Bhupendra Yogi has been actively involved in cleaning of Baoris and other water bodies in Bundi, contributing towards heritage restoration. Whether through cleanliness drives or by conducting yoga sessions, he has been inspiring individuals to lead a healthy and environmentally conscious life.

Yogasana Expert Bhupendra Yogi has been working as a member of the Ramesht Yuwa Mandal Sansthan, Bundi, for the past one year.

Alongside his association with the social service organisation, he is actively engaged in the field of yoga, volunteering in yoga workshops, conducting sessions, and selflessly working for the betterment of society in association with other organisations in the city that collaborate with government bodies and contribute actively to their initiatives.

Talking about his association with Ramesht Yuwa Mandal Sansthan (RYMS), Bundi, Bhupendra Yogi says that when he came to know about Ramesht Sansthan, he felt a deep connection with the organisation’s initiatives focused on preserving and restoring heritage Baoris and Kunds in Bundi. Yogi shares that the members of RYMS visit the sites together and try to clean and restore them along with spreading awareness among local people about the importance of preserving and restoring water bodies.

Talking about his Yoga work, Bhupendra Yogi shares that he is also a National-Level Yoga Athlete and has been consistently participating in district and state competitions for the last five years. He also shares his expertise in yoga with people by conducting free yoga workshops under the banner of Ramesht Yuwa Mandal Sansthan for local residents, along with his active contribution to International Yoga Day celebrations in Bundi city since 2021.

Contributing to other organisations that work for the betterment of society, like MY Bharat Kendra, where individuals contribute towards the development of society through education, skill-building, and social service initiatives, Yogi has been participating selflessly, working for the same with dedication and determination.

Hailing from the small village of Gothra, 35 km away from Bundi, young Bhupendra completed his primary education in Bundi. To pursue his higher education, he got admission to a school in Balchand Para, Bundi, further completing his graduation from the city itself. Fond of teaching and education, he pursued a D.El.Ed. (Diploma in Elementary Education). He has cleared the REET Pre exams and is currently preparing for REET Mains. He is also pursuing an M.A. in Yogic Science from Kota and doing a Yoga course from the NIS. Yoga expert Bhupendra says that, for him, education is a lifelong process, and he would like to continue learning in the years ahead as well.

Sharing his childhood memories, Bhupendra shares that he had always been a less active child, with almost no involvement in physical activities and poor health habits. Eventually, he felt the need to become physically active. Watching people practise yoga on a nearby ground sparked his curiosity, which encouraged him to connect with those who were practising and teaching yoga.

He began learning yoga and continued to practise with consistency. Over time, his dedication led him to pursue yoga more seriously, eventually participating in national-level yogasana competitions.

Yoga Trainer Bhupendra Yogi draws his inspiration by observing and learning from grounded people. Likewise, while exploring the field of social service, he did detailed research on Ramesht Yuwa Mandal Sansthan (RYMS). Looking at the selfless actions and social service initiatives carried out by the youth of RYMS, he felt attracted to the cause and was driven by the desire to work for it.

He also considers great personalities from history who worked for society as his inspirations, such as Swami Vivekananda, who has inspired generations of youth. Bhupendra Yogi feels inspired by the fact that Swamiji worked in different countries for youth development as well, encouraging young individuals to work for social welfare and the betterment of society.

Talking about the struggles faced in social service, youth activist Bhupendra Yogi says that challenges are common when working for the community. Connecting with people and understanding the problems of the community came with many challenges. One such challenge was the lack of awareness regarding keeping the living area and water bodies clean. Talking about the instance of cleaning Baoris and Kunds, Yogi shares that people in the villages lacked awareness about preserving their heritage and being active citizens towards nation-building. For this, the members of Ramesht Yuwa Mandal Sansthan in Bundi, worked towards creating public awareness, during which the members of the group were also laughed at by villagers many times while carrying out cleaning projects.

Also, in the field of yoga, when they performed yogasanas on digital platforms or on stage, they were laughed at for performing yoga poses. However, slowly, with time, people became more knowledgeable about yoga, understood its benefits, and started supporting the same.

“A person doesn't need any special achievement to connect with or be a part of RYMS,” says welfare worker Bhupendra Yogi. Physically capable individuals with a selfless mindset can connect with the cause. One can contribute either by promoting yoga for the betterment of people’s health or by participating in cleanliness drives for cleaning stepwells and other water bodies.

Highlighting a speciality of Ramesht Yuva Mandal Sansthan, Bundi, Yogi shares that the organisation has active participation from children as young as five years of age to people aged 60 years and above, all working together in the initiatives conducted under its banner and contributing in one way or another.

On a concluding note, Yogasana Trainer Bhupendra Yogi requests all the citizens of India to stay physically fit by dedicating at least half an hour every day to physical activities and exercise, be it yoga, any sport, or any other form of workout, to maintain an active lifestyle.

Ramesht Yuwa mandal Sansthan Member Bhupendra Yogi also shares a message for all social workers to serve with a selfless nature, contributing to society with the same dedication in whichever field they are working, reaching even the last person in the line.

He says he believes that a person is known for their work, and wishes to serve society with a dedicated heart.
