Ahimsa (Sanskrit: Devanagari; अहिंसा; IAST ahiṃsÄ, PÄli: avihiṃsÄ) is a term meaning to do no harm (literally: the avoidance of violence – himsa). It is an important tenet of the religions that originated in ancient India (Hinduism, Buddhism and especially Jainism).

Ahimsa is a rule of conduct that bars the killing or injuring of living beings. It is closely connected with the notion that all kinds of violence entail negative karmic consequences. The extent to which the principle of non-violence can or should be applied to different life forms is controversial between various authorities, movements and currents within the three religions and has been a matter of debate for thousands of years. Though the origins of the concept of ahinsa are unknown, the earliest references to ahinsa are found in the texts of historical Vedic religion, dated to 8th century BCE. Here, ahinsa initially relates to „non-injury“ without a moral connotation, but later to non-violence to animals and then, to all beings. Though meat-eating and slaughter of animals are criticized by some Hindu texts, other texts present counter-arguments in support of ritual sacrifice. In the 19th and 20th centuries, prominent figures of Indian spirituality such as Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Swami Sivananda and A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada emphasized the importance of ahinsa. Mahatma Gandhi applied ahinsa to politics, by his non-violent satyagrahas. Read More: > HERE <

Subhash Dhunoohchand was inspired by his father, late Balram Dhunoohchand to learn the precision beats of the tabla, which he began playing when he was 17. Later he went to India for further classical training as a student of Pandit Sudhir Kumar Saxena. He ha s been working with such diverse musicians as Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt Budhaditya Mukherjee, Rupak Kulkarni, Rakesh Chaurasia, Sazed Ul Alam, Trilok Gurtu and many well known jazz musicians like Ola Melander, Anatholi Bulkin, Xavier Rudd and Lars Gullikson.

In the mid-90s Subhash founded Cosmic Sound, an indo jazz fusion music group. In 1993 he release his first CD, Raga Marwa of Indian Classical Music in Sweden with Sazed Ul Alam and at the same time performing with the jazz fusion music group. His groundbreaking debut release Obsession, was recorded in France, and featured contributions from Anupriya Deotale, late Soudama Jankee, Anatholi Bulkin, Celine Bonacina and Rupak Kulkarni. An astonishing marriage of traditional Indian sounds and jazz, it deservedly received strong reviews.

For this European tour Subhash is travelling with his son Sumesh on tabla, Bharati on vocal, Bruno Chane Kane on electric guitar from France and Nandkumar on bass tabla. We are also performing with some indian music musicians from London. A dedicated fusionist with both an uncanny ear for melody and an innate talent for complex rhythms, Subhash Dhunoohchand always seems to be one step ahead of his electronic.

Yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahra, dharana, dhyana and samadhi are the eight limbs of yoga . Ahimsa, satya, asteya, bramacharya and aparigraha are the five yamas – The yoga sutras of Patanjali, 2.30-31

In the classical yoga system described by Patanjali more than two thousand years ago, the first stage (or limb, as they are generally called) of yoga is Yama (ethical disciplines) and of these, Ahimsa is the first.

In short, according to Patanjali, ahimasa, non-violence or, as Desikashar defines it, „Consideration for all living creatures, especially those who are innocent, in difficulty or worse off than we are“ should be the very beginning of any yoga practice.
