Business School

Our business school, the Sanskrithi School of Business SSB in Puttaparthi, is more than just another institution to impart academic knowledge: all students are invited to participate in workshops and yoga classes, according to Swamis saying: Education serves life, not just livelihood.

"No Plastic": Awareness Campaign at SSB

On October 13, 2011 a campaign against plastic took place at the Sanskrithi School of Business SSB.

Students of several schools participated. Those in charge of the campaign said that this activity became necessary because people receive, together with their purchases, more and more plastic bags which they carelessly throw into nature afterwards, thus causing major environmental damage. As an alternative to plastic bags students distributed textile bags.

The students stressed that people need to become aware of their doing, that their action has an impact on the environment which, in turn, has a negative effect on all of us and, in the case of plastic consumption, the entire ecosystem. After the campaign, the presenting children and students were awarded various prizes by the guests of honour.

At the SSB Yoga Centre students have the opportunity to join yoga classes and hereby devellop a healthy body and a clear mind.

Our body is the vehicle that brings us through life. Of course, it must work well, and exactly that is what yoga practice, exercises for body and mind, are perfectly suited for. Yoga practice is rooted in ancient Indian philosophy. The different yoga styles have a variety of effects on health and include physical exercises, breathing techniques, meditation and relaxation exercises.

Yoga sutras define 8 rules or spiritual levels:

Yama (moral imperatives)
Niyama (positive duties / observances)
Asana (body postures)
Pranayama (breathing exercises)
Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses)
Dharana (concentration)
Dhyana (contemplation)
Samadhi (self-realization)

The first texts on yoga were written in Sanskrit, the classical language of India. The term "yoga" comes from Sanskrit and means "yoke" or "connection". It refers to the connection between body and mind. The first known texts, the yoga sutras, were written more than 2000 years ago, yoga is being practiced since over 5000 years. Originally, yoga practice served self-realization.
