Utilization of Swamiji Vethathiri Maharishi`S Kayakalpa Yoga Practice For Women with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), A Case Study Dr.S.Shanthi, Research Scholar, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Introduction "By sublimating and recycling The sexual vital fluid Kaya kalpa frees you from A variety of earth bound ills Your mind develops strength And Contentment comes to stay Charity,Compassion And chastity-Consciousness patience,Forgiveness. And acuity of intellect, All these become part Of your nature and being Yours thought gets oriented To the absolute directly And fears of death withers In the effulgence of wisdom" - Value of kayakalpa yoga (Yogiraj Vethathiri maharishi). Disease, old age, and death are the three major problems which have been engaging the attention of medical scientists for centuries, and in a different way, that of philosophers as well. swamiji vethathiri maharishi founded the simplified kundalini yoga for the benefit of humanity. This aim was to bring about peace around the world. A good healthy body awakens the good soul within us. This helps to maintain peace in and around each individual which finally helps to 15

achieve, the goal of SKY trust. For this, Swamiji introduced a different yogic technique that Kaya Kalpa (Kaya means body and Kalpa means immortal of physical body) technique and It is a rejuvenating technique which was discovered by our siddhars(School of thoughts in siddha system of medicine), and lost during due course of time. This was once again brought back by Vethathri maharishi swamiji in an easily understandable way. This technique is to rejuvenate the human health that prevents the aging process. Poly cystic ovarian syndrome is a common endocrine disorder most affecting reproductive age group of women. They described a group of women with obesity, excess hair growth, and ovaries with multiple cysts. The principle function of ovary is production of an egg each month for reproduction by ovulation. Female sex hormones include estrogen and progesterone is necessary for reproduction and Poly cystic ovarian disease is related to an imbalance in these female sex hormones. Too much Androgen hormones are produced along with changes in other hormones levels.

Normally one or more eggs are released during each menstrual cycle. This is called ovulation,In Poly cystic ovarian syndrome in these eggs cannot mature and are not released from ovaries and can form small cyst in ovaries. These changes can cause to infertility and other hormones imbalance. Clinical Features of PCOS: The medical symptoms of PCOS include Hormonal imbalance and Insulin resistance may lead to obesity and absence of ovulation. Anovulation is main cause of infertility. Increased androgen hormone and less estrogen level can prone to Hirsutism, (excessive facial hair growth), secondary Amenorrhea or scanty menstrual cycle .Exactly cause of PCOS is still not known. But an imbalance of the endocrine systom is responsible for many of the changes associated with PCOS. Acanthosis nigricans -hyper pigmented skin thickening around the neck and skin folding region also present. A single case study The patient was a 30-year-old female who was diagnosed with PCOS and associated with obesity with diabetic, irregular menstrual cycle, Hyper pigmented on skin folding region. She had yet to begin any expressed an interest in Vethathri Maharishi’s Yoga after hearing about the ashram in Aliyar(Coimbatore district), Tamilnadu. 16

She elected to pursue Vethathri Maharishi’s Yoga program independently and this report chronicles her experience in the clinical care setting. The kayakalpa yoga that was recommended to this patient was a practice that we had used previously reported studies. Kayakalpa yoga was advised to the patient was a daily yogic practice. The patient was provided with instruction regarding practice and was encouraged to start with two time practice for the duration of the study period. This intellectual practice approach had been used successfully in our previous studies, and was helpful in minimizing the Blood glucose level associated with other PCOD symptoms. The patient also received log sheets and was asked to record the practice schedule each day also record the menstrual duration. The patient also was contacted monthly twice throughout the 6month period to assess if there were questions or problems, and to review adherence.

Measures At baseline, the patient’s weight was measured, and at both baseline and follow-up her weight was assessed on a routinely calibrated platform scale. Blood was drawn via venipuncture and collected in serum separator vacutainers, and sera were analyzed directly for glucose level. And menstrual duration was observed from the direct conversation through the log sheet. And ultrasonagraphy for pelvis also done at both baseline and lost month. Results The patient adhered to the daily practice of maharishi’s kayakalpa yoga practice during the observational period. Markedly reduce the Pre-post levels of weight measures are observed. A significant decrease in serum glucose levels was observed. After the practice duration the patient was cured the PCOS. CONCLUSION: According to the “Journey of Consciousness” written by thathuvagnani Vethathiri Maharishi the kayakalpa (rejuvenation) yoga helps prone to regulate metabolic functions by controlling endocrine secretions. Findings suggest that the yoga practice may have a profound impact on Glucose levels, menstrual cycle and also may diminish symptoms. Findings from this case report indicate that PCOS patient got good 17

result by practicing the kayakalpa yoga and this yoga practice should reduce body weight and also controls the blood glucose level, which in turn regulates the ovarian pathway. Currently the standard of care treatment for women with PCOS ranges from lifestyle modification to pharmacological interventions. Lifestyle modifications are associated with diet, weight loss, and exercise programs. Pharmacological interventions include; antiandrogens (Spironolactone, Flutamide), insulin lower agents (Metformin and thiazolidinediones), and estrogenprogestin combination (Oral contraceptives). (Dronavalli et al, 2007) While effective, such treatment is associated with substantial cost and may cause various side effects, such as irregular menstruation, gastrointestinal symptoms, weight gain, and increased insulin resistance. In contrast, the costs and side effects associated with this kayakalpa yoga practice are minimal. Despite some limitations, the data are still compelling. Such data point to the need for further research in this area, to more thoroughly explore the effects of kayakalpa yoga on hormonal markers and clinical symptoms associated with PCOS.
