Mumbai, the Iswardas Chunilal Yogic Healthcare Centre, has gone through a major transformation in terms of repairs and renovation to the building and infrastructure. There’s now a new front office and administrative section, a well lit and soothing asana hall and an attractive publication section.
A second phase is also in the
‘pipeline’, as the Centre plans to start an Ayurvedic section where a number of these wonderful therapies will be made available in collaboration with the renowned Ayervedic physician, Dr Jagdish Bhutada. The working of the Centre has also been streamlined by the Review Committee which was chaired by Dr Naresh Chandra,
Former Pro Vice Chancellor of Mumbai University.
Around 600 people visit the Centre everyday to practice Yoga under medical guidance. Kaivalyadhama Mumbai has three asana halls, each measuring around 2000 sq ft and a special ladies hall
measuring around 4500 sq ft. There are a total of 20 teachers and five medical staff who look after members by tailoring individual programmes.
Come soon and sample our much healthier Healthcare Centre!
The recent past has seen accelerated activities in terms of promotion of Yoga by the departments of Government. The Department of AYUSH has started a campaign on
“Yoga for Mental Health” and is launching it nation- wide. Various other steps are planned to highlight the importance of Yoga in the process of developing positive mental health. Two institutes have been identified in each state wherein workshops will be conducted in these regards.
Under the same broad framework, special emphasis is being given to health in schools. The first step is to create a Yoga resource person in one school in each district in the Country. This task has been delegated to various national level Yoga institutes, including Kaivalyadhama, throughout the Country. Training under this scheme has already started and, as far as the State of Maharashtra is concerned, a report about it is can be found elsewhere in this newsletter. The State of Maharashtra has initiated a process to form a body or council which will register Yoga institutes and Yoga teachers. This is a process towards regulating and standardization and is a welcome step which will be achieved on schedule.
At the Institute, we have been preoccupied with many training programmes for school
teachers. The State Government has, rightly, felt the need for general orientation of the teachers in Yoga and have allowed teachers to choose to attend a 10-day orientation programme at the Institute. We have found this method to be very effective. In feedback from these schoolteachers, most are very interested in the systematic approach which Kaivalyadhama adopts and would like to undertake a longer course.
We are also taking steps on other fronts. The Institute’s website has been redesigned and we have already received very positive feedback from it. Our publication list has been reprinted and the Publications Committee has decided to do away with separate pricing in Dollars and Rupees, which means that all the Institute’s publications will be available at rupee pricing. The DVD’s of different lectures given by Sri O. P. Tiwari have been reproduced to international standards and will now be available in all leading stores across Mumbai as first step and then across India as a whole. The next few weeks will be an exceptionally busy time at Kaivalyadhama with preparations for the 6th International Conference in full swing as well as for the three pre-Conference Pranayama Courses just before. We sincerely hope we will still meet the expectations of our well-wishers.

State to
Regulate
Council of
Yoga
The State of Maharashtra, through the Directorate of Ayurveda (which will shortly be renamed the Directorate of AYUSH), has initiated a process of how it can reach a consensus on the formation of a body to standardize and regulate Yoga training programmes and regis- ter Yoga teachers and Yoga in- stitutes.
This agreement would be on the lines of Councils of various bodies such as medical council, Ayurveda council, etc. In a meeting held at Kaivalyadhama, Lonavla, at which representa- tives of various Yoga institutes were present, the first step for achieving this was taken. Among those present were Yogacharya Shrikrishna Vyahvare, Yogacharya Viswas Mandlik, Dr Mrs Desai and Ms Syama from Santacruz Yoga Institute, Dr Ulka Natu, Dr Deepak Phalgune from Pune University, Dr Damle from Yoga Vidya Dham, Pune and Sri Sabir Sheikh from Yoga Vidya Niketan. The meeting was chaired by Dr Kohli, Director of Ayurveda Directorate. Sri Subodh Tiwari, Kaivalya- dhama, was nominated as the Convener for future meetings.
Teachers get more than
they bargained for!
The Brhanmumbai Municipal Corporation sent two batches of physical education teachers, first from 2–22 July 2009 and second from 1–21 August 2009, to undergo a 21-day training programme in Yoga under the
scheme for Promotion of Yoga in Schools. This time, apart from the subject of Yoga, certain as- pects of health and physical edu- cation were also covered in the training.
Happy Moment
It is always a happy moment to welcome Government officials to the Institute, especially if they happen to be from a department which is directly connected with Kaivalyadhama’s field. The visit of Sri B. Anand, Joint Secretary at the AYUSH Department under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, was a courtesy
one, made in order to become better acquainted with Kaivalyadhama’s activities. He was shown various departments by Dr B. R. Sharma, Assistant Director of Research, together with College Principal, Sri R. S. Bhogal, and took keen interest in the sphere of the Institute’s work.
A workshop on “Yoga and Counselling” was held for personnel of the paramilitary forces from 17–30 August 2009, which was jointly organized by YUVA (Movement for Youth) and Kaivalya-dhama. The main
emphasis was to enhance the overall health of the participating personnel and to further define the programme in a scientific way so as to reach to a larger group. The workshop covered a wide range of subjects

including the foundation of Yoga, research in Yoga, Yoga as therapy, its psychological advantages together with its physiological benefits.

A ten-day orien- tation course was held for the pri- mary school teachers from the State of Maharashtra in the month of July. Teachers from various dis- tricts, such as B h a n d a r a , Dhule, Kolhapur, Y a w a t m a l , J a l g a o n , Aurangabad and Chandarpur par- ticipated in the t r a i n i n g programme.
Yogic Ethics
A meeting of the Institute’s Ethical Committee was held on 16 August 2009 under the chairmanship of Dr Ashok Kohlaskar, former Vice Chancellor of Pune University and a renowned scientist. Other members included Dr Narayan Desai PhD (scientist), Dr Prakash Agarwal MD, (clinician), Mrs Renuka Kotak, (an NGO Representative) and Mrs Sandhya Dixit (layperson). The committee approves research projects which have ethical considerations and is held by Kaivalyadhama for its scientific research as per the guidelines of the Indian Council
of Medical Research. Twelve projects were submitted for discussion.

Scientific Research
at Kaivalyadhama
Without Measure there can be no Efficacy
Ever since early in the twentieth century, Kaivalyadhama has been measuring the efficacy of every Yoga practice to establish which works best for regular practice, for improving health, in fact for all possible beneficial uses. This work has been carried out by one of the four specialist divisions at Kaivalyadhama, namely its Scien- tific Research Department (SRD), established by Swami Kuvalayananda in 1924. The SRD is not only the oldest such institute in the world but its great contribution to the knowledge and efficacy of Yoga remains unsurpassed. This work contin- ues to fulfil Kaivalyadhama’s original remit to forge a marriage between traditional Yoga and modern science for the benefit of humankind.
The work of the SRD is divided into a num- ber of disciplines and, since its beginnings, these have developed substantially by keeping pace with technological advances.
Since the advent of computers and digitalisation, the SRD has kept abreast of all related advances and, in fact, played a substan- tial role in developing unique and specialist equipment for the increasingly accurate measure of the efficacy of Yoga.
The success of the SRD falls squarely on the shoulders of its staff. Initially led by Swami Kuvalayananda himself, the Division is now di- rected by Swami Maheshananda who is sup- ported by a team of many expert staff members. Today the SRD benefits from being housed in its own buildings within the Kaivalyadhama Cam- pus at Lonavala, but it reaches out much further – to the University of Pune and beyond through its postgraduate teaching and publication of its many research findings.
Excellence in the Understanding of Yoga
The mission of Kaivalyadhama’s Scientific Research Department is to keep expanding the frontiers of Yoga, particularly with regards to human health and wellbeing. No stone is being left unturned in this endeavour. The Department has eight aims and objectives, which are as follows.
1. To investigate particular Yoga practices scientifically by using sophisticated methodology, equipment and techniques. Many disciplines are employed to achieve optimum results and these include: physiology, biochemistry, radiology, psychology, neuropsychology, physical education and allied means.
2. To develop methods which standardize the techniques of Yoga practices on the basis of thorough scientific investigation.
3. To critically study, analyse and review the vast literature on Yoga in order to comprehensively understand yogic concepts as they have been handed down through history. The purpose for this is that the correct, most authentic Yoga practices are used to facilitate full scientific investigations.
4. To collect all published scientific work on Yoga produced by Kaivalyadhama and other learned sources and to prepare abstracts, monographs and bibliographies on selected yogic practices.
5. To project and disseminate scientific information on Yoga through publications, by participating in conferences, and by organizing seminars and workshops.
6. To implement research findings in order to maintain state of the art theoretical and practice teachings at Kaivalyadhama’s G. S. College of Yoga & Cultural Synthesis and at the many Yoga camps and outreach events, throughout India, of the Institute.
7. To collaborate and co-ordinate with other Kaivalyadhama departments, together with other research institutions and agencies to facilitate the generation and promotion of scientific information relating to Yoga practices.
8. To spread the science-based knowledge of Yoga across the world for the benefit of humanity as a whole.
SRD’s Findings
make Yoga
more Beneficial
Yes. By knowing scientifically the detailed effects of Yoga practice it is possible to see clearly where Yoga is most beneficial and where it is less so. It is quite rare for Yoga not to be of help at all. This is the case for normal Yoga practice but it is also the case in terms of maintaining optimum health, that is where Yoga can relieve or cure ill health and where it may not be helpful in certain conditions. Kaivalyadhama’s SRD has a long history of identifying the benefits of Yoga and some of the highlights are described here.
ASANAS
Monitoring the heart rate, blood pressure and electromyogram of various asanas practised according to Patanjali’s principles has found that the practices can be maintained for a long period. If, however, Patanjali’s principles are not followed correctly, the same practices can result in increased muscle tension and heart rate.
KRIYAS
One of the many experiments shows that the duration of antarkumbhaka can be increased after practising kapalabhati, which indicates that the latter kriya can be practised safely for several minutes as compared to voluntary hyperventilation.
AUM RECITATION
After many tests it has become apparent that Aum recitation at a low pitch is more beneficial than at a high pitch. After EEG and other tests
were carried out, it was found that low pitch subjects experienced increased relaxation, inner awareness and peace with reduced psychomotor performance, whereas recitation at high pitch produced diametrically opposite findings.
REGULAR PRACTICE
Three-week daily Yoga practice in adults and school children has been found to significantly reduce body fat and cholesterol levels while improving physical fitness and behavioural patterns such as reducing anxieties and hostilities, and improving memory.
YOGA THERAPY
Bronchial Asthma: Tests on 160 asthmatics practising vastra dhauti in conjunction with relaxing asanas showed that 60% found the practice extremely helpful.
Diabetes: 80% of subjects with mild diabetes who practised relaxing asanas showed improvement after six weeks. Blood sugar reduced immediately after kapalabhati kriya in a separate experiment. Obesity: One month residential Yoga therapy has been found more beneficial when compared to non-residential and aerobic practising subjects. This was with regards to reductions in blood pressure, pulse rate, body fat percentage, weight and girth and increases in body strength. Arthritis and Spondylosis: Increases in benefits have been found among those receiving three to six months treatment.
More detailed information on the SRD can be found on the website.
UNDERSTANDING BODY AND MIND IN THE YOGIC WAY
Yoga has a comprehensive approach to the understanding of the human body. Yoga states that the universe is created consisting of the sentient and insentient from energy after forming five principal elements one from the other in successive order from subtle to gross. Yoga also emphasizes that when one element gives rise to the next in order, it is present in that element also. The five elements mentioned in Yoga are Akasha, Vayu, Agni, Jal and Prithvi and together constitute Prakriti (matter). Energy (Brahman) is never manifested except through the principal elements, which should be considered as different forms of energies and not the gross form as their names suggest. This energy is never static at one place: it is in continuous flux in all objects. The principal element has a special property of its own and the organs of sense provided in the body experience the movement of energy in the living body. As the elements are present in subsequent elements from subtle to gross, the property of that element is present in the subsequent element also. ELEMENT PROPERTIES
Akasha, space or sound energy, has the property of sound (Dhwani); Vayu, air or electrical energy, has the properties of sound and touch (Sparsha); Agni, fire or chemical energy, has the properties of sound, touch and vision; Jal, water or hydraulic energy, has the properties of sound, touch, vision and taste (Rasna); Prithvi, earth or mass energy, has the properties of sound, touch, vision, taste and smell.
Yoga not only mentions the organs of sense but also organs of action, which are useful to use the elements in the body. Western physiology also mentions sense organs (ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose) but not organs of action.
The organs of sense and of action similarly are: Akasha, sound (Dhwani), ears and tongue (Vani, speech); Vayu, touch (Sparsha), skin and hands; Agni, vision (Roop), eyes and feet; Jal, taste (Rasna), tongue and sex organs (instincts); and Prithvi, smell (Ganda), nose and anus (Gud) organs of excretion.
The Trishikha Brahmanopanishad (verses 134–140) describes the distribution of the principal elements in different parts of the body where they are predominant; it doesn’t indicate that the elements are not present in other parts of the body. The organs and systems mentioned in front of the elements are as understood in the present day.
A present-day interpretation of elements in the body is as follows. Akasha: head above the eyebrows, cerebral hemispheres, eyebrows to umbilicus; Vayu: spinal cord from the medula to the cord end, umbilicus to iliac crest; Agni: abdominal organs concerned with digestion, iliac crest to knees; Jal: organs involved in water balance, kidneys, colon, knees to feet; and Prithvi: tissue cells supporting internal organs involved in producing or distributing energy, skin and muscles of extremities, chest wall, and abdominal wall (front and back).
THREE STATES, THREE FORMS, THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS OF THE BODY REPRESENTED BY SYLLABLES OF
‘AUM’
The Mandukya Upanishad of only 12 verses describes the body as having three states, three forms and three levels of awareness which are represented by the syllables of ‘AUM’. Waking is the gross state (Vishwanara) – A; dream is the subtle state (Tejas) – U; and deep sleep (Sushupti) is the causal state (Pragnyam) – M.
Vishwanara awareness is of gross nature giving knowledge of gross forms of various parts of the

body constituting seven tissues: skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, bones, blood, nerves and blood containing all vital energy – vitamins, minerals, hormones and digested simple forms of food ingredients. There are 19 ‘places’ of experiencing the external universe – five pranas, five organs of sense, five organs of action, plus mind, intellect, Chitta and ego (Ahamkara).
The dream state should be understood as a state of contemplation. It is the revival of experiences had during the waking state, which are stored in different areas of the brain and which get stimulated by the mind – Pravivikta Bhuk – Tejas Awareness. The dream state has seven tissues and 19 mouths or areas of appreciation, but in minute form. It also indicates constant activity in the cells at the subtle level and represents the ‘U’ of AUM.
The causal form is to be understood as genes
or chromosomes of the present day and comes into activity during deep sleep when cells are not active. Its awareness is called Pragnya and is involved in carrying out repair and replacement of ingredients used by the cells during the waking or contemplation state. Rapid eye movements are present two or three times during sleep lasting for 20 minutes. Eye movements as if indicate activity to identify the neurons which need repair or replacement of used-up ingredients. Deep sleep is therefore essential for health and freshness. It is represented by the letter ‘M’ of AUM. The name
‘causal’ is precise as it is responsible for forming the body in both the gross and subtle. The Mandukya Upanishad also mentions a fourth level of awareness – Turiya – which is not normally experienced but advises the individual to make efforts to experience this inner energy (Atman) within oneself.

The Government’s Depart- ment of AYUSH through the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY) have per- ceived a scheme whereby Yoga can be introduced in schools. The plan of action included identification of one school- teacher in each State district and then training them for one month at designated Yoga insti- tutes.
Five national level institutes were identified to execute this scheme, including Kaivalya-

dhama. States have been se- lected according to the capabili- ties and infrastructure of the rel- evant institute. In a meeting held at MDNIY chaired by Sri S.
K. Panda, Joint Secretary AYUSH, Yoga experts met and discussed the details of execut- ing the scheme. A full day was also devoted to the module’s formulation which will be taught to teachers in the month- long training period.
This is an innovative scheme and Kaivalyadhama hopes that
it can contribute in creating awareness of Yoga in schools and so also ensure that practice of Yoga is implemented.
In the next training programme we will cover the States of Goa, Assam, Daman- Diu, Lakswadweep and Meghalay. After this, Kaivalya- dhama will mount a training programme for Madhyapradesh and Chattis-garh States at our Centre at Bhopal
Sri O. P. Tiwari. This course is being held with the affiliate Institute, YogaYogi, in China. An official translator will be
deputed by the Institute. The details are available on the website www.yogiyoga.cn
More and more and more!
Kaivalyadhama has been en- gaged in producing specially designed training programmes for the Navoday Schools which have been in progress for the past five years. So far, training for 120 schools has been com- pleted involving around 44,000
students and 2,000 teachers. A further 20 schools were selected this year for Yoga training.
A workshop for the Princi- pals of the selected schools was held 29 July to 1 August 2009 at Kaivalyadhama, Lonavla. These workshops gave the Prin-
cipals an idea about Yoga in a comprehensive manner. While they were here, they were also exposed to the practical aspect of Yoga, scientific research car- ried out with special focus on school children and the textual foundations of Yoga.
