Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's talk for the World Yoga Festival 2020 Sunday afternoon sessions held on 19 July 2020 .
Yoga is the original mind body medicine and is one of the greatest treasures of the unique Indian cultural heritage. As both an art and science it has a lot to offer humankind in terms of an understanding of both the human mind as well as all aspects of our multilayered existence. Yogic lifestyle, Yogic diet, Yogic attitudes and various Yogic practices help man to strengthen himself and develop positive health thus enabling him to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing it effectively through various practices. Yoga is truly a wholesome and integral science of life that deals with multidimensional aspects of health in both the individual and society.
Yoga helps us to take the appropriate attitude towards our challenges and thus tackle them effectively and efficiently. “To have the will (iccha shakti) to change (kriya shakti) that which can be changed, the strength to accept that which cannot be changed, and the wisdom (jnana shakti) to know the difference” is the attitude that needs to the cultivated. An attitude of letting go of the worries, the problems and a greater understanding of our mental process helps to create a harmony in our body, and mind whose disharmony is the main cause of ‘aadi – vyadhi’ or psychosomatic disorders.
“Health and happiness are your birthright, claim them and develop them to your maximum potential” (Giri, 1995). This message of Swamiji Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj is a firm reminder that the goal of human existence is not health and happiness but is moksha (liberation). Most people today are so busy trying to find health and happiness that they forget why they are here in the first place. Yoga is the best way for us to regain our birthrights and attain the goal of our human existence.

Managing and suppressing the manifest symptoms with Yoga techniques is just as good or bad as modern allopathic medicine that focuses primarily on symptomatic management without ever getting close to the real cause of most disorders. In this talk, Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani will explore the need to address the primary cause of the problem followed by symptomatic management without which it could merely be Yogopathy.

Yoga as Therapy: Synthesis of Traditional Wisdom with Modern Scientific Knowl...Yogacharya AB Bhavanani
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani 's invited plenary presentation on "Yoga as Therapy: Synthesis of Traditional Wisdom with Modern Scientific Knowledge" at the 9th International Conference, "Yoga as Therapy: scope, evidence and evolution" organised by and at Kaivalyadhama, Lonavla, India from 27-30 December 2018.
Yoga is an ancient heritage of India spreading rapidly and being practiced by millions across the globe. It offers a broader perspective of life and refines the personality thus enabling practitioners to attain their inherent potential in a holistic manner. Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life. Numerous physical and mental techniques such as asana, pranayama, dharana and dhyana enable the attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness. This facilitates a skillful and efficient management of omnipresent stressors.
Get ready for a “Yoga Break” in your busy office schedule. All we need is a chair and YOU. The session of ‘Office Yoga’ will consist of loosening and energizing jathis along with kriyas for psychosomatic harmony, asanas for healthy body posture, energizing mudras, pranayamas to overcome emotional and mental stress, relaxing your body and mind, developing an inner quietness with meditative sitting with the use the sound of “Shanti”, meaning “Peace” and repeat “Shanti” in your mind’s eye as a positive repetition.
Yoga is a way of life and is a process of “conscious evolution”. Be an example of that in your own life.
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's Keynote at the SYTAR 2018, IAYT’s annual membership conference dedicated entirely to professional education, research, practice, and policy issues for yoga therapy. This is the premier conference for the field of yoga therapy.
Loving feedback from eminent personalities of the Yoga therapy field included :
“The best Keynote of SYTAR’s history.”- Dilip Sarkar
“I believe Ananda’s keynote marks an historic and pivotal moment in the evolution of IAYT. Absolutely the highlight of this years event and a genuine and heartfelt standing ovation by a very moved audience. The distinction between yoga Therapy and “yogopathy” was priceless.- Michael Lee
“ Dr Ananda Bhavanani was a high light of SYTAR 2018 for me. I hope to hear more from him at future conferences.”- Linda S Varnam
“ Yes - he brought the room of 500 yoga therapists to their feet in ovation.” -Lee Majewski
“He is the "real thing, being." Wonderful to experience!”- Eleanor Criswell
Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It is imperative that advances in medicine include the wholistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.
Lifestyle is the way people live and this has immense influence on the status of health or disease. Since one’s lifestyle is developed early in life, it is advisable to cultivate healthy lifestyle in early childhood. Many factors determine one’s lifestyle. Economic status determines incidence of under-nutrition in poor and obesity in the rich. Cultural values of the society dictate the dietary preferences in the population. Sedentary life is a major factor for coronary artery disease while personal habits like smoking and alcoholism determine the incidence of heart disease and cirrhosis of liver. Exercise, healthy diet and rest and relaxation are important components of lifestyle.
Yoga is the most perfect lifestyle module as it is comprehensive and holistic in its nature. Yogic lifestyle including diet, attitudes and various techniques help strengthen and develop positive health thus enabling us to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing the pent up stress effectively through various Yogic practices. Yoga is a wholistic and integral science of life dealing with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the individual and society.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

13. YOGIC CONCEPT OF MIND
There are four Anthahkarana (inner instruments):
– Manas – the thinking part : Mind
– Chitta – the storing part : Memory
– Buddhi – the deciding part : Intellect
– Ahamkaara – the controlling part : Ego
- Respect the brain – it is Divine.
- Don’t turn your brain into a trash-basket.
- Defragment / re-format now and then!
14. “Neurons that fire together, wire
together”
• Yoga emphasizes abhyasa, the regularity, rhythm
and repetition in one’s dedicated practice.
• When we mindfully and consciously perform
techniques of Yoga repeatedly, we create neural
pathways that get stronger & stronger with time.
• “You lose that which you don’t use” was a
familiar statement made by Dr. Swami Gitananda
Giri, the visionary codifier of the Rishiculture
Ashtanga Yoga tradition in Pondicherry.
17. Super Brain Yoga ?
• A series of recent studies published in Science and
the Journal of Neuroscience have shown that exercise
can stimulate generation of new brain cells—and that
the cells can migrate from one area of brain to another.
• “This is evidence that you can move beyond molding
and shaping the mind: You can literally create a new
brain,” -Dr Satbir Khalsa of Harvard, USA.
• He even goes to the extent of saying “It’s beyond
neuroplasticity. It’s neurogenesis.”
18. Where the mind goes,
there the energy flows!
You can use your mind
to change your brain
to change your mind for the better.
This is self-directed neuroplasticity.
19. Inhale through nose as you come up
Exhale through mouth as you sit down
Repackaging ancient wisdom!

• Attention is like a spotlight, illuminating what
it rests upon.
• Like a vacuum cleaner, it draws ideas into the
field of focused awareness thus utilizing areas
of the brain- enabling neuroplasticity.
• Directing attention skillfully - the essence of
mindfulness - is therefore a fundamental way
to shape the brain, and one’s life over time.
