Over the years, the word 'yoga' has become synonymous with Hatha Yoga, a type of yoga that focusses on a set of physical postures to keep our bodies fit and healthy. However, there are many other types of yoga, with each having the same primary objective-the union of mind, body and spirit. Mantra Yoga also connects our lower selves with our higher selves through the sound vibrations emanating from mantras or japas.Despite the growing popularity of chanting mantras, the discipline and the rationale underlying this unique and distinct form of yoga have not been expounded in a manner that explains its enormous benefits. Fortunately, the Western world's insistence on scientific reasoning has led to numerous modern-day experiments that prove the physiological benefits of the ancient tradition of chanting mantras.This book will help the reader feel the power of connecting with the universe through vibrational frequencies and achieve their fullest potential.

This is an unsparing dissection of the current education system by someone who has managed to wade through it, comparatively unscathed.Unbroken and unshaken by a system that believes largely in the status-quo, writer Sid Sanghvi lays bare the truths about learning and the paradoxes in the ''system'' of education. He challenges age-old notions about how information is imparted, and argues that learning without any understanding of how to learn, is the root of the problem. The book takes a dispassionate look at the rights and wrongs perpetuated by the education system, both knowingly and unknowingly. There was a time when teachers kept a record of all the educating they had done: ''911,527 blows with a rod, 124,010 blows with a cane, 20,989 taps with a ruler, 136,715 blows with the hand, 10,235 blows to the mouth, 7,905 boxes on the ear, and 1,118,800 blows on the head,'' wrote one teacher in his personal diary.
