A GLIMPSE OF THE HUMAN BODY
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-09) Telles, Shirley
Every living organism is made up of units called cells. These are tiny structures seen only through the microscope. Cells are held together by special, intercellular material. In the human body there are approximately 1 0 0 trillion cells. The cells differ according to the function which they do. For example, the blood, muscle, and bone cells all look different and perform different functions. However all cells have certain features in common. All cells use oxygen from the air we breathe and substances from the food we eat to produce energy. Production of waste material is common to all cells. Also most cells can produce new cells, and whenever a cell dies (for whatever reason) new cells are formed. In order to be able to produce energy, give rise to waste substances, and form new cells when needed, cells have tiny, specialized structures inside them, which can be observed with a very powerful microscope

MIND SOUND RESONANCE TECHNIQUE (MSRT)
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-09) Nagendra H.R.
Quality has become the watch word nowadays in technology-quality products, even with our targets towards very higher production. The astonishing discovery of the Japanese is that quantity and quality can be together; very high quality goods produced in large quantities are most cost-effective. Aesthetics in the form of newer fashions, efficiency, durability, maintenance-free performance, etc form the ingredients of what we call quality.

NEW HORIZONS IN MODERN MEDICINE
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-09) Nagendra H.R.
Science and Technology have revolutionalised the life style of man. Increased standards of living has brought great comfort to mankind. Modern medicine with its scientific attitude in research has been able to unravel many mysteries within a short period of about 100 years, which were out of reach for mankind over generations. The remarkable research in the early part of this century was the discovery of germs in the causation of several diseases. There were several diseases killing mankind through epidemics and pandemics. I recollect my grandmother's description of an outbreak of plague in the city. People were asked to move out of the house instantaneously with minimal luggage to remote villages as soon as they saw a rat falling dead in the house. The corporation lorries were busy clearing away the human corpses to be burnt as quickly as possible—the only answer they knew to deal with the epidemics of plague. Outbreak of cholera and typhoid took a toll of 2 or 3 persons from each house. The pandemics of Influenza killed men so fast that there were not enough people to nurse the sick.
PRANIK ENERGISATION TECHNIQUE (PET)
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-09) SVYP Group
Modern life, beset with tensions and anxieties, continues to crush the affected individuals with an increasing number (incidence) of deaths and a deteriorating quality of life. Inspite of man's understanding of structure and dynamics of the physical universe, the inner aspect of life or the inner world remains to be unravelled through the current scientific thought process. Despite technological growth and enhanced material standards of living, the real standard of living in terms of love, happiness and peace has yet to find its roots. Yoga and Spirituality contain secrets of the structure and laws of the entire universe. Based on that wisdom, Yoga offers a unique new way of life to the modern man.
RESEARCH METHODS
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.; Telles Shirley
Nowadays there is an increasing interest in using non pharmacological ('alternative') modes of treatment for ailments which are known to be caused by stress induced changes in the mental state. However, though there is a growing awareness and interest in these treatments, they are not yet accepted by the medical community, in India or elsewhere. For this reason the clinical progress has to be systematically monitored, using methods which are acceptable the world over.

THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF YOGA. VOLUME -1
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) VYASA Research Team
The work started way back in 1977 in Kanyakumari to unravel the hidden secrets of Yoga by systematic internal research and literature search. The central question was "Can Yoga be useful to solve the challenges of our society such as stress, psychosomatic ailments, social disharmony, student unreset, family divorces, increasing gun culture, terrorism, drug culture and so on?" Initially we took up Yoga as a therapeutic tool and for stress relief.
Y0GA FOR DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
(Swami Vivekananda Yoga Prakashana, 2010-12-04) Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.
In the late 19t h Century, a teen-aged boy named Tom had a bullet shot injury in his abdomen. When the wound healed, he was left with a permanent hole in the stomach. Doctors, who were interested in understanding the mechanisms of how the nervous system learns to control body functions, requested Tom to co-operate in their experiments. They collected the gastric secretions through this hole in his abdomen, during different times of the day and analysed them. They found that the digestive juices secreted from the stomach increased when Tom felt hungry, when he thought of food, when the food was kept in the mouth and, of course, when the food entered the stomach. The interesting part of the experiment was that there occurred a heavy surge of acid from the stomach when Tom was irritated, frustrated and anxious. This gave a big clue about the effect of emotions on acid production from the stomach.

YOGA AND CANCER
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-04) Nagendra H.R.; Nagarathana R.; Shirley Telles
Cancer and AIDs have posed probably the greatest challenge to modem medical researchers. Such challenges, each time in the history of science, have expanded the vision of researchers to higher and subtler vistas of nature. For example, the photoelectric effect of light shattered the well established wave theory of light and propounded the dual nature of light saying that light can act as waves or as particles. This led to the generalised laws of our physical world from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics. In the same way, the current challenge of Cancer and AIDS in particular and stress induced disorders in general, is leading us to expand from our matter-based approach to consciousness - based approach; from physical to holistic vision of the world.
YOGA AND ITS APPLICATIONS
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.; Nagarathana R.

YOGA AND MEMORY
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-08) Nagendra H.R.; Telles, Shirley
Man's quest to have an excellent memory is well known from time immemorial. Some people may be born with an excellent memory but not everyone is so lucky! The key question is- is it possible to improve one's memory?
YOGA FOR ARTHRITIS
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-07) Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.
Pain in the joints is a common problem which may vary from a minor discomfort to a disabling chronic problem affecting the quality of life to a great extent. The biomedical inventions have given great mobility and functional ability for damaged joints. It is not unusual to find persons with 10 to 20 joints (small and big) replaced as and when the joints get damaged, which has helped them to live their lives in comfort. Thanks to fascinating advances in medication too, which has definitely saved an arthritic from the devastating side effects of steroids. But, have we hit the nail on its head? Have we been able to cure or prevent joint diseases? The answer is a clear 'No' Increasing problems of aging changes in the joints, are expected even as our life expectancy and longevity have increased all round the globe. But what about the other types of arthritidis which are hitting younger persons? Rheumatoid arthritis, a disease of temperate climates, is still an enigma as we have not been able to remove the root cause of the disease.
YOGA FOR BACK PAIN
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-04) Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.
Most of us have suffered from backache at some time or other in our lifetime. Usually it is unpleasant and awkward, but not a desperate and serious problem. The commonest type of back pain is caused by some kind of mechanical stress or damage within the back which gets better fairly quickly. Poor posture, excessive stresses (physical and psychological), aging problems and mechanical damage may all contribute to back pain.
YOGA FOR BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-04) Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.
How many of us have really noticed our breath? It is an often taken for granted function of our system and never given any importance till such time one feels difficulty in breathing. But have we not noticed always that any change in the mind and emotions has always reflected in our breath almost instantly? A cricketer in his 99t h run has to focus on his breathing as his anxiety is reflected in his breath. As the question papers are given in the examination hall, there is a sigh till such time the student has seen and felt comfortable with the questions. Just before the being comes into this world the mother needs to work on her breath
