This symposium comes as a breath of fresh air New Delhi, March 4 Some of the presentations delivered by the international speakers, included those of Dr R Brown, Columbia University, New York, USA, on the possible biological basis for the psychophysical benefits of Paranyam practices; Dr S Sageman, Columbia University, New York, USA, on anxiety study at Lancaster violence alternative programme; Ms V Suarez, L A Unified School District, Los Angeles, USA, on the impact of Sudarshan Kriya on the somatic manifestations of marital adjustments in women; A Trampuz, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the effects of stress reduction and stress including techniques on the visual system. Scientists have recently discovered the connections between the body and mind, revealing that the emotional state and thought processes, not only affect the brain but also other systems of the body - specifically the endorcine system which manages the hormonal secretions, and the immune system, that protects us from a variety of diseases, including cancer. The body is highly adaptable and can easily tackle stressful situations. However, when the stress becomes chronic, physiological changes become irreversible and it becomes susceptible to diseases such as high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes and others. Stresses are perceived only when consciousness flows outwards, when the senses, mind and emotions are connected to the outside world and environment. However, when the consciousness turns inwards, and when senses, thoughts and emotions harmonise with the consciousness (a state of ‘pure’ consciousness), then stresses are not perceived, irrespective of our surroundings. Recipient of many national awards and the main force behind the symposium, Dr Vinod Kochupilli, Chief IRCH, AIIMS, said, “Many relaxation techniques have been developed and are used to prevent or alter our reactions to stress. While we shall be discussing these issues in greater detail in the symposium, we also wish to take you beyond the mind-body connections, to consciousness itself, the very source of our emotions, thoughts and body physiology.” “We believe it is possible to do this through breathing processes such as Pranayam. Sudarshan Kriya Pranayam is an ancient knowledge. Its practice directs or regulates our ‘prana’ - the subtle life force energy. If practised regularly, this process activates and harmonises various body and mind activities, including brain rhythm, heart beat, enzymatie rhythm, mental and emotional rhythms,” she added. Sudarshan Kriya - the rhythmic breathing process - recently introduced by The Art of Living Foundation and Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth, is a process which transports you to your very source - ‘pure’ consciousness. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had stated that breath and mind are linked, like body and mind. Breath sorts out the imbalances in the mind and body. It’s the secret of life we have forgotten. The doctors and scientists from the USA, Solvenia, South Africa, Israel, India and other countries, presenting their Research, have worked on the hypothesis that if there are indeed, two different states of consciousness - one flowing outwards, connected to senses and to the outer world and the other flowing inwards, harmonised with emotions, thoughts and the body — then the body physiology in these two states must be different. Objective differences in the body’s physiology in these two different states of consciousness have been validated by studying physiological and biochemical parameters pertaining to brain, endocrine system, immune system and other body defences, before the practice of Sudarshan Kriya and afterwards. The studies have also been conducted to see the long-term effects of Sudarshan Kriya on the state of consciousness. The effects of Sudarshan Kriya have been studied on those suffering from diseases like cancer, AIDS, depression and many more. The symposium has been organised to work as a platform for discussion on scientific works, generation of ideas for future research and for the development of national and international projects. |

The Assam team have collected three points from one match while Hindustan, who had beaten Uttar Pradesh Police by 4-1, have three points from two matches.
