In December 2014, barely three months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposal, the United Nations mandated June 21 as ‘International Yoga Day’. Pranayama of yoga called as ‘Cardiac Coherence Breathing’. The article nowhere mentions that Yoga and Pranayama has been one of the greatest gifts of Ancient India to the world. The relationship between social support and physiological processes: a review with emphasis on underlying mechanisms and implications for health. The Chinese call this energy qi, and Hindus call it prana (one of the key concepts of yoga).” Cardiac coherence: a new, noninvasive measure of autonomic nervous system order. In one more oblique reference, the article in the very beginning writes “As early as the first millennium B.C., both the Tao religion of China and Hinduism placed importance on a “vital principle” that flows through the body, a kind of energy or internal breath, and viewed respiration as one of its manifestations. The benefits of controlled respiration were first theoretically posited centuries ago by the practitioners of pranayama yoga.”

This practice, free as the air and just as inspiring. In one of the photo captions, the magazine writes “Yoga and meditation have inspired many of the breathing exercises used today. Heart coherence is a therapeutic practice recognized by the scientific world and recommended by doctors. Without mentioning India or ancient Indian knowledge system, the magazine writes “Pranayama (“breath retention”) yoga was the first doctrine to build a theory around respiratory control, holding that controlled breathing was a way to increase longevity.” introducing people to go deeper into the knowledge base rather than extracting, repackaging and selling bits of it will help humanity much more.”Ĭriticising the hypocrisy of the West, Shri Sanu said, “Isn't it interesting the West created an entire patent system to protect its current knowledge, but wants to neither acknowledge nor pay when it steals knowledge from ancient cultures (while attacking and destroying them as it did in South America)?” Because the living tradition of yoga comes with an entire knowledge base. When a netizen by the name of David Floren said how does it even matter where the origin of the technique was as long as people benefit out of it, Shri Sanu reminded him “It matters a lot. Cardiac Coherence corresponds to the interconnectivity reflex of the respiratory and cardiac systems, through the autonomous nervous system managing those. These techniques come from yoga, developed over millennia of research in India.” In this paper we propose pranayamas physiologic mechanism through a cellular and systems level perspective, involving both neural and non-neural elements.
