![]() This wonderful knowledge and wisdom has triggered humanness to blossom. This technique has been used successfully used on victims of trauma, on terrorists and naxalites. Researchers at NIMHANS and AIIMS have zeroed on the impact of the breathing technique, which improves the heart rate, benefits cognition, improves breathing pattern, restores calmness in the mind and body, arrests Alzheimer’s affliction, works positively on the endocrine system, all of which increase energy (or prana) levels in the human body. The breathing technique was cognated by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar after being in silence for a period of 10 days on the banks of Bhadravati River at Shimoga, a small town in Karnataka.Ĭassandra’s of doubt and prophets of doom have questioned the salutatory benefit of the course and the breathing technique. One can experience this entire process only by undertaking the course. Eventually all the accumulated stress is extricated and a person is thoroughly relaxed. During the breathing process participants feel varied sensations, emotions, tingling sensations, laughter, weeping among others.īut the objective is to keep breathing to the syllable of Soham in (chanted in Gurudev’s voice). When sounds are harmonised by the syllable of Soham we can term it as magical music.Įnlightenment is not accruing anything providential but harmonising our whole being rhythmically. We are unable to distinguish between cacophony and symphony in this frenetic pace of life which is cannonaded by innumerable thoughts, continuous action and noise. Our emotions, feelings, thoughts are all cast in the symphony of rhythm. Humans feel hungry or sleepy at certain times. For instance the sun rises and sets at a particular time, similarly seasons arrive and exit at predetermined times. It is momentous to understand that nature runs on a rhythm. Through the actions of our breath, we appreciate a proper vision of who we really are. Su means proper, Darshan implies vision and Kriya is a purifying action. ![]() The unique breathing technique of Sudarshan Kriya is the fulcrum of the Happiness Programme of the Art of Living. But the febrile minds gradually settled as the rhythms of Soham resonated the dingy hall. A few hardened addicts attempted to derail the Kriya. This was followed by pranayams and finally Sudarshan Kriya. But in our arsenal was the potent cassette of Sudarshan Kriya and enveloped with the divine benediction of Gurudev. Some looked menacing, others disenchanted, a few enveloped by ennui. The devotee connected me to an estimable psychiatrist and soon along with two other faculty members, we began conducting courses for alcoholics and drug addicts at a rehab centre. Today by the grace of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the breathing technique of Sudarshan Kriya I am sober. My wife in sheer desperation enrolled me for the Part 1 course (now called the Happiness Programme). It seemed aeons ago, when my mind was subsumed by tenebrosity and hurtling down the hubristic path on account of excessive drinking. Some years ago, while I was posted at Gorakhpur, an Art of Living devotee happened to read my maiden book, The Matter of the Mind, wherein I narrated the efficacy of the Sudarshan Kriya technique and how it extricated me from the cesspool of alcoholism. Ravi Valluri throws light on the importance of Sudarshan Kriya, the ancient yogic technique and its benefits
