Yogi Bhajan used to<br />
say, “Doing is believing.”<br />
Thousands of us all over<br />
the world “did,” and we<br />
discovered for ourselves<br />
that Kundalini Yoga works.<br />
As teachers, we’ve heard<br />
hundreds of “testimonials”<br />
from grateful students. Now<br />
Dr. Sat Bir Singh delves into<br />
the history of the scientific<br />
research that has been<br />
done revealing the benefits<br />
of practicing yoga and<br />
meditation.<br />

Scientific Research on the Effects of Yoga and Meditation<br />
By Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.<br />
Photo caption: The Bagchi (2nd from the right) and<br />
Wenger (4th from the left) research team seated with a yogi<br />
instrumented for recording. Dr. Chinna (far right) would<br />
later conduct yoga research in Delhi. The photo caption in<br />
the original article published in 1957 said, “In the center<br />
is seated a meditative yogi with his friends and admirers<br />
including a high government official at a New Delhi<br />
residence. This picture was taken after the first session of<br />
recording. The Yogi consented to be a subject after a great<br />
deal of hesitation and discussion regarding the purpose of<br />
the research. Later he was most cooperative and allowed<br />
three more sessions. This yogi is highly thought of in<br />
certain sections of the country.”<br />
