India’s 'oldest man ever' says yoga

Looking remarkably unlined for his claimed 120 years, an Indian monk who says he is the oldest man to have ever lived puts his longevity down to no sex or spices, and daily yogaHindu monk Swami Sivananda was born on August 8, 1896, according to his passport. If true, his life would have spanned three centuries, but despite his apparent age he remains strong enough to perform yoga for hours at a time.He is now applying to Guinness World Records to verify his claim. It currently lists Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who died in June 2013 aged 116 years and 54 days, as the oldest man to have ever lived.India’s passport authorities confirmed Sivananda’s age from a temple register, the only record many Indians even decades younger have of their date of birth.However, it would be extremely difficult to independently verify his age.Sivananda was featured by local media earlier this summer taking his claims at face value.

School clebrate international day

Mount Litera Zee School with two schools in Maheshtala and Howrah celebrated International Day of Yoga by practising and creating awareness about yoga and its benefits. The schools commemorated the memorable day by organising free yoga camps which were open to all students and parents of the region. Various yoga experts were driving the camp and educated participants on adopting yoga for physical and mental well being.

The camp was organised in line with government's vision of promoting yoga in everyday life. The aim of the camp was to celebrate and spread the ancient Indian

heritage of yoga, its benefits and bliss among people across India. Last year, MLZS supported this initiative by conducting various activities on International Day of Yoga which was commended by parents and students alike.

The students also demonstrated yoga for participants, to help them learn and perform together.
