Abstract:

Aim: Nine‑center meditation of simplified Kundalini yoga was formulated by sage Vethathiri Maharishi and improves the functions of endocrine glands. It involves the following centers: Mooladhara, Swadhistana, Manipuraga, Anahatha, Visuddhi, Agna, Thuriya, Shakthi Kalam and Shiva kalam. Meditationis done on all the nine‑centers, seven of which are endocrine glands located within the physical body and Shakthi kalam, Shiva kalam are Universal field and absolute space respectively. Meditation commences at Mooladhara Chakra; followed by meditation on each of other chakras and concludeswhen the mind merges with absolute space. Mind is a magnetic wave with self‑rotating movement. The speed of mind is measured in terms of mental frequency. Scientists have discovered through the use of electro encephalograph (EEG) that the mind works at frequencies ranging from 1 to 40 cycles/s. Thesefrequencies have been classified into four. They are (1) beta wave (14–40 cps), (2) alpha wave (8–13 cps), (3) theta wave (4–7 cps), (4) delta wave (1–3 cps). Methods: To prove the research concept, forty‑four students of two different schools pursuing 11th standard were selected and chosen one asan experimental group and another one as a controlled group. The former group alone underwentand practiced the nine‑center meditation for 6‑month. The mind frequencies of the students of both groups were measured by EEG test in Vethathiri Maharishi’s Kundalini yoga research center and their body mass index (BMI), pulse rate, blood pressure (BP) were measured by a medical officer in thecenter. Results: The result show that after 6‑month regular practice of the nine‑center meditation, the former group of students progressed well compared to the later in the following: Increase in BMI, academic marks, harmony in relation with parents, teachers, friends and decrease in pulse rate, BP and mind frequencies. The nine‑center meditation regulates and promotes the functions of the endocrine glands and mind. Conclusion: That streamline and uplift physiological and psychological functions of humans especially student community very rapidly.
