The need of the hour is for a symbiotic relationship between Yoga and modern science. To satisfy this need living human bridges combining the best of both worlds need to be cultivated. It is important that more dedicated scientists take up Yoga and that more Yogis study science so that we can build a bridge between these two great evolutionary aspects of our civilization. This book reiterates the concept that Yoga is all about becoming "one" with an integrated state of being and that the modern tendency of Yogopathy in contrast is more about "doing" than "being".

Heartfelt Stories
Stories always teach us a lesson which is why you will often hear the moral of the stories highlighted by our parents/grandparents. Stories give us hope; an emotion that is felt from within and reminds us that something good definitely comes out of the most difficult situations. As time passed by, this tradition of telling stories was taken over by other more modern things such as digital pictures. Nowadays not many kids listen to stories but instead are glued on to ipads/iphones and android phones. It is fascinating to see that in various rural areas they have used various props such as puppets and stones to narrate stories, and to our bewilderment they are mind-blowing. Frankly speaking, I miss all those nights when I used to eagerly listen to all those stories and anxiously wait for the end. In fact, I wouldn’t mind listening to them again as they take me back to my childhood. So let’s explore the hidden realms of storytelling with these heartfelt stories.
After receiving a lot of appreciation for my written stories, I have created Heartfelt Stories which is my first eBook of 5 lovely stories. Each one of these narrates the protagonist's journey, overcoming difficult milestones to manifest a beautiful life. Soon, my second eBook will be launched with more fascinating stories to touch your hearts!

Introduction
The purpose of writing this book on happiness is to bring a smile on your face. After reading it you would be clear what real happiness is and know what causes unhappiness.
The definition of happiness is changing with times. Everyone knows happiness is inside you. Simple isn’t it? However, we continue to run around the world in search of it. Will we find it this way? No, Never. Our environment programs us to appreciate happiness through things. When as a young kid we cried, they gave us a rattle. Maybe we needed our mother’s lap. The same treatment continued throughout our childhood. The result - we linked happiness to our desires.
When we grew young our parents taught us to take good care of our belongings, be it be our first bicycle, pencil box, gaming console or the cricket bat. They have trained us to fight the war. With whom? We don’t know! I think it is with ourselves.
The book outlines steps I had taken to set myself on the path of happiness. The experiences written in the book are real-life insights, the outlook is practical and the initiatives to keep you ‘happy’, simple and doable. As we study to be aware, eat to remain healthy or work to earn money, we should also work to remain ‘happy’. Happiness is not a lottery gifted to you in a draw of lots. It is a way of life. People who understand this, live a blissful life while others are always questioning: why am I cursed?
I have shared experiences which helped me in understanding life, our role in the ecosystem and how our interactions with the ecosystem enhance the pleasures of life. You are most welcome to believe them and follow them. You may believe some, drop few or dump them. It’s your choice. Happiness is also a choice. If you want to remain happy, you will, come what may.
Happy Reading!

Grateful in poverty
What makes a people happier? Happiness is thought of as the good life, freedom from suffering, flourishing, well-being, joy, prosperity, and pleasure ("What Is Happiness?"). In my opinion, true happy persons should not be happy because the materials they have, should not because the money they have. A true happy person should be happy because they are grateful to everything they get. No matter how poor they are, a poor person can be more grateful than a rich person.
As my memory, a mother from my friend in high school was a perfect example of a true happy person. She is called Saran. Saran’s family was very poor because her husband left with other woman when my friend was born. However, my friend has two older sisters. A single mother raised three children from babies to teens. It is no way that she can improve her life but even worse. However, I found out Saran was a happy person when I got to know her.
Saran’s family was getting help by the government which was a little amount of money for each month. In terms of personality, happy people tend to be more extroverted (Van Den Broek). When I first went to Saran’s house, it was extremely poor condition. The furniture and the thing they have were poor and old. The space of their home was tiny too, and I even had to walk along a pathway in her house. However, her family was very happy to each other. On their face, I could tell they do not feel sad for the poor condition of their house. I could tell they actually feel grateful and happy because they had a house.
During in Saran’s house, I was playing computer games with my friend. Saran would make a lot of food and drinks for us. Although they were not noble and expensive, they were very taste. However, the things that touched me is, she even shared their food to me when they were so poor. And when then the time they heard I said the food was good and taste, their face just changed to a grateful and contented look.
When I was about to leave, she invited me to a volunteering work for charity suddenly. After few seconds, I was shocked, and I could not imagine how come a poor people can possibly put their effort to a charity. Therefore, I pretended I did not hear it, and they explained to me what they did. I just realized they already be volunteers for couple years at that moment. They sold anything they got from the charity. After that, the money they got will help people in Africa and poor countries. They did not have money to help other people, but they helped people in another way with action and love. They were so extroverted and grateful. That is why they could still help other people when they were already extremely poor.
After I met them in person for several times, my thought of happy has changed. In addition, this changed of my thought even solved a big problem I had before. I used to thing happy is about money. If I get money, I will be happy. However, I was wrong, completely wrong. After .

Sai baba message to humanity
1. Cultivate forgiveness and love. Forgiveness is the most important quality for humans as it leads to truth, virtue, non-violence and happiness. Without forgiveness, jealousy and hatred take over, destroying one's humanity.
2. Jealousy and hatred destroyed the Kauravas by causing disharmony between them. Jealousy ultimately leads to self-ruin, as was seen with characters in literature and myths who were overcome by jealousy.
3. One must accept both pleasure and pain as part of life, given by God. Taking whatever is given with an attitude of surrender to God leads to divine grace. Joy and sorrow go together in life just as day follows night.
26 deaths seen in life
The document discusses four deaths the author witnessed in their life:
1. The death of the author's father from diabetes complications, just two months before his planned retirement.
2. Witnessing a man fall from a train platform and die instantly from head injuries.
3. The accidental death of a businessman the author had met with the day before to discuss business plans.
4. The unexpected death of the author's best friend from heart attack at age 55, just as he was planning for his daughter's upcoming marriage and his own retirement.
The author reflects on witnessing these deaths and how it shaped their views on the unpredictability of death.

Role of yoga in tension outlets of children
Children today face increased stress even at a young age, which can impact their personality development and later coping abilities. Yoga practices like pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (postures), trataka (concentration), relaxation, and meditation can help children manage and reduce stress and tension. These yoga techniques calm the mind, improve focus and concentration, increase strength and flexibility, and promote relaxation and stress relief in children. Specific yoga poses, breathing exercises, and meditation techniques are described that are appropriate and beneficial for children.
Nadis
Nadis are the channels in the subtle body that carry prana or vital energy. There are 101 main nadis that connect at points called chakras. The document discusses the five main pranas, types of nadis like ida, pingala and sushumna, how nadis are purified, functions like carrying life force energy, and diagnosis of diseases through nadi pulse reading. Nadi therapy involves massage and activating parts of the body to relieve pain and stimulate muscles and blood circulation.
Swara yoga
Swara yoga is the science of understanding the union of breath vibrations. It deals with the interaction between cosmic rhythms and individual breath patterns. Breath links the individual body to the cosmic body. Swara yoga emphasizes how the first and last breaths activate certain elements that influence one's life and reincarnation. It differs from pranayama in that it manipulates breath rhythms rather than controlling breath. Practicing swara yoga can attune one to natural rhythms and achieve self-awareness.
Woman in the present age
Women today face many challenges as greater responsibilities and opportunities continue to emerge in society. While progress has been made, true equality remains an ongoing goal requiring open-mindedness and understanding between all people.

Garbha shishuvige patanjalia kivi mathu
The document discusses evidence from Vedic literature that suggests a fetus can hear and respond to external stimuli. It provides three examples: 1) Pigeon eggs in a cave that heard Shiva and became immortal. 2) Sage Ashtavakra, who learned the Vedas in the womb and corrected his father. 3) Abhimanyu, who learned to enter but not exit the Chakravyuha formation by overhearing his father in the womb. The document argues this supports the concept of a fetus's awareness before birth.

Sravana shakthi hearing disorders in children
Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions, affecting over 19 million Americans. However, approximately three out of five older adults and six out of seven middle-aged adults with hearing loss do not use hearing aids. The document discusses the importance of hearing for development, various causes and types of hearing loss, methods for screening and assessing hearing loss, and treatment options such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening devices.
Cell phone use on child development and behavior
The document discusses the effects of increased technology and cell phone use on child development. It notes that critical motor and sensory milestones are being missed in children, impacting academic performance. There is also an increasing incidence of childhood behavioral and psychological disorders. Research suggests cell phone radiation may increase risks of brain cancer and dementia. Studies show children absorb more radiation than adults from cell phones. Technology overuse is linked to developmental delays, attention issues, obesity, and sleep problems in children. Prescriptions of psychotropic drugs for children have also tripled in recent decades. The document calls for reducing children's screen time and increasing physical activity and human interaction to support healthy development.
Yoga for pregnancy
The document provides information about yoga practices during pregnancy organized by trimester. The first trimester focuses on stress reduction and avoiding dynamic poses due to risk of abortion. The second trimester emphasizes establishing a steady yoga practice as the fetus' organs develop. The third trimester prepares the mother for labor by continuing asanas and adding relaxation poses. Practices include breathing, loosening, asanas, pranayama, meditation, and techniques for labor and postpartum.
Makalla swashakoshada tondare
Breathing problems are very common in children, usually due to viral infections like coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma. For mild to moderate issues, keeping the child comfortable with warmth, hydration and paracetamol is usually sufficient. More severe symptoms like rapid breathing, fever and not drinking require medical attention. Proper treatment depends on assessing the specific problem, age of the child and response to initial treatments like bronchodilators and steroids.
Insulin resistance
Insulin resistance occurs when cells become insensitive to insulin and the body produces more insulin to help cells use glucose. A diet high in carbohydrates can cause this over time. Insulin resistance leads the body to store sugar as fat rather than use it for energy, slowing metabolism. It also causes excessive insulin and glucose in the bloodstream, accelerating aging and increasing risks of diseases like heart disease. Symptoms include inability to lose weight despite dieting, fatigue, and health issues related to high blood sugar, cholesterol, or blood pressure.
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) in children
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in infants and children and refers to the involuntary passage of gastric contents into the esophagus. GER becomes GERD when it causes symptoms or complications. Common symptoms in infants include frequent vomiting, irritability, and failure to thrive. Diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms and history, though tests like pH probes and endoscopy may be used in some cases. Treatment focuses on positioning, thickening feeds, medications, and rarely surgery to reinforce the antireflux barrier.
Breast feeding
The document discusses common myths and barriers about breastfeeding. It asserts that nearly all mothers can produce enough breast milk as long as they breastfeed often, stay hydrated, and eat a nutritious diet. Breast milk alone provides all the nutrients babies need and does not cause illnesses like diarrhea. The barriers to breastfeeding mentioned include tiredness, concerns about passing on illness, lack of knowledge, and perceptions that it takes too much time away from work.
Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body like the arms and legs. It is caused by antibodies that block or reduce acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, which prevents the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. Common symptoms include drooping eyelids, blurred or double vision, difficulty in chewing, swallowing, and speaking clearly, and weakness in the arms, legs, and neck.
