English Vocabulary Practice Lesson - March 15th

It is not just Indian Yoga that has become commercially successful in the Western world, a deeper and a higher science of meditation is also growing on the same lines. Suddenly, so many scientists and psychologists have become so interested in researching the benefits of something that the East has been practicing since eternity. The East with its inexhaustible treasures of meditative practices has always mystified the West. But the West does not accept anything without scientific examination.

Today, Western science and psychology are supporting the beneficial effects of meditation on practicing individuals. A recent research published in Biological Psychiatry, coordinated by Carnegie Mellon associate professor J. David Creswell, demonstrated that meditation does, in fact, change the brains of practitioners in positive ways that appear to equip them to cope better with life stresses.

The seekers sacrificed their material world for the spiritual world and to share their realization with the world at large. But the West has a totally different, diametrically opposite approach.
