Abstracts
of the Research Papers
- Productivity
Management through Meditation:
Psychological Analysis
A technical institution with students
of high morale, discipline and caliber are likely to show excellent output. The
students entering into the portals of the institution should leave with all
rounded personality and as a complete professional.
This paper deals with the effects of
the applied meditation which improves the Efficiency, Memory Power and Studies
Output Performance of the students. Increased efficiency channelises the
thought processes of the students in the right direction and creates a lucid
environment for constructive development in the society thus enhancing the
productivity at large, which is a very important aspect for excellent
management of any organisation.
- Management of
Students Performance in Engineering Education : An Analysis
Engineering
Education is a field of vast diversity and this being ever-demanding field of
science and technology, the mediocre students find it hard to cope up with the
increasing demands of engineering curriculum. Its important to improve the
performance of an engineering graduate to help him develop in an all-round
personality and a thorough professional in his respective field. This paper deals with the effect of
meditation on the Analytical power,
Memory power, Concentration and Examination Performance of an engineering
student. The proposed work provides a useful insight into the technique of
meditation to be implied for improving the performance of an engineering
graduate. As per the results obtained, after carrying out exhaustive study, we
are encouraged to share this technique to be used by students in order to
achieve excellence in the academic field of engineering.
2. Role
of Acoustic Meditation in Stress Management : An Analysis
Stress is a
response to a real or imagined event which alters the normal functioning
of the body . It is body’s natural
reaction to both the physical and psychological changes. It produces a number
of undesirable effects both at physical and mental level. This paper introduces
the concept of Acoustic Meditation and its applications towards stress
management. A dramatic reduction in Mental Stress has been observed for a
population of more than 95% of the meditator group under observation. A similar
improvement has been observed in the characteristics of Physical Relaxation and
Patience
- Some aspects of Personality
Management through Acoustics Meditation (Nada Yoga): An Analysis
Meditation is an emerging tool of
Human Resources Management in modern organizations. It is very much helpful to
solve a number of problems of the employees as well as organizations by
enhancing the overall efficiency of the both. Meditation is helpful in
eradicating the interpersonal/organizational conflicts at the workplace. In
this paper we have analyzed the role of Acoustics Meditation in the Personality Management considering the
parameters of Arrogance, Confidence,
Optimism and Patience of the subjects who volunteered to
undertake the testing. It was observed that 95% of the subjects
(engineering students) gained in terms of Arrogance relief, 90% in terms of Confidence, 70% in terms of Optimism and 85% in terms of Patience.
- Violence
Management through Meditation: An Analysis
Violence is the result of endless
undefined frustrations especially in the youth. No wonder, most of the
attackers on 26/11/2009 Mumbai misadventure were of this age group. In our
education system, an effective strategy for coping with violence through meditation, must be adopted at the
School/ College level. Our health, to a great extent, depends upon our emotions
and thoughts. Meditation is a technique to achieve deep concentration, calmness
and tranquility of mind. It also helps in attaining complete control over one’s
mind. In this paper we have analyzed the role of Meditation in the Violence Management considering the parameters of Arrogance,
Relaxation, Stress and Tolerance of the
subjects (Engineering Students) who volunteered to undertake the test. It was
observed that 75% of the subjects gained in terms of Arrogance relief,
80 % in terms of Relaxation, 90%
in terms of Stress relief and
85% in terms of Tolerance.
5. Development
of Stress Management Laboratory in India
Stress has become an inevitable part of our lives. It not
only affects our mental health but prolonged stressful conditions also lead to
physical ailments. Unfortunately the Indian population is not much aware of the
serious consequences of stress as well as of proper stress management
techniques. One of the worst hit victims of stress are students who are
constantly under huge academic pressure, peer pressure as well as parental
pressure. To cope up with this stress it is proposed that stress management
laboratories must be developed in schools and colleges (graduate and
postgraduate level) in India. These must be modelled on the lines of already
existing stress management centres and laboratories in educational institutions
in the developed countries. This paper presents different stress measurement
techniques using modern electronic instruments as well as some scientifically
proven stress relaxation therapies to be used in these laboratories.
6. Enhanced
Wellbeing amongst Engineering Students through Nadi Shodhan Pranayama
(Alternate Nostril Breathing) Training : An Analysis
The state of wellbeing is determined
by individual’s Physical, Mental and Emotional health. This paper introduces
the concept of pranayama (an ancient yogic technique that involves controlled
deep rhythmic breathing). The underlying principle of pranayama is that the
relation between emotion and breathing is two way i.e. not only emotions have
affect on breathing but controlled rhythmic breathing has positive effects on
emotions too. We selected a group of engineering students who volunteered to
practise alternate nostril breathing i.e. Nadi Shodhan Pranayama (NSP) for
three months. We applied the introspection (subjective observation) method of
Psychology and analyzed the various traits related to wellbeing of the group on
Likert’s five point psychometric scale before and after applying this
technique. We applied t-test for statistical investigation. We observed that
75% of the subjects gained in terms of Feeling Healthy, 80% in terms of memory
recall, 75% in terms of mental stress relief and 90% in terms of physical
relaxation. This amazingly simple and yet highly effective ancient technique of
NSP may become part of their physical training routine to be followed
regularly. The paper aims at spreading the awareness of this yogic technique on
the wellbeing of all human beings in general and engineering students in
particular.
Yoga
Meditation : An Intervention strategy of coping with Violence
Violence is the result of endless
undefined frustrations especially in the youth. In our education system, the
effective strategy for coping with violence i.e. Meditation, must be adopted at
the School/ College level. Our health, to a great extent, depends upon our emotions
and thoughts. Meditation is the study of deep concentration, calmness and
tranquility of the mind. It is the study of attaining complete control over
one’s mind. This paper deals with the effects of the applied meditation, which
improves the characteristics like tolerance and relaxation. It also reduces
arrogance and stress, which are highly contributing factors to make anyone
violent.
STRESS A BANE - YOGA THE CURE
India has long been heralded as a
pioneer in alternative therapies for health and wellness. Yoga and Ayurveda are
the most renowned therapies of India
that have gained international popularity and repute. What better place to
learn and practice these wellness therapies than the land of its origin - India. But
Now-a-days health disorders like heart diseases, respiratory problems, obesity
and mental problems are on the rise throughout the world. One very
important cause of all these problems is Stress. Stress is a response to a
real or imagined event which alters the normal functioning of the body . It is
body’s natural reaction to both the physical and psychological changes. It
produces a number of undesirable effects both at physical and mental level.
This paper introduces the concept of Acoustic Meditation and its applications
towards stress management. A dramatic reduction in Mental Stress has been
observed for a population of more than 95% of the meditator group under
observation. A similar improvement has been observed in the characteristics of
Physical Relaxation and Patience.
Meditative
Techniques for Human Resource Development : A Theoretical Perspective
Present day lifestyle often leads to
stress and restlessness amongst human beings, which affects productivity
adversely. Meditation is a scientific technique, which if practiced regularly
in a systematic way, can bring wonderful change in the attitude and other
personality traits of the practitioners. This paper reviews the work done by
various researchers regarding the role of meditative techniques in Human
Resource Development. It has been established that meditation is an effective
tool to augment traits like Analytical Power, Concentration, Confidence,
Efficiency, Memory Power, Optimism, Patience, Physical Relaxation and Academic
Performance. In addition, meditation leads to diminution in the levels of
Arrogance and Mental Stress. Arrogance and Mental Stress can lead to violent
and disruptive behavior. This paper also tries to deal with some scientifically
proven meditative therapies to be used for effective Human Resource Development.
The future scope of measuring various parameters, which can trigger the
personality traits affirmatively, using modern electronic instruments has been
projected. Thus, this paper tries to cover various aspects of Human Resource
Development, especially by using Meditative Techniques.
