SHIVASWARODAY AN ANCIENT INDIAN SCIENCE: A STUDY OF NASAL OR NOSTRIL CYCLES AND ITS APPLICATIONS C D MARATHE1 & JAGDISH ACHARYA2 1Research Scholar, Satish Pradhan Dnyanasadhana College, Thane 400604, Maharashtra, India 2Research Scholar, Sadguru Academy, At and Post Panchwad, Taluka Wai, Dist. Satara, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Shivaswaroday Shastra also known as Nadi Shastra is an ancient Indian science that deals with the power of breath that correlates the breath with Sun, Moon and Five elements viz Space (Aakash), air (vayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Aap) and Earth (Prithvi) mentioned in Indian Yogic science. We inhale and exhale involuntarily and the process is governed by the autonomous nervous system. In our bodies, the right and left nostril do not function simultaneously. When consciously observed, it is noticed that the nasal/nostril cycle has a rhythm of congestion and decongestion with a quasiperiodic of 60 to 90 minutes duration. It means that if you observe your breath then you will notice that at a given time, any one nostril is more dominant and the other one relatively congested. This cycle of congestion and decongestion alternates and keeps changing every couple of hours. Also, during the transition period of this cycle, both nostrils may Article Original equally be dominant for a few minutes. In this article, we are trying to introduce the basics of this Nasal cycle and understanding its role in our life. KEYWORDS: Nadi, Ida, Pingala, Sushumna, Autonomic Nervous System Received: May 25, 2020; Accepted: Jun 15, 2020; Published: Jun 26, 2020; Paper Id.: IJMPERDJUN202099 INTRODUCTION The original manuscript of Shiva Swarodaya contains 395 sutras, many of which deal with Health, Wealth & Happiness and are a dialogue between Lord Shiva and his spouse Goddess Parvati. -

Principles and Methods of Yoga Practices
PRINCIPLES AND METHODS OF YOGA PRACTICES STUDY MATERIALS COMPILED AND EDITED BY Yogachemmal Sri G DAYANIDY and Smt REENA DAYANIDY Under guidance of Yogacharya Dr ANANDA BALAYOGI BHAVANANI M.B.B.S, A.D.Y, D.S.M, D.P.C, P.G.D.F.H, P.G.D.Y, F.I.A.Y CHAIRMAN INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR YOGA EDUCATION AND RESEARCH AND YOGANJALI NATYALAYAM PUDUCHERRY, SOUTH INDIA www.rishiculture.org and www.icyer.com YOGIC PRACTICES Yoga is a science of right living, and as such, it is intended to be incorporated in daily life. It works on all aspects of the person. – the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual levels. The word Yoga means “Unity” or “Oneness”. It is derived from the Sanskrit word YUJ which in spiritual terms mean the union of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. On a more practical level, yoga is a means of balancing & harmonizing the body, mind & emotions and this state need to be achieved before union with the higher reality takes place. Maharishi Patanjali In Yoga Sutras Maharishi Patanjali replies to the question of "What is yoga?" as, “Atha yoga anushasanam” - yoga is a form of discipline. The word for discipline in Sanskrit is anushasanam. The word Anu means 'atom', the most tiny and subtle one. We know the nature of an atom is invisible yet potent. Shasanam means 'to rule over' or 'to govern'. So, the concept of discipline in Yoga is a process in which we learn to govern the subtlest aspect, the unknown aspect of our own selves. -
