Importance of practice of Shavasana and Meditation
Since I started Universal Healing Program (UHP) on 2 October 1991 for integral management of coronary heart disease (CHD), as a chance discovery ( serendipity), I have learnt the importance of practice of progressive deep relaxation i.e. Shavasana. According to our experience of last 27 years, regular practice of Shavasana for few minutes twice a day by everyone would transform the planet. There will emerge humankind that will experience the importance of experience of ‘Oneness’, a feeling of Universal Brotherhood, a crying need of the hour.
Our body and mind are different; however our body and mind are alive because of the breath we breathe. The breath which we breathe is common to all. So if we can become one with our breath for few minutes twice a day, we will experience the Oneness in us.
Father of Medicine, Hippocrates observed that ‘Mind’ is not present over our shoulders in the head but Mind is present in every cell of your body. So if we can quieten our body then the Mind automatically becomes quiet. How to relax the body? Let us start with our hand and if we try to relax the hand and try to relax it very well, unknowingly, it gets stretched. However, if you make a pleasant fist and experience the stretch in the muscles which are stretched while making a fist, we come in the present moment, our awareness being on the muscles which are being stretched when we make the fist. Then we open the fist, bringing our awareness to the muscles which are being relaxed, then the relaxation is complete. We do that once again, make a fist, experience stretching in the muscles of the fist and relax the fist. Now we forget the palm. This way one by one from toes to the head, we contract a group of muscles, experience the stretch in them and then relax, experiencing the relaxation in them. In this manner, we relax the whole body. When body is relaxed the Mind gets automatically relaxed. Then we begin to watch our breath. We don't change our breathing; we just become aware of the breath of which we were not aware. We were just concentrating on the body, stretching and relaxing it and now after forgetting the body we become one with the breath which was going in and coming out. We become a witness to every breath which goes in and comes out. When we become one with the breath like this, instinctively, we become one with the whole universe, as everything that exists in the universe breathes the same air.
Now, how would you know that you have done your relaxation well and become one with your breath? Usually, we are either right handed or left handed. In a right handed person Left Brain is an active, performing brain and Right Brain is the intuitive, thinking brain and vice versa.
There is a very simple test. You place your two fingers below your nostrils and then breathe in and breathe out. When you breathe out, experience through which nostril left or right, your breath comes out prominently. You will experience the breath coming out more through the left or the right nostril. Supposing you feel the breath coming out more from the left nostril then it means that your right brain is active. If you are a right handed person, your left brain as mentioned above, is an active performing brain and right brain is the intuitive, thinking brain. So after doing the practice of Shavasana as explained above, you watch your breath by placing your fingers below the nostrils. If you experience that the breath is coming out prominently from the left nostril and if you are right handed, then your right brain is active and activation of right brain promotes feeling of ‘Oneness’. What a simple test! Noble laureate Denninger observes that through practice of Shavasana, when you become one with the breath, it is meditation on the breath. Meditation is an awareness of the breath going in and coming out. Shavasana starts with the awareness on the body and ends with the awareness on the breath. Practice of Shavasana and Meditation helps you to swim through all the difficult waters. Moreover, Denninger says that if you can understand the whole concept properly, mere understanding and clear grasp of the subject will also help you to live peacefully. This is a great discovery by a Noble Laureate.
On 25th June 1991, at San Francisco in USA, I met 40 patients of Dr.Dean Ornish with triple vessel disease, who were advised to go for bypass surgery. They were completely free of pain and feeling very well without surgery, with only medical treatment and life style changes through Dr. Dean Ornish’s program of ‘Reversal of Heart Disease’. Excited with that experience, I started similar program on 2, October 1991, Gandhi’s Birth Day and what serendipity! The program not only makes the main stream treatment of coronary heart disease more successful but also has a great potential to promote brotherhood, which is the crying need of the hour and is the kernel of Gandhi’s teaching. Moreover, in Gujarat Vidyapith, deemed University founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920, UHP Centre (UHPC) is now the part of Gujarat Vidyapith. In 2014, I was appointed Adjunct professor in Science and Nonviolence department of Gujarat Vidyapith.
A great thinker of USA, Henry David Thoreau used to say "simplify, simplify, simplify". He observed that all simple things are difficult to learn. All complicated and intricate things are learnt with diligence but the importance of simple things is not appreciated by many, who engage in intellectual pursuits with great pride. I would urge my readers to put aside all the knowledge and expertise about Meditation and Yoga aside. Meditation and different types of postures (Asanas) are of course useful but Patanjali, the Father of Yoga in his treatise on Yoga has not shown any Asana. He has only emphasised that 'Chitta Vrutty Nirodh' Yoga. If you control your mind or mind's attitudes and experience a feeling of 'Oneness' that is Yoga. That is connection with all that exists. Yoga literally means connection.
Providence has inspired this Program. Let us pray it may become a routine practice by the Humankind of planet Earth. Links in the accompanying attachment will help the reader to learn the practice of Shavasana and Meditation.

Scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles and Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn found that 12 minutes of daily yoga meditation for eight weeks increased telomerase activity by 43%, suggesting an improvement in stress-induced aging.”

Vinoba’s Sarva Dharma Prarthana translated in English



स्वस्थ एवं सफल जीवन की चाबी
सारा विश्व सर्व शक्तिमान सर्वत्र व्याप्त परम तत्व का आविष्कार है मनुष्य परम तत्व के आविष्कार का परम दर्शन है इस तत्व में हमारे शरीर के सभी कोषो के संचालन निरामय बनाए ऐसे गुण रहे है। इस सत्य को एलोपेथी विज्ञान के पिता हिपोक्रेटिस ने भी समर्थन दिया है। उन्होंने कहा है, "शरीरमे किसी भी प्रकार की व्याधि या जख्म पहोचे हो तो उसे मिटाने और फिरसे तंदुरस्त करने के लिए शरीर में ही शक्ति विद्यमान है" इस कुदरती शक्ति को उत्तेजित करने का सारा काम डॉक्टर के इलाज का महत्वूर्ण अंग है हमारे मन में किसी भी प्रकार की असंवादिता या भावना का उदभव हो तब परम तत्व की शक्ति को धीमी करता है। असंवादिता, भय और चिंता या कोई भी स्थल, व्यक्ति के प्रसगं के लिए द्वेषभाव वह परम तत्व की शक्ति के लिए अवरोधक बनता है। इस निराली सृष्टिमें परम तत्वके विविध स्वरूपो के साथ हम व्यव्हार करते है तब संवादिता बिखरजाए ये स्वाभाविक है। लेकिन हमारा मन बिखरी हुई संवादिता पर जितना समय व्यस्त रहे ओर उस असंवादिता को किसी भी तरह टालने का उपाय खोजने में जितना समय मग्न रहे, उतना समय हम परम तत्वकी शक्ति से दूर रहते हे परम तत्व की शक्ति हमारे अस्तित्व में जितना समय कुंठित रहे उतने समय दौरान नादुरस्त रहनेकी एवं हमारी प्रवृत्तिओमे निष्फलता मीलनेकी संभावना बढती जाती है परिणाम परम तत्व के गुणों का आर्विभाव हमारे अस्तित्वमे कमजोर रहता है। इस समस्या का हल हमारे परम तत्व की शक्तिका पूर्ण विश्वास और निष्ठासे आहवान करने में रहा है। मन में किसी भी प्रकार की असंवादिता का जन्म हो कि तुरत परम शक्ति याद करके उनका आहवान करें कि हे परम तत्व मेरी असंवादिताओ कों मूलसे नाश करके आपका तेजोमय प्रकाश हमारे अस्तित्व में प्रगट कर और इस तरह बनें एसी भावना मनमें रखें तो निरामय बनेंगे और हमारी सर्व मंगलमय एवं कल्याणकारी प्रवृत्त्तिओं में सफलता प्राप्त हो जिवन जिते कीसीभी क्षण कीसी भी कारणवश मनमें असंवादिता हो तो तुरंत ही उस पर से ध्यान हटाकर परम तत्व को पुरी श्रद्धा एवं निष्ठा से आहवान करके कोई कारण हो तो उस उपाय मे हम खुद जुडें उसके बदले ये असंवादिता कारणा को परमतत्व की शक्तिमें सोपे उस तत्व के प्रकाशकी ज्वाला उस कारणो से दूर करके एसी श्रद्धा रखे एवं उसके लिये प्रार्थना करीए हे परम तत्व हमारी खामीओ, जाने अनजानेमें हुई भूलों को माफ करने आपकी शक्ति का आहवान करता हुं सभी असंवादिता को भस्मीभूत करें एसी आपकी प्रचंड ज्वाला का भी आहवान करता हुं उस प्रचण्ड ज्वालामें सभी असंवादिता भस्मीभूत हो जाय एवं परम तत्व की शक्ति मेरे अस्तित्वमें खिले एसी भावना का प्रवेश मेरे मन में हो ईसलिए प्रार्थना करता हुं आपकी उस ज्वाला का कवच मेरे आसपास हमेंशा रहे जिससे मेरे मनमे असंवादिता प्रवेशे
तदुरस्त एवं सफल जिवन की यह चाबी है
