“There is none as closest to God, as you. For, God resides in you” says Mr. Irani, CEO of a Healing Institute called Prisim at Sleater Road. The birth of Shankh (conch) Yoga took place in Prisim Healing Institute. The founder, Mr. Firdos Irani was inspired and motivated by Mrs. Priti Shroff (owner of the Institute) to explore his full potential not only as a Yoga Therapist but also as a Self-Realized Soul. He says, “The Shankh was always on my mind, but it is she who gave me the confidence to experiment and venture on this path, now called Shankh Yoga.” Now he blows the conch and transports the listener to discover the beautiful vibrant world of Shankh Yoga, the first of its kind.
When one enters the mediation room one automatically feels serene and peaceful. There is a small tree planted in a corner with birds flying freely chirping in the background giving the student an essence of a natural environment. Mr. Irani explains, “…to practice Shankh Yoga one has to be systematic, sit in the right posture (preferably cross-legged in an upright position with palms placed on the knees or lie down) with their eyes closed.” The session starts by reciting the universal mantra OM (representing O Mazda in Zoroastrianism) three times. The Shankh is blown in the beginning, end and sometimes throughout the session, i.e. around 15 to 20 times, depending on the objective of the session.
It is proven by Hypnotherapy, that the human brain receives information in message units. It is when the human brain is bombarded with lots of instructions or messages that the person reaches a trance or suggestive state. With the blowing of the conch, there is a phenomenal increase in the message units received by the human brain. This form of yoga cures almost 90% of the problems, physical and mental which are created by a non-stable mind. With Shankh Yoga, the person goes faster and deeper in a trance which calms and soothes the person. The same leads to a meditative state of mind where the person feels completely relaxed. The energy created sends message units to the brain which also helps building a sense of self-confidence and independence. He adds further, “The student feels strong vibrations throughout the body, gets the feeling of levitation and upsurge of inner strength or visualization of spectrum of lights at times.”
Mr. Firdos Irani is proud to be a Zoroastrian who wants to extend a helping hand in the service of humanity. He proudly says, “Blow the Shankh with all your heart and soul and spread positive vibrations all over the world, bringing joy, peace and tranquility to all around.”
Mr. Irani also gave us a few simple tips on staying fit and doing yoga the right way:
1. One must take soft, gentle, long deep breaths to get into the meditative state.
2. Eyes must be closed at all times.
3. The loud chanting of OM helps to increase the power of the lungs and the vibrations helps one to stay positive through the journey we call life.
4. Above all, yogic activities should be practiced slowly and one must have the patience.
5. While doing the ‘Asanas’ one must concentrate on the body part being used.
The few ‘Asanas’ that can be practiced regularly for good health are Ardha Halasna, Ardha Purna Halasna, Bhujangasana, Makarasana, Kativakrasana, Shavasasana, Anulom Vilom.
