Part I: YOGA & HEALTH
1. INTRODUCTION
Today's fashion and even goal of all is, “Keep fit, disease free and be handsome and
beautiful. Since Yoga helps a great deal in achieving this goal it has become popular
all over the world and its popularity is growing day by day. Yoga calms the restless
mind and cures the sick body. People at large use Yoga for memory development,
intelligence, and creativity growth. Yoga is so useful that it has become part of the
curriculum in many institutions and others following the lead.
The modern medical system has replaced almost all the traditional systems of
medicines in different parts of the globe because of its rational basis. It has proved
itself most effective in saving humans from the fatal hands of contagious and infectious
diseases. However, the fast and competitive lives due to industrialization, have
introduced several, psychosomatic ailments and psychiatric problems. Modern Medical
System is unable to face this great challenge. Yoga removes this inadequacy of MMS
either independently or as supplement to other medical systems.
Yoga is the science of mind. It teaches us how to control our mind, our desires
and our reaction to stress. This means that Yoga calms the mind and thus helps us to
maintain inner peace always, in all our actions and thus promotes physical and mental
health. Yuj the Sanskrit word of meaning “joining' is the root of the word Yoga: The
Sanskrit saying “Yujyate anena iti yogaù” means, “Yoga is that which joins”. In other
words Yoga joins jévätmä the individual self with Paramätmä, the universal Self, or to put
it in another way, Yoga is transformation of narrow constricted egoistic personality into all-
pervasive, eternal and blissful state of Reality.
1.1 Definitions of Yoga
1.1.1 Sage Patanjali defines yoga as:
yaegiíÄìitinraex .2.
Yoga means the restraint of the modification of the citta with awareness. (1.2)
4
Nirodha means restraining the chitta with awareness. It means restraint with skill and efforts.
Maharshi Patanjali is not suggesting suppression, but talking about the awareness towards the
roots of the modification of the chitta, with a view to restrain them.
1.1.2 In the Bhagavad Gita, a few definitions of yoga are found:
योगस्थ: कुरुकर्माणिसङ्गंत्यक्त्वमधनञ्जय|
णसद्ध्यणसद्ध्यो: सर्ोभू त्वमसर्त्वं योगउच्यते || 2-48||
Be steadfast in the performance of your duty, O Arjun, abandoning attachment to success and
failure. Such equanimity is called Yog. (2.48)
बु द्धियुक्तोजहमतीहउभे सुकृतदु ष्कृते |
तस्ममद्योगमययुज्यस्वयोग: कर्ासुकौशलर्् ||2-50||
One who prudently practices the science of work without attachment can get rid of both good
and bad reactions in this life itself. Therefore, strive for Yoga, which is the art of working
skilfully (in proper consciousness). (2.50)
तं णिद्यमद् दु :खसं योगणियोगं योगसद्धञितर्् |
सणनश्चयेनयोक्तव्योयोगोऽणनणिा ण्णचे तसम || 6-23||
Separation from the union with pain/sorrow is known as Yoga. This Yoga should be practised
with determination and with an underspending mind. (6.23)
1.2 Concept of Health and Yoga

1.2.1 W.H.O.
The World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948 defined health as a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
There are two things to be noticed in this definition. Firstly, it does not sanction mere disease
5
less ness as health. This is in tune with what we just saw in the previous section. Health is a
positive state, not just an absence of a negative state. Secondly, it lists three dimensions of
wellbeing. Let us look at each of these dimensions individually.
The first dimension of health acknowledged here is physical wellbeing (and not mere absence
of diseases). Psychological soundness would also be an integral part of health. Here too, a
positive state of psychological wellbeing is sought, and not just an absence of psychological
disorders. Accordingly, WHO describes mental health as "a state of well-being in which the
individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community"
social health forms the third dimension of wellbeing in the definition of health. As in the case
of physical and psychological health, social health refers not just to the absence of unlawful
acts, but a positive state of wellbeing. It implies an expansion of one's awareness, and
harmony with the bigger whole, which in turn rewards the individual with a sense of
belonging and connectedness.
1.2.2 Yogic Concept

These three factors of physical, mental and social health would seem comprehensive.
However, social health can be extended further into a higher possibility — from a sense of
belonging to a particular community, one may expand his awareness to include the whole of
existence without any favouritism. This then becomes the dimension of spiritual wellbeing,
the culmination of which is self-realization. A spiritual aspirant who is enquiring into his true
nature begins to cast off his assumed identities, and thereby begins to experience a state of
union (yōga) with existence where equal love manifests for all that is.
1.3 Concept of Kosas
In the tradition of Yoga and Upanishads there are five aspects of existence of man.
o The first and the grossest - the physical frame which we are all so familiar is called
Annamaya kosa.
o The second subtler sheath is the Pranamaya kosa featured by the predominance of
Prana, the life principle.
6
The next sheaths in the order of subtlety are
o Manomaya Kosa
o Vijnanamaya Kosa and
o Ananadamaya Kosa.
Anandamaya Kosa as the outer most and the subtlest. As the sheaths become subtler, the
freedom of operation in the living being’s increases, the bondage decreases and the bliss
associated with it also increases. While in Manomaya Kosa the creative power predominates,
in Vijnanamaya Kosa it is the power to discern and discriminate. Bliss is embodied in
Anandamaya Kosa, the highest stage of evolution in the manifested existence. It is the
subtlest among the five sheaths of existence. In his journey towards the Ultimate, Man
crosses these sheaths of existence one by one. Through analysis called 'Panch Kosa Viveka'
(Knowing through experience, one's five sheaths of existence) and the associated practices
called 'Tapas', man transforms himself by gradually getting relieved from the bondages and
constrictions of each sheath. This is one of the methods of reaching the ultimate goal
enumerated and described in the Upanishads.
1.4 Concept of Disease in Yoga

In Anandamaya Kosa a man is healthiest with perfect harmony and balance of all his
faculties. At Vijnanamaya Kosa there are movements, but they are channelized in the right
direction. As such, it is in the Manomaya level, the imbalances start, say the yoga texts. Likes
and dislikes have come to play at this level.They start governing our actions; often they are in
the wrong direction. The liking of Gulab Jamoon in a diabetic may lure him to eat the same
against doctor's advice. Thus, going against right knowledge causes imbalances. These
imbalances amplify themselves resulting in illnesses called Adhis. At this stage there are no
symptoms at the physical level. Prompted by the perpetual growth of desires, these mental
diseases concealed in us, begin to manifest themselves externally and gradually they percolate
into the physical frame. Preponderance of Ajnana (ignorance about one's real state of bliss)
leads one to perform wrong actions such as eating of unwholesome food, living in unhealthy
dwellings, doing things at untimely hours, association with the wicked, evil thoughts, etc.
These breed physical diseases called Adhija Vyadhis or secondary diseases.
7
The Adhis (primary diseases) are two fold Samanya (ordinary) and Sara (essential). The
former includes the diseases incidental to the body while the latter is responsible for rebirth to
which all men are subject. The Samanya are normally produced during the interactions with
the world. These may be termed as psychosomatic ailments. When dealt with by suitable
techniques and congenial atmosphere, Adhis of the ordinary type will vanish. Along with it
are destroyed the physical ailments i.e., the Vyadhis caused by these Adhis -Adhijah
Vyadhayah. The subtler Adhis of the essential type (Sara) which cause the birth of the
physical body can be destroyed only by the realization of the causal states of mind and a
corresponding ability to live in Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Kosas. In that state, man
transcends the cycles of birth and death.
The second category of ailments are Anadhijah Vyadhayah- those not originating in the mind.
These would probably include the infectious and contagious diseases. The text says that
Anadhij Vyadhis can be handled through conventional medicines (the chemotherapy of
modern medicine and Ayurveda), mantras (with their natural vibrational characteristics) and
good actions.
2. INTEGRATED APPROACH OF YOGA THERAPY (IAYT)
Yoga is fundamentally different from conventional medical practice in its approach to

healthcare Instead of trying to reduce the cause of disease to a single factor and to correct it
using a specific cure, yoga aims to treat illness by improving health on all levels
simultaneously and by restoring inner harmony. Ill health occurs when the total balance of
perfect health is disturbed. And although the original disrupting influence may only affect one
level at first, the disturbance soon spreads All the five sheaths of existence interact, thus
something that primarily affects the mind, say, can soon spread to the body and prank
sheaths. A bad day at work may make you irritable, for example, but it also increases stress
reactions, it may make you tense your muscles, and often depletes your energy level, leading
to chronic fatigue. For this reason, yoga contains elements that address problems at every
level —asanas that relax and tone your muscles and massage your internal organs,
pranayama that slows breathing and regulates the flow of prana, relaxation and meditation
that act to calm your mind, and emotion culturing to heal your spirit For just as negative
influences spread disruption, positive action has repercussions as well The different types of
yoga practice augment each other and are more effective when done together. When you do
8
the asanas and stretch your muscles, muscular tension is released and you are more able to
relax Like- wise, when you relax the mind and release suppressed emotions you tend to
become less tense on a physical level. Every element of yoga brings benefits throughout, and
also acts to amplify the effect of the other types of practices. This is the essence of yoga
therapy —both as a preventive and as a curative Daily practice of a complete yoga session
can restore your natural balance and harmony, bringing positive good health to all parts of
your life - physical, mental, and spiritual.

3.2 Introduction – Ailment

3.2.1 Oncology
Definition: Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of the body grow and
reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy
tissue, including organs.
10
Cancer sometimes begins in one part of the body before spreading to other areas. This
process is known as metastasis.
More than 1 in 3 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. The 4
most common types of cancer are:
● breast cancer
● lung cancer
● prostate cancer
● bowel cancer
There are more than 200 different types of cancer, and each is diagnosed and treated in a
particular way.
Causes, signs and symptoms
Changes to your body's normal processes or unusual, unexplained symptoms can
sometimes be an early sign of cancer.
Symptoms that need to be checked by a doctor include:
● a lump that suddenly appears on your body
● unexplained bleeding
● changes to your bowel habits
But in many cases your symptoms won't be related to cancer and will be caused by other,
non-cancerous health conditions.
o Treatment: Surgery is the first treatment to try for most types of cancer, as solid tumours
can usually be surgically removed.
Two other commonly used treatment methods are:

● chemotherapy – powerful cancer-killing medication
● radiotherapy – the controlled use of high-energy X-rays

4.5 Section B – Case 2 - Pulmonology
Pulmonology
o Definition
Pulmonology is a medical speciality that deals with diseases involving the respiratory
tract. The term is derived from the Latin word pulmō, pulmōnis("lung") and
the Greek suffix -λογία, -logia ("study of"). Pulmonology is synonymous
with pneumology (from Greek πνεύμων ("lung") and λογία), respirology and respiratory
medicine. Pulmonologists are specially trained in diseases and conditions of the chest,
particularly pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, and complicated chest
infections.
o Causes, signs and symptoms

Typical causes are:
- hereditary diseases affecting the lungs (cysticfibrosis[15], alpha 1-antitrypsin
deficiency)
- exposure to toxins (tobacco smoke, asbestos, exhaust fumes, coal mining fumes)
- exposure to infectious agents (certain types of birds, malt processing)
- an autoimmune diathesis that might predispose to certain conditions (pulmonary
fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension)
o Signs and Symptoms
Typical signs and symptoms are:
- Signs of cyanosis or clubbing, chest wall, and respiratory rate.
- Palpation of the cervical lymph nodes, trachea and chest wall movement.
- Percussion of the lung fields for dullness or hyper-resonance.
- Auscultation (with a stethoscope) of the lung fields for diminished or unusual breath
sounds.
- Rales or rhonchi heard over lung fields with a stethoscope.
o General line of treatment
Treatment options include:
29
o Surgery in case of severe conditions where surgical intervention is required.
o Medication is the most important treatment of most diseases of pulmonology, either
by inhalation (bronchodilators and steroids) or in oral form (antibiotics, leukotriene
antagonists). A common example being the usage of inhalers in the treatment of
inflammatory lung conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Oxygen therapy is often necessary in severe respiratory disease (emphysema and
pulmonary fibrosis). When this is insufficient, the patient might require mechanical
ventilation.

interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to variety of emotional and physical

There are a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression, including the
following:
 Abuse: Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can increase the vulnerability to
clinical depression later in life.
 Certain medications. Some drugs, such as isotretinoin (used to treat acne), the antiviral
drug interferon-alpha, and corticosteroids, can increase your risk of depression.
 Conflict: Depression in someone who has the biological vulnerability to develop
depression may result from personal conflicts or disputes with family members or
friends.
 Death or a loss: Sadness or grief from the death or loss of a loved one, though natural,
may increase the risk of depression.
 Genetics: A family history of depression may increase the risk.
 Major events: Even good events such as starting a new job, graduating, or getting married
can lead to depression. So can moving, losing a job or income, getting divorced, or
retiring. However, the syndrome of clinical depression is never just a "normal" response
to stressful life events.
42
 Other personal problems: Problems such as social isolation due to other mental illnesses
or being cast out of a family or social group can contribute to the risk of developing
clinical depression.
 Serious illnesses: Sometimes depression co-exists with a major illness or may be triggered
by another medical condition.
 Substance abuse: Nearly 30% of people with substance abuse problems also have major
or clinical depression. Even if drugs or alcohol temporarily make you feel better, they
ultimately will aggravate depression.

6.2 Introduction to the Ailment

Arthritis is an acute or chronic inflammation of joints resulting in pain, structural changes and
loss of joint function. Causes of arthritis include injury, infection, autoimmunity, crystal
deposition, and age related degeneration. Arthritis has a considerable impact on health related
quality of life and is responsible for considerable health care costs and inability to perform the
activities of daily life. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of
bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune
disorder that first targets the lining of joints (synovium).
6.2.1. Arthritis Definition

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are
joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age.
49
6.2.2 Causes
The two main types of arthritis — osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis — damage joints in
different ways.
Osteoarthritis
The most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis involves wear-and-tear damage to your
joint's cartilage — the hard, slick coating on the ends of bones. Enough damage can result in
bone grinding directly on bone, which causes pain and restricted movement. This wear and
tear can occur over many years, or it can be hastened by a joint injury or infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system attacks the lining of the joint capsule, a
tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. This lining, known as the synovial
membrane, becomes inflamed and swollen. The disease process can eventually destroy
cartilage and bone within the joint.
6.2.3 Signs and Symptoms:
The most common signs and symptoms of arthritis involve the joints. Depending on the type
of arthritis you have, your signs and symptoms may include:
● Pain
● Stiffness
● Swelling
● Redness
● Restricted range of motion
6.2.4 General line of treatment
The treatment of arthritis is very dependent on the precise type of arthritis present. An
accurate diagnosis increases the chances for successful treatment. Treatments available
50
include physical therapy, home remedies, splinting, cold-pack application, paraffin wax dips,
anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications (ranging from pain-relieving over-the-counter
medications such as acetaminophen [Tylenol] and ibuprofen [Motrin, Advil] to narcotics),
immune-altering medications, biologic medications, and surgical operations (including joint
replacement surgery). Pain from osteoarthritis of the knee can be relieved by hyaluronic acid
injections. Rheumatoid arthritis can require medications that suppress the immune system
(disease modifying medications). Low back arthritis that is irritating nerves of the spine can
require surgical repair.

7.2 Introduction to the Ailment
7.2.1 Definition:
Back pain (also known “dorsalgia) is pain felt in the back that usually originate from the
muscles, nerves, bones, joints ot other structures in the spine. It classified as lower back pain,
middle back pain, upper back pain or low back pain with sciatica.
7.2.2 Causes
1) Mechanical 2) Inflammatory 3) Neoplasm 4) Metabolic 5) Postural Defects
6) Psychogenic/ Depression 7) Infection 8) Muscular Insufficiency
7.2.3 signs and symptoms:
62
- Most back pain is what's known as "non-specific" (there's no obvious cause) or
"mechanical" (the pain originates from the joints, bones or soft tissues in and around the
spine).
- Medical conditions that cause back pain Conditions that can cause back pain include:
● A slipped (prolapsed) disc (a disc of cartilage in the spine pressing on a nerve) –

this can cause back pain and numbness, tingling and weakness in other parts of
the body
● Sciatica (irritation of the nerve that runs from the lower back to the feet) – this can
cause pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the lower back, buttocks, legs and
feet
● Ankylosing spondylitis (swelling of the joints in the spine) – this causes pain and
stiffness that's usually worse in the morning and improves with movement
● Spondylolisthesis (a bone in the spine slipping out of position) – this can cause
lower back pain and stiffness, as well as numbness and a tingling sensation
These conditions are treated differently to non-specific back pain.
Very rarely, back pain can be a sign of a serious problem such as:
● a broken bone in the spine
● an infection
● cauda equina syndrome (where the nerves in the lower back become severely
compressed)
7.2.3 General line of Treatment
Back pain will usually improve within a few weeks or months. There are several things you
can try to help reduce your pain in the meantime.

o Acupuncture
o Physiotherapy
o Anti-inflammatory tables can be given
o Hot and cold packs
o Surgery advised for slipped disc, but movement is restricted after that.
o Rest
Specialist treatments

The participants do three special technique sessions and the parameters session in the Section
while the common sessions of OM meditation, Pranayama, Cyclic Meditation, Maitrimilan,
Lectures, Bhajans, Trataka and MSRT are attended by all sections.
8.2.1. Diabetes
Definition
Diabetes is a condition in which a person has high blood sugar (glucose) level as a result of
the body either not producing enough insulin, or because body cell do not properly respond to
the insulin that is produced. Unfortunately, diabetes shows no symptoms till an advanced
stage. Hence, it is silent killer. Hence, everyone at least those above 40 should have their
blood sugar tested yearly or even often.
Causes
The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is
produced by the pancreas (a gland behind the stomach).
76
When food is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood
and into cells, where it's broken down to produce energy.
However, if you have diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose into energy. This
is because there's either not enough insulin to move the glucose, or the insulin produced
doesn't work properly.
Although there are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes,
type 2 diabetes is often linked to being overweight.
Signs and Symptoms:
- feeling very thirsty
- urinating more frequently than usual, particularly at night
- feeling very tired
- weight loss and loss of muscle bulk
- itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent episodes of thrush
- cuts or wounds that heal slowly
- blurred vision
Type 1 diabetes can develop quickly over weeks or even days.
Many people have type 2 diabetes for years without realising because the early symptoms
tend to be general.
General line of treatment
Depending on what type of diabetes you have, blood sugar monitoring, insulin and oral
medications may play a role in your treatment. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy
weight and participating in regular activity also are important factors in managing diabetes.

8.5 Section F – Case 2
Definition
Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin. Normally,
the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) releases insulin to help your body store and use
the sugar and fat from the food you eat. Diabetes can occur when the pancreas produces very
little or no insulin, or when the body does not respond appropriately to insulin. As yet, there
is no cure. People with diabetes need to manage their disease to stay healthy.
CausesThe amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is
produced by the pancreas (a gland behind the stomach).
When food is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves glucose out of the blood
and into cells, where it's broken down to produce energy.
However, if you have diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose into energy. This
is because there's either not enough insulin to move the glucose, or the insulin produced
doesn't work properly.
Although there are no lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of type 1 diabetes,
type 2 diabetes is often linked to being overweight.
Signs and Symptoms:
- feeling very thirsty
- urinating more frequently than usual, particularly at night
- feeling very tired
- weight loss and loss of muscle bulk
- itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent episodes of thrush
- cuts or wounds that heal slowly

9.1.5 Introduction:
- Gastritis
- Peptic Ulcers
- IBS
- Ulcerative Colitis

9.2.1 Gastro-intestinal disorders: Gastrointestinal diseases (abbrev. GI diseases or GI
illnesses) refer to diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, namely the esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, and the accessory organs of
digestion, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
9.2.2 Causes: The causes of general GI problems such as constipation, diarrhoea, nausea
and vomiting vary widely. For instance, they may be a result of disease such as:
• malabsorption disorders
• gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and small intestine due to viral or

bacterial infection from contaminated food, a bad reaction to something you ate or a side
effect of a medication)
• colitis (inflammation of the large intestine that may be triggered by certain foods or
bacterial infections)
• other inflammatory bowel diseases (such as Crohn's disease)
89
• ulcers in the stomach or small intestine
• cancer of the digestive system
• non-GI disorders and diseases such as depression, Parkinson's disease, diabetes,

underactive or overactive thyroid gland
• previous bowel surgery
Alternatively, the problems may be linked to diet, stress, sedentary lifestyle, food
intolerance or allergy, medications or simply a change in routine. For example,
constipation can develop if you eat too little fibre or too many dairy products and do not
drink enough fluids. Similarly, diarrhoea can ensue from intolerance to certain foods or
too much fibre.
9.2.3 Signs and Symptoms:
Symptoms may include bloating, diarrhea, gas, stomach pain, and stomach cramps.
Treatment includes a combination of medication and lifestyle changes.

11. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
Arogyadhama is perhaps the oldest therapy centre which combine the best of the east with the
best of the west. To have Guruji and Dr Nagrathna Didi put medical science and yoga therapy
together to provide help to thousands of sufferers over the years is a God sent gift to those
who have come to Arogyadhama.
As part of the MSc (Yoga) course, it is truly a privilege and an unique opportunity to see the
Yoga Therapy theory put into action. As Prof Vinoy Singh mentioned that we and the
participants are perhaps benefiting from our previous good karma to have an opportunity to
learn from all at Prashanti.
With God’s grace, it will be an honour and privilege to spread Guruji and Dr Nagarathna’s
teachings and insights on yoga and yoga therapy to other ailment sufferers.
