Shiva Purana and Vedathri Maharishi's Philosophy: An Explanation சிவபுராணமும் வேதாத்திரியமும் வேதாத்திரிய விளக்கம்
Arulnithi A. Palaniswami IndiaThis exploration delves into the concept of Karma, a fundamental principle suggesting that our lives are shaped by our own actions, as elucidated by revered figures ranging from Bhagavan Veda Vyasa Maha Rishi to Bhagavan Vedathiri Maharishi. Comparing the philosophies of Vedathiri Maharishi with various other schools of thought, a profound unity emerges. Just as the source is singular, the experiences and explanations of enlightened beings resonate with a shared understanding, transcending superficial differences. Recognizing that cultivating the mind leads to a richer life, these enlightened individuals have dedicated themselves to conveying the art of mental refinement to the masses in a way that is relevant and accessible. Having immersed myself in the Manavalakalai (Art of Mental Well-being) techniques developed by Vedathiri Maharishi, who transformed his own life into a living experiment, I have had the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences and connect Vedathiri's teachings with the philosophies of other wise individuals. For the past fifteen years, I have been privileged to document these insights in a series of books. I am deeply grateful to my Guru for bestowing upon me this opportunity.

Mr. G. Premanandham IndiaRooted in Vethathiri philosophy, this article delves into the profound and multifaceted significance of the Sun, not merely as a celestial body, but as a fundamental force and conscious entity intimately intertwined with creation itself. It explores the Vedic perspective that the Sun is the very origin point, the primordial seed from which Earth, the vast expanse of the Milky Way, and indeed the entirety of the known and unknown universe have sprung. This perspective elevates the Sun beyond a simple star, portraying it as a central intelligence and generative principle. The article posits that a deep and nuanced understanding of a single Sun – its energies, rhythms, and inherent wisdom – holds the key to unlocking the secrets of all suns scattered throughout the cosmos, revealing patterns in their behavior, trajectories, and interactions. It suggests that by meticulously studying and comprehending the intricacies of our own Sun, we gain access to a universal language, a cosmic code that illuminates the underlying principles governing the celestial dance of all stars.Furthermore, the article argues that by engaging with the Sun on a deeper, philosophical level through the lens of Vedic wisdom, we can unveil the deeper mysteries of the universe – the mechanisms of creation, the nature of consciousness, and our place within the grand cosmic scheme. It promises to explore how Vedic scriptures and practices, such as Surya Namaskar and specific mantras, can facilitate a deeper connection with the Sun and unlock a greater understanding of ourselves and the universe we inhabit, offering a unique and holistic perspective on cosmic origins and the interconnectedness of all things.

S Veerakannan Deputy Librarian, Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College, Pollachi 642001, Tamilnadu IndiaThe COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of preventive healthcare and building robust immunity. While medical interventions remain crucial, complementary approaches can play a significant role in bolstering overall health. This paper explores the potential of yoga mudras, hand gestures practiced in yogic traditions, as a precautionary measure for improving health and potentially enhancing resilience against viral infections like COVID-19. We delve into the theoretical framework underlying mudras, examining their purported effects on the flow of prana (vital energy) and the modulation of physiological processes. Furthermore, we discuss specific mudras that are believed to enhance immunity, improve respiratory function, and alleviate stress, all of which are crucial for combating the disease. While acknowledging the need for rigorous scientific validation, this paper suggests integrating yoga mudras into daily life as a simple, accessible, and potentially beneficial practice for supporting overall well-being and contributing to a more resilient immune system in the face of viral threats.

D. Yashotha Department of Human Excellence, Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College, Pollachi IndiaIn today’s fast-paced world, characterized by constant connectivity, high-stress environments, and demanding schedules, sleep disorders have become increasingly common, affecting millions of people globally. Insomnia, the persistent difficulty falling or staying asleep, sleep apnea, a condition marked by interrupted breathing during sleep, restless leg syndrome, an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, and other sleep-related issues such as narcolepsy and parasomnias, can severely impact an individual's physical and mental health. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to a weakened immune system, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, impaired cognitive function, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, and decreased overall quality of life. While pharmaceutical solutions, such as sleeping pills and sedatives, are available to manage the symptoms of sleep disorders, many individuals are seeking alternative and more sustainable approaches. They are increasingly turning to holistic practices like yoga and meditation for natural and long-lasting relief. These ancient techniques offer a non-pharmacological path to improved sleep and well-being. Both practices not only improve sleep quality by reducing stress, calming the nervous system, and promoting relaxation, but also enhance overall well-being by addressing the root causes of sleep disturbances, such as anxiety, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. By cultivating mindfulness and promoting a deeper connection between mind and body, yoga and meditation offer a powerful and holistic way to reclaim restful sleep and improve overall health.
