Abstract:
Abstract Background and Objectives Despite the easy acceptability and holistic nature of Kriya yoga, there are no studies evaluating the role of Kriya yoga intervention on depression. The objective of the current study was to assess the feasibility and effect of adjunctive Kriya yoga on depression. Methods Patients with major depressive disorder who opted for Kriya yoga were recruited into the intervention group (adjunctive Kriya yoga) and those on psychotropic medication alone were enrolled into the control group. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) measurements were recorded at baseline, end of 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Results HDRS scores of the intervention group (n = 29) were found to be significantly lesser than that of the control group (n = 52) by the end of 2, 4, and 8 weeks. The remission rate was also significantly greater in the intervention group. Conclusion Kriya yoga intervention was found to be feasible, as well as improved the severity of depression.

Abstract:
“Health for All” is the goal promoted since 1977 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Stresses of modern living and work life have induced several symptoms of psychopathology among people from various walks of life. Consequences of stress affects people psychologically, physiologically and behaviorally which adversely affects their work-life balance. The Sudharshan Kriya Pranayama of the ‘Art of Living’ center at Bengaluru, India is a potent and effective method to counterbalance the effects of stress and enhance wellness. An extremely unique yogic breathing practice is Sudharshan Kriya Yoga which involves various kinds of breathing patterns that alternate between slow and relaxing to quick and stimulating. One hundred senior officers of the Government of India of different Ministries / Departments participated in the experiential learning workshop at the Art of Living centre at Bengaluru for the programme ‘Building Competencies for Personal Excellence’ in 2021. The participants practiced the Sudharshan Kriya Yoga for about two months. The feedback from the officers were collected and the same were analysed. It was seen that due to the practice of Sudharshan Kriya Yoga the heightened flow of energy between the mind and the body led to stress reduction and wellness among the senior government officers. Through the practice of Sudharshan Kriya Yoga the RSA (Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia) was enhanced by calming down the participants. Other notable impacts of Susharshan Kriya are better sleep quality, trauma reduction and cortisol (stress hormone) regulation in the body. The participants were less reactive to provocation and there were fewer instances of anger outbursts. Cognitive functioning was enhanced which led to a balanced approach to social and interpersonal relationships leading to better coping with occupational stress, greater subjective well-being, increase in wellness and better adaptation to the pressures and stressors of life.

Abstract:
Background: Human eye captures light rays as they come and fall on the retina and convert them into an image. However, in myopia, light rays fall in front of retina, causing blurring of image. Correction of this is generally done using correcting devices such as corrective glasses and contact lenses. Existence of some alternative therapies is also noticed in literature. Aim: To compare the effects of Bates eye exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya on myopia. Materials and Methodology: Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution, and informed consent was taken from participants. In this randomized comparative study, 24 participants (48 eyes) were taken based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into two groups: Group A and Group B, where Bates eye exercise therapy and Trataka Yoga Kriya were given, respectively, for 8 weeks. Participants were assessed for their refractive errors and visual acuity pre- and post-intervention. Results: Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results obtained revealed that both Bates exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya were not significantly effective in reducing refractive errors and in improving visual acuity (P value of refractive error in right eye: 0.4250; left eye: 0.4596; P value of visual acuity in right eye: 0.5691; left eye: 0.8952). Conclusion: This study concludes that nonpharmacological approaches such as eye exercises and Trataka Yoga Kriya are not significant on myopia.

Abstract:
Yoga as an ancient science can help people live a long and healthy life. This science has now become in-creasingly popular in many countries. There are several health conditions that can be cured or at least alle-viated to a great extent, through the practice of this science. Yoga includes Asana, Pranayam and exercises that can help body, immunity, increase strength, weight loss, remove stress and relief from pains, infections and disorders. Some of the various yoga poses and techniques can be used to cure numerous conditions ranging from nasal polyps to cancer. Since a sinus infection is one of the most common respiratory ail-ments that people suffer from, it is only common for them to use natural practices to cure this condition. Yoga practice, which is known as Jala neti or Sutra neti, i.e., cleansing of nasal cavity, throat can help re-duce the pain and discomfort due to sinusitis, within a shorter period of time. These procedures are known as Neti kriya. Neti kriya is an integral part of shatkarmas / the six cleansing techniques that form the most important aspect of hatha yoga. Neti helps in preventing and managing upper respiratory tract diseases. An attempt is being made to collect and review articles that highlight the therapeutic effects of neti kriya. Data-bases like Pub Med (January 1980–April 2016), Scopus and Ayush Portal were searched. We used key-words like jala neti, neti kriya, neti combined with terms such as yoga, sinusitis, rhinitis, common cold, vision, snoring, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and mental health for the search. As only a few results were obtained, we reviewed relevant studies with saline nasal irrigation. Evidence emerging from this review suggests that neti offers manifold benefits and relief from the antibiotic grip. Most studies support the role of neti in treating sinusitis, rhino sinusitis, and allergic conditions and in improving vision. Jala neti has a significant role in improving the presence of mind and intelligence.

Abstract:
Yoga is a part and parcel of spirituality. There are several yogas and a number of schools of thought. Yoga definitely provides health. But peace of mind should include health. There are different kinds of yoga namely, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, raja yoga, kriya yoga, Kundalini yoga etc. The prime purpose of all of this yoga is the attainment of liberation for the sadhakas and sadhikas. The various spiritual practices formulated and introduced by our Seers consist of controlling the mind and strengthening the body. But the problematic problem is it is VERY difficult to calm and tame the mind. One can guarantee for the body built and it is impossible to answer in positive for mind control. Till this day, the current mind control yogic and other practices require LONG PERIOD of time. So far, no ways and means have been put forward for RAPID RESULTS. In this work, the author confidently proposes quick result oriented three EASY types of breathing techniques without any side effects and pains. In this work, the author unlocks the hidden treasures of mysteries of 32000 years old Tamil Lemurrian yoga.

Abstract:
Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects dynamic variation in sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system (SNS and PNS) activity. The parasympathetic vagus nerve is responsible for HRV between 0.12 and 0.4 Hz, which is thought to index the capacity for effective coping, and is linked to physical and emotional well-being. Yogic breathing to increase vagal activity is often paced below 0.12 Hz (< 7.2 breaths per minute (BrPM)), where its impact HRV can be due to both sympathetic and parasympathetic mechanisms. Five healthy volunteers completed three pharmacological blockade sessions (placebo, sympathetic blockade with Esmolol, and parasympathetic blockade with Glycopyrrolate) about 48 hours apart, and during each session completed 11 Sudarshan Kriya Yogic breathing exercises at 4-9 BrPM. HRV was the lowest under Glycopyrrolate (p < 0.001), and there was no significant difference between placebo and sympathetic blockade with Esmolol. In addition, the spectral power of specific HRV frequencies was greatest at similar frequencies of breathing, a pattern prevented only by Glycopyrrolate. These findings suggest that heart rate is vagally influenced at all breathing rates, and that the SNS is not the mechanism by which slow breathing increases HRV.

Abstract:
I denna uppsats har en religionspsykologisk tolkning av Paramahansa Yoganandas personlighetsutveckling utförts. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att från ett jungianskt perspektiv få en ökad förståelse för Paramahansa Yoganandas personlighetsutveckling genom en hermeneutisk analys.    Den genomgående tanken med uppsatsarbetet har varit att undersöka Paramahansa Yoganandas personlighetsutveckling, enbart via Self-Realization Fellowships skrifter, och sedan analysera materialet genom den hermeneutiska metoden och med hjälp av den analytiska psykologin som teoretiskt ramverk.    Tolkningen av Yoganandas personlighetsutveckling, enligt Jungs teori om individuationsprocessen, visar att Yogananda förefaller som en av de få människor som lyckats genomföra och fullborda individuationsprocessen och uppnå självförverkligande.    Vidare visar även undersökningen och tolkningen att det förefaller finnas ytterligare ett lager utöver Självet som Yogananda kallar ”The Cosmic Consciousness” vilket Yogananda uppnått via sin guru Sri Yukteswar och som Yogananda gav, under sin levnadstid, vidare via Kriya Yoga och som Yogananda fortsätter att ge vidare ännu idag via organisationen Self-Realization Fellowship som Yogananda själv grundade 1920.    Slutligen visar tolkningen av Yoganandas personlighetsutveckling att den individuella individuationens uttryck är väldigt komplex och mångdimensionell men bottnar i ett och samma starka behov hos den individuella individen att utforma en egen livsåskådning som skänker helhet och varaktig mening och lycka, inte endast i livet som stort utan även i det vardagliga livet.

Depression is a common and dangerous disorder at present. Current antidepressant methods have limitations and side effects. It is in urgent to develop novel, safe, acceptable and feasible antidepressant methods. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key molecule in the neurotrophic hypothesis of depression in the recent decade. Increase of BDNF levels in the brain and serum seems to relate to antidepressive treatements in animal models and human subjects. Sudarshan Kriya yoga (SKY) breathing is a novel and natural antidepressant method with little side effect. The molecular mechanisms, however, are unknown. This study hypothesized that modulation of serum BDNF levels is one of the antidepressant effects of SKY. Four 6-day SKY courses were organized and three months of practices were followed. Fifty-seven normal subjects and nine depressed subjects were recruited. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores were evaluated and blood samples were collected before and after the SKY courses, and at 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks. Results revealed that (1) BDI scores significantly decreased after the 6-day SKY courses, and the decrease maintained for 12 weeks; (2) Increase of serum BDNF levels were not observed in most subjects, only in subjects whose BDI scores were higher than 9 before the course; (3) Percent changes of serum BDNF levels after the courses were negatively correlated with serum BDNF levels before the course, indicating the normalization effects of the SKY courses; (4) Normalization of serum BDNF after the SKY courses is correlated to BDI scores before the course; (5) Normalization was also observed after one episode of the SKY group practice; (6) One episode of SKY group practice increase serum BDNF levels but decrease serum cortisol levels. Increase of serum BDNF levels sustained for at least 4 fours and was not due to the circadian rhythm. It is concluded that the intervention of SKY courses and practices has profound antidepressant effects and the effects are highly correlated with its function in normalization of serum BDNF levels.

Suffering from breast cancer is a devastating impact for women. Anxiety, fear, depression, and uncertainty are prevalent, and secretion of stress hormones, like cortisol, is increasing. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) is a special kind of breathing technique which includes Yoga stretch, Ujjayi breathing, Bhastrika breathing and the core technique Sudarshan Kriya. Regular SKY practice not only relieves depression, but also decreases serum cortisol levels. In this study, we proposed that psychological health will be improved and serum cortisol levels will be decreased after the SKY training course and regular practice of SKY in breast cancer women. Subjects were divided into two groups: breast cancer subjects without SKY (BC, n=21), and breast cancer subjects with SKY (BS, n=25). Psychological health questionnaires were self-evaluated and blood samples were collected at 4 time points, pre-SKY training (T0), post-SKY training (T1), the first month (T2), and the third month (T3) after the SKY training courses. The frequency of daily SKY practice at home was ~6 times/week and follow-up group practice of SKY was ~6 times/12 weeks, suggesting that women with breast cancer were able to practice SKY regularly, especially in the first two months. In the BS group, State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) scores decreased at T1, T3 and Trait Anxiety Inventory scores decreased at T1, T2, and T3. Resilience Scale increased at T1. The total Mental Adjustment to Cancer scores increased at T1 and T2, especially in the domains of “Hopeless”, “Positive”, and “Anxious”. The total scores of Quality of Life increased at T2, especially in the domains of “Physical”, “Psychological”, and “Environment”. In the BC group, SAI and TAI scores decreased at T3, but no changes of the other psychological questionnaires. Serum cortisol levels significantly decreased at T2 in BSs, but not in BC. Decrease of serum cortisol level is correlated with the decrease of SAI scores and with the increase of MAC scores throughout the 3-month of regular practice. This study indicates that SKY is feasible for breast cancer women. The SKY training course and regular SKY practice reduce the time to improve anxiety, to increase mental adjustment to cancer, resilience and the quality of life and to decrease of serum cortisol levels.

Breathing is one of essential human behaviors. It can reflect different emotional expressions and is one of the strategies for manipulating autonomic tone and maintain emotion quality. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) is a breathing control intervention method. Studies have demonstrated that SKY can improve negative affective sensation, such as depressive emotion, as well as improve cardiovascular function by increasing heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiac vagal tone. However, the neural mechanisms of which brain areas SKY may influence to change central and peripheral outcome on emotional releasing and autonomic activity are still unknown. In this study, forty-seven healthy participants who are beginners for SKY were recruited for finger pulse HRV analysis. Then fifteen experienced participants who practice SKY more than one month were recruited for resting state magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and photoplethysmographic (PPG) HRV analysis. Results showed that twelve brain regions increased and seven brain regions decreased their activity after SKY. Most of these brain regions located in the prefrontal cortex. Further analysis found that twenty brain regions correlated with HRV and SKY. Among them, anterior middle cingulate cortex (aMCC) was chosen as the seed region for functional connectivity analysis. Results showed that seven brain regions had positive and six brain regions had negative connectivity with aMCC after SKY practice. This study demonstrates that SKY not only increase HRV, but also change brain areas related with emotional regulation.

Sudarshan kriya yoga (SKY) consists of a unique yoga breathing technique which is practiced by more than tens of millions of people around the world. Regular practicing of SKY increases well-being and relieves emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. There are two versions of SKY practicing: weekly “long SKY” practicing in a group and daily “short SKY” practicing at home. Recent studies have found that long SKY increases vagal-mediated heart rate variability (HRV). However, whether short SKY has similar effects on HRV is unknown. Relief of negative emotions by SKY is probably related to the activity of amygdala, which is not only an emotional center, but also affects autonomic tone. We conjectured that short SKY practicing not only changes vagal-meditated HRV but also changes the activity of amygdala and its functional connectivity (FC) with other brain regions. In this study, we have recruited 25 healthy participants who had learned SKY and regularly practice at home or in a group. Each participant underwent two days of resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and photoplethysmographic (PPG) HRV analysis. On one day, short SKY for 35 minutes was practiced, and on the other day was 35 minutes of control video watching. Data were collected simultaneously for each participant immediately before and after interventions. HRV analysis results showed that short SKY but not video watching increased the root mean square of the successive differences (RMSSD), indicating that short SKY improves vagal-mediated HRV. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) of brain image analysis showed that the activity pattern after short SKY practicing was different from that after control video watching. Short SKY practicing especially increased the activity of the supramarginal gyrus, while the control group increased the activity of the visual cortex. However, the activity of the bilateral amygdala region did not change. FC analysis showed that if using bilateral amygdala as the seed region, FC between bilateral amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), FC between left amygdala with the supramarginal gyrus, and FC between right amygdala with the temporal gyrus were all increased after short SKY practicing, suggesting that FC between the amygdala and the mood-regulating brain area after short SKY practicing. Correlation analysis showed that changed RMSSD was positively correlated with changed FC between right amygdala and right insula; changed RMSSD was also positively correlated with FC between left amygdala and thalamus, and between left amygdala with right amygdala / parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) / pons after short SKY practicing. Furthermore, using thalamus as a seed region, positive correlation was also found between changed RMSSD and changed FC between thalamus and a big cluster which includes brainstem / prefrontal gyrus / striatum / insula / thalamus / cerebellum / PHG / superior temporal gyrus / precentral gyrus/ hippocampus / claustrum / left amygdala after short SKY practicing. However, all of these positive correlations were not found in control video watching. Overall, results from this study show that the short version of SKY not only improves the vagal tone, but also the activity of brain regions involved in emotional regulation. Increase of vagal tone is related to the FC of the amygdala to regions include thalamus and brainstem.

Sudarshan Kriya yoga (SKY) breathing is composed of a sequence of special breathing techniques including ujjayi, bhastrika, and Sudarshan Kriya. It has been reported that regular practice of SKY has antidepressant and stress-reducing effects. However, the effectiveness of SKY and the underlying mechanisms of improving psychological and physiological symptoms remain unknown. Many studies showed that serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels are low and plasma cortisol levels are high in depressed patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the psychological symptoms improved and whether the serum BDNF and cortisol levels changed after SKY training and regular practice. Recruited subjects were divided into four groups: depressed controls without SKY (DC, n = 13), depressed subjects with SKY (DS, n = 22), healthy controls without SKY (HC, n = 25), and healthy subjects with SKY (HS, n = 23). Daily SKY practice at home was self-reported and weekly group practice was arranged. Blood samples were collected and questionnaires were completed before and after the 6-day SKY training courses, and 1, 2, and 3 months later. Serum BDNF and cortisol levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosobent assay. Results showed that (1) Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores decreased in DS and HS, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) decreased in DS, HS, and DC, the Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI) scores changed, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score decreased in DS and HS, but not in HC; (2) the average concentration of serum cortisol levels decreased at 2 months in DS and increased at 1 and 2 months in DC; (3) BDNF slightly but not significantly increased after the 6-day SKY course and at 1 and 2 months in HS; (4) there was a negative correlation between the change of BDNF and the change of interpersonal sensitivity score of SCL-90 in depressed subjects. In conclusion, SKY is effective in improving psychological health. We also found the interpersonal sensitivity personality was negatively correlated to the change of BDNF in depressed subjects.

Abstract:
The epilogue narrates the developments and impact of Self-Realization Fellowship and Yogananda’s writings since his death in 1952, assessing his influence in the United States and around the world. A century after Yogananda came to the U.S. with his message of Kriya Yoga, and three quarters of a century after the Autobiography of a Yogi was released, yoga has become ubiquitous, while Hindu beliefs have become an integral part of the spiritual landscape. Yogananda ultimately succeeded in converting thousands of Americans during his lifetime. When he died in 1952, he was revered and worshipped—overwhelmingly by non-Indian Americans—as the very incarnation of deity. Since his departure, he has influenced many others around the world through his successor organization, the Self-Realization Fellowship, and other independent organizations—such as Ananda, founded by Kriyananda—that trace their lineage to him, as well through Autobiography of a Yogi and his other teachings. The Father of Yoga in the West nurtured religious offspring. Yogananda’s story is thus an indispensable element of the emergence of both contemporary yoga and modern American Hinduism

Abstract:
Agnisara Kriya is one of the shat kriya of yoga practices. The technique is, isotonic contraction and relaxation of abdominal muscles creating passive stretch for diaphragm during breath holding. The understanding and performance of such multi-tasking is difficult for the beginners’ and may lead to muscle catch or early fatigue or anaerobic injury if not practiced properly. Immediate changes like muscle catch, pain or intense tiredness can be recorded to make out the practitioner is beginner or advance. So, the minimum information like, physiological changes soon after the practice such as rise in heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), temperature, etc help to understand the internal health. Any physical practice by an advance yoga practitioners will be able to perform better than beginners. But, because of intense mitochondrial workload and circulation imbalances created, the physical, physiological and immune changes may lead to drastic damage. Hence, there is need to grade the performance for beginners and advance students separately. There is inadequate information on the methodology of Agnisara dhouti kriya practice. Present study focused on the division of teaching technique for beginners and advance practitioners to avoid over usage of organs and their progressive injury.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how mind/body practices such as yoga, tai chi, and various types of meditation mitigate the extensive negative biochemical effects of stress, which is a critically important yet underappreciated aspect of Alzheimer’s disease prevention. After reviewing research on Transcendental Meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction, the chapter highlights Kirtan Kriya, an easy, cost-effective yoga/meditation technique that requires only 12 minutes a day. Research reveals that Kirtan Kriya improves memory in patients with subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive decline, as well as highly stressed caregivers, all of whom are at increased risk for subsequent development of AD. The key “take-home message” of this chapter is that making a commitment to living a brain-healthy lifestyle, including mind/body practice, offers the only proven chance for aging free from Alzheimer’s disease.
