he sun is setting on the scorching summer and
the temperatures are receding slowly, but steadily.
However, there is no receding in the activity
levels at the India Club. The summer camps, both
the sports based and activity based, were very
successful and enjoyable, judging from the feedback
from our younger members. The innovative approach
that we bring towards enhancing the growth of our
younger lot speaks for itself.
The international trips have become a regular
feature and this time around the destination was
exciting Russia. There were a record number of
members in two batches for the trip, covering the
cities of Moscow and St. Petersberg. Our member
satisfaction is proof of the tremendous success of
these ventures.
The festivals of Onam and Janmashtami were
celebrated with much pomp and gusto, as always.
Both festivals bring out the best in our communities
as was evident at the club.
The next couple of months will see a lot of
entertainment action with the festival celebration
events of Navratri, Diwali and Eid. There are also
plenty of activities for the MNC members, children
and ladies lined up for the winter months.
The travel buffs should prepare themselves for the
next international destination, the beautiful country of
Lebanon, which is scheduled during the coming Eid
holidays.
So as I lay down my plume I would advise all of you
to get your adrenaline pumping for an event packed
three months at our beloved India Club.

From Russia with Love
A
5-day trip to Russia - It
seemed very tempting and
exotic, and me and my family had
no second thoughts about it when
we saw the ad from India club. It
had always been a dream to visit
Russia on a holiday and going with
the India club team and members
seemed like the perfect option
- safe, fun and exciting!!
From the word go it was
a pampered trip - right from
organizing the visas to picking
us up from the door step of India
club , to the group check in, we
felt really taken care of. I must
appreciate the India club team that
travelled with us who along with
the tour operator really took care
of the minutest details while we
could just sit back and enjoy.
Russia as a country viz.St
Petersburgh and Moscow were an
excellent choice as a destination.
There was breathtaking scenic
beauty, magnificent palaces, so
much of culture, art and history
that completely blew us away. We
never expected to have such an
enriching experience. Also the
atmosphere was very friendly
and cordial with all the members
bonding, joking and having so
much fun as well as looking out
for each other - making sure that
we had no disasters like anyone
being left behind. The food must
have a special mention as we
never expected to have such
garamagaram tasty Indian khana
- for lunch and dinner every day.
The sight seeing itinerary was
"
very well planned and even the
children enjoyed all the trips museums, palaces, forts, churches
each place having some story
behind it. The guide was also
quite entertaining and kept us well
informed about every place and
also taught us some Russian along
the way !!
After this memorable trip
I would strongly recommend
every member to experience
this hospitality courtesy India
club at least once. I would also
like to congratulate the Club for
having come up with this unique
concept of taking members on
international trips to such fantastic
places and for doing such a great
job of it. Keep it up Team India
Club !!

According to a popular legend,

dear King that they are happy and
wish him well.
The event started with Mahabali

to the beat of drums. Mohiniattam
and folk dances were performed
gracefully by the students from
crystal music and dance school.
The music show included popular
songs in Malayam and Hindi.
Onasadya was served on a

To Russia with love
India Club organised a tour to the Russian
Federation, visiting its two great, most striking
and historical cities, St. Petersburg, the jewel
in Russia’s imperial crown and Moscow,
Russia’s lively capital. T
he response was so good that all the 130 members
could not be accommodated in one group, thus
two groups were made. The first group embarked
on the tour from 24th – 29th August while the second
group visited Russia from 31st Aug – 5th Sept.
Situated on the great Eurasian plane, Russia has
been vulnerable to invasions
from both the East and West
but was also well-placed
to expand laterally, once a
centralised autocratic state
emerged under the grand
princes. Today Russia spans
the entire northern part of
the Eurasian continent. On arrival at the Moscow
International airport from
Abu Dhabi, an one hour domestic flight took us to
St. Petersburg. It was 7pm in the evening and it was
amazing to see the sunshine until so late in the evening.
In the evening, a short city tour of St. Petersburg
was organised with dinner at an Indian Restaurant and
transfer to the hotel. Day 2 started of with the City Tour of key landmarks
featuring the imposing Peter and Paul Fortress, among
the city’s oldest structures, built in 1703. Inside the
fortress, Peter and Paul Cathedral with a tall golden
spire, contains the tombs of the Russian czars, including
the founder of the city Peter the Great. A visit to the
12 India Club
political prison founded in
1890’s was worthwhile. The
members could also witness
the canon shots produced,
during mid day every day.
In the afternoon, a visit
was organised to The State
Hermitage Museum with
its unrivalled collection of
European masterpieces;
boasting one of the largest
collections of art and
artifacts in the world. On Day 3 everyone
embarked on a Journey
to Pushkin the summer
residence of the Russian
Tzars. A visit to the
submarine museum was
a unique experience. The
river cruise on the Moika,
Fontana and Neva rivers
was breathtaking and the
day ended with the mind
blowing Russian Ballet Show. Day 4 morning was a
gloomy and rainy day in
St. Petersburg. A visit to the
Cathedral of Split Blood was
just memorable. The church
dome was just astonishing.
In the afternoon, all took
the bullet train from St.
Petersburg to Moscow. The 5
hour train journey was truly
picturesque. Upon arrival
in Moscow, a short tour
of the Moscow city, New
Maiden Nunnery Fortress
Church and the Victory
Park Fountain Museum was
arranged prior to dinner and
check in at the hotel.
Day 5 started with a full
day tour of Moscow with
a visit to Jesus the Saviour
Church and the ride to
Kremlin by Moscow Metro,
the heart of Russian political
power and a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. The
tour included the Patriarch’s
Palace, Cathedral Square
and the majestic Armoury
Museum, which houses state
carriages from Catherine the
Greats era and a fabulous
collection of Carl Fabergé
eggs. Red Square was simply
amazing. The second batch got an opportunity to see
the Russian day in Moscow
where people in thousands
flocked to the street and
celebrated the Moscow Day. A few of our members got
the opportunity to see the
dance performance on Jai
Ho song. In the evening everyone
enjoyed the breathtaking
Moscow Circus. The sixth
day saw the travelers from
India Club depart for Abu
Dhabi with fond memories
of a journey to the historical
land of Russia. The India
Club tour to Russia was
organised though Akber
Holidays. FF

In the modern scenario, human life has become very fast, hectic and demanding. The
present lifestyle demands adjustment on
the part of the individual. Each of us, as per
our coping resources, tries to adjust in this
changing world. Some adjust by becoming
overactive and others by withdrawing from
the situation.When we fail to make a proper
adjustment according to the demands of
the situation, a state of negative stress or
distress develops in our personality, which
gives rise to mental or psychological problems. In most people the mind always remains in a state of arousal and tension. Yoga
nidra, as a technique of pratyahara, not only
provides relaxation to the body and mind
but also has a number of benefits.
Yoga nidra is one of the practices of pratyahara where the awareness is internalized.
Literally, yoga nidra means ‘psychic sleep’
i.e. sleep with full awareness. In the practice
of yoga nidra the body sleeps but the mind
remains awake listening to the instructions.
In psychology, the state achieved in yoga nidra is termed the hypnogogic state, a state
between sleep and wakefulness.
Stages of yoga nidra:
The practice of yoga nidra is divided into the following
stages:
1. Preparation: Yoga nidra is performed in the posture
of shavasana, with the eyes closed. In this stage, initial
relaxation of the body and mind is induced by the awareness of stillness, comfort, posture, position, breath, and
listening to the external sounds with the attitude of a
witness.
2. Sankalpa: When the body and mind are relaxed,
then the practitioner is instructed to take a resolve according to his or her own wish. The sankalpa should be short,
clear and positive. The practitioner repeats the selected
sankalpa three times mentally, with full determination,
conviction and confidence.
3. Rotation of consciousness: In the third stage, the
awareness is rotated around the different body parts in
a systematic and organized manner. The practitioner is
instructed to remain aware, to listen to the instructions
and to move the mind very rapidly according to the instructions without making any physical movements. The
rotation of awareness in yoga nidra follows a definite
sequence: right side of the body, beginning with the right
hand thumb and ending with the little toe of the right

Question
"
Yoga nidra
Tennis - S. Ganesh
Does one actually goes to sleep in yoga nidra, as
the name suggests psychic sleep, if not then what
happens during yoga nidra ?
Ans................................................................................
4. Breath awareness: In this stage, one simply becomes aware of the natural breath without making an
attempt to change the flow of the breath. One may
become aware of the breath by watching it in the nostrils, chest, and abdomen, or in the passage between
the navel and the throat. The practitioner becomes
aware of each incoming and outgoing breath by
counting them mentally.
5. Opposite feelings and sensations: In this stage,
the physical or emotional sensations are recalled,
intensified and experienced fully. Usually this is practised with pairs of opposite feelings or sensations like
heat and cold, heaviness and lightness, pain and pleasure, love and hate, and so on.
6. Visualization: In the stage of visualization, the
awareness is taken to the dark space in front of the
closed eyes, referred to as chidakasha in yogic terminology. The practitioner is then instructed to visualize
some objects, stories or situations in the chidakasha.
7. Sankalpa: Once again the sankalpa, taken in
stage two, is repeated mentally three times in this
stage with full dedication, faith and optimism.
8. Ending the practice: Before ending the session
of yoga nidra, slowly the awareness is externalized
by asking the practitioner to become aware of the
external sounds, objects and persons. They are asked
then to slowly move the body parts and to stretch the
body.
Benefits of yoga nidra
The practice of yoga nidra has a number of benefits.
Important among them are as follows.
1.Minimizes tension
2.Trains the mind
3.Relaxes the mind
4.Clears up the unconscious
5.Awakens creativity
6.Enhances memory and learning capacity
7.Counteracts stress
8.Manages psychological disorders
9.Manages psychosomatic diseases
10.Cancer and yoga nidra

adopted as a therapeutic model in the treatment of
cancer. In cancer therapy yoga nidra works at four
different levels:
By releasing repressed matter
By pranic healing
By mental healing
By promoting willpower

members networking centre
P
iya Bawari was staged by India
Club at Sh.Rashid Auditorium,
IHS for its MNC members on 1st
Oct, in association with Mayavi Dance
Drama Concepts, Dubai. It was a tale of
two lovers from different eras, distinct
in their characteristics but unified by
their insurmountable love for Krishna.
Radha’s journey of love remains
mystical whereas Meera’s devotion
remains indefinable, thus leading to
an abstract connection between the
two most celebrated lovers of Krishna
known to Indian culture. They might
be divided by time but must have
been united by soul. This musical was
a literary canvas of love that tried to
capture every aspect of their connection
with Krishna.
The musical was dramatized through
classical dance in a contemporary
fashion, using popular Indian music
and dialogues in both English and
Hindi. The stage utilized the latest
lights and modern day set designs and
props with the newest technology of
virtual backdrops
With this classic integration Piya
Bawari created an experience that
Dubai had not witnessed before. FF

Improving Standards
I
t has been a constant endeavor to ensure
that the standards at the Club are not only
maintained but improved in any which
way we can. To that effect, the entire Kitchen
has been refurbished after a period of nearly
20 years. Not only has the Kitchen area been
Club in the region to apply these standards.
Another effort on our part to continuously
improvise and improve the living standards
as of today. Club members can also support
us by ensuring that newspapers at home are
deposited in our recycle bins placed near Gate
no.3.
ISO celebrating with officials
Kitchen
expanded to accommodate the ever growing
demand for the Club’s food and beverage
facilities, the fuel utilized has been shifted
from the conventional gas cylinders to a gas
Gas Bank
bank which increases efficiency through lower
consumption.
We at the club believe that starting small
or big, does not make a difference, as long
as each one plays their part in contributing
to the betterment of mankind and to our
environment. Towards achieving the bigger
object we keep assiduously adding to our
efforts in every which way possible and will
continue to do so.
We are also in the final stages of completion
of implementing the ISO14001:2004
standards which concentrate on environmental
management systems. On attaining this
certification, we will again be the premier
ISO team
We also celebrated 10 years since the Club
attained its ISO9001 certification. Over the
last couple of years this has been upgraded
to conform to the 2008 standards,. With
regular audits and constant improvisation, this
quality standard has been an effective tool
in identifying various areas of improvisation
throughout the Club.
For the 2nd year running, India Club will
be supporting the Breast Cancer Awareness
Campaign in a big way. From Ladies coffee
evenings, where free mammogram
checkup vouchers will be given, to
participating in the Safe and Sound
walkathon on October 28, 2011,
members are encouraged to sign
up and make a difference. A taboo
subject no more, breast cancer
awareness has taken centre stage in the world
of women empowerment. Protecting members
of the fairer sex from this debilitating disease,
is the duty of today’s society. Awareness is only
the premier step in this direction, control and
treatment another factor altogether. If early
detection and discovery can save women from
the latter, it is already well worth the effort on
our part.
