SKM Maeilanandhan is President of The World Community Service Centre. The World Community Service Centre (WCSC) is to bring peace in the society through peace in the individual.

The practice and teachings of the WCSC are made so as to combine and integrate these three aims.

• For sensory enjoyments; proper training alone can curb the animalistic tendencies of aggression and selfishness.

• The WCSC is the vehicle to teach the psychic and physical practices synthesized by Vethathiri Maharishi to achieve realization through introspection, purification and meditation.

• The human being is a wonderful species, evolved through millions of forms and intrinsically endowed with tremendous qualities and potentials.

The objective of the World Community Service Centre is to bring peace in the society through peace in the individual. Society is made up of individual human beings. Hence, peace must emanate from individual, then permeate to the family, and then to the society at large.

Ultimately world peace will blossom. The practices and teachings of the WCSC are made so as to combine and integrate these three aims.

To teach philosophy of Nature and initiate practical and easy methods of attaining Self Realisation to those who deserve and thereby spread altruism all over the world.

To make people understand that they must unite for purposes of solving common problems such as unemployment, imparting spiritual education to all children, clearing of slums and improving sanitation and to educate the people about the necessity of Co-operative Societies for production and distribution of essential requisites of life, etc.,

It is the policy of WCSC to work for and achieve all its objects and ideals by all peaceful and legitimate means and to spread its objects and ideals amongst the people of India and other nations of the World without transgressing the limits of Freedom of speech, Freedom of thought, Freedom of action and Freedom of opinion, as conferred by the Constitutions of those nations.

Simplified Physical Exercise

A set of exercises has been designed as synthesis of different yogasana practices. This can be practiced by any person above the age of eight. The contents of simplified exercises are as follows:

These Physical exercises ensure proper circulation of blood, heat and air in the body.

The Foot Reflexology in the leg exercise activates the nerves and correct Electrical imbalances. Breathing exercise ensures increase in the intake of oxygen which will help to purify the blood.

Even Though most of these exercises are helpful to cure some diseases like arthritis, sinusitis, spondylitis etc., they are mainly useful for prevention of occurrence of diseases.

Astanga Yoga (Yoga in eight steps) evolved by Pathanjali Saint has been simplified to suit the needs of modern way of life. The principles and practices adopted in this simplified meditation are based on scientific principles.

It is a fact that human being is always in emotional mood due to hereditary imprints and environmental factors. By doing this meditation, the frequency of mind is reduced from Beta (14-40 cycles per second – emotional mood) to Alfa (8-13 cps – awareness stage).

The practitioner is able to keep the mind at pituitary gland (Master gland for five senses) and do his/her activities (Thought, word and deed) with awareness of the consequences. This will enable any practitioner to keep the mind in a peaceful state and to develop willpower, avoid pains / diseases and also to solve problems.

Introspection or Self Analysis

This is another important practice in this system of yoga. With the willpower derived by meditation, the practitioner will be able to develop positive thinking, can be free from desires which can not be fulfilled, can neutralize anger and eradicate worries.
