This paper proposes a clinical protocol for using integrated yoga practices as a complementary therapy for major psychological disorders, categorized into psychosis, neurosis, and personality disorders. The authors argue that specific yoga components—Asana, Pranayama, and Dhyana—offer distinct neuro-physiological benefits: grounding techniques for psychosis, autonomic regulation via Nadi Shodhana and Yoga Nidra for neurosis, and stabilizing postures and mindfulness for personality disorders. They emphasize that yoga is not a standalone cure but an adjunct that enhances coping, self-awareness, and quality of life, provided it is administered by trained professionals with attention to contraindications.
The spiritual and ethical ideals of Hindu and Buddhist philosophy, especially their Vedic and Upanishadic traditions, deeply influenced T.S. Eliot's poetic vision and provided a framework for addressing the spiritual emptiness of modern humanity in his poem The Waste Land. The study traces how Indian religious thought, encountered through Eliot's mentors and the Oriental Study Centre at Harvard, permeates each section of the poem, offering a moral and spiritual yardstick to restore meaning alongside Christian intent. The analysis argues that this infusion of Eastern wisdom gives the poem a universal undertone, balancing European cultural traditions with enduring Indian values of high moral character and ethical living.
