So, in that sense, creation of Vayu is well or an extension of Bramhavada or srushtivada taken care of in this particular Adhikarana. In which go hand in hand. When we know this order, Vayu is created. Bramhanas ‘almighty, omnipotent, omniscient, all permeating, all-pervading’; based on this Prana is never set off, even for a moment we particular acceptance one goes for expansion cannot imagine being without Vayu.

In this context, nature is not an alien idea. the concept must be understood of Matarishva as presented by Veda Vyasa. ‘Prana Shakti’ Prashna Upanishad says ‘Pranasyedam- all-pervading vital force is indicated by this vashesarvam’, all pervading subtle vital force as particular word ‘Matarishva’, so some rules said by the Vedas is ANASTAMITA (never set which are applicable to space or ‘Akash’ are also off). Purest form of Vayu is Matarishva; divine applicable to Vayu for its subtlety. form of all pervading Prana shakti is presented by Bhashyakara in this Adhikarana. Modern science opines that space is confined by a wall, Vayu is also confined by many frameworks. to be continued...

2018 Yoga Sudha Arogyadhama Success Stories

Section A - Neurology & Oncology

After knocking on the door of several doctors for help since almost 5 years Mrs. Bharati (name changed) came to our Arogyadhama with four health related problems: Tremors in both hands, right side hemianopia (blindness in one- half of the visual field of one or both eyes), right knee pain and difficulty in standing from sitting position. Fortunately, her stroke had left behind minimal residual symptoms.

During her three-week stay with us she underwent yoga practices based on our Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy. A special yoga module prepared for neurological ailments in our campus based on yoga research was applied to her. Along with this she underwent other treatments in Ayurveda, naturopathy, physiotherapy and acupuncture. There were counselling sessions to sublimate her inner emotions and stress levels. Part of her schedule was the cleansing procedures, called kriyas, to cleanse her system completely twice a week.

Her schedule would start at 5:30 am with pranayama and meditation and continued till 7:30 pm. Her daily schedule included special techniques designed according to her ailment (asana, loosening exercises, relaxation techniques, pranayama, lectures, cyclic meditation, trataka, mind sound resonance technic (MSRT) and pranic energisation technic (PET). Her parameters were monitored on a daily basis for improvements.

Within 2 weeks her tremors and knee pain was markedly reduced and she reported there was around 75% improvement in standing up from sitting position. At the time of her discharge after 3 weeks, she reported 90% improvement in tremors in her hands, knee pain, and improved bowel and bladder functions.

Section E - Spinal Disorder

When the 28-year-old young lady came to Arogyadhama in Sept 2013 she was suffering from back pain and bilateral sacroiliitis since four months. Sacroiliitis is an inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints — the places where your lower spine and pelvis connect. Sacroiliitis can cause pain in your buttocks or lower back and may even extend down one or both legs. For Lalita (name changed) the problem started with a severe low back pain two months earlier. It was a case of slip disc.

Following physiotherapy her pain decreased and she went back to work. But two weeks later the pain returned and this time, it was severe and she could not walk at all. Degenerative arthritis changes were seen within bilateral sacroiliac joints. However, no significant abnormality was noted in hip joints. A three phase bone scan revealed an increase in osteoblastic activity in the bilateral sacroiliac joint. She had a history of a miscarriage in March 2013 and pancreatitis in 2004 when she had severe pain for a year. The diagnosis was sacroilitis.

During her three- week-long stay at Arogyadhama, she underwent various yoga practices based on Integrated Approach to Yoga Therapy

2220 Yoga Sudha which comprised a special yoga module designed specifically to relax, strengthen and make the person more flexible at the level of body and mind to achieve total wellbeing. Counselling sessions were arranged to calm her disturbed emotions and control her stress levels. There were biweekly cleansing procedures called kriyas to cleanse her system completely.

Her schedule used to start at 5:30 am with pranayama and meditation followed by various activities that continued till 7:30 pm. These activities included special techniques (asanas, loosening exercises and relaxation techniques) designed to reduce pain. In order to enhance her relaxation and calmness special meditation techniques were administered (cyclic meditation, trataka and mind sound resonance technique). Manomaya Kosha and Vignanmaya Kosha were particularly helpful to her. Her parameters were monitored on a daily basis to keep a record of her progress.
