imbalances. Breathing exercise ensures increase in the intake of oxygen which will
help to purify the blood.
Eventhough most of these exercises are helpful to cure some diseases like arthritis,
sinasitis, spondilatis etc., they are mainly useful for prevention of occurrence
of diseases.
II.Simplified Kundalini Yoga
Astanga Yoga (Yoga in eight steps) evolved by Pathanjali Saint has been simplified
to suit the needs of modern way of life. The principles and practices adopted in
this simplified meditation are based on scientific principles.
It is a fact that human being is always in emotional mood due to hereditary imprints
and environmental factors. By doing this meditation, the frequency of mind is reduced
from Beta (14-40 cycles per second – emotional mood) to Alfa (8-13 cps – awareness
stage). The practitioner is able to keep the mind at pituitary gland (Master gland
for five senses) and do his/her activities (Thought, word and deed) with awareness
of the consequences. This will enable any practitioner to keep the mind in a peaceful
state and to develop willpower, avoid pains / diseases and also to solve problems.
III.Introspection Or Self Analysis
This is another important practice in this system of yoga. With the willpower derived
by meditation, the practitioner will be able to develop positive thinking, can be
free from desires which can not be fulfilled, can neutralize anger and eradicate
worries.
By doing this practice, one is able to understand the “Causes and Effect System”
of Nature. He will adopt moderation in food, physical activities, sleep, sex, and
thought force so that he/she will neither ignore nor over indulge in these five
aspects. This will enable the individual to lead a virtuous way of life with three
phases namely morality (not to cause harm physically or mentally), duty (due to
society) and charity (helping others by physical labour, material and knowledge)
IV.kayakalpa yoga practices
Science of Kayakalpa delineates the manner in which the human body can be immortalized.
Kaya Kalpa Yoga has a three-fold objective:
1. Withstanding the ageing process:
2. Maintaining health and youthfulness and
3. Postponing one’s death to suit one’s wishes.
Kayakalpa comprises two important exercises:
1. Recycling of vital energy and
2. Toning of nervous system.

will be raised to a remarkable instant.
The practice enables and equips one to maintain physical and mental health, further
spiritual development and rejuvenate the physical body to withstand the ageing process.
The practice will benefit everyone, regardless of sex, race, religion, caste, to
enjoy a happy and energetic life.
Conclusion:

and maintain good health, happiness, peace and also to preserve the intensity of
life energy (Bio-current) to lead a perfect life and do the activities which are
usefull to self and the Society.
