a metaphor, breath, like awareness, or a candle flame, seems so fragile, vulnerable to influences, our awareness is subject to change, being agitated, reacting to or against others, like a candle being exposed to a breeze, or being blown out, but fire doesn't die when a candle is extinguished, fire lives & can light or re-light as many candles as there are birthday cakes, & so our breath & balance of awareness can also be re-aligned & restored to balance with a little regular attention.
It is no coincidence that the 8 pillars of yoga (ashtang yoga) as described by Patanjali go in this sequence. Yama --Moral Values Niyama --Discipline Asana --Yogic exercise(what is not mostly considered yoga) Pranayama --Breath Control Pratyahara --Control of the mind and the senses Dharana -- Concentration Dhyana --Deep Meditation Samadhi --Union with the object of meditation
Wow, I did not know, It was laid out in that way. I only knew Yoga is stretching Pranayam is breathing Dhyana is mediation Also There are chakras, Nadi, mudras.
True. Breath control gives Mind control. Mind when controlled the senses are controlled. When senses are controlled one can dive deep into meditation to reach the static state. In this state the Cosmic energy flows in the human body and the healing takes place. This leads to opening up of our chakras in our subtle body and the third eye opens which gives more perception and understanding. One can enter the Samadhi state. The raise of Kundalini energy occurs with purity. This leads to Self Realization. When Self is realized God is Realized. God is the Truth. Good Video.
+Narendra Sajja Very true! And most interestingly, the Eye bears a huge significance throughout history -- and through my personal knowledge of the bible, this shines true for myself. 'So Jacob called the place Peniel (*face of God*), saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared." ' Jesus was a metaphor for the Pineal Gland, for the penitent thief and the impenitent thief that hung alongside him on their crosses symbolized the *good eye, and the bad eye*. He was between them, hence him being the Pineal. The pineal gland -- your third eye -- is your window to God, and the truth. So true, and so very awesome.
Greetings from Sri Lanka!!! For known history Indians had been truth seekers. That is how we Sri Lankans are proud say we are Buddhists! Thank you for your awesome research! Please teach us your Yoga methods.
sri lanka is not a separate country. we india and srilanka have been divided by briteesh as part of their Divide-&rule policy. srilanka-india-nepal-bhutan and many other small countries surrounding india are nothing but part of "akhand bharath".When sri lanka plays cricket with any other country, we "most"indians support n cheer sri laNka .
Brave Heart u hav less knowledge about ancient history.there were hundreds' free country in india.definetly banglades pakistan were india but also myanmar was part of india.But nepal was only one country without colonial country and was free country.if u believe in Hindu vedic Book it also says the nepal is different country.
Upali Kaluarachchi i have nothing against srilanka nor I like srilanka and i want to request you to please send some more hot women into bollywood just like jaquiline fernandez . We beg you .. please jaq is a fresh breath of air for Indians fed up with Bollywood actress for decades.

Wow...My Tamil Brother...I'm so proud of you, sharing your intelligence ( what a brilliant mind) and your advise to the world. I always wondered what it would be like if the whole world practiced YOGA for 1 week. Mankind as we know it would be changed for ever and for the better! in a matter of just a few years...because people will be addicted to life, not just their own, but all life forms( so amazingly beautiful) if only! The challenge is .. how to get people to understand themselves and their 'drunken scorpion bitten monkey minds'. Humanity unfortunately, is stuck on trivial things.. vanity, greed, fame, material items, EGO feeders. Kill your ego...see yourself as the tiny spec of dust within this universe.... eventually we all turn to dust...we are formless and colourless without our bodies....we are invisible. Yoga is a science teaching us how to care for this human body or housing for our soul. Its not in any way trying to change or convert the world. It should not be looked as, belonging or originating from a specific race, religion or geographic region, it should spread throughout the world...much like how diseases or hatred spreads, but will work in opposite creating harmony, wellness and love. We would prosper as an evolved human species with mindfulness & consciousness. I wish this upon all human beings...because we are the chosen ones...but majority of us don't see this fact. Blessings & Love to All.
Why are you (actually all Tamilians) so fanatical and parochial about Tamil Tamil Tamil. That's quite Laughable. You could have been from somewhere in Himalayas in your past birth (or be that in next one, or Tibet or even Somalia !). If yoga has touched you, please realise that Yoga also teaches that whole world is the same family and being parochial is severe "ignorance" or "Avidya" as the yogis say. Even sage Agastya was from Himalayas. No ?
I'm 5th generation African, my forefathers were the ones sold on the dreams of better life, only to become slaves cutting sugar cane in a foreign land. Im still proud of my Tamil heritage and I have every right to be happy to see a person of same heritage share a message of love, a path of Hope and a better life to others. If all you saw in this message is the word 'Tamil'.....then you seriously need to address your insecurities within yourself. He, nor I are claiming that Tamils invented yoga. We respect anyone of any culture or race that can bring some good to humanity. Share Love and respect to all without being afraid that you are going to be lesser than anyone ... ignorance always leads to hate. God Bless you
What a great talk! I love the speaker's energy and sense of humour and lightness. The power of the breath is so strong and really so simple.. yet most people (particularly in the West) are completely unfamiliar with pranayama and all of its amazing benefits!
Sundar how wonderful!!! We took the yoga for cancer and cardiac health together at yogaville many years ago and i remember you vividly. What amazing healing properties you have found for pranayama. Way to go!! All the best to you. Holley
Excellent Dr.Sundar Balasubramanian. Delighted to see a Tamilian from a small hamlet of Thanjavur district is explaining Tirumular's breathing technique clearly and convincingly. Hats off to you for your efforts, wisdom and excellent presentation.

Really love this, and now I’m going to read his books and watch more of his videos. I also have a background in research and science, and I am a long-time practitioner of yoga, and I’ve always wondered: what is the “voodoo” to this “magic”? The results are incontrovertible yet difficult to quantify. I love that he’s looking at it from an analytical, scientific perspective.

Thank you Dr. Bala for an excellent insight into the yogic breathing. we have heard all along the phrase "calm down and take a deep breath" when in stress or pain or indecisive or confused or what ever... It used to help. This practice was probably an abridged version of breathing technique that we followed blindly. The breathing yoga that the speaker talked about was well explained scientifically and gives an understanding of the reason / mechanism why it works. I am going to make it a point to practice it. There is a wealth of information available from the eastern civilization and hopefully the entire world can benefit and live healthy.
How realistic life exuberant when we attached pranayama that is yogic breathing exercises, Simple truth lead us to profouhind transformation in our totality of existence, Many Many thanks,
When you control your breathing, you control your life. It's no secret that anxiety and anger, which can have devastating and often tragic consequences, can be greatly reduced by breathing techniques.
Tibetan Tsa Lung meditation, Korean Bulmudo, Indian Yogic techniques (perhaps the source of this wisdom)....More recent manifestations such as Wim Hof Impact therapy all indicate the efficacy of these breathing techniques, which have spread and achieved growth in adherents WITHOUT the need for double blind testing. I'm all for scientific testing to verify medical claims but the measuring of physical factors will never measure, or for that matter prove the spiritual aspects of such techniques. I would say a level of faith and an honest exploration is what is necessary on an individual level.
🙏🙏🙏India was the Vishwa Guru!!! By Bhagwat Kripa, this Generation will again undoubtedly and solidly make India the Vishwa Guru once again. Nice Work Sundarji!!!🙏🙏
EVERYBODY LISTEN, THIS THIRUMOOLAR WAS NO ORDINARY MAN.HE WAS A MYSTIC OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD. He is a gem in spirituality. The only one who was Both a Siddha and a nayanmaar, his Thirumandiram is a scientific treatise on yoga.. Vitally relevant to modern times, he has explained this esoteric timeless science in a most scientific way, in a way even the most intelligent scientist would envy..
Great ! We are proud of you. Yes, by reading my pulse one Siddha Varmam doctor predicted how many years and months back I got a hit on my back and pointed out the exact spot. I remembered how in my Tamil Nadu (Thamilh Naadu) village house I used the rope hanging from the ceiling ignoring the rail-less ladder to reach upstairs in a single swing. Just when I was about to land, the rope broke sending me down to the floor in a flash after a hit from the door latch. I was almost breathless. Luckily my uncle who too knew varmam revived me at that time ! But several years later this expert cured me completely. That expert's son who is also knowledgeable, is in USA but does not wish to be identified.
Dear Sundar. Thank you for all your hard work and this excellent speech. I ordered two of your books from Amazon just now. I am a regular practitioner of Shambhavi, which I learned from Sadhguru. Blessings. 🙏🏽
Wow.. I am a tamilan. I do have tried regulating breathing (in my own way) and found increasing saliva secretion. But I didn't imagine it might have been elaborated in tamil literature. Thank you.
Wow - this gentleman has a true and clear understsnding of how to connect to our innerself through meditation. I salute u. His back ground through education made the science real tieing it in with breathing stimulation. Its amazing to have such clarity of inner healing and control. great vid my friend.
Excellent, I was amazed with the benefits of yogic breathing. Hope this message will be circulated to all the human being and all of them will get benefits practicing it.
First of all I like the way you dressed it shows our culture, proud of you brother... Yes like you said..this is a small portion of our vedic wisdom...but unfortunately we are forced to study physical phenomena around us we just forget to maintain our inner well-being...This is why Bharat is so special around the world...!!! Thanks for your valuable information👌👌👌
वस्त्रेण वपुषा वाचा विद्यया विनयेन च । वकारैः पञ्चभिर्हीनः नरो नायाति गौरवम् ॥ Transliteration: vastreṇa vapuṣā vācā vidyayā vinayena ca । vakāraiḥ pañcabhirhīnaḥ naro nāyāti gauravam ॥ Meaning of the subhAShita: A person without all these 5 'va' kaaraa-s (words starting with 'va') does not attain respect: clothes, appearance, speech, knowledge and humility. Commentary: For a person to attain respect, there are a few basic requirements. All the five requirements quoted here start with the Sanskrit alphabet 'va'. 1. vastra (clothes). For humans, being robed in society is necessary. It doesn't have to be extravagant and expensive, just decent and appropriate. 2. vapuṣā (appearance). This is not just referring to physical beauty, but more the presentability of a person, in reference to inner beauty and cleanliness. 3. vācā (speech). One's speech should be pleasant, appealing and harmless. 4. vidyaa (knowledge, education). This is very important for a person to have in order to possess the above three 'va'kāra-s. Education gives one awareness of the world (and himself). It is also the one surefire way to attain liberation (mukti). 5. vinaya (humility). This is the most important adornment to any human being. Whether he is rich or poor, young or old - humility is the one adornment he can carry with him at all times. A person who has all the above 5 qualities automatically attains respect wherever he goes. pada vigrahaH: वस्त्रेण वपुषा वाचा विद्यया विनयेन च । vastreṇa vapuṣā vācā vidyayā vinayena ca । वकारैः पञ्चभिः हीनः नरः न आयाति गौरवम् ॥ vakāraiḥ pañcabhiḥ hīnaḥ naraḥ na āyāti gauravam ॥ Alternate Transliteration: vastreNa vapuShaa vaachaa vidyayaa vinayena cha । vakaaraiH pa~nchabhirhInaH naro naayaati gauravam ॥ vastreNa vapuShaa vaachaa vidyayaa vinayena cha । vakaaraiH pa~nchabhiH hInaH naraH na aayaati gauravam ॥
It is proud for all of us seeing you in TEDx and saying Vanakkam (Tamil), wearing traditional dhoti and talking about Thirumoolar and Thirumanthiram. All the best for all your research work. Thank you very much
I remember once, I did not know what was happening then - one of my oldest sister was giving birth. Mother kept on telling her to breath, mother was so upset that she used bad language, but she kept on telling my sister to breath. All of the sudden I hear a baby cry, and I understood then what all was about it! Breathing is the key!
Controling the breath or its awareness is the key. Moreover they insist that the breathing rate should be drastically reduced in order to live longer or be stopped to become immortal. It makes sense.
Big effects on the central nervous system and respiratory system when you do Pranayam. So that's why it's important to learn and do it carefully, it can bring results that are nothing short of miracles, but also can bring about serious damage if not done with proper technique. So you gotta be mindful of that. Especially Kumbhak 'Breath retention' Breath manipulation is an art and works wonders for your health and organs.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you, Long story short. I've sjorgrens And I've had phlem. Quite unusual since I don't have a cold. And I barely have phlem during colds either. . Ancient culture Thank you for keeping it alive
I watched it now and content was very useful to all. request you to have such workshop here in India or Tamil Nadu, or at our college , whenever you visit hometown. This will spread the awareness about their breathing and wellness. you did a wonderful job and you are rocking too
சுந்தர் பாலசுந்தர் அய்யா அவர்களுக்கு தமிழ் , சித்த வைத்தியம் , திருமூலரின் திருமந்திரத்தை பெருமையை எடுத்து விலக்கியத்தியதற்கு எனது மனமார்ந்த நன்றி. உங்கள் உரையில் தமிழ் மொழி is stone age language என்று சொல்லி இருக்கலாம். I also appreciate your research in yogic breathing in bio-medical field. English translation- To Mr. sudar balasundar I appreciate to highlight the language of Tamil from southern part of India, Sidha medicine and thiru Mandiram (hyms) of Thirumular . But you could have added the language tamil existed from stone age which tamil inscription is still found in stones in various part of Tamilnadu. Also, Sholin temple fame Bodhi Dharman (Dhamu) for martial arts & Hypnotism is from Kancheepuram district Tamilnadu.
yeah obviously deep breathing or yogic breathing have lots of benefits. i like that he told about how to control senses to control our mind which is completely explained in Bhagvad Gita.
Amazing natural living techniques and methods are hidden inside ancient Tamil literature. Thank you for bringing that to light and to the world. I believe there would be so much in other ancient cultures and civilizations as well. They all should be brought to the world in a more common language like English.
Pranayama builds your mind for meditation. And you will experience it as you start doing it. The mind will be calm and cool, yet nourished for meditation with the right amount of energy. In a way, it ups the lethargic mind, while it downs an anxious or energetic mind
Now I know why I've seen videos/pics of Monks, breathing & or doing Yoga for centuries. I never really understood except maybe them enjoying the quietness. It was/is more or less them healing themselves or making their bodies stronger.💡 moment 👀
it's pretty cool that this work and that of Wim Hof & those that have studied him both show the massive benefits from simply mindfully breathing in & out, basically...
I agree that yoga will relieve stress , rest of all things told are illogic. Hearing music , watching movies, going for shopping playing with children also good for relieving stress(Depending upon individuals).
Practice of pranayam will help to control our mind. So practice of all breathing exercises in slow motion is key to control our mind,senses and attachments.
திரு.சுந்தர் பாலசுப்ரமணியம் அவர்களே, உங்களுக்கு உங்களின் குடும்பத்துக்கும் எல்லாம் வல்ல இறைவன் ஆசீவாதமும் அனுகிரக்கமமும் உண்டாகட்டும், தமிழை, தமிழன் கலையை, தமிழ் நாட்டை, திருமூலரின் திருமந்திரத்தை உலகத்திற்கு பறை சாற்றிய பச்சைத் தமிழன்! வாழ்க வாழ்க பல்லாண்டு வாழ்க. திருமூலரின் அந்த நுண்ணறிவை நான் உணருகிறேன் ஆனால் உங்கலை போன்று அறிவியல் பூர்வமான அறிதளாக மற்றவர்களுக்கு எடுத்து சொல்ல முடியவில்லை. அந்த திருமூலர் நினைத்ததும் இதுதான் - இந்த மனித ஜீவாத்மாக்கள் அறிந்து ஆரோகியத்தையும் கடைபிடித்து கிடைத்தற்கரிய இந்த மனித பிறப்பை நீட்டித்து இறைவனையும் இறையருளையும் பெற்று முக்தி பெறவேண்டும் என்பதே. உங்களுடைய இந்த சேவை மேலும் சிறப்புடன் நடேந்தேற இறை துணை நிற்கட்டும்.
Muscles and six pack abs are not important if your behave, attitude, thinking is not good. Apart from that your body should response to your activity. I am practicing pranayama (Pathajali) and what i believe that this technique, is proven and have influenced my body in a positive way. It doesn't matter to whom you follow or do all it needs to do this Pranayama( Source of life).
Directly adjacent to your mouth is the visudah‘s chakra and buy polarity you taking energy. Like photosynthesis you assimilate energy into your body. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word(which was translated from Greek logos which means not written word but vibration like String theory)
Become his fan when he said " mind can't travel on own , it uses a vehicle and that vehicle is breath " 🙏 deep 🔥
Yes. At 9:20
Those words are from Thirumoolar, Tamil scholar, one of the 18 siddhars
a metaphor, breath, like awareness,
or a candle flame,
seems so fragile, vulnerable to influences, our awareness is subject to change, being agitated, reacting to or against others,
like a candle being exposed to a breeze, or being blown out,
but fire doesn't die when a candle is extinguished, fire lives & can light or re-light as many candles as there are birthday cakes,
& so our breath & balance of awareness can also be re-aligned & restored to balance
with a little regular attention.
வெளிநாட்டில் பேசினாலும் தன் பரம்பரிய உடையை அணிந்து பேசுனீர்களே மிக சிறப்பு ஐயா

This practice was probably an abridged version of breathing technique that we followed blindly. The breathing yoga that the speaker talked about was well explained scientifically and gives an understanding of the reason / mechanism why it works. I am going to make it a point to practice it. There is a wealth of information available from the eastern civilization and hopefully the entire world can benefit and live healthy.
How realistic life exuberant when we attached pranayama that is yogic breathing exercises, Simple truth lead us to profouhind transformation in our totality of existence, Many Many thanks,
When you control your breathing, you control your life. It's no secret that anxiety and anger, which can have devastating and often tragic consequences, can be greatly reduced by breathing techniques.
Thank you ever since I had heard you years back have been following this technique by which my health has improved to large extent. Love you
Tibetan Tsa Lung meditation, Korean Bulmudo, Indian Yogic techniques (perhaps the source of this wisdom)....More recent manifestations such as Wim Hof Impact therapy all indicate the efficacy of these breathing techniques, which have spread and achieved growth in adherents WITHOUT the need for double blind testing. I'm all for scientific testing to verify medical claims but the measuring of physical factors will never measure, or for that matter prove the spiritual aspects of such techniques. I would say a level of faith and an honest exploration is what is necessary on an individual level.
Absolutely wonderful. Very proud that am a Tamilian . Very proud to see this man so knowledgeable yet so humble. Vanakam .
Proud of you, Sundar sir. Loved your smile and the spotlessly clearn dothi. You are a gem!
🙏🙏🙏India was the Vishwa Guru!!!
By Bhagwat Kripa, this Generation will again undoubtedly and solidly make India the Vishwa Guru once again.
Nice Work Sundarji!!!🙏🙏
EVERYBODY LISTEN, THIS THIRUMOOLAR WAS NO ORDINARY MAN.HE WAS A MYSTIC OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD. He is a gem in spirituality. The only one who was Both a Siddha and a nayanmaar, his Thirumandiram is a scientific treatise on yoga.. Vitally relevant to modern times, he has explained this esoteric timeless science in a most scientific way, in a way even the most intelligent scientist would envy..
Great ! We are proud of you. Yes, by reading my pulse one Siddha Varmam doctor predicted how many years and months back I got a hit on my back and pointed out the exact spot. I remembered how in my Tamil Nadu (Thamilh Naadu) village house I used the rope hanging from the ceiling ignoring the rail-less ladder to reach upstairs in a single swing. Just when I was about to land, the rope broke sending me down to the floor in a flash after a hit from the door latch. I was almost breathless. Luckily my uncle who too knew varmam revived me at that time ! But several years later this expert cured me completely. That expert's son who is also knowledgeable, is in USA but does not wish to be identified.
Dear Sundar. Thank you for all your hard work and this excellent speech. I ordered two of your books from Amazon just now. I am a regular practitioner of Shambhavi, which I learned from Sadhguru. Blessings. 🙏🏽
Sir can u tell his book names
Wow.. I am a tamilan. I do have tried regulating breathing (in my own way) and found increasing saliva secretion.
But I didn't imagine it might have been elaborated in tamil literature. Thank you.
Wow - this gentleman has a true and clear understsnding of how to connect to our innerself through meditation. I salute u.
His back ground through education made the science real tieing it in with breathing stimulation. Its amazing to have such clarity of inner healing and control. great vid my friend.

वस्त्रेण वपुषा वाचा विद्यया विनयेन च ।
वकारैः पञ्चभिर्हीनः नरो नायाति गौरवम् ॥
Transliteration:
vastreṇa vapuṣā vācā vidyayā vinayena ca ।
vakāraiḥ pañcabhirhīnaḥ naro nāyāti gauravam ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
A person without all these 5 'va' kaaraa-s (words starting with 'va') does not attain respect: clothes, appearance, speech, knowledge and humility.
Commentary:
For a person to attain respect, there are a few basic requirements. All the five requirements quoted here start with the Sanskrit alphabet 'va'.
1. vastra (clothes). For humans, being robed in society is necessary. It doesn't have to be extravagant and expensive, just decent and appropriate.
2. vapuṣā (appearance). This is not just referring to physical beauty, but more the presentability of a person, in reference to inner beauty and cleanliness.
3. vācā (speech). One's speech should be pleasant, appealing and harmless.
4. vidyaa (knowledge, education). This is very important for a person to have in order to possess the above three 'va'kāra-s. Education gives one awareness of the world (and himself). It is also the one surefire way to attain liberation (mukti).
5. vinaya (humility). This is the most important adornment to any human being. Whether he is rich or poor, young or old - humility is the one adornment he can carry with him at all times.
A person who has all the above 5 qualities automatically attains respect wherever he goes.
pada vigrahaH:
वस्त्रेण वपुषा वाचा विद्यया विनयेन च ।
vastreṇa vapuṣā vācā vidyayā vinayena ca ।
वकारैः पञ्चभिः हीनः नरः न आयाति गौरवम् ॥
vakāraiḥ pañcabhiḥ hīnaḥ naraḥ na āyāti gauravam ॥

It is proud for all of us seeing you in TEDx and saying Vanakkam (Tamil), wearing traditional dhoti and talking about Thirumoolar and Thirumanthiram. All the best for all your research work. Thank you very much
We need. more scientist like. him to teach us. the. Ancient knowledge namaskaram
From Sri lanka; We are proud of you Doctor.
I remember once, I did not know what was happening then - one of my oldest sister was giving birth. Mother kept on telling her to breath, mother was so upset that she used bad language, but she kept on telling my sister to breath. All of the sudden I hear a baby cry, and I understood then what all was about it! Breathing is the key!
Controling the breath or its awareness is the key. Moreover they insist that the breathing rate should be drastically reduced in order to live longer or be stopped to become immortal. It makes sense.
Thank you for re affirming the path of ENLIGHTENMENT BEGINS & ENDS WITH ONE BREATH!
🌟🙏🙏🙏🌟🌟🌟😀
Big effects on the central nervous system and respiratory system when you do Pranayam. So that's why it's important to learn and do it carefully, it can bring results that are nothing short of miracles, but also can bring about serious damage if not done with proper technique. So you gotta be mindful of that. Especially Kumbhak 'Breath retention' Breath manipulation is an art and works wonders for your health and organs.
One of the best TEDx talks - Practical and useful to all, when compared to other theoretical long lectures.
How did it benefit u?
You made Tamizh proud,excellent talk 🙏🏻
Amazing and beautiful that such an ancient eastern practice is coming to save the day on the modern west’s mental health epidemic.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you,
Long story short.
I've sjorgrens
And I've had phlem.
Quite unusual since I don't have a cold. And I barely have phlem during colds either. .
Ancient culture
Thank you for keeping it alive
Just finished kapalabhati, bastrika and anulom viloma in the Himalayan Siddha tradition. 1/2 hour. Exciting adventure. Do it. Jaiastu.
This was an excellent lecture - he was energetic, smart and very charismatic!
I just wish he showed the techniques themselves more!
@@jwalkinit I see, perfect. Thank you bro!
This is the best TEDX content I have watched. Thank you.
I watched it now and content was very useful to all. request you to have such workshop here in India or Tamil Nadu, or at our college , whenever you visit hometown. This will spread the awareness about their breathing and wellness. you did a wonderful job and you are rocking too
VERY interesting and thank you for making yourself a bridge between your ancient practices and this modern world.
Very well presented.
Looks convincing.
I will try.
மிக்க நன்றி.
சுந்தர் பாலசுந்தர் அய்யா அவர்களுக்கு தமிழ் , சித்த வைத்தியம் , திருமூலரின் திருமந்திரத்தை பெருமையை எடுத்து விலக்கியத்தியதற்கு எனது மனமார்ந்த நன்றி. உங்கள் உரையில் தமிழ் மொழி is stone age language என்று சொல்லி இருக்கலாம். I also appreciate your research in yogic breathing in bio-medical field.
English translation- To Mr. sudar balasundar I appreciate to highlight the language of Tamil from southern part of India, Sidha medicine and thiru Mandiram (hyms) of Thirumular . But you could have added the language tamil existed from stone age which tamil inscription is still found in stones in various part of Tamilnadu. Also, Sholin temple fame Bodhi Dharman (Dhamu) for martial arts & Hypnotism is from Kancheepuram district Tamilnadu.
I am fascinated by the act of breathing because it can be a bridge to connect the body and the mind in both directions.
Excellent information.
சிறப்பான தகவல்.
6:25 that smile is yogic ❤
He has a very genuine & pure smile.
yeah obviously deep breathing or yogic breathing have lots of benefits.
i like that he told about how to control senses to control our mind which is completely explained in Bhagvad Gita.
I feel super blessed to be born around these truth seekers
Amazing natural living techniques and methods are hidden inside ancient Tamil literature. Thank you for bringing that to light and to the world. I believe there would be so much in other ancient cultures and civilizations as well. They all should be brought to the world in a more common language like English.
Hi Sir, I'm also from India from Bengal. I love Tamil culture and Tamilian food. I love being in Chennai
I bought the thrimoolar’s book recently and it’s the most fascinating book I’ve read so far and was excited to see it in your presentation!
Is it available in English?
Pranayama builds your mind for meditation. And you will experience it as you start doing it. The mind will be calm and cool, yet nourished for meditation with the right amount of energy. In a way, it ups the lethargic mind, while it downs an anxious or energetic mind
Now I know why I've seen videos/pics of Monks, breathing & or doing Yoga for centuries. I never really understood except maybe them enjoying the quietness. It was/is more or less them healing themselves or making their bodies stronger.💡 moment 👀
it's pretty cool that this work and that of Wim Hof & those that have studied him both show the massive benefits from simply mindfully breathing in & out, basically...
This was great! Yogic breathing changed my whole life. It feels like it heals me.
Where you learn it?? How to do it??
Awesome.
Thank you so much for this wonderful awakening 🙏
Stay blessed 💥
Thanks for bringing this information to the people.
Michele McKee hi
What information? What people?
Ef Ts People interested in breathing to their maximum capacity.
you didn t understand my irony
Can i meet u
I agree that yoga will relieve stress , rest of all things told are illogic. Hearing music , watching movies, going for shopping playing with children also good for relieving stress(Depending upon individuals).
Thanks for the good talk.❤
Initially I thought it is going to bore .. but your presentation made me to watch full video .. Deep knowledge
Practice of pranayam will help to control our mind.
So practice of all breathing exercises in slow motion is key to control our mind,senses and attachments.
We are proud of our Indian brother ,keep going
Wow, what a wonderful talk, so insightful thank you

Very useful in English. I also watch Ramdev ji yogas are really very powerful and useful
Muscles and six pack abs are not important if your behave, attitude, thinking is not good. Apart from that your body should response to your activity. I am practicing pranayama (Pathajali) and what i believe that this technique, is proven and have influenced my body in a positive way. It doesn't matter to whom you follow or do all it needs to do this Pranayama( Source of life).
India is most underrated country
Farzi Banda ...that is done intentionally by the ruling classes... in order to suppress knowledge
And credit goes to western countries
I personally have always been fascinated and impressed, but then again I grew up listening to the Beatles :-)

Who is the lady explaining about fears and how to overcome them? She has such a soothing voice and she talks good sense.
BK Shivani
9:26 Reference to Mahabharata where Krishna is riding the chairiot of arjuna, hanuman ji (vanara) is in the flag.
Sanathana Dharma or Hinduism one of oldest 'Way of Life' for Humans has contributed in all ways possible for Humanity. SAVE Hinduism.. SAVE Hindus !
6:11 Mantak Chia also explained in his book(s) how the Chinese considered saliva to be the nectar of immortality.
Great presentation! Proud of you..Taking our powerful yogic culture across nation..
good words of sundar balasubramanian ...by controlling breath( horse)- we can control mind( The monkey)
sirappaana padhivi..!! nandri !! vaazhga ..valarga..!!
Thank you
Really amazing and wonderful job to bring thirumoolar pranayamam and its benefits
Awesome buddy you are a pride of TamilNadu
Directly adjacent to your mouth is the visudah‘s chakra and buy polarity you taking energy. Like photosynthesis you assimilate energy into your body. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word(which was translated from Greek logos which means not written word but vibration like String theory)
