Bangalore: Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, is a way to improve the mind, body and spirit. It is nothing but a set of five simple exercises that help open up one's energy channels, purify the body and helps the practitioner find inner peace. Bhagwan, a practitioner, says that many people have taken to Falun Dafa as it helps improve a person's health and cleanses the body. "It is suitable for all ages. By practising Falun Dafa, one can develop clarity in approach in day-to-day life," he said.

Chitra Bhagwan, also a practitioner, said that Falun Dafa was based on three principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. Falun Dafa is an ancient cultivation practice. Master Li Hongzhi popularised it in 1992. It is currently practised in over 70 countries across the world by more than 100 million people, said Cindy Drukier, a Canadian practitioner.

Ms. Chitra said Falun Dafa is easy to learn as the movements are simple and effective. She said that Falun Dafa is practised in the city at Cubbon Park at 6.30 a.m. and Kumara Park West at 5 p.m. For details, call 9341254320, 9886500273.
