Anger Management Indo American Way
Let me bow to Indian Maharishi Patanjali with folded hands who helped in removing the impurities of the mind through his writings on Yoga, impurities of speech through his writings on grammar, and impurities of the body through his writings on Ayurveda.
The American justice department has recently approved the power of yoga and meditation via a recent judgment in the American court. "Man Who Slapped Wife Sentenced to Yoga, It's Anger Management, Says Judge." First, there was house arrest. Now there's yoga. A judge ordered a man convicted of slapping his wife to take a yoga class as part of his one-year probation. "It's part of anger management," County Criminal Court at Law Judge Larry Standley said of the ancient Hindu philosophy of exercise and well-being. "For people who are into it, it really calms them down." Standley, a former prosecutor, said the case of James Lee Cross was unique. Cross, a 53-year-old car salesman from Tomball, explained that his wife was struggling with a substance abuse problem and that he struck her on New Year's Eve during an argument about her drinking. "He was trying to get a hold of her because she has a problem," Standley said after the court hearing. "I thought this would help him realize that he only has control over himself." The sentence came as a surprise to Cross, who was told to enroll in a class and report back to Standley on his progress. "I'm not very familiar with it," Cross said of yoga. "From what I understand, it may help in a couple of ways, not only as far as mentally settling but maybe a little weight loss." Darla Magee, an instructor at Yoga Body Houston in River Oaks, said she would recommend that Cross take a basic yoga class emphasizing breathing and including a variety of postures -- forward bends, back bends, and twists. "Yoga can help us to get rid of many emotional issues we might have," she said. "It's a spiritual cleanse." Prosecutor Lincoln Goodwin agreed to a sentence of probation without jail time because Cross had no significant criminal history.
Yoga, one of the greatest Indian contributions to the world, has vast potential in all fields. In Tihar jail, India, Yoga is experimented among the inmates and found successful. Their criminal mentality is changed. This study aimed at investigating the effect of Vipassana Meditation (VM) on Quality of Life (QOL), Subjective Well-Being (SWB), and Criminal Propensity (CP) among inmates of Tihar Jail, Delhi. To this effect, the following hypotheses were formulated: 1. There will be a significant positive effect of VM on the QOL of inmates of Tihar jail. 2. VM will have a positive and significant effect on SWB of inmates. 3. Criminal propensity (CP) of inmates will decrease significantly after attending the VM course. 4. There will be a significant difference in SWB and CP of the experimental (Vipassana) group and control (non-Vipassana) group. 5. Male and female inmates will differ significantly in SWB and CP as a result of VM. In the famous "Time" magazine, the importance of meditation and yoga, an ancient Indian system, is highlighted, showing that the ancient mind- and spirit-enhancing art is becoming increasingly popular and gaining medical legitimacy. It is a multi-billion-dollar business in the US. In many universities, it is accepted as a subject and included in the syllabus. In the latest famous book "Inspire! What Great Leaders Do" written by Mr. Lance Secretan and recently published by John Wiley and Sons, the benefit of meditation is elaborately described for good corporate governance. By practicing transcendental meditation, or TM, many people have found relief from back pain, neck pain, and depression. The mind calms and quiets. What thoughts you have during meditation become clearer, more focused. Anger, anxiety, and worries give way to peace. In the world of exorbitant medical expenses, one can definitely make use of meditation. Maharshi Mahesh Yogi and Sri Ravi Shankar are popularizing this. The Iyengar Yoga Institute in the US is famous.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has inspired Arjuna to rise from his depression by preaching the Gita in the battlefield and to rise from the depression to do his duties. In the Holy Gita, we can see, being hidden by the cosmic overview of any institution beset with myriad problems, not the least of which is its lack of moral probity, there is a groundswell of educated people seeking answers to deeply personal but universally asked questions. Chief Executives are taking lessons from yoga, meditation, and learning how to deal with human resources equations in an enlightened manner. Individuals from every walk of life can get ideas on how to be better human beings, more balanced, and less stressed out.
Medical studies continue to show regular meditation working magic in reducing blood pressure and stress-related illnesses, including heart disease. Brain images show that regular meditation helps calm the most active sensory-assaulted parts of the brain. The ancient Hindu sage Patanjali, who had mastered the secrets of the human mind, has written a book "Yogasutra." In this book, we can see how superpowers can be achieved by meditation. It has both cosmic relevance and cosmic resonance. In spite of its universal appeal, for most people, total control of the mind remains an elusive goal and daunting task. From time immemorial, there have been many attempts throughout the world to unlock the mysteries of the mind and to achieve total control over it through a variety of techniques. One of the most powerful of these techniques is meditation.
Many spiritual leaders, sages, saints, and holy people such as Sri. Buddha, Sri Ramakrishna, Madam Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda have practiced this. One of the ways to control physiological reactions to psychological stimuli is meditation, Yoga, Zen Buddhism, etc. The scientists take Transcendental Meditation (TM) as the uniform technique and base their observations on the study of the subjects engaged in this form of meditation. In summing up the results, the scientists have come to the conclusion that the effect of meditation is a "wakeful, hypo-metabolic state." They have found that: 1) Yogis could slow both heart rate and the rate of respiration, 2) Yogis could slow the rate of metabolism as confirmed by decreased oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output. 3) Electroencephalogram (EEG - recording of brain activity) in Yogis showed changes of calmness in the form of "alpha rhythm" during both eyes closed and eyes open recordings. 4) Their skin resistance to electric stimulation was increased (indicating increased tolerance to external stimuli). Our usual 'defence-alarm' reaction to emotional and physical stress is in the form of "fright, flight, and fight" mediated through the over-secretion of certain neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, namely adrenaline and dopamine by way of the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Under the influence of these chemicals and hormones, we reflexively become panicky or aggressive, our blood pressure rises. Thus, stress and anxiety are the end result if we allow our natural age-old sympathetic reactions to act and to come to the surface. We try to run away, become fearful, or fight the situation. But today these 'defence-alarm' reactions have no place in our lives. Rather, they should be replaced by more calm and serene reactions of equanimity and fearlessness. The need is to just 'face the brute, and it will go away'. Such desirable reactions of non-aggression and a peaceful attitude are generated by Yoga and meditation. EEG Studies on Yogis and The Zen Meditations: Yogis practicing Raja-Yoga claim that during the state of samadhi, they are oblivious to the internal and external stimuli, and they enjoy a calm ecstasy during that state. A study was undertaken to record the electrical activity of their brain during this state by means of a regular and useful test known as electroencephalography (EEG). Physiological and experimental studies have demonstrated that the basis of the conscious state of the brain, among other things, is due to the activation of the "reticular system" in the brain-stem in response to internal and external stimuli. These stimuli bring about various changes during sleeping and wakeful states of the organism and these can be studied by EEG. The study was carried out on four subjects during the state of concentration and meditation. Effects of external stimuli, like a loud gong, strong light, thermal simulation, and vibrations were studied. The results were compiled and analyzed. It was observed that two Yogis could keep their hands immersed in extremely cold water for about 50 minutes (raised pain threshold). During the state of meditation, all of them showed persistent "alpha activity" in their EEG with an increased amplitude wave pattern, both during 'eyes closed' and 'eyes open' recordings. It was observed that these alpha activities could not be blocked by various sensory stimuli during meditation. It was also observed that those who had well-marked "alpha activity" in their resting EEG showed greater aptitude and zeal for maintaining the practice of Yoga. Similar observations and results were obtained when EEGs were recorded in persons adept in Zen Meditative technique. Can we say that only those persons who exhibit such recording of "alpha wave rhythm" in their EEG are fit for Yoga? and be designated as right candidates for meditation and Yoga practices? (Such experiments are indeed very few and the number of yogis examined is also very small. Therefore, scientifically and statistically these observations have only a tentative importance. Further research is definitely called for, albeit it will have its own limitations.) It is said that in the unknown period of Lord Jesus Christ, He was under meditation.

Hi,
There is no attachment with it. Did you forget to attach the file? I am sending you some poems for you.
This is for you:
Forget the suffering you caused others. Forget the suffering others caused you. The waters run and run, springs sparkle and are done. You walk the earth you are forgetting. Sometimes you hear a distant refrain. What does it mean, you ask, who is singing? A childlike sun grows warm. A grandson and a great-grandson are born. You are led by the hand once again. The names of the rivers remain with you. How endless those rivers seem! Your fields lie fallow, the city towers are not as they were. You stand at the threshold mute.
Other one:
Resting quietly beyond the edge of instinct are the flaws that created me. Emptiness is my savior though it causes broken behavior. "Oh, he did it." "It was he," speaking in the third person about the person in me. So I did it, so I didn't. Forgive and forget that you forgot how to forgive.
Another one:
Knows how to forget! But could it teach it? Easiest of Arts, they say when one learns how. Dull hearts have died in the acquisition. Sacrificed for Science is common, though, now -- I went to school but was not wiser. Globe did not teach it, nor logarithm show. "How to forget!" say -- some -- philosopher! Ah, to be erudite enough to know! Is it in a book? So, I could buy it -- Is it like a planet? Telescopes would know -- If it be invention, it must have a patent. Rabbi of the wise book, don't you know? Please don't mind.
