Mangaluru : Under the aegis of the Delampady Yoga Foundation, the official book launch ceremony of “Mudras for Health” (Arogyakkagi Mudregalu) was successfully held on July 17 at Amrutha Bhavana. The highly anticipated book was formally unveiled by Swami Jitakamanandaji, the revered President of Ramakrishna Math.
