Pranayama is one of the most essential components of yoga which has been found to be effective to physiology of the mankind in many ways. Among the Pranayamas, Bhastrika Pranayama is one of the popular breathing techniques widely practiced in yoga, which is believed to improve pulmonary, cardiac, and psychological functions. This present systematic review was planned to explore the available scientific studies on Bhastrika Pranayama individually on pulmonary, cardiovascular, and psychological variables. PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were the basis for our review of the literature. The final review included 19 trials on Bhastrika Pranayama between 2005 and 2021 based on eligibility criteria, including four randomized controlled trials and another 15 clinically controlled trials. The quality assessment of each individual trial was performed using the Jadad Scale and the assessment showed ten trails as high quality studies (score 4–8) and nine trials as low quality studies (score 0–3). The results were discussed based on ten high-quality trials and the findings showed that Bhastrika Pranayama significantly improves pulmonary, cardiovascular, and psychological variables, although there were some limitations related to sample size, study quality, follow-up duration, and practice guidelines. Future studies should address those limitations to reach better conclusions.

Background: People have practiced yoga and yagya (Homam or Agnihotra) as essential religious practices in India to maintain the environment, health, and wellness from time immemorial. Aim: The current bibliometric study was conducted to identify the published scientific data on the efficacy of yoga and Yagya on mental illness during the study period (1972–2021). Materials and Methods: A research query was generated and Scientometric data was collected from the “dimentions.ai” online database, resulting in a total of 8802 published research papers associated with the study. The obtained dataset was analyzed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses to evaluate the effect of yoga and yagya on mental illness. Results: The results indicated that most of the prolific authors are from highly productive institutions, with Harvard University on the top. The United States of America contributed the most in publications among countries, wherein author Shirley Telles published the most research paper related to yoga research. Conclusion: The current study shows that research related to yoga on mental health has a huge number of publications, but the research related to the efficacy of yagya need more attention of the scientific research. The outcome of this study can be utilized to identify the potential bibliometric endpoints with special emphasis on yoga and yagya on mental health.

Background: Bronchial asthma afflicts many millions of people worldwide, with multinational studies finding over 4% of young adults on asthma medication. Prescribed medication may alleviate symptoms but does not cure. The complementary system of yoga therapy has developed yoga practice modules that improve symptoms, but are cumbersome, and lead to high dropout rates. Results: We report the development of a new, shorter yoga module that achieved zero dropouts over a 90-day randomized controlled trial. Discussion: All yoga breathing exercises could be done standing or sitting in a chair, making the module suitable not just for young adults, but for all ages.

Introduction: The aging process and the pandemic have significantly affected the elderly population, resulting in a wide range of physiological and psychological changes. These changes have created a significant burden for the nation as the elderly is often overlooked. In response to this, the Government of India and AIIMS Bhopal developed a yoga-meditation-based intervention to help improve the mental health of the elderly (>60 years) during the pandemic. Methodology: A retrospective case − control study was conducted on the geriatric population aged over 60 years of both sexes from March 2021 to September 2021 at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal. The sample size was calculated to be 690 participants based on the prevalence of depression and anxiety in the elderly population and using the depression, anxiety, and stress scale 21 (DASS)-21. Participants were asked to fill out the DASS questionnaire, and those with mild to moderate depression, anxiety, or stress were randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group received a 6-week yoga-based mobile intervention, and the results were analyzed using the SPSS software version 27. Results: The between group analysis showed that MOMMY intervention was effective in reducing symptoms of depression (t=3.38, df=93, p<0.001), anxiety (t=4.33, df=93, P < 0.001) and stress (t = 1.76, df=93, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the psychological status of individuals. The study found a significant reduction in depression, anxiety, and stress levels after the intervention, indicating the necessity of similar interventions on the geriatric population to alleviate their mental health status.

The purpose is to understand the values of Indian education and its contemporary implication. Peace, teaching, pedagogy, perception and values, memory and knowledge recitation, and convocation are categorized as essentials of teaching in the Taittiriya Upanishad. These are essential to enhance the creativity of a learner and implement knowledge. The objective of this study is to explore the relevance of ancient Indian education in the current time. A mixed and multiple-stage method was employed, comprising a literature review, pilot studies, and an empirical survey questionnaire adopted in this research. After learners contemplate the teachings, they find a unique way to implement their wisdom. The Indian education values discuss self-exploration. Relationships between teacher–student, their psychology, family, and society are the context of the Guru–Shishya tradition. It shows the relevance of Traditional Indian Education in contemporary times and matches the objectives of the New Education Policy 2020, India. The need of the hour is education patterns and rethinking knowledge delivery. Today the Internet is a hub of information; however, information is transcended by a teacher. All 30 variables of the study are still relevant in contemporary times out of 32 variables given in the Taittiriya Upanishad.

Background: Many of the prevalent diseases have their roots in inappropriate lifestyle besides heredity. Modifiable lifestyle factors may be effective in the prevention and management of such diseases, as indicated by several research studies. This cross-sectional survey explores the correlation between various lifestyle factors and some common diseases primarily in the Indian context. Materials and Methods: A lifestyle questionnaire having 40 questions and comprising 7 dimensions was administered as a Google Form. The subjects of the study, recruited using convenience sampling, were all above 17 years of age. Results: The subjects were divided into four age groups. The lifestyle score (LS) increased with age, with the maximum rise happening in the age group 31–40. For the age groups 31–40 and 41–60, significant differences were found in the LSs of those having a lifestyle disease and those having none; two out of seven dimensions could predict the presence of a lifestyle disease for these groups. A dimension-wise comparison between Indian and outside India subjects within age groups revealed that Indians scored better in most cases where there was a significant difference. A similar comparison between males and females showed that females scored better in all cases of significant difference. However, females had a significantly more incidence of lifestyle diseases. Conclusions: The impact of a low LS starts becoming visible in the age group 31–40. Furthermore, this group makes maximum efforts to improve lifestyle. Hence, it is likely to be benefited the most by health education. Since females appear to be more prone, they need special focus.

Introduction: Research evidence and theoretical models point to the need to implement yoga and mindfulness interventions as they impact different physiological and psychological functioning associated with addiction and relapse. To ensure the safe application of yoga, a standardized yoga module that can be practiced across any drug type of substance addiction is required. This study focuses on developing, validating, and testing a yoga module's feasibility for the management of substance use disorder (SUD). Materials and Methods: The yoga module was developed for SUD by including specific yogic practices derived from research evidence from Google Scholar, PubMed, and traditional literature targeting symptoms related to SUD. Yoga experts validated the module using a 3-point Likert scale. Practices which scored a content validity ratio (CVR) score ≥0.33 were retained in the yoga module for SUD. A pilot assessment was done online to test the module's feasibility. Participants in a 9-week residential rehabilitation center participated in the study. The module was taught as an add-on to their existing treatment. The motivation for seeking treatment was assessed at baseline, and quality of life was assessed at pre- and post-intervention using the questionnaire de motivation au traitement des toxicomanies and the World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL BREF), respectively. Results: Thirty experts validated the developed module. Based on the CVR scoring, 37 yoga practices were retained. The final list of practices included breathing exercises, sukshmāvyāyāma (loosening exercise), āsana (postures), prāṇāyāma (breathing exercise), and dhyāna (meditation). In the feasibility study, all participants (n = 12) reported satisfaction and mentioned no adverse effects of the yoga intervention. The participants' mean ± standard deviation (SD) of identified motivation was 26.6 ± 1.9, introjected amotivation 22.7 ± 5.1, external motivation 16.4 ± 6.2, and a motivation 15.1 ± 5.7. The Global score or Internalization coefficient mean ± SD was 29.1 ± 18.1. The participant's total score on the WHOQOL-BREF was significant post intervention (P = 0.004). With the practice of the module, there was a significant change in the participant's psychological (P = 0.008), social (P = 0.002), and environmental domains (P < 0.001) but not in physical health (P = 0.17). At 1 month follow-up, 11 participants (n = 12) maintained abstinence. Conclusion: The designed yoga module for SUD was validated by yoga experts and was considered safe and feasible by patients with SUD. In addition, patients reported an increase in their quality of life. This can be further studied in randomized controlled trials.

There is a steady rise in interest among researchers in exploring the effect of yoga on various disease conditions, improving holistic health in a healthy population. Innumerous studies have already highlighted the benefits, but integrating yoga into mainstream modern medicine remains a distant goal. The prominent reason is because of poor-quality trials in yoga research. Therefore, the significant vital issues which should be addressed to improve randomized controlled trials in yoga research are discussed.
