Shubhinhu Shukla, captain of Indian astronaut group, returned to Earth from space on Tuesday (July 15) Spend 14 days aboard international space station (ISS). Shukla is the first Indian to ride on ISS and only the second Indian to travel in space.
Shukla shared a glimpse with his 14-day stay in the ISS on her Instagram handle, showing how ‘still’ is a challenge in space, and how he still struggles during his attempt to live.
In the video posted by him, Shukla can be seen practicing peace by sitting in a cross-legged position. He said, “This video was a few days in the mission when I finally controlled my movements. What I wanted to do was still, but clearly failed,” he said.
He shared the challenges of learning to move to microgravity while knowing the station.
“We were very busy in chasing the timeline and completing our actions and experiments since we arrived at @iss. It is a bit challenging initially because you are learning to move to microgravity and also want to know the station.”
He still compared to be in space to be in this ‘fast growing world’, while urged everyone to slow down and take some time to slow down and practice peace.
“Any small disturbance can move your body to space and this skill can still be completely. In this fast moving world like our brain. Take some time today. It is still important to slow down today.”

“Apparently is still a challenge with or without gravity,” he concluded.
Shukla served as a pilot nominated for the Axiom-4 mission, which reached ISS after a 28-hour spaceflight. During her time, Shukla successfully completed all seven microgravity experiments assigned by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), including muscle regeneration, tardigrade, seed germination, algae cultivation, crop flexibility, radiation effects and study on human physiology.
