HOUSTON, TEXAS, March 7, 2002: Yoga practioners, physicians and researchers from all cities of US, India, Germany, Japan and China shared a common platform at the International Conference and Workshop on Yoga for Positive Health held here from March 2 – 7. Erudite scholars and researchers from the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation (sVYASA), as well as the research team from Houston’s M.D. Anderson Hospital provided valuable data culled from years of studying the positive and beneficial effects of yoga as additional treatment therapy in patients with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and asthma. Featured guest speakers from sVYASA included Dr. A. Malathi, CEO of Manipal Hospital. Padma Bhushan Dr. E.C.G. Sudarshan, Professor of Physics at U.T. Austin, spoke on how consciousness interacts with the mind and brain, yet is distinct from them. Other well-known speakers were Dr. Blair Justice, Dr. Larry Dossey, Dr. David Frawley and Dr. Subhash Kak. The general consensus was that the research on yoga be presented at a medical conference so that it’s benefits could be better understood and implemented more diversely.
