Over the past decade, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has been working closely with a team of scientists and
researchers to throw more light on the mystical sciences rooted in the Vedic tradition, and reach the
benefits of these sciences to people across the world.

Chakras and Kundalini energy representation

The focus of recent studies has been the activation or 'awakening' of the
Kundalini Shakti, the inner potential energy that lies latent in every
individual. While Kundalini is well-known in Eastern yogic science, it is
only just beginning to gain recognition as a scientific reality in Western
medical circles.

Kundalini energy can be activated by various means like yoga, breathing
techniques (pranayama), certain herbal preparations, creating particular
vibrations in the body through the chanting of mantras, and through
initiation (energy transmission) by a yoga adept whose Kundalini is
already awakened. Of these, initiation is the fastest, easiest and safest
way of awakening Kundalini .

Once awakened, Kundalini brings about extraordinary transformation in
the body-mind system of the individual, including a huge surge in energy levels, the healing of chronic
diseases and enhanced mental abilities. Beyond this, a host of other changes have been observed but had
yet to be systematically studied or quantified.

STUDIES ON INNER AWAKENING PARTICIPANTS - 2011

In a breakthrough series of studies conducted in 2011, Kundalini awakening and its benefits were
systematically recorded under controlled conditions in close to 600 individuals attending an intensive yoga
and meditation retreat at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam's international headquarters near Bangalore, India.
Apart from daily yoga, pranayama and other supportive practices, participants of the 21-day INNER
AWAKENING program were exposed to a total of 21 personal initiation sessions from Paramahamsa
Nithyananda.
The study was based on a similar study conducted by Jeffery A. Dusck at Harvard Medical School and
published in Public Library of Science in July 2008. Recordings were taken on Day 0 and Day 18 of the
program.
The parameters studied included:

  1. Cellular energy levels
  1. Physical health & immunity levels
  1. Psychological and emotional health
  1. Neurological changes in the brain
  1. Genetic transformation, if any
  1. Expression of any extraordinary abilities
