(SVYASA, 2018-03-14) ARAKSHITA SAHANI; Judu Ilavarasu; Guru Deo
Background and Introduction Obesity is becoming a serious global public health issue especially in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), most of the diseases that today’s generation is suffering from, obesity is one of the major causes. Today among 2.1 billion people, nearly 30% of the world's populations are either obese or overweight. EPI or Electro Photonic Imaging system allows for direct, real-time viewing and analysis of changes in the energy field of human. The instrument Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) that is based on EPI principle, measures electron emission from fingertips. Variation in images correspond to changing health status in different organ system, here we determined the characteristics of these GDV images in obesity participants. Methods Thirty-five participants with the age range from 20 to 60 years Obesity participants at Arogyadhama, in Prashanti Kuttiram of SVYASA Bangalore, Karnataka, India had participated in this study. All participants were given Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) practice every day for one week according to Arogyadhama Schedule. The Gas Discharge Visualization assessments were taken before and after yoga. Result There were significant reduction in the scores of Endocrine System Balance, Pancreas, and Digestive System-Balance. Other parameters like Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Breath Holding Time, Weight, Body Mass Index, Mid Arm Circumference and Exercise- Avoidance motivation scale were found to be significantly changed. Also Hip circumference and Waist circumference slightly changed after the one week of IAYT intervention. Conclusion The present study suggests that one week integrated Yoga therapy can improve the overall general well-being. This study provides strong evidence for use of GDV parameters in understanding obesity. Also findings show that one week of IAYT may bring a positive change in clinical parameters in obesity. Furthermore it may help in prevention and management of obesity.

(SVYASA, 2022-04-13) Thejaswi J; Judu Ilavarasu
Background: Yoga is an ancient science of consciousness that has aided in the upliftment of humans throughout their lives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social and moral behavior values in modern life. Spiritual enlightenment along with, this aids in the improvement of their lifestyle. In this study, the survey method was employed as a strategy, and the questionnaire was used as a tool. Aparigraha means non-possessiveness (practise of non-attachment). Hutam means offering. Aim: To develop and validate of Aparigraha and Hutam scale. Methodology: This research is mostly about tool development, and it includes 9 Aparigraha items and 5 Hutam items. From the Marlowe-Crowne social desirability scale, there are 13 items on social desirability. The whole sample (N=205) is made up of 103 females, 98 males, and four people who don't want to be identified by their gender. There includes a reliability test as well as exploratory factor analysis. It uses both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, as well as a pre-design technique. Result: Two factors can be extracted which is higher than one eigenvalue value. The internal consistency of the two constructs, whether they are operated together or individually, is reliable. The social bias, on the other hand, is sensitivity (α =0.466). Factor loading is low for these items. As a result, the items should be reframed to improve their performance. Conclusion: In this study, we can extract two factors, but due to low community value we conclude that some of the items are extracting the construct but some of the items should be reframed restructured.

To understand the true meaning and fine distinction of these òaivi-äsuri ñampad is a journey, which may take a lifetime to discover. Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse the òaivi-äsuri qualities in a human being. Both vices and virtues are applied to character traits and to individual’s desires and actions. Methodology: Online survey was conducted using google form. 300 participants were approached. Demographic items and a checklist of 36 items on a 5-point Likert scale and contingency question was prepared based on the traditional yoga text Bhagavad Gita. Conclusion: Concept of òaivi-äsuri ñampad is been discussed in Bhagavad Gita. It is been concluded that a person has to have 26 divine qualities in him so that he can attain liberation but if a person has demonic qualities in him he wouldn’t be able to attain liberation instead he will be suffering in the material world in the form of human or animal. Therefore, inculcating the divine qualities in our daily lives should be the main purpose of avoiding miseries of life.
