Ayngaran Foundation is a spiritual non profit organisation founded by sasi Krishnasamy and chairman of Vince Thomas,Ayngaran Foundation have established a meditation centre named Veda Bodhivanam. Additionally, the foundation encourages volunteers and donations who may add contribute to the development of society. The Vedas are Hinduism's origins. It is thought that by adhering to the Vedic injunctions, we might acquire the blessing of God for our own well-being and that of the world as a whole. Therefore, the mantras of the Vedas should serve as a Hindu's daily guidance. The purpose of this project is to establish meditation centre , We wish to speak out to all peoples and people, who are ready to support this project, who accept hindu teaching of mind development through meditation. All these people are welcome to take part in this project

I remember taking a walk one day and seeing two young people, probably teenagers, sitting on a bench in the beautiful forest, gracefully touched by the sun. They were staring down at their smartphones. Internally, I judged them pretty hard. “Why would anyone spend time in nature just to stare at a screen?” I thought. This memory came to mind as I caught myself sitting outside during my 15 minute work break, eyes glued to my own cellular device. I stopped myself. For once, I decided to look around, to take in the present moment. Sure, I wasn't surrounded by beautiful nature, but it was still a chance to breathe in some fresh air - and more serene than inside my workplace. I realized I never paid attention to the sizes of the trees to the not-so-distant right -or the fact that one tree is shaped like a heart- even though work is somewhere I go every weekday, and my car is always parked by the same tree. Normally my 15 minute breaks seem to go by in an instant, barely giving me enough time to reply to a few texts. What gives? However, the end of this particular break felt as if I had just finished meditating. It turns out meditating doesn't always mean sitting in a special posture on a meditation cushion, breathing rhythmically or going “ohm”. And I needed this. Lately, I sense that time is slipping away from me, that somehow I slipped up and hit the fast forward button, failing to find the right button. Sometimes I wish I could press pause – sometimes I miss quarantine. When my complaints ebb and flow, I remind myself that I'm happy to have a job. Yet, sometimes the complaints come knocking at my door like an uninvited salesman. They say that there's no time to write. I make up for it by writing in my head at work. You know how they say the best ideas come when you least expect them? Well, in my experience, I would tweak this quote by saying, “the best ideas come when it's least convenient”. The other day at work, doing monotonous tasks, a beautifully scripted poem splashed in my mind like red wine on carpet. Since I was wearing lab gloves and had just touched tubes of bodily fluids, it wasn't the time to write. And when it is the time to write… Coffee ready, candle lit, I write and write until mere moments later I have a fresh poem??? I wish. Instead, I have nothing. NOTHING. My ideas have vanished. Maybe I'm too distracted by my phone. Maybe I just put too much pressure on myself. Probably both. With a job, my available time has become sacred, so whenever I sit down to write I have an expectation to create something worthwhile. Although, I know very well that the best ideas aren't forced, but the opposite. What even is my problem anyway? I can barely put it into words, other than stating that the working world has left me feeling cluttered. Why did nobody tell me that life after college is so hard? I wonder. Maybe this is what people mean when they refer to pursuing a career as the “real world”. Sadly, the real world has made me antisocial. I wasn't always like this. I went through a phase the beginning of 2019 where I hung out with people about every other night, and during this time I was thriving. I felt like I was on top of the world. Of course, I had the time for this because I decided to take a gap year after college to be an Au Pair as a nice adventure, or so I thought. My host mom ended up getting frustrated with me because I was going out so many nights. “We've never had an Au Pair that went out so much!” she told me. I took this to mean that she discouraged social Au Pairs because this meant less attention for her kids, or maybe she just wasn't used to having Au Pairs that made friends so quickly and didn't know what to think of it. The whole Au Pair adventure didn't last long and my little social circle I had built went crumbling along with it. I guess you can't have too much of a good thing, or really there's just not enough time for it. There wasn't enough time to upkeep my socially ideal self because consequently this meant I wasn't committing enough of my energy to my responsibilities. Not enough time. What a slap in the face that realization was back then, especially since I hoped working as a babysitter/ housekeeper in another country would've been easy, flexible, and fun. Nope. Also, there were some communication issues too, but that's another story. Now, I should go because I have stuff to do, like laundry. The reason for writing today was just to prove that there IS time to write. I need to stop making excuses, because writers don't make excuses. They write!

This is true on so many levels. What we consume through our exterior physical body can deeply impact our spiritual health as well. This includes eyesight, hearing, smells, food, thought patterns even what we speak. Each of these can deeply influence our very existence so very much.

In recent years, a large population of busy, working Americans have joined the wellness movement. One notable practice – meditation – has pushed to the forefront of this blossoming movement. Meditation is an ancient practice, having been practiced by Buddhist and Hindu monks since around 1500 B.C.[1], but it has only recently become accessible to a modern, secular audience as a break from the stresses and worries of day-to-day life. While meditation offers emotional perks - long-time and novice meditators alike have reported feeling relaxed, calmer, and clearer-headed after their practice - its benefits extend further into the human body, particularly the brain. SHORT-TERM BENEFITS One does not need to adapt a lifestyle change to develop resilience to stress; even short bouts of meditation prove highly beneficial to a frazzled mind. A study led by David Creswell from Carnegie Mellon University[2] examined the effects of meditation training on patients' responses to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), designed as a series of controlled stressful situations. Participants in the experimental group received three days of twenty-five-minute meditation trainings, during which they were instructed to pay attention to their breath, bodily sensations, and thoughts and emotions. For the same duration, participants in the control group were instructed to read and analyze a set of poems. Upon taking the TSST, the experimental group self-reported perceived lower levels of stress than did the control group. Brief meditation has also been shown to alter brain anatomy, particularly in regions associated with self-referential thinking. In a study led by Britta Hölzel from the Massachusetts General Hospital[3], participants underwent the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, which includes weekly group meetings and at-home exercises. Two weeks after the MBSR program concluded, MRI scans of the participants were recorded and compared to scans taken prior to the experiment. Results revealed increased gray matter concentration in four regions of the brain commonly associated with self-referential processing. Other studies[4] have identified additional brain regions positively affected by meditation. An increase in gray matter (neuronal cell bodies and connections) in these areas suggests that meditation can fortify the higher processes associated with psychological well-being and resilience against stress. Most working Americans can only practice meditation as a “moonlight” activity – a routine calming of an overworked mind – by starting or ending their day with ten minutes of mindfulness. Thankfully, even small bouts of meditation can generate psychological and neuroanatomical changes associated with overall emotional amelioration. LONG-TERM BENEFITS Those who fuse mindfulness with their everyday lives often tout the enduring benefits of prolonged, rigorous meditative practice. The portrayal of the calm, wise monk in literature and pop culture is an ever-present reminder of this common sequitur. Look no further than His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who maintains his presence on the world stage with press conferences and self-penned articles urging people to practice kindness. To examine the effects of long-term meditative practice, Antonietta Manna of the G. D'Annuzio University Foundation[5] led a study comparing the functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) data of Buddhist monks and novice meditators while meditating. Novices with only ten days of practice showed fMRI activation in the posterior and anterior cingulate cortex, which was consistent with the Hölzel study conclusions. Monks also showed activation of the anterior cingulate cortex; but in addition to this area, the anterior prefrontal cortex and superior temporal gyrus were also activated above baseline. These two regions are associated with personality expression and social cognition, respectively. The increased stimulation of social cognitive regions in the brains of the monks, for whom mindfulness is a lifestyle, suggests that meditation could, in addition to bringing about peace of mind, encourage prosocial behavior. This conclusion has been verified independently by multiple other studies as well. [6,7,8] Although meditation in any dosage seems to proffer mental and emotional benefits, it remains to be seen whether the mindfulness movement alone can cultivate a prosocial environment for the working American. “Moonlight” meditators, while able to temporarily retreat into peaceful meditation, may require deeper or lengthier sessions than what currently fits in a busy schedule. Perhaps regular meditation on its own does not give rise to significant neurological or psychological benefits; but, for now, the post-Om buzz is enough to keep the movement going.
