Modern science faces serious difficulties explaining the difference between mind and brain. The biggest challenge they face is, mind is invisible. Schizophrenia is a disease connected to mental disorder and affects how a patient thinks, feels, wills and finally acts.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the symptoms of Schizophrenia include inability to distinguish between what is factual and what is imaginary; difficulty expressing emotions in social situations; and unpredictable behavior pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Since the disease is connected to the mind, researchers\u00a0 dealing only with gross body mechanism have tough time coming to conclusion as to what causes Schizophrenia. Some suspect it to be split personality while others defy such propositions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;Contrary to public perception, schizophrenia is not split personality or multiple personality. The vast majority of people with schizophrenia are not violent and do not pose a danger to others. Schizophrenia is not caused by childhood experiences, poor parenting or lack of willpower, nor are the symptoms identical for each person.&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentalhealthamerica.net\/conditions\/schizophrenia\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Since there are number of conceptions and misconceptions about the cause of Schizophrenia, there understandably are lot more conceptions and misconceptions about its treatment and whether there is any definite cure for it. Anti-depression drugs have made the scenario only worse. On top of that, there is no dearth of unproven claims made by psychologists, psychiatrists.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing a fresh breath of air and new hopes for the\u00a0Schizophrenia patients, a dynamic, Indian origin neurologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Dr Viveck Baluja, seems to have hit the nail right on the head by studying the changing brain patterns while chanting the famous Hare Krishna maha mantra.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, an <a href=\"http:\/\/iskconnews.org\/neurologists-study-shows-maha-mantra-could-help-anxiety-schizophrenia,5989\/\" target=\"_blank\">article <\/a>published on <a href=\"http:\/\/iskconnews.org\" target=\"_blank\">iskconnews.org<\/a> regarding this incredible findings states that Dr Baluja (aka Vinaya Gaurachandra das) began his study by observing the effects of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra on the brain of one test subject \u2013 himself &#8211; using MEG, a neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8220;First, the subject\u2019s brainwaves were observed while in a peaceful, resting state. Next, the brainwaves were remeasured after the subject chanted four rounds of the Pancha Tattva mantra, followed by half an hour of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Then the difference was recorded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Baluja, &#8220;the data showed that the brain is not actually restful in the so-called resting state.\u201d &#8220;Your brain continues to constantly give you information. After chanting, however, the data showed almost no cortical activation, or brain activity. This is very interesting, because it shows that you\u2019ve actually been able to calm down the brain.\u201d, Dr Baluja observed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-96587\" src=\"http:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra1-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra1-366x420.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8220;&#8221;This data shows the brain at rest. Notice that it does not actually look so restful. There is activation of sending areas (red) and receiving areas (green)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">What\u2019s groundbreaking about this is that according to Vinaya, the only method doctors currently have of decreasing such brain activity is anti-epileptic medication. This is used as a therapeutic measure to treat patients with anxiety, schizophrenia, and other such mental disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cVoluntarily decreasing your brain activity is unheard of,\u201d he says. \u201cBut our findings show that we can create the same therapeutic effects of medication by chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. That\u2019s very exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-96588\" src=\"http:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra2-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/mayapurvoice.com\/svagatam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/brainmahamantra2-413x420.jpg 413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Here we see the brain after four rounds of the Pancha-tattva mantra and 30 minutes of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.

But higher amplitudes are seen in posterior channels, which may reflect more activity in the cerebellum.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Vinaya says that this has piqued the interest of members of the Henry Ford Hospital Institutional Review Board, who have approved the study of ten more subjects to gather more data and further validate his findings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_right\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The subjects will all be devotees of Krishna who have been chanting for five years or more. \u201cIt\u2019s key that they already have a taste for chanting, because it may not be so easy to get someone to chant for half an hour who hasn\u2019t chanted before,\u201d Vinaya says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This study will develop baseline scientific proof of the effects of chanting on the brain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The next step, currently underway, will be to conduct an online survey of all 95,000 initiated devotees across the globe \u2013 or any devotees who have been chanting for some years \u2013 on their experience with chanting the maha-mantra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cWe\u2019re asking subjectively, has it made them feel better? What has it done for them?\u201d Vinaya says. \u201cIs there any fluctuation? Do they feel different on days that they chant and on days that they don\u2019t? This is to gather data on what effect chanting has on anxiety, depression, addiction, and just on your mood on a day-to-day basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">These \u2018big data metrics\u2019 will be used to show medical institutions the efficacy of chanting. The final phase of Vinaya Gaurachandra\u2019s project will then be to try therapeutic chanting in a hospital setting with patients who have not chanted before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cThe ISKCON Movement will benefit by metrics of success,\u201d he says. \u201cThis data is crucial to being able to point to the effect of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s intervention on the world in a scientific way. We\u2019ll use it to establish the basis for clinical trials, and to point us in the right directions for where chanting is effective in increasing quality of life and where it is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201cFor the movement to really be able to prescribe the Hare Krishna maha-mantra,\u201d Vinaya concludes, \u201cWe need to simply collect our data in an organized fashion, so that it will no longer be viewed as a pseudo-scientific process. Then we will have unbiased data to move forward in our preaching movement, in a systematic and metric-based fashion. And we will be able to ethically approach the scientific community as Srila Prabhupada wanted.\u201d&#8221; (Source <a href=\"http:\/\/iskconnews.org\/neurologists-study-shows-maha-mantra-could-help-anxiety-schizophrenia,5989\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/iskconnews.org\/neurologists-study-shows-maha-mantra-could-help-anxiety-schizophrenia,5989\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To share your experience with the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and help gain support for this study, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/Mahamantrasurvey\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Viveck Baluja is not the first one to study brainwaves during mantra meditation.
