ULSAN, South Korea, Nov. 4, 2024 – Located along South Korea’s southeastern coast, Ulsan is known not only as an industrial powerhouse, with major corporations like Hyundai and Hanwha, but also as the country’s premier eco-city.

One of its most notable natural attractions is Samho Bamboo Forest in Namgu, the city’s southern district, where around 40,000 rooks gather each winter for a breathtaking aerial display. These flocks arrive in early October and stay through early March, creating a spectacular sight at sunset that captivates both local and international tourists.

Situated near the Taehwagang River basin, Samho Bamboo Forest provides an ideal year-round environment for migratory birds due to its mild climate, abundant food sources, and predator-free surroundings. This habitat is well-suited for the winter gathering of rooks, known as the “Special Guests of Winter,” making it one of Ulsan’s most beloved eco-tourism destinations.

Samho Bamboo Forest is equipped with visitor facilities such as the Migratory Bird Center, which features a top-floor observation deck offering panoramic views of the rooks. Visitors can also explore exhibition spaces, a 5D theater, and a VR experience area – especially popular among families with children. The 5D theater screens a bird-themed animation in English, Chinese, and Japanese, ensuring accessibility for international guests. Visitors also can enjoy traditional Korean tea at the fourth-floor cafe.

Ulsan Namgu authorities have undertaken various initiatives to preserve this natural habitat and promote eco-tourism, including deploying specialized cleaning vehicles to manage the effects of bird populations and conducting research to protect migratory bird habitats. These efforts underscore the district’s commitment to fostering a harmonious coexistence between people and nature.

From November 9 to 10, Ulsan Namgu will host the 2024 Samho Bird Festival at the Samho Migratory Bird Park and Migratory Bird Center. It will feature a welcoming performance for migratory birds, migratory birds observation sessions, and hands-on activities for families.

“Samho-dong’s rook murmurations are a unique winter spectacle,” said Seo Dong-wook, Mayor of Ulsan Namgu. “We invite everyone to join us at the 2024 Samho Bird Festival to experience the beauty and wonder of nature firsthand.”

Hyderabad, June 20, 2024….Dhyan Foundation, a volunteer-driven social organisation is to open a New Dhyan Center in Banjara Hills for Free Yoga Training. It will be the state-of-the-art Yoga Studio. It will be formally opened on Sunday by its volunteers.

Dhyan Foundation works for the welfare of animals, particularly the Indian sacred animal cow. It is the only organisation working with the Border Security Force (BSF) to rehabilitate cattle rescued from the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Disclosing this in a press note issued in Hyderabad, the Dhyan Foundation spokesperson said the centre which is coming up in the centre of the city at Banjara Hills is its place and can accommodate up to 200 people. It will teach every aspect of Yoga by volunteers who are students, homemakers, lawyers, journalists, doctors, and CEOs under the guidance of Ashwini Guruji of Dhyan Ashram.

Soon it will run a few special sessions of Secrets from Sanatan Kriya for eternal youth & glow and a brilliant mind, under the guidance of *Ashwini Guru ji* of Dhyan Ashram.

Ashwini Guruji is an embodiment of the gyan of the Vedas. He follows the Guru-Shishya parampara in its totality, He believes yoga is a sadhana and not a business. The foundation is committed to the cause of spreading awareness about the authentic path of yoga, as laid down by Sage Patanjali 4,500 years ago. Be it conducting lectures at various prestigious institutions like IIM, Bangalore, Oxford University, and London, authoring masterpieces on esoteric subjects (including the thesis on anti-ageing, Sanatan Kriya – The Ageless Dimension) or taking seekers from across ages on spiritual sojourns to places of importance in the Vedic culture – He has continuously enlightened us about our history.

From revealing to us the deep secrets hidden under the Earth at the Patal Bhuvaneshwari Caves, interpreting the ancient Vedic symbolism of the Rollright stones in the UK, to uncovering astounding revelations of the Sigiriya rock in Sri Lanka, Ashwini Guruji has enlightened us about the Vedic relevance of each of these places.

Formed in 2002 to share and spread the gyan of the original and pristine form of yog, Dhyan Foundation, today is a global phenomenon with centres all across the world where Sanatan Kriya (Patanjali Ashtang Yog in its original, undiluted form) sessions are conducted free of cost as per the ancient Guru-Shishya Parampara. Thousands across the globe have benefited physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually from the practice of Sanatan Kriya.

Dhyan Foundation runs several animal welfare programmes for dogs, birds, cows, monkeys and many other animals. Today, it has over 47 shelters and gaushalas and we provide aid, care, food and shelter to over 70,000 animals.
