Participants were given self report questionnaire including demographic details, Hindi version of SCS, Short Depression-Happiness Scale (SDHS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and short Warwick-Edinburg Mantle Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS). Data Analysis Computation of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) was done across the samples. For the construct validity, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between Hindi version of SCS and other constructs. Results Cronbach’s α for the 26 item Hindi version Self Compassion Scale is 0.67 and ranged between 0.62 and 0.71 for the 6 subscales. Cronbach’s alphas for the SCS subscales were .51 for self-kindness, .47 for common humanity, .50 for mindfulness, .31 for self-judgment, .17 for isolation and .62 for over-identification. SCS was found to be positively related with Mindfulness and Well being scale and negatively related with SDHS.

Whereas in control group only two variables depression and fatigue’s behavioral dimension showed significant reduction in score. Mann-Whitney test was conducted to compare the results between group, experimental and control. Three variables showed significant results (p<0.05) anxiety and two dimensions of fatigue sensory and cognitive. Conclusion: The assessment and data analysis clearly shows that 20 days practice of MSRT significantly reduced the anxiety, depression and fatigue score of the participants, while improvement was none in the control group. These findings need confirmation from studies with a larger sample size, which are implicated in the future.Item “Integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT)” for neurology and oncology, asthma and hypertension, anxiety and depression, arthritis, back pain, diabetes mellitus, gastro- intestinal disorders and obesity and PPH(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Kanwar, Sonal“Behind every sick man, there is a spiritual man.
