PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHTS FROM EPISODES IN BHĀSA'S PRATIMA NĀTAKAM: EXPLORING THE POWER OF SANKALPA
The concept of Sankalpa (resolve or intention) is a central element in Bhāsa's Pratima Nātakam, shaping the narrative structure and the psychological depth of its characters. Sankalpa is a driving force that governs their actions and influences their decisions, leading to the unfolding of the plot throughout the drama. The firmness of Sankalpa not only guides the progression of events but also reveals the internal struggles and external conflicts of the characters, making it a crucial component of the dramatic experience, thereby demonstrating the psychology of characters. Several established behavioral theories such as Lewin's Equation, the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Transtheoretical Model, and the Fogg Behavior Model offer structured, formula-based frameworks to general human conduct. Classical Sanskrit plays have not been examined through such structured approach, particularly for episodes and interlinkage between them. Addressing this gap, this study examines the role of Sankalpa through key prasanga (episode) from Pratima Nātakam that is Rajyabhisheka (the coronation) which manifests into Vanagamanam (the exile). Through this episode, this research explores the psychological insights of characters based on their roles and their respective Sankalpa towards their duties or wills thereby resulting in outcome in the form of next episode and the mark on the individual character. This study uncovers significant psychological insights through the coronation episode analysis. The Sankalpas reflect the internal struggles of the characters, their ethical dilemmas, and the tension between personal desires and moral obligations. This interplay between Sankalpa and consequence highlights universal aspects of human behavior and decision-making applicable to everyday life. As the manifestation of the coronation forms the entry point of the exile, the framework establishes a basis for analyzing the remaining episodes of Pratima Nātakam in future work and may further be extended to other classical Sanskrit plays to examine their psychological depth in a structured and objective manner.

PARIṆĀMATRAYA AND CONTEMPORARY PHYSICS: ANALYZING ONTOLOGICAL EQUIVALENTS IN QUANTUM DYNAMICS, TEMPORAL TRANSFORMATION, AND ENTROPY
This study explores the conceptual relationship between the Yogic doctrine of Pariṇāmatraya—the threefold process of transformation through dharma (धर्म), Lakshana (लक्षण), and avasthā—and selected principles in modern physics, particularly quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and entropic dynamics (Patañjali, 2019; Wheeler & Zurek, 1983). While these traditions emerged in very different intellectual and historical contexts, both are concerned with a common question: how change occurs within an ordered reality. The analysis undertaken in this study suggests that Pariṇāmatraya can be interpreted as a sophisticated ontological framework for understanding transformation. In this framework, dharma (धर्म) may be compared with the persistence of underlying structures and conservation principles that govern physical systems (von Neumann, 1955; Bennett & DiVincenzo, 2000). Lakshana (लक्षण), understood as the temporal transformation along with characteristic marking a particular phase of transformation, bears interesting similarities to emergent properties and measurement-related phenomena that become manifest under specific conditions (Zurek, 2003; Schlosshauer, 2007). Likewise, avasthā, which refers to the changing condition of an entity through time, invites comparison with thermodynamic evolution and the irreversible processes associated with increasing entropy (Boltzmann, 1896; Prigogine & Stengers, 1984). The purpose of these comparisons is not to suggest that classical Yogic thinkers anticipated modern scientific theories in a literal sense. Rather, the parallels point to a shared concern with continuity, change, and temporal development. By bringing these perspectives into dialogue, the study highlights the possibility that ancient philosophical models and contemporary scientific frameworks may offer complementary insights into the nature of transformation. Such a comparative approach opens new avenues for examining the relationship between persistence and novelty, order and change, and the temporal unfolding of physical reality.

रावण संहिता के संदर्भ में नौ चक्रों का मानसिक स्वास्थ्य पर प्रभाव: एक अध्ययन
भारतीय आध्यात्मिक परंपरा में चक्र प्रणाली को मानव चेतना के सूक्ष्म मानचित्र के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया है। जहाँ सामान्यतः सात चक्रों की चर्चा प्रचलित है, वहीं “रावण संहिता” जैसे गूढ़ तंत्र ग्रंथों में नौ विशिष्ट ऊर्जा केंद्रों का विस्तृत वर्णन मिलता है - ब्रह्मा चक्र, स्वाधिष्ठान, मणिपुर, अनाहत, विशुद्ध, आज्ञा, तालु, ब्रह्मरंध्र और सहस्रार। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र इन नौ चक्रों के मानसिक और भावनात्मक स्वास्थ्य पर पड़ने वाले प्रभाव का विश्लेषणात्मक अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करता है। यह अध्ययन इस तथ्य को रेखांकित करता है कि “ये चक्र मन की स्थिरता के आधार या केंद्र के रूप में काम करते हैं।” की भाँति कार्य करते हैं। उदाहरणार्थ, ब्रह्मा चक्र सुरक्षा और स्थिरता की भावना से जुड़ा है, और स्थिरता का बोध कराता है, जबकि अनाहत (हृदय चक्र) प्रेम, करुणा और संबंधों की संवेदनशीलता को विकसित करता है। शोध का मुख्य निष्कर्ष यह है कि जब इन सूक्ष्म ऊर्जा केंद्रों में प्रवाह बाधित होता है, तो यह केवल शारीरिक थकान तक सीमित नहीं रहता, बल्कि चिंता, अवसाद, आत्म-संदेह और अनियंत्रित तनाव जैसी आधुनिक मानसिक स्वास्थ्य चुनौतियों के रूप में प्रकट होता है। यह अध्ययन पारंपरिक योग और ध्यान जैसी प्रक्रियाओं के माध्यम से चक्र संतुलन की विधियों की समीक्षा करते हुए प्राचीन ज्ञान और आधुनिक मनोविज्ञान के बीच एक सेतु (Bridge) स्थापित करता है। यद्यपि इस क्षेत्र में अधिक वैज्ञानिक प्रमाणों और नियंत्रित अध्ययनों की आवश्यकता है, यह शोध “चक्र संतुलन” को मानसिक स्वास्थ्य उपचार में एक पूरक और समग्र (Holistic) पद्धति के रूप में अपनाने की संभावनाओं को दृढ़ता से प्रस्तुत करता है। अंततः, यह अध्ययन “रावण संहिता” के प्राचीन ज्ञान को आधुनिक जीवन की मानसिक जटिलताओं को सुलझाने के लिए एक नवीन और प्रासंगिक दिशा प्रदान करने का प्रयास है।

कर्मयोग कर्तव्यबोध का विज्ञान: एक मनोविश्लेषणात्मक दृष्टि
वर्तमान समाज में अकर्मण्य मानसिकता पुरूषार्थ को अपनी वाणी का आभूषण बनाकर सफलता का श्रेय एवं पारितोषिक फल की महत्वाकांक्षा से ग्रसित है। समाज का एक बड़ा वर्ग कुछ न करने की प्रवृत्ति को अपना स्वभाव एवं स्वाभिमान मान बैठा है। अगर अन्तस् में कुछ करने की प्रेरणा जाग्रत होती है तो वह अपने मूल उत्तरदायित्वों के अतिरिक्त अन्य सब कुछ करने की चेष्ठा करता है। इस प्रकार वर्तमान में अधिकांश व्यक्ति स्वधर्म अथवा स्वकर्म से च्युत् होकर मान, सम्मान, यश, पद, प्रतिष्ठा और गौरव की भूख से पीड़ित है। अकर्मण्य होकर तथा दूसरों के कार्य में व्यवधान उत्पन्न करने वाले स्वघोषित साधक, धार्मिक, दर्शनिक एवं नैतिकता का छलावा करने वाले लोगों को प्राण एवं चेतना की दृष्टि देने का कार्य कर्मयोग करता है। कर्मयोग कर्तव्यबोध का अप्रतिम साधन है। कर्मयोग कर्म में समर्पण को जोड़ता है, समर्पण अहंकार को तोड़ता है, अहंकार का अभाव स्वयं से जोड़ता है, स्व से जुड़ा हुआ व्यक्ति स्वयं के कर्तव्य से स्वतः जुड़ जाता है। कर्तव्य का बोध सभी धर्मादि पुरूषार्थ से जोड़ता है तथा एक स्वस्थ समाज के निर्माण में अपनी भूमिका का निर्वहन करता है।

निष्काम कर्मयोग की दार्शनिक अवधारणा और आधुनिक प्रासंगिकता : एक अध्ययन
श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता यह केवल धार्मिक ग्रंथ नही है, भारतीय आध्यात्मिक साहित्य का एक अत्यंत अलौकिक और प्रेरणादायक दिव्य ग्रंथ है, जिसमें दार्शनिक, नैतिक और मनोवैज्ञानिक आयामों को कर्मयोग, ज्ञानयोग और भक्तियोग के माध्यम से मानव जीवन के उद्देश्य, मानव जीवन की उन्नति, जीवन विकास और कर्तव्य का विवेचन किया है । भगवद्गीता की एक विशिष्टता है कि इसमें अर्जुन के विषाद और कर्तव्य-विमूढ़ता के माध्यम से समस्त मानव जीवन की जटिल समस्याओं का समाधान प्रस्तुत किया गया है। जीवन के हर पल आने वाले छोटे बड़े संघर्ष का सहस पुरक सामना करने की शक्ति प्रदान करती है। भगवद्गीता का केंद्रीय सिद्धांत निष्काम कर्मयोग है, जो व्यक्ति को फलासक्ति से मुक्त करके मानसिक शुद्धि, चित्त की स्थिरता, आत्मशुद्धि तथा आत्मोन्नति की दिशा में अग्रेसर करता है। निष्काम कर्मयोग का आशय कभी भी कर्म से पलायन नहीं है , परंतु अपने कर्तव्यों का पालन बिना किसी भी फल की अपेक्षा से करना है । लोकमान्य बाल गंगाधर तिलक ने ‘गीता रहस्य’ में कर्मयोग को गीता का मूल तत्त्व के रूप मे स्वीकारा और और इसे राष्ट्रीय पुनर्निर्माण का आधार माना । भगवान श्रीकृष्णजी के अनुसार कोई भी प्राणी एक क्षण भी कर्म किए बिना नहीं रह सकता, किंतु कर्म को बंधनमुक्त तभी बनाया जा सकता है जब वह आसक्ति से रहित हो। क्योंकि मनुष्य को केवल कर्म करने का अधिकार है, फल पर उसका अधिकार नही होता है । आसक्ति से मुक्त रहना, जिससे मनुष्य अपने कर्म बंधन से मुक्त होता है। आसक्ति रहित कर्म का मतलब कर्म का त्याग करना नहीं है, फल की अपेक्षा से स्वयं को मुक्त करना ही त्याग होता है । भगवद्गीता निष्काम कर्म को ही आत्मोन्नति का सर्वश्रेष्ठ साधन कहा है। भगवद्गीता मे कर्म योग को ‘निष्काम कर्म योग’, ‘बुद्धि योग’,और केवल योग के नाम से भी वर्णन किया है। यह शोध-पत्र निष्काम कर्मयोग की दार्शनिक अवधारणा का विश्लेषण करते हुए आधुनिक जीवन की मानसिक, सामाजिक एवं नैतिक समस्याओं के समाधान में इसकी प्रासंगिकता का समीक्षात्मक अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करता है।

HORMETIC NEUROIMMUNE REGULATION: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF CONTROLLED HYPERVENTILATION AND COLD EXPOSURE
The Wim Hof Method (WHM), characterized by cyclic hyperventilation followed by breath retention and voluntary cold immersion, has garnered substantial scientific attention for its capacity to modulate the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the innate immune response. While the foundational landmark research conducted at Radboud University in 2014 demonstrated for the first time that practitioners could voluntarily suppress the innate immune response upon injection with Escherichia coli (E. coli) endotoxin — primarily via a profound surge in endogenous epinephrine — contemporary literature (2022–2026) has progressively shifted the narrative toward evaluating WHM efficacy in psychological stress inoculation, emotional regulation, and long-term neuroimmune resilience across diverse demographic cohorts. This comparative review synthesizes the landmark Kox et al. (2014) Radboud University study with contemporary research published between 2022 and 2026, evaluating the WHM as a hormetic tool for mental health, neuroimmune modulation, and integrative clinical practice. A cross-systems analytical framework was employed to examine trials involving diverse cohorts, including a 2024 randomized controlled trial in women (Blades et al., 2024), a student-population stress intervention (Woortmeijer, 2024), replication studies (Zwaag et al., 2022), and qualitative investigations of practitioner experience and mindset expectancy (van Middendorp et al., 2016). The review further examines the physiological trajectory from acute sympathetic activation to long-term parasympathetic resilience, framed through the mechanistic lens of the Epinephrine–Cytokine Axis, HIF-1α signalling, and Vagus Nerve modulation. The synthesized evidence suggests that WHM practice reduces perceived stress by approximately 18–20%, significantly diminishes daily rumination, and produces reproducible cytokine attenuation consistent across sex, age, and training duration. Qualitative data highlights a subjective "reset" of the vagus nerve and enhanced interoceptive awareness mediated by the Insular Cortex. Crucially, this review establishes a comparative framework between WHM-induced hormesis and traditional Yogic (Pranayama) and Naturopathic (Hydrotherapy) methodologies, offering a scientific vocabulary for ancient wisdom and a novel clinical protocol for students of Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences (BNYS).

THE EFFECT OF YOGASANA AND NADI SHODHANA PRANAYAMA ON BACK PAIN AMONG MIDDLE-AGED HOUSEWIVES
Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a common issue among middle-aged housewives, often resulting from poor posture, weak back muscles, and stress. Non-pharmacological interventions such as yoga, including Yogasana and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, have been explored for their therapeutic benefits in alleviating pain and improving quality of life. Method: The study included 50 middle-aged housewives with back pain. Participants were assessed for back pain severity using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after a 1.5-month intervention involving daily practice of Yogasana and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests was conducted to evaluate the impact of the intervention. Results: The results showed a significant reduction in mean back pain scores from 7.32 (SD = 1.78) pre-intervention to 4.55 (SD = 1.43) post-intervention (t = 29.37, p < 0.0001). This significant improvement highlights the effectiveness of the combined yogic practices in alleviating back pain. Conclusions: The study concludes that Yogasana and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama are effective non-pharmacological interventions for reducing back pain among middle-aged housewives. These practices improve physical flexibility, strengthen back muscles, and promote relaxation, addressing both the physical and psychological dimensions of pain. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating yoga into daily routines for sustainable health benefits and encourage further research on long-term effects and broader demographic applications.

Effectiveness of a Structured Yoga Intervention on overall Quality of Life among Working Women
Quality of life is a multidimensional construct reflecting an individual’s ability to harmonize professional responsibilities with personal and social roles. Among working women, competing role demands often result in stress and reduced well-being. Grounded in role theory, spillover theory, and the holistic framework of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga, the present study examined the effectiveness of a structured yoga intervention on overall quality of life among working women. A single-group pre–post research design was adopted with a purposive sample of 60 working women aged 25–50 years from the IT sector. Participants underwent a 50-minute structured yoga intervention comprising loosening exercises, asanas, pranayama, chakra chanting, and guided meditation. Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF. Paired sample t-test analysis revealed a significant improvement in quality of life following the intervention (t (59) = 13.066, p < .001). The findings suggest that yoga is an effective holistic intervention for enhancing quality of life among working women.

આસનો દ્વારા પીઠના દુઃખાવાના નિવારણ માટે યોગાચાર્ય સ્વામી કૃપાલ્વાનંદજી નું ચિંતન
પીઠનો દુઃખાવો એક સામાન્ય અને દુઃખદાયક સ્થિતિ છે, જે ઘણીવાર યાંત્રિક તણાવ, શારીરિક-માનસિક તણાવ, ઉંમરને લગતી સમસ્યાઓ અથવા નુકસાનને કારણે થાય છે. આ દુઃખાવો સામાન્ય રીતે ગંભીર નથી હોતો અને જલ્દી રાહત મળી જાય છે. કરોડરજ્જુ જટિલ યંત્રની જેમ કામ કરે છે, જે શરીરનું વજન સહન કરે છે અને લવચીકતા જાળવે છે. માણસના બે પગ પર ઊભા રહેવાથી ગુરૂત્વાકર્ષણનું કેન્દ્ર મર્યાદિત થયું છે, જેના કારણે કરોડરજ્જુ પર વધુ ભાર પડે છે. હાડકાં, મણકાં, અસ્થિબંધ, સ્નાયુઓ, રક્તવાહિનીઓ અને જ્ઞાનતંતુઓનું જટિલ સંયોજન કરોડરજ્જુની રચના બનાવે છે. આમાંથી કોઈપણ ભાગને ઈજા કે તણાવ થાય તો પીઠના દુઃખાવા, ખાસ કરીને ગરદન અને કમરના નીચેના ભાગમાં દુઃખાવો થાય છે.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SOCIAL ANXIETY AND EMOTION REGULATION AMONG YOGA PRACTITIONERS AND NON-PRACTITIONERS
Social anxiety is a prevalent psychological condition characterized by intense fear of social scrutiny, often leading to emotional dysregulation and impaired functioning. While mind-body practices such as yoga has shown positive. impact on various kinds of anxiety. This study examines the comparison in the levels of social anxiety and emotion regulation between yoga practitioners and non-practitioners. A total of 160 participants were divided in two groups yoga practitioners and non-yoga practitioners (n= 80 in each group) to assess the levels of social anxiety and emotion regulation strategies. Independent t-tests analyzed group differences in social anxiety, avoidance, cognitive reappraisal, and expressive suppression. Yoga practitioners showed significantly lower social anxiety (p<0.01) and avoidance (p<0.01) compared to non-practitioners. Expressive suppression was also lower among yoga practitioners (p<0.01), while cognitive reappraisal scores were unexpectedly higher in non-practitioners (p<0.01). Thus, this study supports yoga's potential benefits for social anxiety management, particularly in reducing suppression and avoidance behaviors.

THE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF PADMASANA (LOTUS POSE) IN LAKULISH LINEAGE
Padmasana, or Lotus Pose, is one of the most popular and traditional postures in yoga and meditation. Profound physical, mental, and spiritual benefits are often associated with this posture, particularly in the context of deep meditation, inner peace, and enhanced concentration. The deep meaning of Padmasana (Lotus Pose) in the Lakulish Yoga tradition as explained by Swami Rajarshi Muni is examined in this study article. According to the research, Padmasana is a transforming practice that is essential to meditation, kundalini activation, and spiritual awakening in the Lakulish tradition. It is not just a physical posture. This study illustrates how Padmasana serves as a fundamental practice that unites physical discipline with metaphysical insight, exemplifying the holistic approach typical of Lakulish Yoga, by drawing on the teachings and experiences of Swami Rajarshi Muni. To guarantee correct alignment and optimal effect, Padmasana is performed according to a set of guidelines. By creating a triangle platform that supports the spine in perfect vertical alignment, Padmasana facilitates the circulation of energy via the subtle pathways of the body. Scientifically, it helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and enhancing cognitive functions. Spiritually, it activates the Muladhara (root) and Sahasrara (crown) chakras, facilitating energy flow and meditation. Despite its benefits, individuals with knee, ankle, or hip injuries should practice it with caution. Regular practice of Padmasana fosters physical stability, mental clarity, and spiritual growth, making it a cornerstone of holistic well-being. Therefore, this paper intends to discuss the history along with the physical and psychological benefits of Padmasana as well as its relevance to contemporary yoga practice and scientific justification for its therapeutic value.

APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF YOGA VASISTHA TO ENHANCE THE STUDY PRACTICES AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF MODERN-DAY STUDENTS
The integration of ancient wisdom with contemporary practices can offer valuable insights into improving modern education. This paper explores the principles found in Yoga Vasistha—a key text in the Vedantic tradition—and applies them to the study habits and academic performance of students. Specifically, it focuses on two sets of principles: the four "gatekeepers to Nirvana"—self-control, inquiry, contentment, and company of holy ones—and the four parameters that define the outcome of any action: place (Desha), time (Kaal), material (Dravya), and quality of action (Kriya). By applying these principles, the paper proposes methods for students to enhance the quality of their studies, increase focus, and achieve desired academic outcomes. The Yoga Vasistha suggests these parameters as a gateway to liberation, Moksha. However, for a student, achieving great success in his studies can be envisioned as achieving Moksha. This paper suggests practical ways to incorporate these timeless teachings into the modern student's routine, aiming to achieve greater academic success.

હિન્દુસ્તાની શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીતમાં સંસ્કૃત ભાષાનું મહત્વ અને વૈશ્વિક સ્વાસ્થ્ય
ભારતીય શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીત ભારતીય સંસ્કૃતિનું મહત્વનું અંગ છે. સંસ્કૃત ભાષા, ભારતીય સંસ્કૃતિની મૂળભૂત ભાષા, આ કલાને સમૃદ્ધ બનાવે છે. હિન્દુસ્તાની શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીત અને સંસ્કૃત ભાષા વચ્ચે એક ઊંડો અને પ્રાચીન સંબંધ છે, જે સંગીતના તત્વો અને સાહિત્યને આધ્યાત્મિક ઊંચાઈ સુધી પહોંચાડે છે. સંસ્કૃત ભાષા ધ્વનિ પ્રધાન ભાષા છે. સંસ્કૃતના મૂળાક્ષરો મૂળભૂત નાદમાંથી ઉદભવ્યા છે. આ રીતે પ્રાચીન સમયથી સંસ્કૃત અને હિન્દુસ્તાની સંગીતના મૂળભૂત તત્ત્વો પરસ્પર ઓતપ્રોત રહ્યા છે. સંસ્કૃતના મંત્રો, શ્લોકો અને રાગસંગીતના મૂળભૂત તત્વો નાદબ્રહ્મનો પ્રારંભ છે. શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીતમાં સંસ્કૃત ભાષાનો ઉપયોગ માત્ર તકનિકી શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીતની શરતો અથવા શબ્દો સુધી મર્યાદિત નથી, પરંતુ તે સંગીતને આધ્યાત્મિક ઊંચાઈએ પહોંચાડે છે. આજે વૈશ્વિક સ્તરે માનસિક સ્વાસ્થ્ય, શાંતિ અને ક્યારેક રોગોપચાર માટે હિન્દુસ્તાની શાસ્ત્રીય સંગીતનો ઉપયોગ થાય છે. રાગ ભૈરવી, રાગ યમન વગેરે, મન અને શરીર પર સકારાત્મક પ્રભાવ પેદા કરે છે. જે રાગોની થેરાપ્યુટિક શક્તિ દર્શાવે છે. આ પ્રભાવ સંસ્કૃત મંત્રોના ગાન દ્વારા વધે છે, જે ધ્યાન અને મનની શાંતિમાં સહાયરૂપ છે.

IDENTIFYING THEMES ON YOGA FROM SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
This study systematically reviews and synthesizes existing literature on yoga to identify key themes, trends, and research gaps. A dataset of 3,000 research papers published up to 2024 was retrieved from the Scopus database, with approximately 200 papers selected annually. A rigorous filtration process refined the dataset, resulting in a final set for analysis. The study employed factor analysis to extract and group related terms, revealing overarching themes such as Quality of Life Enhancement, Evidence-Based Yoga Research, Mental Health and Emotional Well-being, Yoga as Complementary Therapy, and Yoga Clinical Testing & Intervention Efficacy. The analysis also highlighted the role of yoga in pain management, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and specific demographic groups such as adults and women. The findings underscore yoga’s potential in improving both mental and physical health outcomes, with specific attention to mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress. It also emphasizes the need for more clinical studies, particularly randomized controlled trials (RCTs), to validate yoga’s effectiveness as a complementary therapy. Additionally, the study suggests exploring yoga’s role in chronic pain management, health management for conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and its integration into multidisciplinary healthcare programs. Future research could focus on tailoring yoga interventions for targeted demographics, such as women and older adults, and investigating the synergy between mindfulness and yoga. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving field of yoga research and sets the stage for further studies to enhance the understanding and application of yoga in healthcare.

LORD KRISHNA’S WISDOM: A BLUEPRINT FOR EXISTENTIAL THERAPY
This paper attempts to explore how the teachings of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita align with Existential philosophy. The so-called “Four Givens” of existentialism: Freedom (or responsibility), Meaningless (or absurdity), Isolation, and Death are closely related to the teachings of Lord Krishna as applied in his discourse with Arjuna. The paper study explores how the assistance given to Arjuna fits into the concept of Existential Therapy and how the understanding and implementation of principles like self-realisation, duty (dharma) and the understanding of sufferings in the light of Bhagavad Gita, can help overcome one’s existential crisis. By highlighting the concepts of Indian Culture in the context of Existential Therapy, we can create a pattern of therapy that is more culturally sensitive and accessible to a wider range of Indian clients. The Bhagavad Gita provides a profound existential framework with its emphasis on self-awareness, duty, and inner peace, with Lord Krishna acting as the first counselor, guiding Arjuna through life’s core challenges. By addressing themes of meaning, choice, and mortality, Krishna’s wisdom offers insights that align with modern existential therapy that can be integrated into contemporary therapy for helping individuals find purpose and resilience in their lives.
