body'. Harmonizes the hormones by 'Perception of psychic centres'. Management of aura is taken care of by Perception of psychic colours'. Ultimately at the level of consciousness there is a experience of unity in diversity. It brings more and more understanding of self and nature leading to universal friendship and amity.

Conclusion:
Much of personal dissatisfaction afflicting todays high-tech society can be traced to lack of self-awareness rather than technology. Preksha meditation, which is a system specifically designed and refined over ages to increase self-awareness, is ideally suited to alleviate dissatisfaction at a personal level. It requires no capital investment nor to become an ascetic at the expense of wordly life. All that is required is a desire to learn the self, to dive deeper into ones being and unearth the mystries that lie within.
Several studies have been conducted to quantify the benefits of PM, not only on intangible things such as personal satisfaction but on measurable entities like blood pressure, heart-rate, etc. The results are unequivocally astounding. For example, in one study conducted by cardiologist Dr. Manchanda and Dr. Vimal Chhajed of AIIMS, PM resulted in cardio-vascular benefits comparable to many clotbusting drugs or more invasive procedures such as baloon Angioplasty. Similar results have been achieved in other fields. The results are especially noteworthy because of the minimum expenses and discomfort to the patient in practising PM as opposed to more invasive procedures.
Experience at JVB, and other similar institutions has revealed that the discipline required for Preksha Meditation can be developed over time. And once developed, it benefits all spheres of life and not just mental and spiritual well-being.
Awareness to consciousness and utilization of its power is the prime need of the time. There is a need for a new science of consciousness to bring out more and more self-understanding to alleviate and eliminate human sufferings. It is essential for building a new generation with scientific outlook and spiritual amity to all. All these, are key ingredients that lead to global peace and harmony with
nature.
