    HUMAN VALUES
    (SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-10) Visharadananda, Swami
    When vasanas are roused in the mind, viveka-sakti (power of discrimination) goes away. It acts like a child who does not discriminate between good and bad but wants everything. The child is drawn to whatever looks attractive. Human beings behave the same way when the available viveka is not used. Atma is nityamukta. Whatever you want to be, you are alreadythat. You want to be a. significant person? The fact is that you are already the most significant being in the world. This whole world exists because of you. Drawing strength from you, the sun and moon rise. But you do not see the significant nature of your Self because you have identified yourself with the upadhi, your body. You want to knowledgeable but you are the source of all knowledge. You want to be powerful but you are the source of all power, sarvasaktiman.

    Yoga reduces symptoms of distress in tsunami survivors in the Andaman Islands.
    (Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine,, 2007) Telles, Shirley; Naveen, K.V.
    A month after the December 2004 tsunami the effect of a 1 week yoga program was evaluated 10 on self rated fear, anxiety, sadness and disturbed sleep in 47 survivors in the Andaman Islands. Polygraph recordings of the heart rate, breath rate and skin resistance were also made. Among the 47 people, 31 were settlers from the mainland (i.e. India, ML group) and 16 were endogenous people (EP group). There was a significant decrease in self rated fear, anxiety, sadness and disturbed sleep in both groups, and in the heart and breath rate in the ML group, 15 and in the breath rate alone in the EP group, following yoga (P50.05, t-test). This suggests that yoga practice may be useful in the management of stress following a natural disaster in people with widely differing social, cultural and spiritual beliefs.

    Muscle power, dexterity skill and visual perception in community home girls trained yoga or sports and in regular school girls.
    (Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1997-03-15) Raghuraj, P.; Telles, Shirley
    The present study was conducted to compare critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF), degree of optical illusion ("di"), dexterity scores, and grip strength in three groups of subjects, viz community home girls who had learned yoga for 6 months (CHY), age-matched community home girls who had physical activity training for 6 months (CHP), and girls who were attending a regular school (SCH). There were equal numbers in each group for each of the 4 assessment (range 11 to 30 subjects) and age range was 12 to 16 years. The CHP group had significantly lower CFF and "di" was significantly higher (one factor ANOVA, t test for unpaired data) in the CHP group, both compared to CHY and SCH groups. Right hand grip strength was also significantly less in the CHP group compared to SCH. The results were explained by previous reports of high levels of anxiety and aggression in community-home groups, which is known to influence the four parameters described here. The better performance of the CHY group compared to CHP, suggested that yoga practice has a beneficial effect in these subjects.
