Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj is truly one of the most astounding human beings to have graced this planet in the last century. His contribution to the growth and development of Yoga in modern times is significant and it reenergised the true spirit of Yoga worldwide. This book lovingly compiled by one of his dear students, Yogacharya Dr. Alan Davis of the UK, enables the reader to understand the grand unified perspective, the “Yoga Dristhi” of the Yoga Maharishi that may be best defined in Pujya Swamiji’s own words thus : “Yoga Dristhi implies a Unified Perception which encompasses all aspects of evolutionary life on this planet, and not just perceptions based on information fed to us through our sensual organs… Perception also involves right knowledge, intuitive insight and proper judgement to qualify under Yoga Dristhi.” May this book stimulate us all to delve deeper in to our Yoga Sadhana thus enabling us to grow and glow with the true eternal spirit of Yoga, the Mother of all Sciences.

THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF MEDITATION

Yogacharya AB Bhavanani

Scientific research in recent times has shown that the physiological, psychological and biochemical effects of yoga and meditation are of an anti-stress nature. Streeter et al suggested that yoga-based practices i) correct under activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and GABA systems in part through stimulation of the vagus nerves, the main peripheral pathway of the parasympathetic nervous system, and ii) reduce allostatic load. Other RCTs have suggested that these practices act on hypothalamic– pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) axis to reduce cortisol levels, and reduce sympathetic tone while increasing vagal activity. This suggest great therapeutic potential as an add-on adjunct to conventional therapies in prevention, management and rehabilitation of psychosomatic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, bronchial asthma, musculoskeletal disorders, depression, anxiety, cancer and de-addiction programmes and post-traumatic stress disorders. According to a recent mini-review by Innes & Selfe (Frontiers in Psychiatry2014): Meditation reduces perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, enhances quality of life, decreases sleep disturbance, improves several domains of cognition, reduces sympathetic activation and enhances cardio-vagal tone, both acutely and long term in clinical as well as non-clinical populations. Meditation promotes beneficial changes in CNS dopaminergic and other neurochemical systems, increases blood flow, O2 delivery, and glucose utilization in specific regions of the brain associated with mood elevation, memory, and attentional processing, including the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate gyrus. Long-term meditation practice is associated with cortical thickening & increased gray matter volume in brain regions involved in attentional performance, sensory processing & intero-ception apparently offsetting typical age-related cortical thinning and gray matter loss. Meditation programs can enhance immune response and clinical outcomes, reduce BP, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, oxidative stress, inflammation and other related risk indices.

Yogacharya AB Bhavanani

UNDERSTANDING THE YOGA DARSHAN (An exploration of the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patanjali) Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani The yoga tradition is pan-universal and para-universal in its perspective. In this ancient art and science of right living, reverence is one of the most important qualities required in any sincere aspirant. Without reverence it is difficult to value “that” which we have and “that” which we have been given. It is difficult to understand how blessed we are if we choose not to realize it. The shat darshan are not just mere, philosophical perspectives of the dynamic universe but are a reverential witnessing of the Divine Universal Nature. All aspects of yoga are sacred, not in a limited religious sense but in an unlimited spiritual one. All aspects of yoga need to be respected. It is only when we have such an attitude of respectful love, profound interest, that we can become a yoga bhakta. Then, and then only, will we be fit for these teachings of the highest nature. Any attempt to explore the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patañjali must spring from an attitude of respect, reverence and love for these teachings. If that is absent, then one may as well as be reading any common magazine or newspaper instead. The place, the time and the frame of mind will enable us to develop the right attitude, the universal beatitude towards these elevating teachings. This reverence would be completely lost if we choose to treat them like other mundane information or data. What attitude will you choose? The choice you make determines whether or not the treasure house of the Yoga Sutra opens its doors to you or not!

YOGA CHIKITSA: Application of Yoga as a THERAPY (Sample pages)

Yogacharya AB Bhavanani

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".

INDIAN APPROACHES TO SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY

Yogacharya AB Bhavanani

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.
