The ancient Indian culture that is a vibrant living culture to this day has a lot to offer us in every sphere of life. The spiritual, psychological and metaphysical concepts of the great Maharishis hold true even today and it is up to us to delve into them and reap the extraordinary benefits of psycho-physiological health, happiness as well as personal and social harmony. The Rishis were visionary seers who codified innumerable concepts that may be used to produce physically, emotionally and mentally healthy individuals who would be of value for the betterment of society at large. This paper takes a look at some of these concepts culled from our ancients that would be of great value to the development of the concepts of school psychology
The Indian culture is based on the understanding that each individual has different inherent potentialities that need to be cultivated for their ultimate manifest expression. This is found in both the educational and well as health systems as evidenced through the Shat Darshanas and the Chikitsa methods of Yoga and Ayurveda. There is no, “One size fits all” in the Indian approach to either education or health care.
Children are the future and it is important to help them manifest their inherent potential in a positive manner. In the Tamil language it is often said, “vilayum payir mulayileye theriyum” meaning thereby that the potential of the tree is seen in the tender shoots themselves. The educational process must create an environment in which the learning process blossoms from within by creating an environment furthering the positive educement of healthy values and character.
The Indian system of education was centered around the Guru Kula that literally means the, “Womb of the Master”. This was a mentor centric process similar to that seen in higher education with possibilities of one-to-one interaction on a regular basis. It was a 24-hour relationship based learning process where the Guru or mentor and the student lived in the same environment facilitating interaction at multiple levels that were not limited by time or place.
This was based on the principle of stimulating a yearning for the higher concepts of being, while learning the norms of natural living. The students developed themselves physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually during this period of intense study at the feet of the Master.
The 6th Foundation Day of CYTER, the Centre for Yoga Therapy, Education & Research in Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry was celebrated at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College & Research Institute on Tuesday, 2nd November 2016.
The theme of this year's celebration was "Introducing Yoga in Nursing Education" and was presided over by the Vice Chancellor of SBV, Prof KR Sethuraman in the presence of Prof N Ananthakrishnan, Dean Allied Health Sciences and Prof AR Srinivasan, Registrar SBV.

Prof N Ananthakrishnan, Prof AR Srinivasan, Yogacharini Vijaya from Gitananda Yoga Society of Berlin, Germany and Prof VN Mahalakshmi Vice Principal MGMC&RI offered felicitations.
CYTER's Director Prof Madanmohan welcomed the guests for the celebrations that were coordinated by Dr Meena Ramanathan and the CYTER Team led by Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani who proposed the vote of thanks.

Intersectoral coordination and and community participation is a key to success in health sector in India. This is a unique opportunity to play our role for better, healthy and happy society. One can enjoy and achieve the goals of health objectives through these techniques in the field/community setup.
Preparation to yogic breathing as well as some popular methods of yogic breathing (pranayama) are mentioned here, along with some additional health tips.
Yoga as a mode of therapy (Yoga Chikitsa) has become extremely popular and a great number of studies and systematic reviews offer scientific evidence of its potential in treating a wide range of psychosomatic conditions. Yoga understands health and well-being as a dynamic continuum of human nature and not merely a ‘state’ to be reached and maintained. Yoga helps the individual to establish sukha sthanam which may be defined as a dynamic sense of physical mental and spiritual well-being. .
This book is primarily an anthology of articles on Yoga and Yoga Therapy penned by Dr Ananda and others close to him that have appeared in various Yoga Journals worldwide in recent years. The aim of this collection is to stimulate and motivate Yoga enthusiasts and medical professionals alike to make an effort towards understanding the great depth and wide scope of Yoga chikitsa the application of Yoga as an integrative mode of therapy.
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".

Sattvic Diet - yoga teacher training course project work karuna yoga vidya pe...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
Abstract
Asana practice is often seen as the main element of yoga although it is only one part of all system. Yoga class may give the toned body but as always, optimal health is just as much about what is on the inside.
To function optimally in life, we have to take care not just of the physical body but also internal functioning and mental and spiritual state. All is deeply connected between each other.
Introduction
The word “Sattvic,” or “Sattvikam”, appears in many Hindu texts on Yoga, and is translated to “in the mode of goodness” in English. In the Srimad Bhagavad-gita’s Chapter 17, Text 7, it states that each food is placed into one of three categories, which coincide with the three modes of material nature: goodness (Sattva), passion (Rajas), and darkness (Tamas). In the following three texts (verses) it states the following: “Foods in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one's existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such nourishing foods are sweet, juicy, fattening, and palatable. Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, pungent, dry and hot, are liked by people in the modes of passion. Such foods cause pain, distress, and disease. Food cooked more than three hours before being eaten, which is tasteless, stale, putrid, decomposed and unclean, is food liked by people in the mode of ignorance.”
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient oriental discipline that emerged from mystical and philosophical concepts. Etymologically, yoga means to “add”, “join”, “unite” or “attach” (Sanskrit yoga) where the body (anga), mind (chitta), emotions and the soul (atma or atman).
Yoga is unification of mind through awareness during the practice, body through asanas and spirit through meditation and breath.
Yoga is a journey inward for self-discovery to bring harmony in all areas of life through body-mind connection. All Yogis can gain many benefits of yoga on and off the mat. Yoga is much more than twisting and bending body…
Definition of Yoga
Sage Patanjali defined Yoga as “To still the movement of the mind is Yoga”.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras define the eight limbs of Raja Yoga as:
1. Yamas: Guidelines for external discipline
2. Niyamas: Guidelines (duties) for internaldiscipline
3. Asanas: The practice of physical postures
4. Pranayama: The practice of breathing techniques to control prana (the vital force)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
