drills with yoga for its jawans, officers

[Star Wars]

I am not sure if they will be physically fit- but they sure will be relaxed.

Its just replacing the morning PT session with Yoga, everything else remains the same... I am pretty sure guys in BSF dop physical training more than 45 minutes a day...

Thanks for clearing things up for me on Hinduism, I do find the stories rather interesting even if I don't personally believe in them. As for your statement on Jainism and Buddhism, I agree.

All religions are full of stories for e.g rouhani taqat in battle of badr or gabriel coming on earth to pass on Gods message. Afterall we puny human look out for miracles.

In the end its our own judgement, and all those stories (true or made up) were meant to establish a decorum in society. If they work, I have no issues with them.

I am hindu by birth, but I dont know what I am now. Read hindu books, read Bible(not completely) and Quran. I think I am a mix, I have taken whatever I like from all religions.

Border Security Force (BSF), the country’s largest border guarding force, has decided to replace the routine physical training drills for its jawans and officers with yoga. The decision to replace the daily 45-minute physical training drills with yoga at all its units was taken by BSF Director General K K Sharma after 1,900 personnel of the force recently completed a special training under the tutelage of Baba Ramdev at his facility in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar.

“Yoga has been made mandatory in the force and the jawans and officers will now undergo regular training in this skill. The routine PT exercises will be replaced by yoga,” the DG told reporters. He added that a committee of senior officers of the force has been constituted that will suggest if, apart from yoga, any other physical exercises are required to be included in the daily regime of the 2.5 lakh personnel-strong force.

Ramdev had conducted a special 10-day session for the personnel of the force at his Patanjali yoga institute which ended earlier this week. Sharma had recently said the paramilitary force has decided to “intensify” yoga training of its troops and the aim is to have at least one trainer in this discipline in each platoon-level formation.

A platoon, comprising about 35 personnel, is the minimum strength of an operational team in the force. Yoga acts as a stress buster and it is important for the men and women of the force, as they are deployed in some of the most difficult areas as part of their duties in border guarding and internal security domain, the BSF Director General had said.

BSF guards India’s two important borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh apart from conducting anti-Naxal operations in the Left Wing Extremism hit states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

Iam literally surprised by how half knowledged the critics are about Yoga. Exercise is just one of the many sutras of yoga and that by itself gives you immense physical strength. Yoga must be taught in its full form for maximum benifit and Iam sure this govt is taking some serious action to go down the roots of Indian values and culture which were once abandoned for vested interests.
