IIPM 4ps Quiz
Recently featured in " Earth’s Elders" Exhibit at the United Nations, 120-year-old Swami Bua is the world’s oldest living yogi. Born with physical disabilities, he fought his way back to life at two years of age after he'd gone into a coma and was assumed dead before dramatically returning to life on the funeral pyre. Having straddled three centuries in his happy, healthy and long life, the supercentenarian who's very sharp even at this age, reveals a secret or two about his longevity to Spriha Srivastava.
You seem to be fairly healthy for someone who’s lived to be this old. What is the secret?
The only secret that keeps me healthy is always speaking the truth and doing my dharma. Following these two things keeps me healthy and at peace.
Tell us a little about your early life.
It’s told that I’m the oldest known living yogi and I’m 120-years-old (born in 1889). The youngest of 17 children, I was born crippled and healed myself through yoga, mastering asana, pranayama, and kechari mudra. I have lived through countless near-death experiences, including being face-to-face with cobras, pythons, tigers, cannibals and even New York City robbers who punched my teeth out when I was 94. I teach Yoga from my Manhattan apartment. Some of my most memorable times have been spending time with Gandhiji, Subash Chandra Bose,
Tagore, Narayana guru, Bernard Shaw, Albert Einstein, Hitler and many more such eminent personalities.
Do you attribute your longevity and health to your diet, practice of yoga and yamas and niyamas?
All of these are important to lead a long and a healthy life. Any single thing can't be pointed out as a formula of living a long life.
What exactly is Sanyaas?
Sanyaas is nothing complicated. It simply means giving unconditional love to all.
How does celibacy affect longevity?
Celibacy is a result of controlling your emotions. So it basically means not spending your emotions but directing it towards the energy one has and increasing its level.
Does physical activity have a greater influence on longevity and health than mental activity?
Longevity is not a result of one aspect only. Both physical and mental health contribute to living a long life. Only when both are balanced, can one live a healthy and longer life. Both are connected.
Is meditation more important than asanas?
Actually, asanas are the preparation for meditation. And I don’t follow anybody’s teachings. My method of meditation comes from the Bhagvad Gita. And both, asanas and meditation are important to lead a good life.
