Dr H. Kumar Kaul received his school education in Hadow Memorial Mission School Srinagar (Kashmir). As College Student he distinguished himself as the best actor best debater, best swimmer, best sportsman, best scholar. His enviable performance in these diverse fields, brought in its wake the highest honour. All Round Best to him. He Passed his M.A. (English Literature) and B. Ed. (Kashmir University) Diploma in Journalism (Delhi University) and Ph. D. from Punjabi University Patiala.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In 1963, he joined D.A.Y. College Abohar (Punjab) and remained Head of the Department of English for ten years. In 1975, became Principal S.D. College, Barnala (Punjab). He has been practicing Yoga for the last 40 years. He is a member of the All India Yoga Association Delhi, member of the Yoga Academy, Banaras, Chairman (Yoga) Mission International Faridabad, Trustee of the International Centre of the study of Tantra Yoga, New Delhi. He has won many distinctions and Awards in the National Yogasana Competitions. Dr. Kaul is prolific writer. His 46 books on Yoga have been widely acclaimed in and outside India. His 220 Research Papers on Yoga have been published in National and International Magazines and Newspapers. His talks on Yoga therapy have been broadcast from All India Radio, Jallandhar. Due to his extraordinary contribution in the field of yoga title of Yogacharya was conferred upon him in 1998. Yoga Ratna in 1999,Yoga Pursha in 2000 in the world Yoga Conferences. Yoga Shiromaini was conferred upon him by the Mission International Faridabad in 2001. In 1998, he was selected Senior Vice President of the Indian Council for Research in Yoga and a Member of the Governing Council of the World Yoga Parishad. He is founder President of Swami Virjanand Yoga Sadhna Kendra, Barnala. Dr. H. Kumar Kaul is broad-reservoir of ideas and experience-a dynamic Personality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eForeword \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e The highly sophisticated modem man is intellectually brilliant, scientifically analytical, flamboyantly hyper- active, and fiercely ambitious, but unfortunately he is physically disease-ridden, mentally depressed, morally decrepit and spiritually bankrupt. The resultant rank materialistic life has made man a complex-chaotic entity, and he is blissfully ignorant of the divinity within himself and his potential to be ever happy. The real answer to the above is not to denounce or renounce materialism, which has come to stay, but have a firm material base, with the mind intent on acquiring spiritual enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Thus, while the outer material world is fantastic, the inner world of body and mind is in shambles, making man a helpless victim of degenerative diseases. Hence, this book \"Encyclopaedia of Yoga for Common Diseases\" by Dr. H. Kumar Kaul is a boon to mankind. In, his characteristic lucid exposition, Dr. Kaul has indicated how diabetes, declared by modern medicine as incurable, can be cured by yogasanas and pranayama. He also says that shallow breathing by man which exposes him to many physical and mental problems, can be erased by pranayama.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Aware of the fact that at present undisciplined eating habits are on the increase causing diabetes, the author has stressed on the importance of proper diet, consumed with discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The author has also explained how the disease of diabetes, which is dangerously subtle and tends to slowly eat into vital organs, has been in existence from Encyclopaedia of Yoga for Common Diseases ancient times, and at present is rampant throughout the world, both among old and young, rich and poor as well. Some statistics have averred that India at present enjoys the dubious distinction of having the largest percentage of diabetics in the world. Further, like other degenerative diseases, diabetes is inherited from the parents. Hence, it is imperative that this book should be studied carefully and contents practised assiduously, not only for cure but also for prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Dr. Kaul, with his extensive knowledge, has aptly commenced his book with a quotation from Dhammapad, which avers, \"no one helps us but ourselves\", whether to cure diseases like diabetes or achieve ultimate peace and happiness. In fact, Yoga in its totality beckons man to find physical health and mental peace in oneself, and finally realise God in oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The existing religions so far have not only failed to bring peace and harmony but also brought unfortunately discord and dissentions among people. All the \"Isms\" have also failed to solve man's problems and bring happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Hence, Yoga in its \"Totality\" (\"Poorna Yoga\" as it is also called) appears to be the answer. While Hatha Yoga brings health and strength through asana and pranayama, Karma Yoga with devoted action followed by ready acceptance and yagna-spirit of sharing, ushers in prosperity and quietitude, and Bhakti and Gnana Yogas bless man with ultimate bliss. In fact, Raja Yoga helps man acquire all these, of course through different techniques. Unfortunately, there are very few \"Poorna Yoga\" personalities, like Lord Krishna in any age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Hyper-activity aimed at increased productivity and consequent wealth, followed by physical and mental ailments, appears to be the order of the day. The author, at the age of 70, is a shining example of one who is \"hyper-active\", engaged in all-round production, yet endowed with physical health, mental peace and spiritual knowledge. This achievement has been possible for him because of his being a devotee of Purna Yoga.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Dr. Kaul is popular with the Yoga community of India. May he, by God's grace and the powers attained by him through Poorna Yoga, live a hundred years and be a torch-bearer of all Yoga ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreface \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e Modern man, mesmerized by the glitter of luxuries provided by the present technological civilization, has Unfortunately lapsed into laziness where the discipline of the body is concerned and failed to mentally rediscover his own divine nature. Further, in view of the existing cut-throat competition, limitless ambition, enormous thirst for wealth, combined with irresponsible indulgence in food and sex, have hardened our hearts, silenced our scruples and corrupted our moral base leading to heart, diabetes, depression and other diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The book \"Encyclopaedia of Yoga for Common Diseases\" has aptly described in detail how some diseases at present pose a major challenge to life and longevity. Just as business management is most important, whether it is hotel or hospital, household or industry, the correct management of all the organs of our body is essential. The key organ that works non- stop from birth to death all the 24 hours, is the heart. For the heart to be healthy one must entertain healthy thoughts in the mind, and adopt yogic way of life. In fact, holistic health is essential for one to have a healthy heart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the treatment of many diseases, unnecessary medication is discouraged, as most drugs have harmful side effects. As a cure the book \"Encyclopaedia of Yoga for Common Diseases\", prescribes yoga in its entirety. Hatha Yoga for the body, Raja Yoga for the mind and Gnana Yoga for scaling spiritual heights. The yoga in its entirety has been detailed in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Coming to the subject of cure, the books stress the important role of Asanas practiced with Pranayama. Asanas without pranayama degenerate into mere physical jerks. Yogasanas not only aim at strengthening the inner organs like the heart, the lungs, digestive organs, and endocrine glands but also bring about development of body and mind with regular practice of yogasanas with pranayama most ailments can be nipped in the bud.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Many ladies, who work both in the house and outside as well, tend to believe that they need no yoga or any exercise. I wish to inform such ladies to perform selected Asanas with pranayama to lead a disease-free life to enjoy both health and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e About Pranayama, it is said that \"To breathe is to live and to be alive is to breathe.\" The prevalent abundant pollution, stressful conditions of life, faulty food habits, faulty style of living-all make pranayama absolutely essential. In each inhalation we breathe in both oxygen and \"prana\" otherwise called vital force \"Cosmic Energy\". While the oxygen goes to the lungs to purify the blood, the prana is stored in the nervous system. Higher types of Pranayama help to make man to spiritual heights. \"Food is thy Medicine,\" is a wise saying from a great man, which very few follow at present. Increasing number of palatable dishes, that only cater to taste are flooding the market. Errors in diet can give rise to many ailments and diseases. Lord Krishna told Saint Udhava, \"Jitam Sarvam Kite Rase,\" he who controls taste controls everything. In the book Balanced Diet and Yogic Diet have been discussed in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In the relentless pursuit of wealth, power and position and all the things that follow them many have become \"work-o-holics\" with no capacity whatever to relax and sleep properly. Such people take recourse to \"drugs, happy pills, tranquillizers,\" smoking and alcohol. These may give a temporary relief, but ultimately land them in diseases-physical and mental. In fact, such people are potential heart-disease patients. Jogging and other physical exercises tend to strain the heart. On the other hand yogic relaxation in Shavasana with rhythmic breathing gives \"Super-relaxation,\" providing required relaxation and rest to both body and mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Yoga treats human body as a flower. Yogasanas give exercise to every system and every organ in the body. The word yoga has a long history. It is an integral subjective science. Its divisions into spiritual, mental or physical cannot be separated from each other. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root \"yujir\" meaning \"to yoke\" or \"union\" or \"to join\" Viyoga is the opposite of this implying \"Separation\". Yoga is the restoration of \"Swaroopa\" or absolute peace. Yoga is equanimity, serenity and control of the senses and the mind. Yoga is a technique, a way of life, a path, a method that has something to offer to everyone, men and women, irrespective of age, faith or clime. No branch of yoga is more popular and more misunderstood than the Hatha Yoga. The word \"Hatha\" is derived from the ancient Sanskrit words \"Ha\" and \"Tha\" meaning The Sun and The Moon. These symbols refer to the metaphysical and physical aspects of yoga. Our physical and mental faculties must be so trained that they shall function with rhythm and harmony. Yoga is an ideal system for attaining harmonious development of body, mind and mental health. Patanjali states in his \"Sutras\" that harmonious development of body, mind and soul can be obtained through the eight limbs of yoga:-\u003cbr\u003e 1. Yama: (Abstinence) moral conduct, truthfulness, non -covetousness.\u003cbr\u003e 2. Niyama (Observances) of cleanliness, contentment, self-discipline, study and self-surrender to God.\u003cbr\u003e 3. Asanas (Right postures).\u003cbr\u003e 4. Pranayama (Breath control) control of prana by regulating breathing processes of inspiration, expiration and retention of breath.\u003cbr\u003e 5. Dharna (Concentration) fixing the mind .on one subject or point.\u003cbr\u003e 6. Pratyahara (Sense withdrawal) turning the senses in word and withdrawing them from external objects.\u003cbr\u003e 7. Dhyana (Contemplation) or Meditation keeping the mind fixed exclusively on one subject or idea for something without any interruption.\u003cbr\u003e 8. Samadhi (Self-realisation) super conscious experience in trance where enlightenment or union with self takes place.\u003cbr\u003e Because of numerous requests from patients and yoga students I have undertaken to write this book so that even in the absence of a teacher one can practise daily this science of yoga to maintain good health. But it is desirable to get training from an expert yoga teacher. In the course of writing these books on common diseases I have been inspired by the tenacity, wisdom, and intellectuality of Yogi Ram, a great yoga luminary; his words of blessings that have come to me in the form of foreword are like drops of nectar to me. I have been inspired by the following yoga luminaries for their most valuable opinions and exhortations. My meetings with them have dispelled many doubts and removed many confusions hovering in my mind. 1. H.H. The Dalai Lama (Macdolganj)\u003cbr\u003e 2. H.H.

Many people succumb to the fatal stroke of a heart attack at the prime of their life. Today, cardiac diseases pose a major challenge to life and longevity. Life style has a major role in the cause and cure of many modem diseases including heart attacks. Human heart is much more than a muscular pumping machine pushing blood for the body needs. Heart goes on working non-stop even when other organs may be having a little seista. Both internal environment (milieu interior) and external environment (milieu external) are important for the well being of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e External environment includes the diet we eat, the air we breathe, the people we meet and the unpleasant situations we face daily. Although modem drugs and surgical wonders have given a new lease of life to many yet the laser, stents and bypass surgery are beyond the reach of common man. The state budgets are also silent on such costly treatment. Prevention of heart diseases and hypertension should be through hygienic measures, life style modifications and non-drug means such as (1) Yoga, (2) Balanced diet comprising more vegetable and fruits and less of fats, (3) Avoiding excess of salt and alcohol consumption, (4) Avoiding smoking, (5) Avoiding sedantry life style, (6) Facing stressful situations with a positive attitude and mental relaxation through study of religious texts, music and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e If a person is having high blood pressure, diabetes or high blood liquids like cholesterol, triglycerides etc. one should start appropriate drug therapy, pranayama and yogasanas to keep the blood pressure, blood sugar and blood liquids in normal condition. Yogatherapeu tic measures have, in fact, not only made the lives of victims of heart disease free from pain and other symptoms, but have certainly saved many from pre-mature death. In India, about two decades ago, heart attacks were rare in the youth. It will not be long before heart disease becomes number one killer in India. The two important factors of heart disease are tension and diet. As compared with our fore-fathers, the tensions which the modern man has to face have grown a hundred fold. As a result of mental tension, man is prone to smoke, drugs and drink to get feeling of relaxation. He takes recourse to tranquillisers, pills, alcohol etc. but all these things make his mind sick. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp. b=\"\"\u003eDiabetes\u003cbr\u003e Diabetes is a lingering and baffling disease. Most of the diabetics lead a normal and long span of life because they have learnt the importance of preventive, Curative techniques and have fair knowledge of restricted diet. There are certain diseases namely surgical where Yoga is silent but there are certain diseases where yoga has shown wonderful results. The information disseminated in this book should serve as guideline to the diabetic. Unless a diabetic has strong will positive approach, a desire to learn and follow seriously the suggestions, he cannot derive much benefits. Of course doctor's advice is an essential pre-requisite for the diabetic. \u003c\/p.\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBackaches\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This part deals with backache causes consequence and yogic cure has been written to fill up the gap of communication between the patient and the doctor. The number of patients suffering from backache is rapidly increasing. The book has been written for educated laymen who are ignorant about their own disease and ailments. Technical terms have been avoided and substituted with simple and familiar terms. The book has been written after the personal experience of the author. The yogic treatment for backaches has been highlighted. People generally take asanas and pranayama in a perfunctory manner. They do not know many things about yoga system which is a scientific system. Yoga is both art science. The purpose of this book is to present yoga especially Hatha Yoga in more detailed and accurate way. The treatment chosen is scientific of course there are many problems and deformities and disorders of the spine which require surgical treatment.

How can we save ourselves from e inner environmental dangers of disturbed emotions, nruly passions, negative and aggressive thinking. We should not forget that the world is a projection of our own minds. We have lost control of the mind due to lack of right thinking and right action in relation to ourselves to the environment and to others.

In addition, the book serves as a guide to the basic understanding of the different personality disorders. The word personality has been defined variously by various writers from time to time. Emotions play most important role in the development of personality. Some people are emotionally maladjusted without suspecting it. Their entire personalities are dominated by some distorted perspective and all their reactions in life are modified by this peculiar slanting of the mind. There are some who become moody without due cause and some who look with jaundiced eyes upon the motive of others when the personality disorders grow so severe that the individual can no longer cope with the demands of his environment, his impressions become distorted, and he loses contact with reality. Throughout the centuries, men have stood in fear and awe of those unfortunate individuals who suffered from severe mental illness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e You can successfully reeducate the 21st century mind, and reveal the deeper qualities of peace, love, tolerance and Ahimsa which has been replaced by selfishness, greed and desire. Yoga is a wholistic way of living. It is a particular attitude towards ourselves and the world around us. Perhaps first and foremost, it is a sense of integrity, oneness in all we do. In Sanskrit there is a beautiful word \"APTA\" which refers to a person who says what he thinks and does what he says. Today, as we confront history's most devastating political, social and psychological problems a great hiatus exists between what we say and what we do - our culture is honey combined with false pretences. We are disillusioned, disappointed, and frustrated. Our personalities are disintegrated. Yoga preaches integration through the way of action (Karam Yoga). It teaches reintegration through the way of Astang Yoga (Hatha Yoga). It teaches the control through the Yoga of meditation, Yoga removes mental and physical tension through the methods of Asanas and Pranayama. Through Yoga we realise our duty towards two gifts we have been given, the environmental complex upon which we depend for our survival and the body-Mind complex in which we live. Yoga, is the integrating and transforming process. A balanced 'personality is a Sattvic personality which thinks and acts positively, creatively and compassionately and to attain this with a Sattvic diet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eStomach Diseases \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This part is designed to give the reader some basic information about some diseases associated with digestive system, and their prevention and cure through the system of yoga.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In addition this part serves as a guide to basic understanding of some yogic methods.

of memory) and how loss of memory can be treated, cured and prevented with different Yogas and techniques namely Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation and Yogic diet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Brain and Nervous system control the whole system. The spinal cord leading from the brain sends nerve ends to every part of the body. Three brain structures are critical to the formation of memories, the medial temporal lobe, certain diencephalic nuclie, and the basal forebrain. The medial temporal lobe houses the hippocampus and elongated highly repetitive network. Amygdala is adhacent to the anterior end of the hippocampus. The amygdala has been suggested to rate the emotional importance of an experience and to activate the level of hippocampus activity accordingly. Thus an emotionally intense experience is indelibly etched in memory. Within the diencephalon the dorsal medial nucleus of the thalamus and the manillary bodies appear necessary for memory formation. One of the most important characteristics of brain is that it is a store house of memories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHIV and AIDS \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This part is designed to give the reader some basic information about the meaning, symptoms and transmission of HIV \/ AIDS, a Global problem, and how this grave problem can be checked and controlled with the Yogic practices namely Yogic principles, Asanas, Pranayama, Meditation and the diet therapy. The relationship of Yoga and sex has been dealt with in detail. How sex problems and sex diseases can be checked and cured with the help of Yogic practices. A disproportionate desire for sexual activity may exists which renders an individual either 'Under sexed' or 'Over sexed'. Usually these conditions result from emotional factors. Because of emotional disturbances, 'Under sexed' individual becomes inhibited concerning genital activity. So that the desire for sexual activity is diminished conversely the 'Oversexed', individual suffers from mental upsets that result in heightened sexual activity. In this opposite extreme the 'Over sexed' persons seek to express through genital activity the sexuality they strive to satisfy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e AIDS is the dead liest epidemic in human history. We must rise to the occasion and with firm determination act to combat this dreaded disease. The disease is likely to claim millions of lives across the globe in the next 10 years. Aids prevention is too serious an issue to be left to the indifferent state governments to implement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e AIDS (The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by the HIV \/Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV can be transmitted by contaminated needles or other objects that penetrate the skin. Large numbers are being infected from heterosexual and bisexual partners. Between one and 10 years after infection 80% of people develop aids or a wide spread lymph node problem or brain involvement. Fifty percent will develop the full aids pattern with such severe loss of immunity that they become susceptible to a wide range of infections and some cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The present work is an endeavour to consider the various aspects of the most serious problems HIV \/ AIDS, sex, drugs, and drug abuse, and to suggest preventive measures in the light of Yoga. Whosoever wants to free himself from the din and noise, trials and tribulation, stresses and strains and fear and psychosis, sexual problems must come to the refuge of Yoga- the eternal sedative the only choice before making.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable
