Superbrain Yoga

My friend recently sent me a link to a video about superbrain yoga that was broadcast by the Los Angels CBS2 station. Unbelievable it is!!!

(If you haven't watched it already, please stop and watch it before you read further...)




This was first sited by Master Choa Kok Sui, who is an international lecturer and believes in energy healing and brain techniques to increase intellectual capacity.The neurologists, teachers, doctors and other scientifically grounded individuals are advocating this practice as a way to help super-energize the brain and enhance sharpness and clarity. It is also considered as a possible cure for autism and Alzheimer's.

Wow! Isn't it amazing! The ancient Indian practice has got a fancy name and world-wide publicity! And who has got the credit for it? The Chinese master? Or the oldest living Indian who practices it? Is this technique different from the original one? Of course it is. It is an enhanced version - you can do it in your bedroom or living room, over the yoga mat watching TV. The ancient technique had some loopholes - it can be done only in temples as part of worship or at times when you do some mistake as part of punishment.
Should we Indians care that this technique that has its origin in India is now portrayed as a brain enhancement mantra? We know it is an ancient "Indian practice" and so that is the truth. But what happens years and years later. For example, "who invented zero?". I don't think many would know the fact that it has its origin in ancient India in the 9th century AD. It reached Europe only in 11th century where it was showcased by famous Italian mathematician Fibonacci in European mathematics.
So after 1000s of years from now, our history books may quote that the invention of super power yoga technique changed the world - it got the world out of the greatest recession! Sounds impressive - right?

For people who feel that "I could have published a book on superbrain yoga and could have become famous!".. don't fret, there are yet many ancient Indian practices still waiting to get a face lift. Here is one. The practice of adding "turmeric" in food dates back to ancient times. It is considered as an essential ingredient in most of Indian recipes. Turmeric cures many kind of skin diseases and urinary diseases, kills germs in intestine and curb away the unwanted substances from the food. It is also a proven cure for gas trouble and burning sensation in stomach. Ayurveda reveals that if you prepare a paste of turmeric and consume it regularly, it leaves your body in high spirits. Indian cosmetic industry has already advertised its use in the face creams. But it is still a not-so-famous ingredient in American food and beauty recipe. There is still an opportunity to add turmeric to burgers and pizza, give fancy names to it and advertise its extra-ordinary affects on the human body and claim proprietary rights!

Did you know walking barefoot in rough surface increases the blood circulation of the body and ultimately to a healthy life? Here we go - another Indian practice waiting for a dress-up. Modern medical science hails the arguments in favor of walking barefooted. As one walks along a rough surface, pressure is incurred under the feet directly and stimulate the functioning of the body. The nervous system under the feet that extends from the toe to the heel is directly connected to internal parts of the body such as brain, heart, kidney, liver etc. The stimulation received under the feet enhances the functioning of these parts.
"Nike" and other footwear companies, the time is running up! Before the world starts walking barefoot, come up with a new footwear product that aligns with this ancient Indian concept, patent it, and create a footwear revolution!
